This week, Drewby and Yergy head down to Kissimmee, Florida, to discuss the case of Madeline Soto, a 13-year-old girl who had her whole life ahead of her. That as until her mother's ex-boyfriend, Stephan Sterns, strangled her, drove to McDonald's with her body, and then discarded Madeline in a wooded area. But what was found on Stephan's electronic devices proved that he'd been victimizing poor Madeline for years...

This week, Drewby and Yergy head back to Wisconsin to discuss the case of Alexavier Pedrin, a little boy who has yet to receive justice, and who should still be here with us today. His stepmother, Josie Dikeman, stands accused of causing the injuries that lead to little Alexavier's death.

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Florida to discuss the case of Joel Parks, a 30-year-old disabled man who was thriving in his community. That was until his grandmother, 87-year-old Lillian Parks, decided that Joel was better off dead than alive... all because he was disabled.

In January of 2022, a shocking case out of New Mexico stunned the nation. Surveillance cameras captured 18-year-old Alexis Avila tossing her newborn baby into a dumpster... alone, wrapped in a dirty towel, and left for dead. The footage went viral, sparking outrage, heartbreak, and fierce debates about teen pregnancy, mental health, and justice. Miraculously, the infant was later found alive by chance, but the story of how this happened, and what came next, would haunt an entire community.

Today, we’re diving deep into the disturbing case of Alexis Avila: the night she abandoned her child, the trial that followed, and the questions that remain about accountability and survival.

She was born into wealth, luxury, and power… But behind the diamonds and designer clothes lurked something truly sinister. Ghislaine Maxwell wasn’t just Epstein’s confidante... She was his enabler, his hunter, and his partner in one of the darkest sex trafficking rings in modern history.

In this video, we expose the chilling double life of the so-called “socialite of sin.” From high-society parties to private jets, Maxwell used her charm, influence, and money to lure vulnerable girls into Epstein’s web of abuse. She wasn’t just an accomplice... She was a predator hiding in plain sight.

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.

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Arizona, to discuss the case of Melony Rose Granados, a young girl who lived with her mother, grandmother, and 4 other siblings in a small townhome in Tempe. Melony was born with myoclonic atonic epilepsy and was developmentally delayed. It's said that she had the mental capacity of a 3-year-old. However, when her grandmother, 55-year-old Virginia Lujan couldn't handle Melony's special needs, rather than reach out for help, she allegedly caged her granddaughter... and let her slowly die in her own filth.
