Description
There’s a problem with True Crime.
Creators idolize perpetrators, shame victims, or are completely checked out on cases while they focus on other things. However, we can’t forget there are victims who lost their lives and families who are still grieving to this day.
Furthermore, many True Crime outlets spend their time focusing on themselves or rambling, instead of getting right to the facts of the case. We hear you, this is frustrating.
The Misery Machine focuses on cases the media fails to give proper attention to. We want to help give those a voice that never got to have one, to begin with. We also cover aspects of cases that other podcasts might look the other way on, and the way that these cases impact their communities for generations. It’s not enough to simply cover a case, our platform must be used to make a difference.

This week, Drewby and Yergy head back over across the pond to discuss the case of David Fuller, a British man who committed a serious of heinous crimes in the 1980's known as the Bedsit Murders. But it wasn't until recently that the full scope of David's crimes would come to light...

In the quiet province of Alberta, Canada, a crime unfolded so disturbing it sounds more like a nightmare than reality. A man slaughtered a father, a defenseless toddler, and an elderly neighbor… but it didn’t stop there. In a scene that defies comprehension, he cut into the little girl, tore out her heart, and drank her blood.

In January of 2022, a shocking case out of New Mexico stunned the nation. Surveillance cameras captured 18-year-old Alexis Avila tossing her newborn baby into a dumpster... alone, wrapped in a dirty towel, and left for dead. The footage went viral, sparking outrage, heartbreak, and fierce debates about teen pregnancy, mental health, and justice. Miraculously, the infant was later found alive by chance, but the story of how this happened, and what came next, would haunt an entire community. Today, we’re diving deep into the disturbing case of Alexis Avila: the night she abandoned her child, the trial that followed, and the questions that remain about accountability and survival.Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachinePayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachineJoin Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1Instagram: miserymachinepodcastTwitter: misery_podcastDiscord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM#themiserymachine #podcast #truecrimeSource Materials:https://people.com/crime/mother-who-threw-baby-new-mexico-dumpster-sentenced/https://www.courttv.com/news/alexis-avila-to-be-released-from-prison-pending-appeal/#:~:text=Avila%20was%2018%20when%20she,35%2C%20survived%20the%20incidenthttps://www.koat.com/article/hobbs-new-mexico-alexis-throwing-baby-dumpster-verdict/43754813#:~:text=Police%20said%20a%20group%20of,until%20police%20and%20paramedics%20arrivedhttps://www.kob.com/archive/hobbs-police-group-of-3-people-found-newborn-baby-alive-in-dumpster/https://www.fox13news.com/news/new-mexico-woman-defends-teen-daughter-accused-of-throwing-baby-in-dumpsterhttps://www.krqe.com/news/new-mexico/teen-father-of-baby-thrown-in-dumpster-releases-statement/https://www.hobbsnews.com/avila-released-from-prison-in-baby-in-dumpster-case/#:~:text=%E2%80%A2%20No%20Weaponshttps://www.kcbd.com/2023/05/01/alexis-avila-speaks-after-receiving-16-years-throwing-newborn-dumpster/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/alexis-avila-sentenced-prison-tossing-newborn-baby-trash-dumpster-new-mexico/#:~:text=Jurors%20convicted%C2%A0Alexis%20Avila%2C%2019%2C%20of,health%20disorder%20played%20a%20rolehttps://www.yahoo.com/news/mexico-supreme-court-consider-inmates-225958935.htmlhttps://www.yahoo.com/news/state-supreme-court-rule-hobbs-021506740.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ps3DP_GztIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFQRfYfYBfchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7acSLb4V4hw
