The Case of Dennis Vaughan

from The Misery Machine · host The Misery Machine

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Laconia, New Hampshire... a place that's really important to them, to discuss the tragic case of Dennis "Boo" Vaughan, a little boy who never had a chance at life.  After being born to a young mother and an abusive father who was in his 50's (both who were experiencing substance use issues at the time), Dennis and his siblings went to live with his grandmother, Sherry Connor. The problem was, Sherry was also extremely abusive, so Dennis wasn't safe in either environment. On Christmas Eve of 2019, little Dennis was found unresponsive in Sherry's apartment, and it would take years for the grandmother to be brought to justice.  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://www.legacy.com/obituaries/name/dennis-vaughan-obituary?pid=194948471 https://www.wmur.com/article/laconia-new-hampshire-5-year-old-boy-death-investigation-update/30344754 https://www.wmur.com/article/manslaughter-boo-vaughan-sherry-connor-laconia/61900844 https://www.unionleader.com/news/courts/former-laconia-woman-charged-with-killing-grandson-on-christmas-eve-2019/article_d9065812-696f-5b39-abd6-67954be6aa84.html https://patch.com/new-hampshire/concord-nh/laconia-grandmother-arrested-her-grandsons-4-plus-year-death-case https://newhampshirebulletin.com/2024/08/19/dennis-vaughan-was-killed-five-years-ago-monday-his-grandmother-was-denied-bail-in-his-death/ https://www.conwaydailysun.com/news/local/laconia-boys-death-investigated-neighbors-were-concerned/article_684b5bee-28c5-11ea-b585-d74abe68e493.html https://www.unionleader.com/news/crime/laconia-5-year-olds-christmas-eve-death-ruled-a-homicide/article_a6df29a8-a6e5-5e36-b651-0cfcf3353371.html https://www.unionleader.com/news/human_interest/bereft-mom-seeks-answers-two-years-after-sons-death/article_3d1edb0a-a52f-5867-aacc-5d1916ac5531.html https://www.unionleader.com/news/crime/mom-sues-dcyf-over-sons-homicide-in-2019/article_cc843f97-a55b-588f-ac0e-ef580adce656.html https://www.wmur.com/article/child-death-dennis-vaughn-lawsuit-41023/43556927 https://www.wmur.com/article/nh-laconia-vigils-honor-the-life-of-child-who-died-on-christmas-eve-in-2019/46151439 https://www.laconiadailysun.com/news/local/after-years-of-waiting-for-authorities-a-mother-seeks-justice-for-her-sons-homicide/article_d046ff2a-bf88-11ed-ac74-63d34b3b72fc.html?fbclid=IwY2xjawGfXuhleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHT9peJEgY41Clits-lCnFmIgG28x3nhBlSgaRbAf9YicKD59-bUFRW1pCw_aem_IVW9j-Mcdk4acJqGpv_0mw https://newhampshirebulletin.com/2023/03/06/no-arrest-no-comment-the-5-year-old-homicide-victim-the-states-not-talking-about/  https://www.wmur.com/article/manslaughter-boo-vaughan-sherry-connor-laconia/61900844 https://www.necn.com/news/local/woman-charged-with-manslaughter-5-years-after-death-of-5-year-old-in-nh/3311672/ https://www.themirror.com/news/us-news/chilling-update-5-year-olds-649725 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13752417/Shocking-update-cold-case-New-Hampshire-boy.html https://www.concordmonitor.com/Grandmother-of-5-year-old-who-died-on-Christmas-Eve-2019-indicted-for-manslaughter-laconia-nh-56598886 https://www.wmur.com/article/sherry-connor-boo-vaughan-death-bail-81924/61916077 https://www.wmur.com/article/bail-sherry-connor-boo-vaughan-100224/62491289 https://www.wmur.com/article/bail-denied-sherry-connor-boo-vaughn-10524/62518119 https://newhampshirebulletin.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Vaughan-Lawsuit-v-DCYF.pdf?fbclid=IwY2xjawGfVyxleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHU3kzQuR-TCYytbdv_6xakpXhcngN24lBpJb4Gm4rpi2qESXj3nKAlsHiw_aem_1szm4MmpS9s8N_aZX7l0Ow https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090309441118 https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17zFfPpyc9/
