The Misery Machine
About this episode

This week, Drewby and Yergy travel over to the Buckeye State to discuss the case of 14-year-old Kei'Mani Latigue, a beautiful little girl who mysteriously vanished from her grandmother's Toledo home. After her body was recovered from the second floor of an old, burnt out house, police zeroed in on one suspect... Her father, Darnell “Ogletree” Jones.
