The Story of Jennifer Lee Daugherty

Jennifer Lee Daugherty was born on November 8th, 1979, in Latrobe, Pennsylvania to parents Denise and Richard Daugherty. Jennifer’s parents ultimately divorced, with Denise remarrying a man named Bobby Murphy of Mount Pleasant. Jennifer grew up just an hour southeast of Pittsburgh, where her father ultimately relocated. She had two sisters, Joy and Jamie, and a stepbrother named Dave.

Although she never received a specific diagnosis, Jennifer had a developmental disability of some kind. She struggled with social cues and judgment and was frequently targeted by bullies as a child. This same bullying would follow her into adulthood. While at school, she was pushed around by the other girls and would have gum mashed into her hair.

Jennifer would often come home from school in tears. She once told her mother that she sometimes wished she could be, what she referred to as, a normal girl. Jennifer aspired to do the kinds of things that able-bodied people usually take for granted: to live on her own, belong to a community, have a job, get married, and have children.

By all accounts, Jennifer was sweet-natured and trusting; sometimes to a fault. When others were cruel, Jennifer would reason that they might be having a bad day and would try even harder to be kind to them. She would see the good in people above all else. Even though she was the target of some pretty nasty bullying, Jennifer was also quick to make friends due to her warm demeanor. According to her mother, Denise, “Jennifer was very easy-going. She liked to have fun. She was trusting. She made friends easily. She loved to dance and she loved to sing.”

She enjoyed helping to care for her nieces and nephew and loved working on vehicles with her uncle. She hoped that she might be a mechanic like him one day. Jennifer’s favorite foods included lasagna and cheesecake. She was a big fan of scary movies, college football, and wrestling.

In 2010 at the age of 30, Jennifer was on her way to achieving some of her aspirations. She very much wanted to live her life independently. For her, this meant moving out of her mother’s house. In order to facilitate this, Jennifer partook in living skills classes at a local community center called the West Place Clubhouse in Greensburg. Jennifer would often take the 20-minute bus ride from Mt. Pleasant to Greensburg, where she was training to become a mechanic, like her uncle. She would also make the trip with some regularity for dentist and counseling appointments.

According to their website, Clubhouses provide comprehensive and dynamic opportunities for persons living with severe mental illness to participate in housing, employment, education, and health and wellness initiatives that renew and reconnect them with mainstream society. Members play an active role in their own recovery and that of their peers by working alongside staff to organize and run programs.

Although a grown woman now, she still functioned at the emotional level of a 14-year-old girl. Her eyes still sparkled with a childlike wonder unlike those of her peers who had become hardened by the burdens of adulthood. And although Jennifer’s whimsical nature made her a beloved figure in her community, it also made her vulnerable to those who would wish to take advantage of her good-natured spark.

Due to this, Jennifer’s mother and sister were particularly protective of her. They wanted to shield her from outside influences that would seek to do her harm, but they also recognized that she was a grown woman who deserved all that adulthood had to offer.

Jennifer had recently told her family that she made a group of new friends at the West Place Clubhouse. Thrilled about the prospect of Jennifer expanding her network and building confidence, she had her family’s full support. However, these were exactly the types of people that they were trying to shield her from. The group consisted of Angela Marinucci, Ricky Smyrnes, Amber Meidinger, Melvin Knight, Peggy Miller, and Robert Masters Jr.

Born on January 12th, 1990, Amber Christine Meidinger met Melvin Knight at a homeless shelter in Washington state in January 2010. Melvin was born on October 27th, 1989 to a drug-addicted father who was imprisoned during the early years of his life. Melvin desperately wanted to be different from his father. Sadly, he developed lifelong learning and social problems after he fell out of a moving vehicle and hit his head at the age of 5. Amber and Melvin soon became a couple and decided to leave the state of Washington for a shot at a better life. The two moved to several different locations before settling in Greensburg, Pennsylvania.

Amber and Melvin met up with Ricky on February 8, 2010. At the time, Amber was pregnant with Melvin’s child, and the couple had been staying at a Greensburg-area hotel. Melvin and Ricky were already familiar with one another from a stint in jail. It should be noted that some publications claim that Amber and Ricky met in jail, but there are no sources confirming this. Even though the three didn’t really know each other that well, Ricky offered Amber and Melvin a place to stay at his apartment located at 428 North Pennsylvania Avenue in Greensburg.

