Last week, I told you about two-year-old Santina Cawley, a happy little red-haired Irish girl who lit up her family’s lives. I also told you about Santina’s tragic and brutal death and the intensive gardaí investigation that led to the arrest of Karen Harrington, the pregnant girlfriend of Santina’s father, Michael Cawley.In this episode, I’ll continue where I left off last week, jumping right into testimony given at Karen’s murder trial by gardaí, Karen’s friends and family, and the defendant herself. I’ll also tell you about the aftermath of the trial and how Santina’s murder has affected everyone who loved her.This is part two of the heartbreaking story of Santina Cawley.Photos related to today's episode can be viewed on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpodYou can also follow the podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpod Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/sufferthelittlechildrenpodcast Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/STLCpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@STLCpod My Linktree is available here: https://linktr.ee/stlcpod Visit the podcast's web page at https://www.sufferthelittlechildrenpod.com.

True crime

Over the last two episodes, I’ve told you the story of three-year-old Arabella Parker, who died in November 2019 after severe abuse at the hands of her mother’s boyfriend, Jahrid Burgess. For this episode, I was honored to speak with three people close to Arabella’s case. First, you’ll hear my recent conversation with the Sunbury Daily Item’s crime reporter, Francis Scarcella, who followed Arabella’s story from the very beginning. Then, you’ll hear me talk with two of Arabella’s maternal aunts, Samantha Delcamp’s sisters, Mandy Kegler and Sarah Delcamp, two amazingly strong women who’ve endured the death of their beloved niece, the imprisonment of their sister, and the cruelty of the public with a great deal of grace. This is part 3 of the complex, tragic story of Arabella Parker, retold.Photos related to today's episode can be viewed on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpod You can also follow the podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpodTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/STLCpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@STLCpodMy Linktree is available here: https://linktr.ee/stlcpod Visit the podcast's web page at https://www.sufferthelittlechildrenpod.com. Please help me devote myself to the podcast full-time to keep the weekly episodes coming!

Episode 171: Arabella Parker, Retold (Part 3)

In episodes 35 and 36, back in late 2020, I told you the story of 9-month-old Jacob Landin, a tiny boy with a big laugh and an even bigger personality. Jacob died in April 1987 from a severe traumatic brain injury. When the injury occurred, he was in the care of his mom’s boyfriend, Steven Chavez, who told several different stories to Brenda Landin, medical professionals, and investigators. Despite being the only suspect, failing a polygraph, and reportedly confessing to police, Steven was never prosecuted for Jacob’s murder, and he went on to abuse and terrorize Jacob’s mom and brother for years afterward.For this bonus episode, I spoke again with Eric Carter-Landin, Jacob’s big brother and the host of the True Consequences podcast. We discussed Eric and Brenda’s efforts to get justice for Jacob, the New Mexico Attorney General’s refusal to treat Jacob and his family with the respect they deserve, why they finally decided to name Steven after all these years, and how we can help by getting on board with the current 10 Days of Jacob campaign.Attorney General “Contact Us” form: https://nmdoj.gov/contact-us New Mexico Department of JusticeOffice of the Attorney General, Raúl Torrez201 3rd St. NWAlbuquerque, NM 87102(505) 490-4060 Episode 35: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/re-release-episode-35-jacob-landin-part-1--47429959Episode 36: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/re-release-episode-36-jacob-landin-part-2--47429996 True Consequences - NM Forgotten Child - Jacob Jeremiah Landin, part 1: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/nm-forgotten-child-jacob-jeremiah-landin--25919867Part 2: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/nm-forgotten-child-jacob-jeremiah-landin-part-2--26727541Part 3: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/nm-forgotten-child-jacob-jeremiah-landin-part-3--25919870True Consequences - A Brother’s Love: Justice for Jacob Landin: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/a-brother-s-love-justice-for-jacob-landin--59154357True Consequences - A Family’s Love: Justice for Jacob: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/a-family-s-love-justice-for-jacob--59239092 Photos related to today's episode can be viewed on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpod You can also follow the podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpodTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/STLCpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@STLCpodMy Linktree is available here: https://linktr.ee/stlcpod Visit the podcast's web page at https://www.sufferthelittlechildrenpod.com. Please help me devote myself to the podcast full-time to keep the weekly episodes coming!

