This story is hard to listen to, but I feel so drawn to it and have this need to share it on the podcast because I grew up in the same area where this happened, so it’s very near and dear to my heart. I came across this story from someone who shared it with me that I know personally. This may not be a very lengthy episode, but it’s a big one, especially for the family affected. This week’s story involves a child who was murdered in a tragic, horrific way, and because of the nature of this crime, please be advised, especially if you have young ears listening, that the details surrounding this case are graphic and may be disturbing.

This devastating nightmare happened in June 2023. Recently, Pennsylvania’s Attorney General announced on January 11, 2024, that a Lawrence County woman has been arrested on charges related to the abuse and death of her boyfriend’s one-year-old daughter.

Baby Iris Alfera's family hopes to help protect children in future cases.
