The Case of Kinsleigh Welty

This week, Drewby and Yergy head back to Indianapolis to discuss the case of Kinsleigh Welty, a 5-year-old girl who was starved and locked away in a waste filled closet, only to die at the hands of those who were supposed to protect her. Even worse? Several adults, both inside and outside of the home knew what was going on, and no one stepped in to help Kinsleigh. In fact, her own grandmother helped cover up her abuse from CPS.

The Case of Finley Boden

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Derbyshire to discuss the case of Finley Boden, a 10-month-old baby boy who was doomed from the very beginning. Finley was taken away from his parents, Stephen Boden and Shannon Marsden, at birth... only to be returned to their care in the fall of 2020. Baby Finley should have been enjoying his very first Christmas with his parents. But, that’s not what happened…

The Case of Miya Rudd

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Kentucky to discuss the case of Miya Rudd - a beautiful baby girl who was essentially born into a family of lowlife petty criminals. After her parents, Tesla Tucker and Cage Rudd, allow their buddy, Brodie Payne, to run a meth operation out of the family home, it's discovered that little Miya was nowhere to be found. Except, she hadn't actually left the house...

The Case of Dr. Priyanka Reddy AKA The Hyderabad Nirbhaya

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Hyderabad, India, to discuss the case of Dr. Priyanka Reddy, otherwise known as "Disha" and "Hyderabad Nirbhaya" in the media. Dr. Reddy was a veterinarian living in the southern Indiana city, who met a brutal fate on November 27th, 2019. After leaving her scooter at a toll plaza and taking a taxi into the city, she was ambushed by 4 drunk men who'd flattened one of her tires. The 4 mean took turns assaulting her, before eventually smothering her to death, and burning her body beneath an underpass miles away. To add insult to injury, what happened next to the 4 men accused of her assault and murder actually stole headlines around India.

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to St. Petersburg, Florida, to discuss the case of Taylen Mosley and his mother, Pashun Jeffery. After some sort of dispute after his 21st birthday party, Taylen's father, Thomas, stabbed Pashun in excess of 100 time in her back and head, leaving her to die in her apartment. Taylen, however, was nowhere to be found. When he was eventually located a few days later, it was the last place anyone expected...

The Case of the Barrass Family

This week, Drewby and Yergy head back over to the other side of The Pond to discuss the case of the Barrass Family. When mother, Sarah, become paranoid that social services are catching onto the fact that the father of her children is none other than her half-brother, Brandon Machin, the disgusting couple hatch a deadly plot to avoid the consequences of their relationship... one that resulted in the murder of their two eldest sons, Tristan and Blake.

The Case of the Criado Family Massacre

This week, Drewby and Yergy head west to Medford, Oregon to discuss the case of the Criado family. This story draws a lot of parallels to many other family annihilator cases we've seen where Dad is the assailant... He begins to lose control, snaps, and murders his entire family. We saw this most recently with Rowan Baxter, who murdered his estranged wife, Hannah, and their four kids. This story, sadly, is no different. These are the stories of Tabasha, Elijah, Isaac, Andrew, and Aurora Criado.

The Case of Mia McQuillin

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Paris, France, to discuss the case of Mia McQuillin, an American teen who was harboring a secret... After embarking on a high end gap year program that was supposed to take her around the world, Mia gave birth in a Paris hotel room. Rather than seeking help, Mia did the unthinkable... She threw her newborn baby boy from a second story window and into the trash.

The Case of the Amato Family Massacre

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to sunny Chuluota, Florida, to discuss the case of Grant Amato, a young man living with parents just outside of Orlando. When Grant's nursing and streaming careers failed, he set his sights on something new... a high end Bulgarian cam girl named Silvie. Soon, Grant developed a full blown addiction, stealing more than $200,000 from his family, and taking out a fraudulent $65,000 mortgage... all to pay for time with his new love interest. Soon, his family's attempts at helping him turned to disaster...