On March 6th, 1986, Ricky Ven Edward Smyrnes was born to a drug-addicted Philadelphia sex worker and a Pittsburgh gang member. It’s also been stated in other publications that Ricky was actually the sex worker and gang member, but there are no sources confirming this either. Abandoned at birth, he was moved in and out of foster homes as a child and was treated for mental health disorders as early as age 4. He suffered harm and neglect until he was taken in by the Smyrnes family in North Huntingdon at age 10.

Ricky suffered sexual assault and physical harm from his adoptive father and his uncle. He had tried alcohol and an array of drugs by the age of 6. Ricky had been diagnosed with PTSD at the age of 8 and had undergone 103 therapy sessions by age 10. In addition, he was diagnosed as having as many as seven different personalities, and 15 total psychiatric issues. Ricky’s criminal history started off pretty early. In 1997, at the age of 11, he burglarized his neighbor's home and stole knives, guitars, coins, bullets, and cash. That same year, he sexually assaulted a woman in her basement.

Also staying at Ricky’s North Pennsylvania Avenue apartment was 17-year-old Angela Lynn Marinucci. Born July 14th, 1992, Angela was Ricky’s teenage girlfriend who had some challenges of her own. Angela suffered a head injury when she was hit by a truck in 2008, at the age of 15. The injury substantially altered her behavior and pushed her into a downward spiral. People who've experienced brain injury may experience changes in behavior and emotional state. These may include among others: Difficulties with self-control, risky behavior, verbal or physical outbursts, lack of empathy for others, and anger - among others. For Angela, being a teenager with a TBI proved to be an explosive combination.

Angela was the first member of the group to befriend Jennifer. The two met at the West Place Clubhouse and became fast friends. Despite their difference in age and polar opposite personalities, Jennifer and Angela would talk on the phone for hours. Through Angela, she met the rest of the friend group. Jennifer increasingly spent more time in Greensburg with her new friends and felt like she had found kindred spirits. They were all struggling with their own hardships, and in Jennifer’s opinion, were still able to make their way in the world. Also living in Ricky Smyrne’s apartment were Peggy Darlene Miller, born February 2nd, 1983, and Robert Loren Masters Jr, born December 22nd, 1973.

However, Angela began to notice that her boyfriend was taking a special interest in Jennifer, talking to her in a flirtatious manner. She also had allegedly overheard Ricky talking to Jennifer on the phone, proclaiming his love for her. Ricky would later confess that he had loved Jennifer, and she loved him too. Allegedly, Jennifer rode the bus to his apartment to meet with him in secret and carry on an intimate affair while Angela was out. However, Angela had some idea of what was going on and hatched a plan to get back at her friend. After conspiring with others in the group, she invited Jennifer to a sleepover, and Jennifer excitedly agreed. However, fun and games were not what Angela had in mind.

On February 10th, 2010, Jennifer told her parents that she planned on going to her friend’s apartment in Greensburg for a sleepover that day. As everyone lived with Ricky, and she wasn’t about to tell her parents that she was staying at a guy’s place, she claimed it was her friend Peggy’s apartment. This also worked out, as she’d be traveling in that direction anyway for a scheduled appointment. Seeing this as another opportunity to assert her independence, her family was all for it.

By the time Jennifer was getting ready to leave, her mother was already at work. So she left a handwritten note with Peggy’s contact information in case of emergency, and a thoughtful message that read, I hope that you will have a good day at work, and I also love you very much. Her stepfather, Bobby, dropped her off at the bus stop. Jennifer kissed him on the cheek before saying her final goodbyes. The last message she posted to her MySpace and Twitter accounts was, "This is my time to make a new start for myself, and making new friends and not being afraid of anything."

Upon arriving in Greensburg, she was met by Amber, Melvin, and Ricky. who took her back to their green two-story apartment building just a half mile away. There, she was greeted by the remaining members of the group, Angela, Peggy, and Robert. Almost as soon as Jennifer entered the apartment, things took a horrific turn. It should be noted that many publications have covered Jennifer’s story in great detail, with slightly different accounts of what happened over the next 36 hours. With that being said, I don’t know if anyone can correctly convey the level of depravity that took place next.

