The Horrific Torture Killing of Kelly Anne Bates

This week, we go back to our roots in Lewiston, Maine, to discuss an extremely tragic case that occurred in the fall 2007 at Affiliated Computer Service - where Yergy and Drewby first met and worked for years. When Donna Paradis, a pregnant mother of two was offered an affordable used car from her coworker Richard Dwyer, the gesture seemed like a godsend. But this seemingly kind gesture soon turned into a nightmare that rocked the city of Lewiston, and Affiliated Computer Services to it's core.  A very special thank you to Levi for supporting our show as our highest tier patron!

This week, Drewby and Yergy discuss the tragic story of Elisa Izquierdo, a 6 year old girl that was failed by New York State's Child Protective Services after the tragic death of her loving father.

A year later, Drewby and Yergy revisit the killing of Abby Williams and Libby German in Delphi, Indiana - two young girls just out enjoying the Delphi Historic Trails. The case was made popular in part due to the fact that Libby German captured audio and video of her suspected murderer on her smartphone. This month, a new suspect has entered the case, 20 miles south in the town of Lafayette, Indiana. Will the victims soon have justice?

This week, Drewby and Yergy cover another listener suggestion (thank you Bec!) and travel 17 miles east of Vancouver to the Canadian city of Port Coquitlam, British Columbia for the horrific case of Robert "Willie" Pickton, a Canadian pig farmer and serial killer that terrorized the homeless for years. With the police denying the crimes were even happening, how did Pickton's reign ever come to an end? A very special thank you to Levi for supporting our show as our highest tier patron!
