This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Pennsylvania to discuss the case of Scotty McMillan, an adorable little red haired boy who lost his life at the hands of his mother, Jillian Tait, and her "sugar daddy," Gary Lee Fellenbaum III, whom she had met at Walmart. Soon Gary, who was a father and already married to a woman named Amber, began abusing Scotty and his brother "R." He beat them with metal rods and a homemade cat-o-nine-tails, among other things, while they were hung upside down by their feet. On November 3rd, 2014, Scotty was beaten to death for not eating his breakfast. He was pronounced dead the following day.
