The Case of Timothy Ferguson

This week, Drewby and Yergy discuss the case of Timothy Ferguson of Michigan, a 13-year-old autistic boy who lived with his mother and stepfather, Shanda and Adam Vander Ark, as well as his older brother, Paul Ferguson. But when Adam suffered a serious of medical events that caused him to be placed into the care of his parents, Shanda and Paul turned Timothy into a literal prisoner in his own home... locking him in a closet, monitoring him with cameras and motion sensors, depriving him of both sleep and food (aside from hot sauce bread), and making him take ice baths until his 69 pound body could suffer no more.

The Case of Jayden Lopez

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Galveston, Texas, to discuss the case of Jayden Alexander Lopez, who was known to the community as "Little Jacob" after his body washed ashore in Galveston Bay in  2017. With the help of forensic sketch artist, Lois Gibson, as well as a shocking photograph of the dead child's face that was released to the public, detectives were able to track down "Little Jacob's" caretakers - his mother, Rebecca Suzanne Rivera, and her girlfriend, Dania Amezquita Gomez.

The Case of Laila Daniel

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Georgia to discuss the infuriating case of Laila Daniel. Laila was an adorable little girl that got caught up in the foster care system with her older sister, Millie. After being placed in two different homes, Laila and Millie went to stay with Jennifer Rosenbaum, who, coincidentally, was a former foster child who knew the girls' mother, Tessa, from a group home years prior. DHS thought that this was a great placement, that was until the girls began showing signs of abuse... much of which was directed at Laila.

The Case of Regis Johnson and Arhonda Tillman

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Davenport, Florida, to discuss another case in Sheriff Grady Judd's territory - and that's the case of Regis and Arhonda Tillman. The couple met at church and proceeded to have a little girl together. At the time of our story, that little girl, who has not been named by the police, was 3-years-old, and Arhonda was already pregnant again. On Tuesday, May 10th, 2022, deputies with the Polk County Sheriff’s Department, along with members of fire and rescue responded to a call at the couple's derelict home located at 6720 South Orange Blossom Trail. There, they found the little girl dead inside of an inflatable pool that was being used as a makeshift playpen. She weighted as much as a newborn baby...

The Case of Porchia Bennett

This week, Drewby and Yergy discuss the case of Porchia Bennett, a 3 year old girl from Philadelphia, PA, who was dumped off at a random man's house along with her siblings after her mother, Tiffany Bennett, didn't want to be a mother anymore. That man, Jerry Chambers, inflicted horrors onto the children, which was later described by the District Attorney as the worst case of child abuse that he'd ever seen in the city... one that would cost little Porchia her life.

The Case of Amari Boone

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Fort Worth, Texas to discuss the case of Amari Demontre Boone, an adorable little boy who was loved very much by his parents, Rodney Boone and Ariana George. However, Amari's parents fell on difficult times and reached out to CPS for help, after which, Amari and his younger brother were placed in the care of Deondrick Foley and his partner, Joseph Delancy. What at first seemed like a great placement soon turned into a nightmare for little Amari, who suffered a shattered pelvis, before being tortured for 51 days, finally succumbing to his injuries.

The Case of Damian Sutton

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Michigan to discuss the case of Damian Sutton, an adorable little boy with giant blue eyes and a love for Elmo. After his mother, Nikki, fell on hard times, she moved in with a man named Ronald DiMambro and his family. The two were not a couple, but Ronald was willing to help the young mother get back on her feet. Doing what she felt was right for her son, Nikki accepted the offer. However, Ronald, who had a violent history, began harboring resentment for little Damian - a resentment that would unfortunately result in the little boy dying at his hands.
