This week, Drewby and Yergy head back over to the UK to discuss the case of Bennylyn Burke, a young mother from the Philippines who was well liked in her Bristol community. That was, until a man named Andrew Innes came into her life. After meeting on a dating website, Andrew lured Bennylyn, along with her daughter, Jellica, and an unnamed child up to Dundee, Scotland. What was supposed to be a short weekend trip ended with mother and daughter being buried in cement beneath Andrew's kitchen floor.

The Case of Debbie Leitch
This week, Drewby and Yergy head across The Pond to Blackpool to discuss the case of Debbie Leitch, a young woman with Downs Syndrome living with her mother, Elaine Clarke, in a terrace house in the town South Shore district. Rather than take care of her daughter's needs, Elaine spent Debbie's benefits on item for herself. She allowed her to live in filth, covered in scabies, and waste away to a mere 52 pound before she finally passed from the neglect.

The Case of Cristina Pangalangan
This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Colleton County, South Carolina, to discuss the case of Cristina Pangalangan, a teenager girl living with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and scoliosis. She was non-verbal and depended on her mother, Rita, for all of her day to day needs. Although, Rita, who was a school teacher, had been on CPS's radar, nothing was ever done to remove Cristina from her care. But in August of 2019, tragedy stuck after Rita left her daughter in the back of her Volkswagen Jetta for 6 hours in the scorching Carolina heat in her boyfriend's driveway, while the two smoked meth and hooked up inside.

The Case of Sade Robinson
This week, Drewby and Yergy head over to Milwaukee to discuss the case of Sade Robinson, a beautiful 19-year-old young woman who was just months away from earning her degree in criminal justice. That was until April 1st, 2024, when Sade went on a date with a man named Maxwell Anderson. After visiting a few area bars, Sade accompanied Maxwell back to his home where they watched Love, Death + Robots. No one knows exactly what happened next, but the evening ended with Maxwell scattering Sade's body parts all around the city of Milwaukee, before setting her Honda Civic ablaze.

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.
