But after days of new interviews where Sahara and Travion put on dramatic, tear-filled performances, the truth finally came out.  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.youtube.com/watch?v=zlhT2V7muEk&t=319s  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oyQ0Wi5reo  https://abc13.com/maliyah-bass-houston-toddler-killed-brays-bayou-travion-thompson/10969508/  https://www.fox26houston.com/news/maliyah-bass-biological-father-reacts-to-mothers-arrest  https://www.facebook.com/rosalie.jimerson.7/videos/691506519558278  https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2020/08/23/2-year-old-child-missing-in-southwest-houston-hpd-says/   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM8nII0XF8o  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUZvGF3PRtE  https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/maliyah-bass-father-interview/285-b4519357-3019-4d13-b344-b97713920769 https://abc13.com/maliyah-bass-body-found-foul-play-suspected-missing-houston-toddler-girl/6409051/ https://www.sandraclarkfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Maliyah-Bass/#!/TributeWall https://khou.com/article/news/crime/maliyah-bass-cause-death-homicide-medical-examiner/285-fb4d920d-70d7-4ea1-89ed-755d50436d3e https://abc13.com/maliyah-bass-houston-toddler-killed-brays-bayou-travion-thompson/10969508/ https://abc13.com/maliyah-bass-toddler-found-dead-in-brays-bayou-missing-houston-girls-body/6822674/ https://www.lmtonline.com/news/houston-texas/article/Mother-pleads-guilty-Houston-Maliyah-Bass-16757592.php https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlhT2V7muEk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmZzxapheew https://www.facebook.com/sahara.ervin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96cKgWxrZVY https://www.fox26houston.com/video/858158 https://www.facebook.com/octavious.bass.1 https://www.fox26houston.com/news/mother-of-missing-2-year-old-fearing-the-worst-as-a-child-was-found-floating-in-brays-bayou https://www.fox26houston.com/video/854662 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDzITsOLRvQ&ab_channel=KPRC2Click2Houston https://www.fox26houston.com/video/843828 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64go-yx2Byc https://www.fox26houston.com/video/1302412

This week, Drewby and Yergy head out to Arroyo Grande, California to discuss the case of Elyse Pahler, a beautiful 15-year-old high school student who was killed by three boys that she thought were her friends. Jacob Delashmutt, Royce Casey, and Joseph Fiorella killed Elyse in what they described as a ritualistic sacrifice to Satan. They hoped that in turn, Satan would grant them the power to play guitar better.  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://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Elyse_Pahler https://www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/crime/article252167488.html  https://truecrimefanatic.com/murder-elyse-pahler-inspired-jennifers-body/ https://www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/crime/article279885934.html  https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/business/2001/01/23/did-death-metal-music-incite-murder/63cf6de7-fdd1-4067-a49f-9946f111e6a2/  https://tarrant.tx.networkofcare.org/kids/news-article-detail.aspx?id=50573  https://www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/crime/article39470649.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanic_panic  https://www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/crime/article39122823.html https://www.newspapers.com/article/santa-maria-times-elyse-pahler-missing-i/37716202/ https://www.newspapers.com/article/santa-maria-times/31413247/ https://www.newspapers.com/article/santa-maria-times/31413203/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KStjXgx7N0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4ku2Lrpl8o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7KZfjH2fYY&t=43s https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_ca/1993686 https://zeph456.medium.com/fans-blame-murder-on-music-7d6f3c1934c8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dwk8eqmR_xA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blast_beat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D18R4G6we_E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3qgwBkO99Y&t=14s

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to the Chicago suburb to discuss the case of 5-eayr-old AJ Freund, and adorable little boy who lost his life at the hands of his mother, Joann Cunningham, and his father, Andrew Freund - his mother's former divorce attorney. Both parents were addicted to drugs and lived in squalor, and two of Joann's ex-partners died of drug overdoses. On the evening of April 15th, 2019, AJ tried to hide a pair of underwear after he soiled himself. As punishment, AJ was forced into a cold shower with the water pointed right at his face, and was beaten to death. His autopsy later showed that he died from massive trauma to the skull and brain that was caused by multiple blunt force trauma to the head. His brain was so swollen part of it swelled into the spinal cord, crushing brain tissue.

This week, Drewby and Yergy head north to Canada to discuss the tragic case of Alex Radita, a young boy diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes as a toddler. The son of an immigrant family from Romania, Alex was denied his insulin and diabetic testing supplies. His parents, Emil and Rodica Radita, thought prayer would heal him and that he wasn't that sick. They outright refused to believe that Alex actually had diabetes. Of course, the prayer didn't work, and Alex succumbed to his illness at just 15 years old.

