The Misery Machine

The Misery Machine

There’s a problem with True Crime. Creators idolize perpetrators, shame victims, or are completely checked out on cases while they focus on other things. However, we can’t forget there are victims who lost their lives and families who are still grieving to this day. Furthermore, many True Crime outlets spend their time focusing on themselves or rambling, instead of getting right to the facts of the case. We hear you, this is frustrating. The Misery Machine focuses on cases the media fails to give proper attention to. We want to help give those a voice that never got to have one, to begin with. We also cover aspects of cases that other podcasts might look the other way on, and the way that these cases impact their communities for generations. It’s not enough to simply cover a case, our platform must be used to make a difference.

The Case of Athena Strand

The Case of Athena Strand

A quiet Texas community was shattered in December 2022 when 7-year-old Athena Strand vanished from her driveway. What began as a desperate search for a missing child soon spiraled into a nightmare when the truth came to light. Behind her disappearance was a shocking betrayal of trust, a crime that stunned the nation with its cruelty and senselessness. Today, we’re diving into the heartbreaking case of Athena Strand... A story of innocence stolen, and the devastating aftermath left behind.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://edition.cnn.com/2022/12/03/us/athena-strand-kidnapping-death-man-arrested  https://www.missinginillinois.org/post/athena-presley-monroe-strand-7-december-2-2022-paradise-texas https://www.fox4news.com/news/what-does-an-athena-alert-mean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9wTHj7-mxE  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmb_7VNC53E  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sj3kpeR4Y4o&t=12s https://people.com/crime/driver-accused-killing-athena-strand-charged-with-child-sexual-assault/ https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/remember-athena-strand-mothers-plea-at-vigil-for-7-year-old-killed-in-wise-county/3142531/ https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/crime/athena-strand-timeline-latest-about-missing-7-year-old/287-dac7e636-74bc-4f45-ade0-230aea9f74f0 https://www.facebook.com/cnn/posts/an-investigation-determined-that-tanner-lynn-horner-allegedly-sexually-assaulted/10163280251026509  https://www.bryanfagan.com/blog/2024/02/the-murder-of-athena-from-disappearance-to-heartbreaking-resolution https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/crime/article292417704.html#storylink=cpy https://www.fox4news.com/news/athena-strands-tanner-horner-murder-trial-movedhttps://www.wfaa.com/article/news/crime/tanner-horner-murder-trial-athena-strand-venue-tarrant-county/287-7e598837-0e47-47d9-bbd4-33f5f0698e47 https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/crime/trail-date-pushed-back-for-tanner-horner-accused-of-kidnapping-murdering-7-year-old-athena-strand/287-3d7a4b19-bc9e-4d0a-8223-3a3edef1ec04 https://www.wfaa.com/video/news/local/athena-strand-funeral-service-7-year-old-included-custom-pink-casket-favorite-disney-songs/287-74204a18-f9b8-4437-9e25-93a8046b4029 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Ip285hcJI&t=1s https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/tanner-horner-athena-strand-case-indicted-on-capital-murder-charges/287-01708fc7-3332-4035-8ae6-86aedb842311 https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/athena-strand-missing-7-year-old-girl-found-in-wise-county https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/athena-strand-tanner-horner-wise-county-murder-b2239323.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up9NUXqyguc&t=13s https://www.bryanfagan.com/blog/2024/02/the-murder-of-athena-from-disappearance-to-heartbreaking-resolution/https://www.wbap.com/trial-delayed-for-man-accused-of-kidnapping-murdering-7-year-old-athena-strand-2/https://www.fox4news.com/news/athena-strand-tanner-horner-court-appearance?https://www.fox4news.com/news/athena-strand-tanner-horner-murder https://abc13.com/post/athena-strand-update-case-killer-tanner-horner-death-penalty/12868794/ https://newsroom.fedex.com/fedex-statement-regarding-athena-strandhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/athena-strand-maitlyn-gandy-tanner-horner-texas-b2238415.htmlhttps://lawandcrime.com/crime/fedex-driver-strangled-7-year-old-girl-with-his-bare-hands-in-the-back-of-delivery-van-after-attempts-to-break-her-neck-failed-affidavit/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/athena-strand-autopsy-report-fedex-driver-kidnapping-b2240376.html

