The Case of James Dunklee Cruz
This week, Drewby and Yergy head back to New Mexico to discuss the horrifying case of James Dunklee Cruz. James was an adorable little boy who lost his life because CPS failed him repeatedly. Child Services in New Mexico ignored 13 different reports of abuse in his home. In the end, poor James' cause of death was blunt head and torso trauma, caused by multiple fatal blows involving different parts of the body.

The Case of Heaven Waktins
This week, Yergy and Drewby head to both Minnesota and Virginia to discuss the case of Heaven Watkins, a young autistic girl with cerebral palsy who was killed by her mother, Latoya Monique Smith, and her new boyfriend, Demont Harris. Even more infuriating than the fact that this beautiful little girl was killed, is the fact that Demont was being paid by the state of Virginia to care for her - but he didn't. He did the exact opposite of that.

The Case of Omaree Varela
This week, Drewby and Yergy head back to Albuquerque to discuss the case of Omaree Varela, a beautiful little boy who was abused by both his mother, Synthia Varela, and his stepfather, Steve Casaus - who was a violent criminal. Things came to a head on December 27th, 2013, when Synthia became so upset with Omaree that she literally kicked him to death. Much like many of the cases we've discussed on this channel, CPS and local authorities were very much involved in the family's life, and failed in their duty to protect Omaree.

The Case of Shaylyn Ammerman
This week, Drewby and Yergy discuss the tragic case of 22-month-old Shaylyn Ammerman, a beautiful toddler who lived in a house with her extended family in Bloomington, Indiana. On March 24th, 2016, Shaylyn was found to be missing from the bed located in the family's living room. Kyler Parker, an acquaintance of the Ammerman family, was arrested and soon confessed to raping and murdering the toddler before discarding her body in a wooded area. However, what was thought to be an open and shut case, soon became a lot more complicated with shocking allegations came out about the witnesses in the Ammerman home...

The Case of Khaleesi Cuthriell
This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Virginia to discuss the tragic case of Khaleesi Cuthriell, and adorable little girl who didn't have a chance to grow up. After being placed in the custody of a con-artist and her 29 time felon boyfriend, Khaleesi's appearance quickly began changing for the worse in pictures shared on social media. As of the date of this recording in 2024, Khaleesi is still missing and presumed dead, and is thought to be among the rubbish in a 90 thousand cubic acre landfill.

The Case of Nefertiti Harris
This week, Drewby and Yergy head back to Syracuse, New York, to discuss the case of Nefertiti Diamond Harris, a beautiful little girl who was placed in the custody of her loving godmother, Niosha Smith, after her mother, Latasha Mott, was unable to care for her. Nefertiti, who Niosha called "Tuti," thrived in her godmother's care. Unfortunately, she was returned to her mother when she was just just shy of 2 years old. Like many of the children that we've discussed on this channel, CPS failed to intervene when Nefertiti was singled out for abuse, and during the Spring of 2024, the little girl was found buried in a shallow grave in a wooded area near a baseball field.

The Case of Christian Choate
This week, Drewby and Yergy head out to Gary, Indiana, to discuss the case of Christian Choate, a beautiful little boy who was locked inside a dog crate by his father and stepfather, who also ordered his older sister to act as his jailer. Christian was kept in that dog crate for about a year until he was ultimately beaten to death.
