The Case of Colleen Ritzer

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Danvers, Massachusetts, to discuss the tragic case of Colleen Ritzer. Colleen was a well loved math teacher at Danvers High School. She adored her students, and was always willing to lend a helping hand. One such student was Philip Schism, who had just moved to the area from Tennessee... the very student that took her life in the place she was supposed to feel the most safe... her school.  Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachine PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachine Join Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1 Instagram: miserymachinepodcast Twitter: misery_podcast Discord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM #themiserymachine #podcast #truecrime Source Material: https://casetext.com/case/commonwealth-v-chism-6 https://colleenritzer.org/colleen/ https://twitter.com/msritzermath?lang=en https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qIhRnicBsE https://www.facebook.com/ColleenERitzer/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kv--Oc-U8VE https://www.today.com/news/friends-slain-mass-teacher-made-everyones-life-better-8c11456578 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/teen-suspect-murder-teacher-colleen-ritzer-left-hate-note-documents-flna2d11641586 https://www.salemnews.com/news/chism-appeal-moves-forward-as-2014-case-remains-open/article_af0d72b4-1bc2-11ec-bb43-7353b0fcc60d.html https://www.salemnews.com/news/adolescent-brain-development-at-center-of-appeal-by-chism-lawyers/article_c7c53aee-a672-11ed-a80e-87a1378b7651.html https://www.mass.gov/info-details/colleen-e-ritzer https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/10/24/math-teacher-box-cutter-death/3177855/ https://www.andovertownsman.com/news/chism-sentence-devastates-ritzer-family/article_95d46840-37f9-5612-a446-40032c5a40b0.html https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/119337783/colleen-elizabeth-ritzer https://nypost.com/2013/10/24/student-confesses-murder-to-cops/ https://nypost.com/2014/06/20/teen-teacher-killer-escapes-supervision-and-attacks-caregiver/ https://nypost.com/2016/02/26/teen-who-raped-and-murdered-his-teacher-gets-life-in-prison/ https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/philip-chism-murder-juvenile-detention-center/ https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/judge-sentencing-date-january-philip-chism/
