This week, Drewby and Yergy head back to Ohio to discuss the case of Hershall Creachbaum Jr, a young boy with cerebral palsy who was beaten to death by his drunken stepfather. But the horror didn’t end there...
In a desperate attempt to cover up the murder, the man staged a fake kidnapping and fed investigators a twisted lie. Even more disturbing? CPS had been warned. Reports were made. The bruises were visible. But no one acted.
