The Unsolved Case of Sarah J. Gibbs 15.06.2026 23минThis week, Drewby and Yergy head to Warsaw, Indiana, to discuss the case of Sarah J Gibbs, a 34-year-old autistic woman who was brutally killed in her apartment. On December 19, 2014, first responders rushed to a duplex fire on East Smith Street. Inside the home, fire crews found Sarah's badly burned body in the living room. While the fire at first looked like an accident, a closer look by the police changed everything. An autopsy proved that Sarah was murdered before the fire was set. Her family shared that she had been stabbed to death. The killer used a chemical accelerant to burn down the home to cover up the crime. As of the date of this release in June of 2026, Sarah's killer or killers have never been brought to justice. There is a $10,000 cash reward for tips that lead to an arrest.

The Tragic Case of Kumanjayi Little Baby 09.06.2026 29мин🌳🦘Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be warned that this episode refers to the sensitive issue of death and dying. Among many Aboriginal groups, it is considered highly taboo to speak the name or display likenesses of a deceased person. In some traditions, they may even temporarily rename things that share the deceased person's name to avoid speaking it. These warnings serve as a standard default, but taboos are not universal. In some cases, the family of the deceased may provide explicit permission for the name, voice, or image to be used to honor and remember their legacy. Kumanjayi Little Baby was a five-year-old Aboriginal Warlpiri girl whose tragic death in Alice Springs, Australia, in late April 2026 prompted national mourning and widespread calls for child protection reform. Following cultural traditions, her real given name is no longer used, and she is respectfully referred to by the community as "Kumanjayi Little Baby"Kumanjayi Little Baby was abducted in the early hours of April 26th, 2026, from the Old Timers town camp in Alice Springs. Her disappearance sparked a massive, five-day search by police and over 300 local volunteers.Her body was tragically discovered on April 30th, 2026, approximately 5 kilometers from where she was last seen. A 47-year-old man, Jefferson Lewis, was arrested and subsequently 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.

Just days prior, on July 4th, Eric was arrested for domestic battery after allegedly slapping Leida while she held the infant. Alisa was found unresponsive later that day and placed on life support for five days before passing away. Flash forward to March of 2026, and reports indicated that the Adams County Health and Human Services Department's initial assessment ruled Alisa's death "non-accidental." The assessment cited a "preponderance of the evidence to substantiate maltreatment of physical abuse to the infant by the mother." As of the date of this release in April of 2026, no criminal charges have been filed specifically in connection with the infant's death. A final autopsy report is still pending, and Erica and Leida have hired a private medical examiner to review the case. Their expert suggested that injuries, such as a fractured rib, could have occurred during the baby's C-section birth or during CPR efforts.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.

The Case of Zara Qairina binti Mahathir 09.04.2026 28минThis week, Yergy and Drewby head back over to Malaysia to discuss a case that needs more discussion, and that is the case of Zara Qairina binti Mahatir.

Zara was a 13-year-old girl from Sabah who was found clinging to life in a drainage ditch outside of her private boarding school. It was quickly assumed that Zara might have fallen from the 3rd floor window of the girl's dormitory. But when rumors began to circulate that Zara had been bullied by a group of older girls from affluent families, her case made it all of the way to the desk of the Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim.