Upon entering the apartment, the group began taunting Jennifer, which would have been terribly confusing as these were supposed to be her friends. They rummaged through her purse and took her money, gift cards, and cell phone, after which they ruined it by pouring fluids all over the remaining contents.

Then things turned physical. Amber and Angela took turns beating Jennifer with a towel bar, crutches, a 2-liter bottle full of lemonade, and a vacuum cleaner hose. All the while, the helpless woman had no idea why this was happening to her. To add insult to injury, the group held her down and repeatedly stomped on her chest and stomach.

They also forced Jennifer to consume an array of liquids such as vegetable oil, laundry detergent, urine, and nail polish. She was also made to eat feces, which was forced down her throat. These same substances were poured over her head, along with porridge oats and spices. She had begged her friends to stop because she was in pain and her eyes were burning, but the group refused to yield.

Jennifer tried to fight back and managed to punch Amber in the stomach. Amber, as we mentioned earlier, was pregnant at the time. Her earnest attempt at defending herself against her attackers only escalated matters. Jennifer was bound with strings of Christmas lights so that she no longer could fight back. Unable to move, the group humiliated Jennifer further by shaving her head bald and painting her face with nail polish.

If this wasn’t already enough, Melvin decided that he needed to take things up a notch by stripping Jennifer of all of her clothing, gagging her, and sexually assaulting her while the others watched and taunted her further. After going through unimaginable suffering, she was told to take a shower because she smelled bad.

When the group grew bored of tormenting Jennifer the following morning, they decided that the only option was to kill her. They couldn’t let her go home and run the risk of her reporting what had transpired in Ricky’s apartment. The group took a vote on the matter, and all six agreed that Jennifer had to die. As such, they forced the scared woman to write a page-long note that implied that she had decided to take her own life. The note, written in cursive, read:
"I haven’t been happy for a while and I also feel like that everybody would be better without me on this earth. I will always love my mom and stepdad no matter what and I will always love the rest of my family also. My nieces and nephew would be lucky to have a better aunt than me. I am done with life. Goodbye. - Jennifer"

Jennifer was given sleeping pills and antibiotics, and she begged to be allowed to return home, but it was all for naught. Jennifer was stabbed in the chest and lungs by Melvin Knight. According to Melvin, “Ricky got a knife and told me to stab her…and then I stabbed her in the chest three times.” However, Jennifer managed to survive the attack. Upon noticing this, Ricky allegedly exclaimed, “Dang, this bitch is still alive.” Ricky then grabbed the knife and slit Jennifer’s wrist.

Still clinging to life, the men then choked Jennifer with the Christmas lights that she had been bound by. In a final act of depravity, the group decorated Jennifer's dead body to look like a Christmas Tree. Allegedly, Angela became enraged because the lights weren’t flashing. As such, she decided that they needed to dump her body. Now, let that sink in for a second. What if the lights had worked? Were they going to keep Jennifer on display in their home for a time? Although that might seem macabre, after all that Jennifer endured, nothing would surprise me.

After removing the lights and stuffing the note in Jennifer’s back pocket, the group, who would soon become known as The Greensburg Six, stuffed her body inside of a trash can. It was left under a truck in the snow-covered parking lot of Greensburg Salem Middle School located just a block away. A truck driver noticed the trash can in the parking lot while driving and decided to investigate further. In doing so, he discovered Jennifer’s body inside. Although it is a tragedy for anyone to come across such a horrific scene, the silver lining is that an adult managed to find Jennifer rather than a child on their way to school. It wasn’t long before police realized who had committed such heinous acts upon Jennifer. All were arrested and quickly began to talk. Jennifer’s mother had to identify her body.

