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 discuss the case of Antron Singleton, more commonly known as Big Lurch, an up-and-coming figure in the horrorcore and gangsta rap scenes. In April 2002, while under the heavy influence of PCP, Big Lurch murdered his 21-year-old roommate, Tynisha Ysais, in her apartment in Los Angeles, California. Police found Big Lurch naked and covered in blood, wandering the street, while Tynisha's body was discovered with her chest torn open and her right lung removed. In addition, medical examiners found human flesh in Big Lurch's stomach that did not belong to him.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 Available Upon Request.
This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Queens, New York, to discuss the case of 3-year-old Autumn Coleman, also known as Zoey Pereira. On the night of May 5th, 2019, first responders found a burning Audi sedan near Baisley Boulevard and 155th Street in Springfield Gardens, Queens. Autumn was strapped into a car seat in the back of the vehicle. To prevent her escape or rescue, her father, Martin "Tony" Pereira, had doused the car in gasoline and chained the rear doors shut from the inside. Investigators also found propane tanks and gas canisters intended to fuel the fire. Firefighters managed to pull Autumn from the wreckage after the heat from the flames melted the door handle, allowing them to break through the chains. She was rushed to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center but died shortly after from severe burns and smoke inhalation. Hours before the murder, Tony reportedly called Autumn's mother, Cherone Coleman, and told her, "You’ll never see your daughter again."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 Available Upon Request.
This week, Drewby and Yergy travel to France to discuss the case of Lola Daviet, a 12-year-old Parisian schoolgirl and gymnastics champion whose brutal murder shocked the whole country and became a focal point for intense national debate on immigration and security. On October 14th, 2022, Lola was abducted after returning from her school, Collège Georges Brassens, in the 19th Arrondissement (District) of Paris. Her body was found by a homeless man later that evening inside of a plastic storage trunk. Dahbia Benkired, a 24-year-old Algerian national who was in France on an expired visa, was arrested and charged with her murder.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 Available Upon Request.
This week, Drewby and Yergy take a look at some of the most disturbing and heartbreaking cases of child abuse in recent UK history. The stories you're about to hear involve the worst failures of parental duty imaginable, cases that shocked the nation and prompted urgent questions about how children are protected.We'll be discussing four cases: Debbie Leitch, a vulnerable woman with Down's Syndrome who was horrifically abused by those entrusted with her care; Finley Boden, a baby just 10 months old who never got the chance to live, failed by the very people meant to love him most; Sara Sharif, whose case became one of the most harrowing child murder investigations in British legal history; and Lola James, a little girl whose short life ended in unimaginable suffering.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 Available Upon Request.
This week, Drewby and Yergy do something a little different... We'll be discussing the case of 34-year-old Jonathan Gerlach of Ephrata, Pennsylvania, who was arrested in January 2026 for allegedly stealing human remains from the historic Mount Moriah Cemetery. Investigators discovered over 100 sets of human remains, including skulls and mummified parts, at his home and storage unit. He faces hundreds of criminal counts, including burglary, abuse of a corpse, and desecration of public monuments, and is currently held on $1 million bail.Note: Yes, I know we're pronouncing "Gerlach" wrong. We noticed after the fact while we were already away. We'd normally just re-record those parts, but we don't have the set up to do that overseas. This is why I probably shouldn't write or record with an active fever ever again... Oops. Since he's the perp, I think we should just call him "Jonathan Grossguy." 🍳Download Royal Cooking - https://t2m.io/The_Misery_Machine_Feb26 🌳The Friends Of Mount Moira Cemetery GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-the-friends-of-mount-moriah-cemeterySupport 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 #truecrime
1This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Oakland, California, to discuss the case of 18-year-old Nia Wilson, a beautiful young woman who had dreams of joining the military or becoming a paramedic so that she could help people. On the evening of July 22nd, 2018, Nia and her sisters, Letifah and Tashiya, were transferring trains at the MacArthur BART station in Oakland after attending a family party. Without provocation or prior interaction, 27-year-old John Lee Cowell approached them from behind and slashed Nia’s throat, also stabbing Letifah in the neck. Nia died at the scene within minutes. Letifah survived the attack with serious injuries. Tashiya was not physically harmed. John was arrested the following day at the Pleasant Hill BART station after a passenger recognized him from surveillance footage and tipped off police. During the trial, John's defense argued he was legally insane, citing a history of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. John himself gave bizarre testimony, claiming the sisters were "aliens."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 #truecrime
This week, Drewby and Yergy head back over to Bakersfield, California, to discuss the case of 8-year-old Ger'Mya Amirah Alexander. On the morning of March 18, 2020, Bakersfield police responded to a report of a child not breathing. Ger'Mya was transported to a local hospital where she died from her injuries later that day. The Kern County Coroner ruled the death a homicide, citing multiple blunt force traumatic injuries alongside acute bronchopneumonia, sickle cell trait, and hypoxic respiratory failure. Clint Mason, the 37-year-old boyfriend of Ger'Mya's mother, was identified as the suspect. He was arrested on March 19, 2020, in Inglewood, California. Court reports revealed that he had assaulted Ger'Mya over several hours with a belt, a metal cane, and his hands because she had not finished her homework. In March of 2022, Clint was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for first-degree murder.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 #truecrime

