The Misery Machine

Thank you all so much for your request - you asked, and we listened! This week, Yergy and Drewby take a trip south to Baltimore to review the case of Joe Metheny. Was Joe a brutal serial killer? Yes. Was he operating alone and being protected by people way more powerful than him? Find out. We also get to answer the question if he was actually serving up his victims in roast beef sandwiches to his coworkers.

By popular listener suggestion, this week, Drewby and Yergy revisit the tragic case of Junko Furuta. She would have turned 50 years old this year. If you see something, say something. Like the cases of Sylvia Likens, Shanda Sharer, Suzanne Capper, and Kitty Genovese, we need to end bystander apathy.