The Case of Madeline Soto

The Case of Madeline Soto

This week, Drewby and Yergy head down to Kissimmee, Florida, to discuss the case of Madeline Soto, a 13-year-old girl who had her whole life ahead of her. That as until her mother's ex-boyfriend, Stephan Sterns, strangled her, drove to McDonald's with her body, and then discarded Madeline in a wooded area. But what was found on Stephan's electronic devices proved that he'd been victimizing poor Madeline for years...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.courttv.com/title/madeline-soto-murder-court-tv-discusses-cameras-at-apartment-complexhttps://www.fox35orlando.com/news/my-heart-aches-knowing-you-will-be-13-forever-family-of-maddie-soto-speakshttps://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2025/03/01/its-been-1-year-since-madeline-sotos-body-was-found-heres-the-timeline-of-her-case/?utmhttps://www.fox35orlando.com/news/madeline-soto-new-police-interviews-stephan-Stephan-jennifer-soto-from-hours-after-teen-went-missinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKqkIVYRcmwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqcDwHOm0eUhttps://www.youtube.com/live/W54fZ6-77mohttps://www.wesh.com/article/madeline-soto-mother-stephan-Stephan-documents/61068785https://www.wesh.com/article/new-documents-detail-abuse-madeline-soto-stephan-Stephan/61089536https://gavinfish.com/blog/2024/06/19/friends-and-teachers-highlight-red-flags-in-madeline-soto-case-39109/?utmhttps://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/news/2024/08/29/orange-county-medical-examiner-says-madeline-soto-was-strangled-to-death#:~:text=Medical%20Examiner%20says%20Madeline%20Soto%20was%20strangled%20to%20deathhttps://x.com/Network4Missing/status/1763741606996320590?lang=ar-x-fm&utmhttps://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/FLCIKISS/bulletins/3901dfdhttps://ground.news/article/madeline-soto-case-new-documents-reveal-the-victim-showed-signs-of-abusehttps://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2024/05/16/abnormal-security-video-google-drive-led-to-stephan-Stephan-arrest-in-madeline-soto-case-documents-showhttps://www.courttv.com/news/police-stephan-Stephan-sexually-abused-madeline-soto-for-yearshttps://www.fox35orlando.com/news/stephan-Stephan-sentenced-maddie-soto-remarkshttps://www.fox35orlando.com/news/new-details-released-death-madeline-soto-one-year-since-initial-reporthttps://www.youtube.com/live/W54fZ6-77mohttps://audioboom.com/posts/8566104-how-did-jen-soto-not-see-the-signs-of-maddie-soto-s-abuse-at-the-hands-of-stephan-sternshttps://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2024/03/02/the-sweetest-person-candlelit-vigil-held-for-madeline-soto-after-body-foundhttps://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2024/09/19/new-video-shows-detectives-questioning-stephan-Stephan-after-disappearance-of-madeline-sotohttps://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2025/07/21/stephan-sterns-man-accused-of-killing-13-year-old-madeline-soto-expected-to-enter-new-pleahttps://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/news/2024/04/14/vigil-held-for-madeline-soto-near-body-discovery-sitehttps://www.fox35orlando.com/news/florida-osceola-county-madeline-soto-case-remembering-teen-old-one-year-later-accused-killer-prepares-trialhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XHSzyvAbrohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0qkOi_JADs&t=30shttps://www.wesh.com/article/vigil-madeline-soto-osceola-county/60488839https://www.wesh.com/article/madeline-sotos-sexual-abuse-not-evil-new-docs-show/61947675?utm_https://www.clickorlando.com/news/investigators/2024/09/10/a-closer-look-at-madeline-sotos-home-and-what-investigators-found-therehttps://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/search-missing-florida-13-year-old-ongoing-mothers-boyfriend-arrested-rcna141157

