  • The Case of Macy Grace Ditty

    This week, Drewby and Yergy travel to Fayetteville, NC, to discuss the case of Macy Grace Ditty, an adorable little girl born to a narcissistic mother and a father who was away on deployment. When her mother, Jeanie, wasn't busy working out at the gym and cheating on her husband, she was allegedly beating Macy. When Macy ultimately succumbed to her injuries, Jeanie tried to pin the crime on her lover, Zachary Keefer. Zachary was cleared of all charges, including that of domestic violence against his ex-wife, Lisa. In all, Zachary served 44 months in jail for these crimes. And Jeanie? She is still free as of the time we recorded this episode, has a new baby, and is active on the dating apps. Jeanie is considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

  • The Case of Erica Green

    This week, Drewby and Yergy discuss the tragic case of Erica Green, or as she was more famously known, Precious Doe. Erica's mother, Michelle Johnson, and her new man, Harrell, murdered the little girl, decapitated her, and then disposed of her body in the woods. She was discovered by chance by authorities searching for a missing elderly man. Erica's identity was unknown for years, until the most unlikely source came forward... Harrell's own grandfather.

  • The Case of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom

    This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Tennessee to discuss the tragic case of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom, a lovely young couple from Knoxville that were kidnapped, tortured, sexually assaulted, and murdered. Four males and one female were arrested, charged, and convicted in the case. According to the Associated Press, some bloggers and media critics claimed that the national media ignored the murders because the victims were white while all five suspects were black. Most news reports came from local media and online news sites. Police Chief Sterling Owen IV said that there was no indication that the crimes were racially motivated. He said, "We have no evidence to support the notion that this was a race-based crime. We see this as a cold-blooded murder." However, some commentators disagreed, claiming that such a crime represented motives of racial hatred. The media circus that ensued overshadowed the senseless deaths of the two victims involved, Channon and Chris.

  • The Case of Marion Jester Montoya

    This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Lubbock, Texas, to discuss the case of Marion Jester Montoya, a sweet little girl who had the misfortune of being born to a mother, Veronica Weems, who didn't have her best interests at heart. After cheating on Marion's father, Emilio, with his friend, Trevor Rowe, the new "couple" move in together. Although Emilio made several reports to CPS about his daughter's welfare, they simply didn't listen - much like in many of the cases we cover. Things came to a head on January 7th, 2020, when Marion's mother didn't want the burden of watching her daughter. Instead, Trevor stuffed Marion into a backpack and brought her with him to his roofing job. She was later stuffed into the trunk of his car, where she later died.

  • The Case of Devon and Damon Routier

    This week, Drewby and Yergy head back down to Texas to discuss the Lonestar State's more notorious whodunnit, and that's the murder of Devon and Damon Routier. The boys lived in Rowlett, and affluent suburb of Dallas, with their parents, Darin and Darlie, and their younger brother, Drake. The family seemed to have everything, but underneath the façade, things had started to crumble financially, leading to tension in the home. On June 6, 1996, and intruder allegedly broke into the Routier home and stabbed Devon and Damon, killing them. Their mother, Darlie, was also injured during the attack. But soon, much like the family's financial situation, Darlie's story started to crumble...

  • The Case of Zachary Dutro Boggess

    This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Oregon to discuss the tragic case of Zachary Dutro Boggess Jr, a sweet little boy who never had a chance in his mother's presence. After leaving Hawai'i, Zachary's mother, Jessica Analani Dutro, took her kids to Oregon where she met and started a relationship with a man named Brian Cody Canady, with whom she'd have a child. But things were not well in the Dutro/Canady household. The family was in and out of homeless shelters, and Jessica was a strict disciplinarian, running her household like an army. Ultimately, Zachary was the target for both Jessica and Brian's ire, specifically because Jessica though Zachary, who was a toddler, was gay.

  • The Case of Grace Packer

    This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Pennsylvania to discuss the tragic case of Grace Packer, a disabled teenage girl who was living in the Keystone State with her adoptive mother, Sara Packer, and her boyfriend, Jacob Sullivan. What was supposed to be a fresh start for young Grace soon turned dark when she was reported missing, and some time later, hunters discovered a decaying torso off a country road. The limbs had been cut away... it was Grace. She'd been tied up, drugged, sexually assaulted, and strangled to death before being dismembered with the bow saw that Sara purchased.

  • The Case of Alex Woodworth

    This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, to discuss the case of Alexander Lehman Sidney Woodworth, known as Alex to his family and friends. Alex was an intelligent young man with a bright future. He graduated from Osceola High School in 2012 with excellent grades and went on to earn a bachelor's degree in philosophy and biology at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire in 2017. When he wasn't studying, Alex worked as a barista at Racy D'Lenes Coffee Lounge in downtown Eau Claire, and as a tutor on his college campus. He also taught a few philosophy classes at a local high school. Alex aspired to become a philosophy professor at the University of Oregon and had received an offer to study a masters in philosophy at the college.

     

    Alex did have a bright future ahead of him until he met Ezra McCandless in 2017. Ezra and her boyfriend, Jason, were regulars at Racy D'Lenes Coffee Lounge. Alex and Ezra grew close, and soon, engaged in an affair while Jason was away for two weeks taking part in military training. During this time, Ezra also had an affair with Jason's best friend, John Hansen. Shortly after, she called Jason and claimed John had assaulted her while she was drunk.

     

    Ezra continued her infidelity even after Jason's return from the military. However, he soon discovered her secret relationship with Alex.

    According to reports, Alex had a big heart and was manipulated by Ezra into keeping quiet about their affair. As a result, Jason subsequently ended his relationship with Ezra. Allegedly, she "had fire in her eyes" and was furious with Alex, who she believed had caused the breakup by telling Jason about their secret relationship. Around the same time, Alex was interviewed by police and told them Ezra said she willingly had an intimate affair with John. His statement caused the police to drop her case, which only intensified the anger Ezra felt toward Alex.

     

    In a desperate attempt to win Jason back, Ezra claimed that the, as she described them, “manipulative and vindictive men in her life” had tried to take her away from him, and that their influence was the reason she had cheated, not her own actions. Jason, unconvinced, kicked Ezra out of his apartment, and she moved back home to live with her family.

     

    On March 22, 2018, Ezra surprised her ex-boyfriend Jason by showing up unexpectedly at Racy's. Despite having sent Jason over 600 text messages the night before, she claimed she had not come to see him but to show Alex some journal entries she had written. In reality, she hoped to manipulate Alex into admitting he had lied about their affair, so Jason would consider taking her back.

     

    Ezra was recorded on the coffee shop's security camera, visibly agitated, after her plan to win Jason back failed. Alex had left work and headed back to his home. Ezra went after him in her car, and Jason followed her on his bike, feeling concerned for Alex's safety. Sadly, Jason's fears were correct...

  • The Case of Jessica Lunsford

    This week, Drewby and Yergy head down to Homosassa, Florida, to discuss the case of 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford, an adorable 3rd grader who lived in a neatly kept mobile home with her father and grandparents. However, little Jessica's idyllic life in the Sunshine State was rocked in the wee morning hours of February 24th, 2005, when her neighbor, 49-year-old sex offender, John Couey, who broke into her family home while drunk and high on crack. John lured the girl from her bed and to his sister's trailer that sat just 65 feet away. There, Jessica was sexually assaulted, exposed to cocaine, and held captive for days inside John's bedroom closet. Local police had multiple opportunities to rescue Jessica, but instead, they allowed John Couey to bury her alive in a series of trash bags right in front of their command center.
