This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Danvers, Massachusetts, to discuss the tragic case of Colleen Ritzer. Colleen was a well loved math teacher at Danvers High School. She adored her students, and was always willing to lend a helping hand. One such student was Philip Schism, who had just moved to the area from Tennessee... the very student that took her life in the place she was supposed to feel the most safe... her school.