This week, Drewby and Yergy head down to Georgia to discuss the case of Romeo Jaxton Dru Angeles, also known as JD Williams. On January 14th, 2024, baby JD was found unresponsive in the dorm room of Trinity Poague, his father's new girlfriend. He later died at an area hospital from blunt force trauma to the head and torso. Trinity was an 18-year-old freshman student at Georgia Southwestern State University at the time of the crime, and the reigning Miss Donalsonville. In court, prosecutors argued that Trinity killed the child out of resentment and jealousy, presenting text messages where she stated she "hated" the child and "wanted to punch him". Medical experts testified that the child's severe injuries, including a skull fracture and liver laceration, were inconsistent with her claim that he had simply fallen off a bed.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 Material:Available upon request due to character length exceeding what Spotify allows in it's description.

Melodee was a 9-year-old girl from Vandenberg Village, California, whose disappearance in October 2025 led to a massive multi-state search, and the eventual arrest of her mother, Ashlee Buzzard.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 Material:Available upon request due to character length exceeding what Spotify allows in it's description.
This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Amherst County, Virginia, to discuss the case of Elsie Wiggington, a 45-year-old nurse and mother of two who went missing in June of 2023, after confession to her former foster sister that she feared for her life. Elsie's case went cold until a new sheriff took office, and what was found beneath a six inch concrete slab on her estranged husband's property shocked Amherst to it's core.💸You’re 30 seconds away from being debt free with PDS Debt.

After a long career in nursing, John Torneo did what many retirees do... they pack up and head on down to the Sunshine State to live out their golden years in the warm weather. While in Florida, John met a young man that was down on his luck and needed a place to stay. Unfortunately, John's kind nature would put him in grave danger when the arrangement didn't pan out.

On Christmas Eve, a young man went missing after a date arranged through Grindr, and what followed would shock an entire community. Kevin Bacon, a 26-year-old hair stylist from Michigan, never made it home that night. His disappearance would soon be linked to Mark Latunski, a man hiding a dark and disturbing secret behind the walls of his rural farmhouse. This is the story of Kevin Bacon, and the crime that unfolded during a holiday meant for family, warmth, and peace.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 Available Upon Request.
On a quiet afternoon in Polk City, Florida, a teenage breakup spiraled into unimaginable violence. What began as a dispute between 17-year-old Hunter Penton and his ex-girlfriend quickly escalated into a brutal attack inside his own home... an assault carried out by multiple teenagers and captured on video. But the violence didn’t end there. As Hunter’s mother, Suzette Marie Penton, rushed to protect her son, she was struck and killed by a church van driven by 18-year-old Elijah Paul Stansell. This week, Drewby and Yergy examine the tragic chain of events that led to Suzette’s death, and how youthful anger, peer involvement, and reckless decisions destroyed a family forever.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 Available Upon Request.
Some of the most devastating crimes are not committed by strangers in dark alleys, but by the very people meant to protect and love us. In this compilation, we examine four separate cases that shook communities to their core, each involving a biological father who betrayed the most fundamental bond of parenthood. Phoebe Jonchuck, Maddox Lawrence, Dylan Redwine, and Takoda Collins were children whose lives ended far too soon at the hands of their own fathers. Though these cases occurred in different places and under different circumstances, they share a haunting common thread: warning signs missed, systems that failed, and innocent lives lost. This week, we will tell their stories, not for shock value, but to remember who they were, to confront the uncomfortable realities of family violence, and to ask how tragedies like these can ever be prevented.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 Available Upon Request.
It was a story that gripped Southern California and eventually broke hearts across the nation. In August of 2025, 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro was reported kidnapped from a Yucaipa parking lot during a broad-daylight attack on his mother.The parents, Rebecca and Jake Haro, went on television pleading for their son’s safe return. But behind the scenes, investigators were finding holes in their story. Surveillance footage showed no kidnapping, and soon, the mother’s account began to crumble...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 Available Upon Request.
On a quiet train ride through North Carolina, surrounded by strangers and moving steadily toward its destination, no one could have imagined that violence was about to unfold in one of the most confined public spaces imaginable. Iryna Zarutska was just another passenger that day... until her life was taken in a brutal and senseless act that would shock travelers, law enforcement, and an entire nation.What makes this case especially disturbing isn’t just the crime itself, but where it happened: aboard a moving train, a place many people associate with safety, routine, and anonymity. In today’s video, we’ll examine who Iryna was, what is known about the moments leading up to her death, how the attack unfolded, and the questions this case raised about security, vulnerability, and violence in public spaces.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 Available Upon Request.

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
