The Case of Mary Anne Welch

This week, Drewby and Yergy head over to Grand Rapids, Michigan, to discuss the case of Mary Anne Welch, a beautiful baby girl born to a religious zealot by the name of Seth Welch, and his wife, Tatianna. When Seth found his daughter dead in her crib, he called his father, who is a lawyer, before calling 911. With regard to Mary Anne's death, Seth believed it to be God's will... the Lord giveth, the Lord taketh. Allegedly, Seth didn't bother to feed Mary Anne because she wasn't big or strong enough to help out on the farm. Due to his bizarre outlook on "survival of the fittest," he refused to bring her to see a doctor when she was on death's door.
