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 the Criado Family Massacre
Monday Mar 10, 2025
Monday Mar 10, 2025
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
Monday Mar 03, 2025
Monday Mar 03, 2025
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
Thursday Feb 27, 2025
Thursday Feb 27, 2025
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...

The Cases of Lamora Williams & Ka Yang
Monday Feb 24, 2025
Monday Feb 24, 2025
This week, Drewby and Yergy revisit two cases that have come to resolutions, albeit very different ones. The first is of Georgia mother, Lamora Williams, who cooked her two sons in an oven after her boyfriend broke up with her, and the second is of California mother, Ka Yang, who cooked her infant daughter in the microwave after experiencing a seizure.

The Case of Giselle Glover
Tuesday Feb 18, 2025
Tuesday Feb 18, 2025
This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Central Florida to discuss the case of Giselle Glover, a beautiful little girl living with diabetes. Giselle had her whole life ahead of her until her mother, ex-CPS worker Kelsey Glover, began neglecting her medical needs. After a fight with her roommate over how Giselle was being medically neglected, Giselle tore out her daughter's insulin pump and drowned her in the bathtub.

The Cases of Gabriel Fernandez, Anthony Avalos, and Noah Cuatro
Thursday Feb 13, 2025
Thursday Feb 13, 2025
Many people have heard of the cases we are about to talk about, but there’s a couple of important pieces of information that people often get wrong when they talk about them. The first is the belief that a horrific murder of a child under CPS oversight with a detailed history is an anomaly, that’s sadly not the case. Now, many people recognize that the amount of people who tried to help the poor boys we are discussing today are more than you could comfortably fit in the room we're sitting in, as well as the fact that dozens upon dozens of calls were made to the police and to various social services to try to save them. And yes, that does not sound real, but as nightmarish as it sounds, it did happen. This happens more often than you think, this channel is proof of that, and one of the worst parts of doing this is we can only cover the victims that are more than a small blurb in the newspaper. Yes, that’s right. Most murders, even those involving children, end up being nothing more than a small obituary, or a paragraph on a news website.
The second thing people often get wrong with this case, is that despite the catastrophic negligence of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Families, the average person believes the spokespeople from LA County who claimed that they would fix every problem in their system and that a case like this would never happen again here.
But sadly, it did happen again. It happened at least two more times that we know of. Inside a county that should have known better. A county that openly told us that it knew better. We will talk about those two other times later in the video. But first, let’s dive into the cases that opened our eyes to the systemic issues inside of the departments put in place to protect children. These are the stories of Gabriel Fernandez, Anthony Avalos, and Noah Cuatro.
