This week, Yergy and Drewby discuss Operation Bada Bing, a child exploitation bust in Vermont that netted 8 local men - but what the police found on a nurse's computer shocked even the most seasoned authorities and launched an international manhunt.

To report online exploitation of children, use the electronic Cyber Tip Line at https://report.cybertip.org/ or call 1-800-843-5678

Vin and Sori are one of the leading music review channels, but did you know Vin used to be our boss? He was present as a supervisor and later an operations manager at Affiliated Computer Services during the Donna Paradis case and the Christiana Fesmire case respectively. Watch until the end to get the full behind the scenes of what went on at our call center during these times.

This is the third and final week we unpack the story of Christiana Fesmire in podcast format. We will conclude the story surrounding the murder, the arrest that ultimately took place, and the following controversy. Out of every case that happened in our hometown of Lewiston, ME, this is the one that very few want to talk about and the second one to happen at Drewby and Yergy's former workplace of Affiliated Computer Services, commonly referred to as ACS and formally known as Livebridge. Putting this one together took several months worth of research. We hope that by the end of this we'll have done Christiana justice.