Bonus Episode: 10 Days of Jacob

In the last episode, I told you the first part of the story of three-year-old Arabella Parker, who was rushed to the hospital on October 10, 2019, reportedly suffering from a seizure. Because medical staff wasn’t told that the seizure resulted from severe head trauma, the damage was irreparable, and Arabella died on November 22, 2019.In this episode, I’ll take you through the hearings and the trials of the three people accused of allowing, causing, or covering up the reason for Arabella’s death: her mother, Samantha Delcamp; Samantha’s boyfriend, Jahrid Burgess; and Jahrid’s mother, Christy Willis.In the next episode, you’ll hear my conversations with several people close to Arabella’s case.This is part two of the complex, tragic story of Arabella Parker, retold.The Crime Wire article, “Amanda Parker, Samantha Delcamp, and the Domestic Violence Debate”: https://thecrimewire.com/multifarious/woman-who-berated-samantha-delcamp-is-branded-a-hypocrite Beyond Duress: Supporting the Admissibility of Evidence of Battered Woman Syndrome to Aid the Defenses of Battered Mothers Charged with Failing to Protect Their Children Against Their Common Abuser: https://aulawreview.org/blog/beyond-duress-supporting-the-admissibility-of-evidence-of-battered-woman-syndrome/ Photos related to today's episode can be viewed on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpod You can also follow the podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpodTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/STLCpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@STLCpodMy Linktree is available here: https://linktr.ee/stlcpod Visit the podcast's web page at https://www.sufferthelittlechildrenpod.com. Please help me devote myself to the podcast full-time to keep the weekly episodes coming!

Episode 170: Arabella Parker, Retold (Part 2)

Four years ago, in episodes 16 and 17, I told you the tragic story of 3-year-old Arabella Parker. Because that was so early in my podcasting journey, I’m not satisfied with my coverage of her story, so I’m revisiting it in an all-new, comprehensive re-telling as I’ve never told it before: with the help of her family and others. On October 10, 2019, Arabella reportedly suffered a seizure at her home in Trevorton, Pennsylvania. At the hospital, doctors immediately suspected child abuse based on her multitude of injuries, which included a head injury so severe that they had to remove part of Arabella’s brain. Her mother’s boyfriend, Jahrid Burgess, was arrested almost immediately. After her mother, Samantha Delcamp, gave multiple conflicting statements to police, to reporters, and even on The Steve Wilkos Show, Samantha was also arrested. When the tiny, beloved red-haired girl died after six weeks on life support, Jahrid and Samantha’s charges were upgraded to homicide.This is part one of the complex, tragic story of Arabella Parker, retold.Thanks to Magic Mind for sponsoring the show!

Episode 169: Arabella Parker, Retold (Part 1)

(This episode was originally released in April 2022.)On the morning of Wednesday, March 18, 2020, police in Bakersfield, California responded to an apartment on a report of an eight-year-old child not breathing. Although Ger’Mya Alexander was rushed to the hospital, she died of her injuries the same day. Her mother’s boyfriend, 37-year-old Clint Mason, who had been caring for Ger’Mya when she was fatally injured, fled on foot and was apprehended the next morning. This is the story of a smart, sweet, caring little girl who adored her granny and sometimes got in trouble at school for talking too much. It’s also the story of her unnecessary, brutal death at the hands of a man she should have been able to trust to protect her.This is the heartbreaking story of Ger’Mya Alexander.Photos related to today's episode can be viewed on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpod You can also follow the podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpodTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/STLCpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@STLCpodMy Linktree is available here: https://linktr.ee/stlcpod Visit the podcast's web page at https://www.sufferthelittlechildrenpod.com. Please help me devote myself to the podcast full-time to keep the weekly episodes coming!
