The Case of Phoenix Sinclair

This week, Drewby and Yergy head north of the border to Manitoba, Canada, to discuss one of the most notorious CPS failures in the country's history, and that is the case of 5 year old Phoenix Sinclair. Phoenix was murdered by her mother, Samantha Kematch, and her stepfather, Karl "Wes" McKay, despite CPS receiving 13 complaints about the little girl being abused, starved, and neglected. Her death lead to what was known as the "Inquiry into the Circumstances Surrounding the Death of Phoenix Sinclair." It was one of the largest public inquiries ever held in Manitoba, examining the glaring holes in the child welfare system.
