This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to discuss the case of Jeffrey Curley, a 10-year-old boy from a working-class Irish neighborhood who wanted to be a fireman when he grew up. Those hopes and dreams were dashed when two men kidnaped him under the guise of giving him a new bike and $50.00 cash. Jeffrey was murdered, sexually assaulted post-mortem, and encased in concrete before being dumped in a Maine river.