The Case of Alexis Avila

The Case of Alexis Avila

In January of 2022, a shocking case out of New Mexico stunned the nation. Surveillance cameras captured 18-year-old Alexis Avila tossing her newborn baby into a dumpster... alone, wrapped in a dirty towel, and left for dead. The footage went viral, sparking outrage, heartbreak, and fierce debates about teen pregnancy, mental health, and justice. Miraculously, the infant was later found alive by chance, but the story of how this happened, and what came next, would haunt an entire community. Today, we’re diving deep into the disturbing case of Alexis Avila: the night she abandoned her child, the trial that followed, and the questions that remain about accountability and survival.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://people.com/crime/mother-who-threw-baby-new-mexico-dumpster-sentenced/https://www.courttv.com/news/alexis-avila-to-be-released-from-prison-pending-appeal/#:~:text=Avila%20was%2018%20when%20she,35%2C%20survived%20the%20incidenthttps://www.koat.com/article/hobbs-new-mexico-alexis-throwing-baby-dumpster-verdict/43754813#:~:text=Police%20said%20a%20group%20of,until%20police%20and%20paramedics%20arrivedhttps://www.kob.com/archive/hobbs-police-group-of-3-people-found-newborn-baby-alive-in-dumpster/https://www.fox13news.com/news/new-mexico-woman-defends-teen-daughter-accused-of-throwing-baby-in-dumpsterhttps://www.krqe.com/news/new-mexico/teen-father-of-baby-thrown-in-dumpster-releases-statement/https://www.hobbsnews.com/avila-released-from-prison-in-baby-in-dumpster-case/#:~:text=%E2%80%A2%20No%20Weaponshttps://www.kcbd.com/2023/05/01/alexis-avila-speaks-after-receiving-16-years-throwing-newborn-dumpster/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/alexis-avila-sentenced-prison-tossing-newborn-baby-trash-dumpster-new-mexico/#:~:text=Jurors%20convicted%C2%A0Alexis%20Avila%2C%2019%2C%20of,health%20disorder%20played%20a%20rolehttps://www.yahoo.com/news/mexico-supreme-court-consider-inmates-225958935.htmlhttps://www.yahoo.com/news/state-supreme-court-rule-hobbs-021506740.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ps3DP_GztIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFQRfYfYBfchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7acSLb4V4hw

The Case of Ghislaine Maxwell

The Case of Ghislaine Maxwell

She was born into wealth, luxury, and power… But behind the diamonds and designer clothes lurked something truly sinister. Ghislaine Maxwell wasn’t just Epstein’s confidante... She was his enabler, his hunter, and his partner in one of the darkest sex trafficking rings in modern history.In this video, we expose the chilling double life of the so-called “socialite of sin.” From high-society parties to private jets, Maxwell used her charm, influence, and money to lure vulnerable girls into Epstein’s web of abuse. She wasn’t just an accomplice... She was a predator hiding in plain sight.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.facebook.com/victimsrefusesilence/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Giuffrehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar-a-Lagohttps://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53268218https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/07/the-fall-of-ghislaine-maxwellhttps://www.courtlistener.com/https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/article221404845.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/02/nyregion/ghislaine-maxwell-arrested.htmlhttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey-epstein-little-st-james-island/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/epstein-island-jeffrey-sex-crimes-b1851226.htmlhttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-05-03/epstein-s-private-islands-in-virgin-islands-sell-for-60-millionhttps://www.reuters.com/legal/ghislaine-maxwell-appeals-conviction-sentence-sex-trafficking-case-2023-07-11/https://people.com/virginia-giuffre-family-speaks-out-about-her-suicide-at-41-exclusive-11722711https://www.instagram.com/p/DH0vvDKzDvu/https://www.speakoutactreclaim.org/https://nypost.com/2025/04/26/world-news/jeffrey-epstein-victim-virginia-giuffre-wrote-she-was-not-suicidal/https://x.com/VRSVirginiahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yURAdqdvb0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLBje7Fiwv4“Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich” (Netflix, 2020)“Surviving Jeffrey Epstein” (Lifetime, 2020)“House of Maxwell” (BBC documentary series, 2022)“Fall: The Mystery of Robert Maxwell” by John Preston

