The Crimes of Todd Kohlhepp
It started with a missing couple, and ended with a discovery so disturbing it shocked even seasoned investigators. When police traced a cell phone signal to a remote property in South Carolina, they found a woman chained inside a shipping container. Her name was Kala Brown… and her rescue would unravel the horrifying double life of Todd Kohlhepp, a successful real estate agent who was secretly a serial killer. Today, we’re diving into the twisted case of the man who hid his murders behind a smiling sales pitch.Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachinePayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachineJoin Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1Instagram: miserymachinepodcastTwitter: misery_podcastDiscord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM#themiserymachine #podcast #truecrimeSource Materials:Sources are available upon request due to the fact that we had so many of them that it exceeded the amount of characters that Spotify allows.

The Case of Su’Layah Williams
This week, Drewby and Yergy discuss an incredibly heartbreaking and frustrating case out of Philly, and that's the case of Su’Layah Williams. Su'Layah was taken from her mother over a small Impetigo rash, and placed with a fake family member that filed a false report. That fake family member, Denaejah Harper, placed the little girl in the care of her girlfriend, Diamond Joyner, who kicked her to death.

The Case of Zainab Amin Ansari
In January 2018, the heart of Pakistan was shaken by the tragic death of a little girl. Seven-year-old Zainab Amin Ansari vanished while walking to her Qur’an class in her hometown of Kasur, Punjab. Five days later, her body was discovered in a garbage dump near Lahore. An autopsy revealed she had been brutally raped, tortured, and strangled. Her murder exposed deep failures in child protection, law enforcement, and societal safeguards, and ignited a nationwide outcry for justice. This is the story of Zainab, and the fight to ensure no child suffers the same fate.Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachinePayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachineJoin Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1Instagram: miserymachinepodcastTwitter: misery_podcastDiscord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM#themiserymachine #podcast #truecrimeSource Materials:https://herald.dawn.com/news/1154028#:~:text=Zainab%20wore%20two%20pairs%20of,aunt%E2%80%99s%20house%2C%20just%2050%20metreshttps://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-51852381https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-01-13/zainab-ansari-rape-murder-only-part-of-the-story/9323874https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-45885686https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Zainab_Ansarihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zainab_Alert_Billhttps://www.npr.org/2018/10/17/658065143/pakistan-executes-serial-killer-who-raped-and-murdered-7-year-old-zainab-ansarihttps://www.cnn.com/2018/01/12/asia/pakistan-zainab-notebook-intlhttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/2/17/kasur-rapist-murderer-sentenced-to-death-in-pakistanhttps://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/02/17/586767529/pakistan-zainab-ansaris-confessed-killer-sentenced-to-deathhttps://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-01-13/zainab-ansari-rape-murder-only-part-of-the-story/9323874https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/feb/17/zainab-ansari-pakistan-sentences-man-to-death-for-and-of-girl-7https://www.dawn.com/news/1439587https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/10/17/pakistan-executes-kasur-child-rapist-and-murdererhttps://time.com/5426780/pakistan-executes-zainab-ansari-killer/https://www.instagram.com/p/CMM6NoZpNyj/https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/186562908/zainab_amin-ansarihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cT5PDEW2zQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EHdupwk_xQhttps://x.com/Malala/status/951082012068188162

The Case of Ernie Ibarra
What started as a toxic marriage in East Texas would end in cold-blooded murder. When 28-year-old Samantha Wohlford’s husband, Ernie Ibarra, was found beaten and left for dead, police uncovered a shocking truth... This wasn’t a robbery gone wrong. It was a planned execution, carried out by four men at Samantha’s request. A failed YouTuber obsessed with attention, Samantha believed she could get away with murder and turn tragedy into fame. But the truth behind Ernie Ibarra’s death would prove darker... and far more twisted... than anyone could have imagined.Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachinePayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachineJoin Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1Instagram: miserymachinepodcastTwitter: misery_podcastDiscord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM#themiserymachine #podcast #truecrimeSource Materials:https://www.oxygen.com/snapped/crime-news/samantha-wohlford-has-husband-ernie-ibarra-kidnapped-killedhttps://thecinemaholic.com/ernest-ibarra-murder-who-killed-him-where-is-samantha-wohlford-now/https://www.oxygen.com/snapped/season-29/episode-4/samantha-wohlfordhttps://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/tx-court-of-appeals/1882479.htmlhttps://www.facebook.com/share/p/1C6HHmxPnu/https://www.easttexasjournal.net/2018/01/05/mindless-slaying-takes-father-bound-love-children-woman-wanted-deadhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1541854629437246/user/100000136942533https://thecinemaholic.com/ernest-ibarra-murder-who-killed-him-where-is-samantha-wohlford-now/https://www.batescoopersloanfuneralhome.com/obituary/2975610https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/142949357/ernest_lee-ibarrahttps://inmate.tdcj.texas.gov/InmateSearch/viewDetail.action?sid=50484959https://www.kltv.com/story/34941858/wife-sentenced-to-50-years-for-kidnapping-after-husbands-murder/https://www.kltv.com/story/36379996/titus-county-sheriff-wife-sentenced-to-99-years-for-husbands-murder/https://www.kltv.com/story/31716605/two-sentenced-to-50-years-in-2015-titus-county-kidnapping-murder/https://www.kltv.com/story/34015546/man-convicted-in-titus-county-kidnapping-murder-case/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XhoNG_yQSghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z59YQTL-Vg0&t=44shttps://americanmonsterpenpal.blogspot.com/2019/04/off-camera-samantha-nicole-wohlford.htmlhttps://law.justia.com/cases/texas/sixth-court-of-appeals/2020/06-19-00106-cr.htmlhttps://law.justia.com/cases/texas/sixth-court-of-appeals/2019/06-19-00083-cr.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/@simplymanic6075/videoshttps://www.tuko.co.ke/facts-lifehacks/celebrity-biographies/486662-ernie-ibarra-jr-kidnapping-death-samantha-wohlford-guilty/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100007615934961https://www.facebook.com/simply.manic6075