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, to discuss the case of Iliana "Lily" Peters, a 10-year old girl who was murdered and sexually assaulted on April 24th, 2022. Her murder gained significant attention and media coverage due to the ages of both the victim and the suspect. On April 26, 2022, Lily's cousin, 14-year old Carson Peters-Berger was arrested on charges of murder and sexual assault. Carson was originally publicly identified only by his initials "CPB". But the apple didn't fall far from the tree, in Carson's case. His own father, Adam Berger, was arrested after CSA material depicting very young girls were found on his phone.  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.wqow.com/news/crime/identity-theft-and-forgery-charges-filed-against-chippewa-falls-woman/article_87963ba7-8d5e-5648-b6dd-8e98276715ef.html https://lawandcrime.com/crime/police-arrest-juvenile-suspect-the-day-after-they-found-missing-10-year-old-wisconsin-girl-dead-near-walking-trail/ https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=299280875718901&set=pcb.299275195719469 https://www.fox9.com/news/chippewa-falls-girls-killing-rocks-small-wisconsin-town https://www.fox9.com/news/chippewa-falls-neighbors-remain-on-edge-after-lily-peters-death https://www.fox9.com/news/chippewa-falls-girl-killed-police-arrest-suspect-in-lily-peters-death https://www.fox9.com/news/14-year-old-charged-with-first-degree-murder-in-killing-of-lily-peters https://www.fox6now.com/news/chippewa-falls-homicide-juvenile-suspect-court https://www.fox9.com/news/lily-peters-murder-chippewa-county-coroner-reveals-preliminary-autopsy-results-in-10-year-olds-slaying https://www.fox9.com/news/killing-chippewa-falls-girl-charges-reveal-graphic-details-lily-peters-death https://people.com/crime/lily-peters-case-teen-suspect-allegedly-lured-her-off-trail-before-killing/ https://www.oxygen.com/crime-news/new-details-murder-of-lily-peters https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10762485/Reddit-post-helped-cops-crack-Lily-Peters-case-cousin-14-charged-murder.html https://www.weau.com/2022/05/06/new-details-released-lily-peters-homicide-case/ https://www.silive.com/crime-safety/2022/05/wisconsin-teen-recounted-luring-lily-peters-10-to-horrific-death-in-interview-with-chippewa-falls-police-report.html https://www.apg-wi.com/rice_lake_chronotype/news/charge-st-paul-man-threatens-family-involved-in-lily-peters-death/article_ec9f5c96-1250-55e8-b92f-454bb33b24f3.html https://www.startribune.com/bail-set-at-1-million-for-juvenile-accused-of-killing-10-year-old-girl-in-chippewa-falls/600168460/ https://www.nbc15.com/2022/06/15/grandmother-suspect-lily-peters-killing-asks-leniency/ https://scallywagandvagabond.com/2022/04/carson-peters-berger-father-adam-t-berger-eau-claire-wi-convicted-sex-offender/ https://meaww.com/adam-berger-dad-of-lily-peters-killer-cousin-cp-b-convicted-pedophile-described-him-best-of-me https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10757229/Boy-arrested-murder-Wisconsin-girl-Lily-Peters-10.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10763303/Teen-charged-rape-murder-Lily-Peters-son-convicted-pedophile.html https://vocal.media/criminal/liliana-lily-peter-s-14-year-old-cousin-carson-peters-berger-held-on-a-1-million-dollar-bond https://www.wqow.com/news/chippewa_falls_homicide/c-p--b-request-for-new-judge-approved-in-lily-peters-homicide-case/article_b3e287d8-3de6-11ed-8025-bff219151519.html https://www.wqow.com/news/chippewa_falls_homicide/judge-rules-on-what-evidence-can-be-shown-at-hearing-in-lily-peters-homicide-case/article_80159932-2cb4-11ee-b9ee-ef2c781d2c3c.html https://www.today.com/parents/parents/lily-peters-memory-honored-chippewa-falls-wisconsin-residents-rcna26687 http

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to south Florida to discuss the case of Nubia Barahona, a 10-year-old girl who was murdered on February 11th, 2011. Her body was found February 14th, 2011, wrapped in a plastic garbage bag in the bed of her adoptive father's pickup truck on the side of I-95 in West Palm Beach, Florida. Her body had partially decomposed from being covered in chemicals, possibly pesticides. Her twin brother, Victor Barahona, was in the cab of the truck with his father, suffering seizures from chemical burns and inhalation of toxic gas. Her adoptive parents Jorge and Carmen Barahona were indicted on charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse and child neglect on March 23rd, 2011. The case has sparked outrage from Florida citizens and officials regarding the Florida Department of Children and Families' handling of previous allegations of abuse by the Barahonas.
