The Misery Machine
There’s a problem with True Crime. Creators idolize perpetrators, shame victims, or are completely checked out on cases while they focus on other things. However, we can’t forget there are victims who lost their lives and families who are still grieving to this day. Furthermore, many True Crime outlets spend their time focusing on themselves or rambling, instead of getting right to the facts of the case. We hear you, this is frustrating. The Misery Machine focuses on cases the media fails to give proper attention to. We want to help give those a voice that never got to have one, to begin with. We also cover aspects of cases that other podcasts might look the other way on, and the way that these cases impact their communities for generations. It’s not enough to simply cover a case, our platform must be used to make a difference.

The Case of AJ Freund
Tuesday Dec 12, 2023
Tuesday Dec 12, 2023
This week, Drewby and Yergy head to the Chicago suburb to discuss the case of 5-eayr-old AJ Freund, and adorable little boy who lost his life at the hands of his mother, Joann Cunningham, and his father, Andrew Freund - his mother's former divorce attorney. Both parents were addicted to drugs and lived in squalor, and two of Joann's ex-partners died of drug overdoses. On the evening of April 15th, 2019, AJ tried to hide a pair of underwear after he soiled himself. As punishment, AJ was forced into a cold shower with the water pointed right at his face, and was beaten to death. His autopsy later showed that he died from massive trauma to the skull and brain that was caused by multiple blunt force trauma to the head. His brain was so swollen part of it swelled into the spinal cord, crushing brain tissue.

The Case of Alex Radita
Monday Dec 11, 2023
Monday Dec 11, 2023
This week, Drewby and Yergy head north to Canada to discuss the tragic case of Alex Radita, a young boy diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes as a toddler. The son of an immigrant family from Romania, Alex was denied his insulin and diabetic testing supplies. His parents, Emil and Rodica Radita, thought prayer would heal him and that he wasn't that sick. They outright refused to believe that Alex actually had diabetes. Of course, the prayer didn't work, and Alex succumbed to his illness at just 15 years old.

The Case of Lily Peters
Thursday Dec 07, 2023
Thursday Dec 07, 2023
This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, to discuss the case of Iliana "Lily" Peters, a 10-year old girl who was murdered and sexually assaulted on April 24th, 2022. Her murder gained significant attention and media coverage due to the ages of both the victim and the suspect. On April 26, 2022, Lily's cousin, 14-year old Carson Peters-Berger was arrested on charges of murder and sexual assault. Carson was originally publicly identified only by his initials "CPB". But the apple didn't fall far from the tree, in Carson's case. His own father, Adam Berger, was arrested after CSA material depicting very young girls were found on his phone.

The Case of Nubia Barahona
Monday Dec 04, 2023
Monday Dec 04, 2023
This week, Drewby and Yergy head to south Florida to discuss the case of Nubia Barahona, a 10-year-old girl who was murdered on February 11th, 2011. Her body was found February 14th, 2011, wrapped in a plastic garbage bag in the bed of her adoptive father's pickup truck on the side of I-95 in West Palm Beach, Florida. Her body had partially decomposed from being covered in chemicals, possibly pesticides. Her twin brother, Victor Barahona, was in the cab of the truck with his father, suffering seizures from chemical burns and inhalation of toxic gas. Her adoptive parents Jorge and Carmen Barahona were indicted on charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse and child neglect on March 23rd, 2011. The case has sparked outrage from Florida citizens and officials regarding the Florida Department of Children and Families' handling of previous allegations of abuse by the Barahonas.

The Case of Lindsay Clancy
Thursday Nov 30, 2023
Thursday Nov 30, 2023
This week, Drewby and Yergy head down to Duxbury, Massachusetts, to discuss the case of Lindsay Marie Clancy, a young mother of three who worked as a labor and delivery nurse in Boston. She, her husband Patrick, and their three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, were the picture-perfect upper-middle-class family. That was until Lindsay, who had been battling symptoms of postpartum psychosis, took the lives of her three children before attempting to take her own life by jumping from her bedroom window.

The Case of Sophie Sergie
Wednesday Nov 29, 2023
Wednesday Nov 29, 2023
This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Alaska to discuss the case of Sophie Sergie, a young Yu'Pik woman attending the University of Alaska Fairbanks. In late April of 1993, Sophie's body was discovered in the bathroom of the women's dormitory on campus. But soon, without any leads, her case went cold. That was until 345 months later, when the same DNA evidence techniques used to catch the Golden State Killer pointed the police to a suspect... a suspect living in our own backyard.

Samiah was a beautiful little girl born to Ronald Greer Jr and Monicka Downing on Valentine's Day of 2008. The couple later separated.