She was born into wealth, luxury, and power… But behind the diamonds and designer clothes lurked something truly sinister. Ghislaine Maxwell wasn’t just Epstein’s confidante... She was his enabler, his hunter, and his partner in one of the darkest sex trafficking rings in modern history.In this video, we expose the chilling double life of the so-called “socialite of sin.” From high-society parties to private jets, Maxwell used her charm, influence, and money to lure vulnerable girls into Epstein’s web of abuse. She wasn’t just an accomplice... She was a predator hiding in plain sight.Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachinePayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachineJoin Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1Instagram: miserymachinepodcastTwitter: misery_podcastDiscord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM#themiserymachine #podcast #truecrimeSource Materials:https://www.facebook.com/victimsrefusesilence/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Giuffrehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar-a-Lagohttps://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53268218https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/07/the-fall-of-ghislaine-maxwellhttps://www.courtlistener.com/https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/article221404845.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/02/nyregion/ghislaine-maxwell-arrested.htmlhttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey-epstein-little-st-james-island/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/epstein-island-jeffrey-sex-crimes-b1851226.htmlhttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-05-03/epstein-s-private-islands-in-virgin-islands-sell-for-60-millionhttps://www.reuters.com/legal/ghislaine-maxwell-appeals-conviction-sentence-sex-trafficking-case-2023-07-11/https://people.com/virginia-giuffre-family-speaks-out-about-her-suicide-at-41-exclusive-11722711https://www.instagram.com/p/DH0vvDKzDvu/https://www.speakoutactreclaim.org/https://nypost.com/2025/04/26/world-news/jeffrey-epstein-victim-virginia-giuffre-wrote-she-was-not-suicidal/https://x.com/VRSVirginiahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yURAdqdvb0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLBje7Fiwv4“Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich” (Netflix, 2020)“Surviving Jeffrey Epstein” (Lifetime, 2020)“House of Maxwell” (BBC documentary series, 2022)“Fall: The Mystery of Robert Maxwell” by John Preston
This week, Drewby and Yergy head back to Ohio to discuss the case of Hershall Creachbaum Jr, a young boy with cerebral palsy who was beaten to death by his drunken stepfather. But the horror didn’t end there... In a desperate attempt to cover up the murder, the man staged a fake kidnapping and fed investigators a twisted lie. Even more disturbing? CPS had been warned. Reports were made. The bruises were visible. But no one acted.Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachinePayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachineJoin Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1Instagram: miserymachinepodcastTwitter: misery_podcastDiscord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM#themiserymachine #podcast #truecrimeSource Materials:https://www.newsobserver.com/news/nation-world/national/article310779555.htmlhttps://www.daytondailynews.com/local/mothers-boyfriend-had-history-of-domestic-violence-charges-before-7-year-old-reported-dead/2ROUL2PETZGX7B4UGKMPPMTXF4/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/autistic-boy-kidnap-death-dayton-ohio-b2790457.htmlhttps://www.daytondailynews.com/local/they-wont-help-us-school-staff-called-children-services-multiple-times-before-boys-death-per-911-calls/CSLIE4OVKVE4PFE7K5TFGSO7UA/https://www.facebook.com/trevor.leet.1/posts/-the-heartbreaking-homicide-of-7-year-old-hershall-creachbaum-jrin-the-early-mor/4017868111762508/https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/wont-help-us-school-staff-140500214.htmlhttps://www.wlwt.com/article/hershall-creachbaum-remains-death-dayton-ashley-johnson/65488010https://spectrumnews1.com/oh/columbus/news/2025/07/18/community-members-honor-life-of-hershall-creachbaum-https://www.facebook.com/groups/1646577629368815https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-eLXV2_uKohttps://www.wdtn.com/news/hershall-creachbaum/defendant-in-7-year-olds-death-case-seeks-record-restriction/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_WDTN-TV&fbclid=IwY2xjawMDEydleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHilXP3SLVJQMTm9YCeWJAPpTiuDrZVnj9b9Qzka5YCvNeGcVfuaidLRokh8k_aem_vG40r6PRFV5KmRdPvy37Vghttps://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-2923.13https://www.facebook.com/michael.kendrick.1238292https://www.facebook.com/ashley.johnson.980052https://www.facebook.com/hurshiie.dvbosshttps://www.facebook.com/missy.creachbaumhttps://www.facebook.com/hurshiie.dvbevst
This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Arizona, to discuss the case of Melony Rose Granados, a young girl who lived with her mother, grandmother, and 4 other siblings in a small townhome in Tempe. Melony was born with myoclonic atonic epilepsy and was developmentally delayed. It's said that she had the mental capacity of a 3-year-old. However, when her grandmother, 55-year-old Virginia Lujan couldn't handle Melony's special needs, rather than reach out for help, she allegedly caged her granddaughter... and let her slowly die in her own filth.Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachinePayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachineJoin Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1Instagram: miserymachinepodcastTwitter: misery_podcastDiscord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM#themiserymachine #podcast #truecrimeSource Materials:https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laneur/article/PIIS1474-4422(25)00032-8/abstracthttps://www.google.com/search?q=myoclonic+atonic+epilepsy&rlz=1C1VIQF_enUS1084US1084&oq=Myoclonic+atonic+epilepsy&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgAEAAYgAQyBwgAEAAYgAQyBwgBEAAYgAQyBwgCEAAYgAQyCAgDEAAYFhgeMggIBBAAGBYYHjIICAUQABgWGB4yCAgGEAAYFhgeMggIBxAAGBYYHjIICAgQABgWGB4yCAgJEAAYFhge0gEHNDg5ajBqNKgCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8https://disability-memorial.org/melony-granadoshttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/grandmother-charged-in-disabled-teen-s-death-after-13-year-old-was-kept-in-a-cage/ar-AA1xRy0Shttps://scallywagandvagabond.com/2025/01/13-year-old-az-girl-kept-in-cage-grandmother-mom-virginia-lujan-jami-hodges-arrested-after-she-dies/?fbclid=IwY2xjawL7HxRleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHi4-tTm-OgLauTMS7kCGwaUTb2kZTLIOyDpvt2QpOUDmm7GhbhhekRrK8WnU_aem_AoheXDqiBgIVeZ-DmFOU2Qhttps://www.google.com/maps/place/E+Carter+Dr+%26+S+Mill+Ave,+Tempe,+AZ+85282/@33.3838971,-111.942326,17.53z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x872b061d59afd5fb:0x1494c8328ce3461!8m2!3d33.3832805!4d-111.9394486!16s%2Fg%2F11f342f7ql?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDczMC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3Dhttps://www.fresnobee.com/news/nation-world/national/article299035885.htmlhttps://www.tempe.gov/Home/Components/News/News/18132/1546https://www.facebook.com/jami1416https://www.facebook.com/jami.hodges.5/https://littlethings.com/lifestyle/grandmother-charged-disabled-teens-death-cage-arizonahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwWgscF8IYAhttps://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/tempe/2025/01/25/tempe-girl-13-died-grandmother-is-now-a-suspect-here-is-what-we-know/77931211007/https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/tempe/2025/01/25/tempe-girl-13-died-grandmother-is-now-a-suspect-here-is-what-we-know/77931211007/https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFMQ6VuNYkd/https://www.facebook.com/groups/661671761602462/posts/1241884413581191/https://www.tempenews.com/news/tempe-grandmother-indicted-in-caged-teen-s-death/article_13835b46-e5aa-11ef-b858-2f2261e1da4c.htmlhttps://www.yahoo.com/news/grandmother-indicted-granddaughter-found-grossly-130329514.