The Case of Caterina Whitten
This week, Drewby and Yergy head to the Ozarks to discuss the case of Caterina Whitten, a 29-year-old woman living with Fraser syndrome, which left her blind. Caterina's father, David Whitten, adopted her from Russia as a child. He and his late wife adopted 6 disabled children and adults with an array of special needs over the years. However, when David's wife passed away, everything went to hell, and Caterina was left to die on a filthy bed where she was eaten by cockroaches.

The Case of Felecia Williams
This week, Drewby and Yergy head down to Tampa, Florida, to discuss the case of 9-year-old Felecia Nicole Williams. Felecia was a beautiful little girl who had her whole life ahead of her. Nicknamed "Sugar Plum," Felecia was a third grader at Edison Elementary School, an active member of Zion Temple Holiness Church (where she sang in the choir), and a member of the Jackson Heights Viking Cheer Squad. But all of this was shattered when her godmother, 23-year-old Eboni Alicia Wiley, delivered her into the hands of a known predator... her boyfriend, Granville "Trevor" Ritchie.Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachineJoin Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1Discord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM#themiserymachine #podcast #truecrimeSource Material:https://www.youtube.com/@10TampaBay/search?query=ritchie https://pubapps.fdc.myflorida.com/OffenderSearch/detail.aspx?Page=Detail&DCNumber=T85161&TypeSearch=AIhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/215470785/felecia-nicole-williamshttps://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/08/15/9-year-old-dead/14133193/https://www.the-sun.com/news/1460210/pedo-granville-ritchie-death-raping-strangling-girl-suitcase/amphttps://wflanews.iheart.com/alternate/amp/2019-09-19-physical-evidence-vs-blame-game-in-granville-ritchie-case/https://www.tampabay.com/news/crime/2019/09/25/jury-deliberates-murder-charge-against-granville-ritchie-in-death-of-girl-9/?outputType=amphttps://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/crime/grief-counselors-to-help-edison-elementary-classmates-teachers-of/2180428/?outputType=amphttps://www.tampabay.com/news/tampa/2020/09/11/granville-ritchie-who-murdered-9-year-old-tampa-girl-sentenced-to-death-by-judge/?outputType=amphttps://people.com/crime/man-murdered-9-year-old-girl-who-loved-animals-after-babysitter-left-her-with-him/https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/crime/granville-ritchie-sentenced-to-death-in-the-murder-rape-of-a-9-year-old-girl/67-3b45fbaf-0083-461d-a2c9-e79fd45e3718https://www.fox13news.com/news/granville-ritchie-sentenced-to-death-for-2014-rape-murder-of-9-year-old-felecia-williams.amphttps://www.abcactionnews.com/news/region-hillsborough/granville-ritchie-sentenced-to-death-for-rape-and-murder-of-9-year-old-felecia-williams?_amp=truehttps://www.tampabay.com/news/tampa/2020/12/18/six-years-later-75-days-in-jail-for-lies-about-tampa-girls-disappearance/?outputType=amphttps://www.newspapers.com/article/south-florida-sun-sentinel-a-12-0-decisi/162269166/?xid=637https://www.newspapers.com/article/tampa-bay-times-fla-supreme-court-uphol/162269030/?xid=637https://www.newspapers.com/image/602434635/https://www.newspapers.com/article/tampa-bay-times-star-witness-pleads-guil/162268164/?xid=637https://www.newspapers.com/image/575322960/?clipping_id=162263462https://www.newspapers.com/image/603853697/?clipping_id=162266570https://www.newspapers.com/article/tampa-bay-times-details-emerge-on-woman/162262438/?xid=637 https://www.newspapers.com/article/tampa-bay-times-trial-date-set-in-2014-d/162263897/?xid=637https://www.newspapers.com/article/tampa-bay-times-trial-date-set-in-2014-d/162264312/?xid=637https://www.newspapers.com/article/tampa-bay-times-new-details-about-suspec/163845300/?xid=637https://www.newspapers.com/article/tampa-bay-times-new-details-about-suspec/163845406/?xid=637https://www.newspapers.com/article/tampa-bay-times-woman-moves-a-juror-to-t/162267195/?xid=637https://www.newspapers.com/article/tampa-bay-times-jury-death-for-ritchie/162267440/?xid=637https://www.newspapers.com/article/tampa-bay-times-seeking-justice-to-ease/162263653/?xid=637https://www.newspapers.com/article/tampa-bay-times-jury-set-on-fourth-day-o/162265440/?xid=637https://www.newspapers.com/article/tampa-bay-times-ritchies-ex-girlfriend/162266058/?xid=637https://morbidology.com/morbidology-the-podcast-119-felecia-williams/ https://www.itsthemysteryforme.com/episodes/felecia-williamshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGmyGLWAh60

The Case of Joshlin Smith
This week, Drewby and Yergy head to South Africa to discuss the case of Joshlin Smith, a beautiful little girl who live with her mother and siblings in a small one room shack in the village of Middelpos. But when Joshlin went missing on February 19th, 2024, her community was in shock and went out looking for her. But when rumor spread that her mother, Kelly, sold her to a "sangoma" or "witch" for her skin and eyes, that same community demanded swift justice be served. As of the date of this recording in 2025, Joshlin has never been found.

When asked why he did it, Joseph told police that he thought the kindergartener was going to "do jihad" on him.

The Case of Robert Beckowitz
This week, Drewby and Yergy travel back in time to 1982 Detroit to discuss two separate cases that rocked Motor City... Two cases with eerie similarities that happened just a month apart. However, it's the second case that sadly made headlines... but not for the reasons that it should have. It's a story drugs, betrayal, and a man named Robert who is just as much of a mystery in life as he was in death.

The Case of Gemma Hayter
This week, Drewby and Yergy head back over across the pond to Ramsey, UK, to discuss the case of Gemma Hayter, a 27-year-old disabled woman who was essentially let down by the powers that be. As such, poor Gemma ended up running with the wrong crowd... a crowd that didn't have her best interests at heart. After an evening at the pub, Gemma's "friends" turned on her, which led to her brutal assault and murder the following day. Due to the striking similarities in their two cases, Gemma Hayter's case has often been compared to that of Jennifer Daugherty's case here in the USA.

The Case of Heather Baynard
This week, Drewby and Yergy head to South Carolina to discuss the sad case of Heather Baynard, a 14-year-old girl living with spastic quadriplegia, a form of cerebral palsy. Due to her condition, her 21-year-old brother, Edward, became her State sponsored caretaker. But due to the pandemic, no one actually stopped into the Baynard home to make sure that Heather was actually being taken care of. So when her parents brought her to the emergency room and plunked her down like a "sack of potatoes" and it was clear to everyone that Heather had been dead for some time, there were of course, question as to how this vulnerable teenage girl was allowed to suffer and die in such a horrific manner.
