The Case of Logan Marr

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Chelsea, Maine, to discuss the case of Logan Marr, a 5-year-old little girl who, along with her sister, Bailey, was unjustly stolen from their parents and placed into foster care by the Maine DHHS system. While in the system, they were placed in the care of DHHS social worker Sally Schofield, who had no plans to return the girls to their rightful parents. Unfortunately for Logan, she would soon lose her life over the gross negligence of the agency that was supposed to protect her.

The Case of Shanay Evans + Jaron Wells

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Evansville, Indiana, to discuss the case of Shanay Evans -  a 45-year-old mother of two who was found dead in a derelict home. The mother had been shot in the head and left to decay on a dirty mattress on the floor. But as police searched for clues as to who could have done this to  a woman who seemingly had no enemies, all sources pointed to one suspect - her own son, Jaron Wells.

The Case of Autumn Lee Hallow

This week, Drewby and Yergy discuss the case of Autumn Lee Hallow, a young girl from Minnesota who became a victim of the pandemic... but not because she had fallen ill. Her father, Brett Hallow, and her new stepmother, Sarah Kay Nasby, kept little Autumn away from her mother, Kelsey, and blamed it on the pandemic. On August 13th, 2020, paramedics were called to the couple's apartment after Autumn was found unresponsive. Brett and Sarah claimed that the little girl had simply drown in the bathtub, however, her body told a very different story... as did the security cameras the couple had installed all over their home.

The Case of Jazmin Paez

This week, we discuss the case of Jazmin Paez, a South Florida woman who decided she didn't want to be a mother to her young son anymore. But rather than try to ask for help, she decided to enlist the services of the website, RentAHitman.com. Little did Jazmin (somehow) not know that website was meant to be a joke, and the joke was now on her.

The Case of Alissa Guernsey

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Topeka, IN, to discuss the case of 17-month-old Alissa Guernsey, a little girl who was placed in the custody of her mother's cousin, Christy Shaffer, while her mother, Kelli Sprunger, tried to get on her feet. After Alissa's father, Michael Guernsey, died in a car crash on I-69 S in DeKalb County, Kelli relapsed into her addictive behaviors. What was supposed to be a short term placement with family members quickly turned into a nightmare for Alissa, who quickly became used as Christy's personal punching bag. After the little girl eventually succumbed to her abusive treatment at the hands of her caregiver, insult was added to injury when Christy wasn't even charged with murder.