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAND4w6r7_1Viuz5CYtp0yRhiVvdSO82Lz9oWWxvWqKs4iqnUDNzOb9oaSCCCUrj6VUkZjnmlD_KyJ_MTm3msXAEF4dq9thmLcC94PoPJWuNeQ5WV2hWs18ILbDTdAFjD4L3kTVhulCnOQdFlWp301fZa3BRW5dSlwisddwNhuyEihttps://www.ahwatukee.com/news/police-probe-caged-tempe-teen-s-death/article_f51454fc-dd03-11ef-99af-0b87d1eb2efa.htmlhttps://maricopacountyattorney.org/DocumentCenter/View/3682/Virginia-Lujan-Indictmenthttps://maricopacountyattorney.org/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=1161https://www.the-sun.com/news/13372620/disabled-girl-abused-death-forced-live-makeshift-caged-bed/https://www.abc15.com/news/crime/mother-grandmother-arrested-in-connection-to-death-of-13-year-old-girlhttps://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/court-docs-reveal-new-details-deadly-tempe-child-abuse-case-crime-fileshttps://www.azleg.gov/ars/13/03612.htmhttps://maricopacountyattorney.org/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=1161

On June 3rd, 2023, her father, Andrew Wiley, reported Lori missing to the police. At first, everyone thought that Lori was a runaway as she had a history of leaving home after arguments with her parents. However, almost 2 years later, a discovery on a plantation in southern Georgia changed all of that...Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachinePayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachineJoin Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1Instagram: miserymachinepodcastTwitter: misery_podcastDiscord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM#themiserymachine #podcast #truecrimeSource Materials:https://www.yahoo.com/news/leon-county-jail-death-andrew-022900711.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAKotJbknRWt8hnubSs63W51FEssKJ9J1DLpgd6PZVSY4warkiayHxXg_ygahKj9DG8V-PYDqOLTGGcVhfr7KMuEUJL1BNj2x8yolkeCBlUWktsoYkgY8o9-0z5dnohcyxpBsT_FSHLqowH4KT9reB6cbIdRXiT_mDv_HrvBkIw0Ghttps://www.wctv.tv/2025/06/20/its-dark-ending-questions-remain-after-sudden-death-father-accused-killing-lori-paige/https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/local/2025/04/13/tallahassee-remembers-lori-paige-with-candlelight-vigil/83074790007/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpCtqInrKaQhttps://www.wctv.tv/2025/06/20/its-dark-ending-questions-remain-after-sudden-death-father-accused-killing-lori-paige/https://www.talgov.com/uploads/public/documents/tpd/andrewwiley_pc.pdfhttps://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/local/2025/04/16/lori-paige-murder-how-tallahassee-police-cracked-the-case/83087002007/https://www.jpmooremortuary.com/obituary/lori-paige/flowershttps://www.wctv.tv/2025/06/23/sexual-assault-was-motive-lori-paiges-murder-state-attorney-says-2/

What's with all the commercials out of nowhere? The last three episodes were more commercial than actual story.
Wtf??? There were four sets of ads - each 2 to 3-minute set is not even 5 minutes apart each time, and I'm only ¾ done. There better not be any more ads!
you guys are my favorite podcast for true crime. this story was nuts. never heard of this guy til now. keep up the hard work!
Is he an aries? I don't know but that was pretty Aries of him... Yep....moving on
I am a heroin addict and have gone thru the worst withdrawals including seizures and almost dying a few times. there is NOWAY she did this during or because of heroin withdrawal!!!!
So sad. and dfs takes kids from good parents! because good parents try to comply and talk to dcfs. Parents just never answer the door and Hide from dcfs Are The BAD ones and they Need to get a Warrent and MAKE Them open the door and see the kids. I cant imagine treating a baby like this. i can't even yell at my kids :(
I almost could not listen to this episode. Heartbreaking is an understatement. It was definitely murder.
Someone Dextered his ass!
"Birthing centers" are actually very common. Midwives are responsible for coaching during labor and delivery and the mother can choose to go home shortly thereafter. A typical stay is 12 to 24 hours post delivery. And having a twin pregnancy with an early singular loss is extremely common. My best friend was pregnant with twins but lost one before week 10.
impressed by your knowledge about Iceland👌 Kveðja, Rúnar
