  • The Case of Melony Rose Granados

    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.

  • The Case of Kendrick Lee

    This week, Drewby and Yergy head down to Houston, Texas, to discuss the case of Kendrick Lee, and adorable little boy who was beaten to death by his mother's new boyfriend, Brian Ward Coulter. However, our story doesn't stop there. Rather than calling the police, Kendrick's mother, Gloria Yvette Williams, decided to move out of the apartment all together, leaving behind three of her young sons.

  • The Case of The Cordell Family

    This week, Drewby and Yergy head down to Deming, New Mexico, to discuss a shocking case that not many people have heard about.

    This week, Drewby and Yergy discuss a case that spanned three states - Oklahoma, Indiana, and Colorado. Our story revolves around an adorable toddler named Oaklee Snow and her baby brother "CS," who were abducted by her mother Madison Marshall and her boyfriend, Roan Waters. The couple brought the children to a trap house in Indianapolis, where they proceed to go on a bender, abandon "CS," and then murder Oaklee. Soon after, they concealed her body in a dresser drawer in a derelict building in a nearby town.
