This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Lubbock, Texas, to discuss the case of Marion Jester Montoya, a sweet little girl who had the misfortune of being born to a mother, Veronica Weems, who didn't have her best interests at heart. After cheating on Marion's father, Emilio, with his friend, Trevor Rowe, the new "couple" move in together. Although Emilio made several reports to CPS about his daughter's welfare, they simply didn't listen - much like in many of the cases we cover. Things came to a head on January 7th, 2020, when Marion's mother didn't want the burden of watching her daughter. Instead, Trevor stuffed Marion into a backpack and brought her with him to his roofing job. She was later stuffed into the trunk of his car, where she later died.
