This week, Drewby and Yergy head out to Gary, Indiana, to discuss the case of Christian Choate, a beautiful little boy who was locked inside a dog crate by his father and stepfather, who also ordered his older sister to act as his jailer. Christian was kept in that dog crate for about a year until he was ultimately beaten to death.