The Case of Melony Rose Granados

The Case of Melony Rose Granados

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Arizona, to discuss the case of Melony Rose Granados, a young girl who lived with her mother, grandmother, and 4 other siblings in a small townhome in Tempe. Melony was born with myoclonic atonic epilepsy and was developmentally delayed. It's said that she had the mental capacity of a 3-year-old. However, when her grandmother, 55-year-old Virginia Lujan couldn't handle Melony's special needs, rather than reach out for help, she allegedly caged her granddaughter... and let her slowly die in her own filth.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.thelancet.com/journals/laneur/article/PIIS1474-4422(25)00032-8/abstracthttps://www.google.com/search?q=myoclonic+atonic+epilepsy&rlz=1C1VIQF_enUS1084US1084&oq=Myoclonic+atonic+epilepsy&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgAEAAYgAQyBwgAEAAYgAQyBwgBEAAYgAQyBwgCEAAYgAQyCAgDEAAYFhgeMggIBBAAGBYYHjIICAUQABgWGB4yCAgGEAAYFhgeMggIBxAAGBYYHjIICAgQABgWGB4yCAgJEAAYFhge0gEHNDg5ajBqNKgCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8https://disability-memorial.org/melony-granadoshttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/grandmother-charged-in-disabled-teen-s-death-after-13-year-old-was-kept-in-a-cage/ar-AA1xRy0Shttps://scallywagandvagabond.com/2025/01/13-year-old-az-girl-kept-in-cage-grandmother-mom-virginia-lujan-jami-hodges-arrested-after-she-dies/?fbclid=IwY2xjawL7HxRleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHi4-tTm-OgLauTMS7kCGwaUTb2kZTLIOyDpvt2QpOUDmm7GhbhhekRrK8WnU_aem_AoheXDqiBgIVeZ-DmFOU2Qhttps://www.google.com/maps/place/E+Carter+Dr+%26+S+Mill+Ave,+Tempe,+AZ+85282/@33.3838971,-111.942326,17.53z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x872b061d59afd5fb:0x1494c8328ce3461!8m2!3d33.3832805!4d-111.9394486!16s%2Fg%2F11f342f7ql?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDczMC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3Dhttps://www.fresnobee.com/news/nation-world/national/article299035885.htmlhttps://www.tempe.gov/Home/Components/News/News/18132/1546https://www.facebook.com/jami1416https://www.facebook.com/jami.hodges.5/https://littlethings.com/lifestyle/grandmother-charged-disabled-teens-death-cage-arizonahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwWgscF8IYAhttps://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/tempe/2025/01/25/tempe-girl-13-died-grandmother-is-now-a-suspect-here-is-what-we-know/77931211007/https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/tempe/2025/01/25/tempe-girl-13-died-grandmother-is-now-a-suspect-here-is-what-we-know/77931211007/https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFMQ6VuNYkd/https://www.facebook.com/groups/661671761602462/posts/1241884413581191/https://www.tempenews.com/news/tempe-grandmother-indicted-in-caged-teen-s-death/article_13835b46-e5aa-11ef-b858-2f2261e1da4c.htmlhttps://www.yahoo.com/news/grandmother-indicted-granddaughter-found-grossly-130329514.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAND4w6r7_1Viuz5CYtp0yRhiVvdSO82Lz9oWWxvWqKs4iqnUDNzOb9oaSCCCUrj6VUkZjnmlD_KyJ_MTm3msXAEF4dq9thmLcC94PoPJWuNeQ5WV2hWs18ILbDTdAFjD4L3kTVhulCnOQdFlWp301fZa3BRW5dSlwisddwNhuyEihttps://www.ahwatukee.com/news/police-probe-caged-tempe-teen-s-death/article_f51454fc-dd03-11ef-99af-0b87d1eb2efa.htmlhttps://maricopacountyattorney.org/DocumentCenter/View/3682/Virginia-Lujan-Indictmenthttps://maricopacountyattorney.org/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=1161https://www.the-sun.com/news/13372620/disabled-girl-abused-death-forced-live-makeshift-caged-bed/https://www.abc15.com/news/crime/mother-grandmother-arrested-in-connection-to-death-of-13-year-old-girlhttps://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/court-docs-reveal-new-details-deadly-tempe-child-abuse-case-crime-fileshttps://www.azleg.gov/ars/13/03612.htmhttps://maricopacountyattorney.org/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=1161
