The Case of Peighton Geraw

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Winooksi, Vermont, to discuss the case of Peighton Geraw, a toddler who fell through the cracks of DCF. After presenting with unusual bruising, Vermont DCF Investigator John Salter paid a visit to the family home. At that time, little Peighton was possibly already dead, but the Investigator had no clue as he failed to conduct a physical inspection of the little boy. He was just 14 months and 25 days old. According to the autopsy findings, Peighton showed signs of shaken baby syndrome. He had multiple injuries to the top of his head, a forehead injury, neck injuries, damage to the retinal nerves in both eyes, and brain bleeding. He also had a lower leg fracture. His mother, Nytosha Marie Laforce, only served 4 years for his death.
