In the quiet province of Alberta, Canada, a crime unfolded so disturbing it sounds more like a nightmare than reality. A man slaughtered a father, a defenseless toddler, and an elderly neighbor… but it didn’t stop there. In a scene that defies comprehension, he cut into the little girl, tore out her heart, and drank her blood. This was no ordinary murder... it was a descent into pure evil, a night of horror that left a community shaken and the world asking how something so monstrous could ever happen. Tonight, we uncover the story of Canada’s cannibal killer, Derek Saretzky.

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...

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.
