This week, Drewby and Yergy head to the Ozarks to discuss the case of Caterina Whitten, a 29-year-old woman living with Fraser syndrome, which left her blind. Caterina's father, David Whitten, adopted her from Russia as a child. He and his late wife adopted 6 disabled children and adults with an array of special needs over the years. However, when David's wife passed away, everything went to hell, and Caterina was left to die on a filthy bed where she was eaten by cockroaches.