At the start of the trial on November 3, 2010, the prosecution sought the death penalty for Ricky, Melvin, and Amber. As Angela was 17 years old at the time, she was ineligible. At trial, forensic pathologist and

The Case of Dr. Priyanka Reddy AKA The Hyderabad Nirbhaya

The Case of Dr. Priyanka Reddy AKA The Hyderabad Nirbhaya

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Hyderabad, India, to discuss the case of Dr. Priyanka Reddy, otherwise known as "Disha" and "Hyderabad Nirbhaya" in the media. Dr. Reddy was a veterinarian living in the southern Indiana city, who met a brutal fate on November 27th, 2019. After leaving her scooter at a toll plaza and taking a taxi into the city, she was ambushed by 4 drunk men who'd flattened one of her tires. The 4 mean took turns assaulting her, before eventually smothering her to death, and burning her body beneath an underpass miles away. To add insult to injury, what happened next to the 4 men accused of her assault and murder actually stole headlines around India.

The Case of Taylen Mosley

The Case of Taylen Mosley

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to St. Petersburg, Florida, to discuss the case of Taylen Mosley and his mother, Pashun Jeffery. After some sort of dispute after his 21st birthday party, Taylen's father, Thomas, stabbed Pashun in excess of 100 time in her back and head, leaving her to die in her apartment. Taylen, however, was nowhere to be found. When he was eventually located a few days later, it was the last place anyone expected...

The Case of the Criado Family Massacre

The Case of the Criado Family Massacre

This week, Drewby and Yergy head west to Medford, Oregon to discuss the case of the Criado family. This story draws a lot of parallels to many other family annihilator cases we've seen where Dad is the assailant... He begins to lose control, snaps, and murders his entire family. We saw this most recently with Rowan Baxter, who murdered his estranged wife, Hannah, and their four kids. This story, sadly, is no different. These are the stories of Tabasha, Elijah, Isaac, Andrew, and Aurora Criado.  Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachine PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachine Join Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1 Instagram: miserymachinepodcast Twitter: misery_podcast Discord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM #themiserymachine #podcast #truecrime Source Material: https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/2013/04/medford_man_who_killed_family.html https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ore-suspect-in-killing-of-wife-four-kids-was-convicted-molester/ https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/2011/08/grand_jury_will_hear_case_of_jordan_criado_accused_of_killing_wife_4_children_in_medford.html https://www.kgw.com/article/news/oregon-man-gets-life-for-killing-wife-4-children/283-71885065 https://www.firehouse.com/home/news/10921190/oregon-father-gets-life-for-arson-killing-children-wife https://www.deseret.com/2011/7/21/20205137/brother-slain-woman-knew-husband-was-sex-offender/ https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?&q=jordan+criado&&mid=733FD8332925353D8659733FD8332925353D8659&&FORM=VRDGAR https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?&q=jordan+criado&&mid=F33C91266BC3DFB6E9F2F33C91266BC3DFB6E9F2&&FORM=VRDGAR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOlcBlGdehM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6WRJmD7PBI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFLs1-G5aVE https://kbnd.com/kbnd-news/local-news-feed/9489 https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/2011/08/medford_man_accused_of_killing_family_arraigned_on_aggravated_murder_charges.html https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/2012/09/trial_date_postponed_for_man_a.html https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/2011/07/funeral_held_for_mom_4_children_who_died_in_medford_fire.html https://www.theoaklandpress.com/2011/07/20/video-shows-victim-smiling-hours-before-she-is-found-stabbed-with-her-4-young-children/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K15CtxYBxs https://www.krem.com/article/news/local/northwest/police-id-medford-dad-suspected-of-killing-mom-4-kids/169233127 https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/2011/07/babysitter_says_dead_medford_children_allegedly_killed_by_father_were_all_very_loving.html https://www.columbian.com/news/2013/mar/19/father-accepts-plea-deal-in-deaths/ https://www.columbian.com/news/2012/jul/15/battling-for-his-baby/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0AwhbgshvQ&list=PLA8fSe5gI2oX9FpylNAgS0cOX1yV9GLvc&index=3 https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/73683075/isaac-jordan-criado https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/73683067/elijah_jordan_criado https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/73683093/andrew_jordan_criado https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/73683106/aurora_elizabeth_criado https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/73679449/tabasha_rochelle-paige-criado https://www.facebook.com/search/posts/?q=%20paige-criado https://murderpedia.org/male.C/c/criado-jordan.htm
