The Case of Eduardo Posso

from The Misery Machine · host The Misery Machine

This week, Drewby and Yergy follow a circus performer family across the United States and discuss the tragic case of Eduardo Posso, and adorable little boy who just wanted to juggle and be free. After essentially being kidnapped by his father and stepmother, Eduardo was taken across the country and made into the family scapegoat, with some of his siblings considering him to be "not part of the family." In the end, Eduardo died from malnourishment and dehydration, and had lost 50% of his body weight. Only hair was present in his stomach at autopsy. He was also beaten with a metal bat, shocked with an electronic collar, shot with a staple gun, and chained up in the bathroom.  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://thefuneralchapel.net/book-of-memories/3860815/Posso-Eduardo/obit.php?&printable=true https://fox59.com/news/mother-of-boy-shackled-starved-in-monroe-county-said-she-knew-something-was-wrong-no-one-will-listen/ https://eu.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/crime/2019/07/25/life-without-parole-sought-for-dad-stepmom-in-starving-death-of-12-year-old/46644245/  https://www.fox13news.com/news/mourners-dont-let-abused-boys-death-be-in-vain.amp  https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/in-court-of-appeals/2153597.html https://fox59.com/news/mother-of-boy-shackled-starved-in-monroe-county-said-she-knew-something-was-wrong-no-one-will-listen/amp/ https://www.wfla.com/news/local-news/manatee-county/could-eduardo-possos-horrific-death-have-been-prevented/amp/  https://www.wtsp.com/video/news/crime/vigil-held-for-12-year-old-boy-restrained-with-shackles-and-a-dog-collar-in-motel-bathroom-before-he-died/67-775fa579-1b47-4740-a92c-c4c5387282d0  https://public.courts.in.gov/Decisions/api/Document/Opinion?Id=U5DaNqVzIKHgjelhjlyoqfi5Z8DGe5MAWOEzhuAYuRKIcdLT8_PAVo43RnHM6q2Q0  https://amp.bradenton.com/news/local/crime/article230991853.html https://casetext.com/case/posso-v-state-2/ https://fb.watch/sUY3Q7sar2/?mibextid=KsPBc6 - WTHR interview  https://thefuneralchapel.net/book-of-memories/3860815/Posso-Eduardo/  https://www.wtsp.com/video/news/crime/vigil-held-for-12-year-old-boy-restrained-with-shackles-and-a-dog-collar-in-motel-bathroom-before-he-died/67-775fa579-1b47-4740-a92c-c4c5387282d0  https://www.nationalchildrensalliance.org/media-room/national-statistics-on-child-abuse/  https://www.nationalchildrensalliance.org/media-room/national-statistics-on-child-abuse/#:~:text=Child%20abuse%20is%20deadly.,compared%20to%20girls%20at%202.15  https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/juliareinstein/circus-parents-indiana-chain-son-selfie-starved  https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7087223/amp/Boy-died-evil-parents-tied-bathtub-tortured-electric-shock-collar.html  https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1011851  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_executed_in_Indiana#:~:text=A%20total%20of%2020%20people,with%20lethal%20injection%20in%201995  https://www.gofundme.com/f/eduardo-luis  https://cbs4indy.com/news/florida-investigators-say-they-found-no-signs-of-abuse-months-before-12-year-old-died-in-indiana/amp/ https://eu.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/crime/2022/10/07/judge-gives-man-65-years-in-starvation-death-of-12-year-old-son/69545042007/  https://fox59.com/indiana-news/father-pleads-guilty-to-murder-in-sons-beating-starvation-death-in-monroe-county/amp/  https://fox59.com/news/florida-investigators-say-they-found-no-signs-of-abuse-months-before-12-year-old-died-in-indiana/amp/  https://indianapublicmedia.org/news/posso-sentenced-to-65-years-after-pleading-guilty-to-murder-of-12-year-old-son-in-2019.php https://public.courts.in.gov/Decisions/api/Document/Opinion?Id=zwXyVGcWCaCNoKD5x7RXSU_cS4qf78ZgGdkOD9uu4s0lMYQ2iX8CUziLyecymlE50  https://eu.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/crime/2022/10/07/judge-gives-man-65-years-in-starvation-death-of-12-year-old-son/69545042007/#:~:text=Posso%2C%2035%2C%20has%20been%20incarcerated,Walnut%20Street%20when%20Eduardo%20died  https://www.mysuncoast.com/2019/05/30/manatee-county-sheriffs-office-releases-child-abuse-investigation-involving-year-old-boy-who-later-died-extreme-abuse/?outputType=amp  https://www.wbiw.com/2022/07/21/indiana-court-of-appeals-denied-a-woman-a-lighter-sentence-for-the-murder-of-her-stepson/  https://public.courts.in.gov/Decisions/api/Document/Opinion?Id=pKCMQe-7smEffEpjXuqG0Eg9lREUFXv6lskxYtW-fO9O6WgE4pOm5SsR2vX2Ttc00  https://eu.tmnews.com/story/news/2019/05/31/details-emerge-in-12-year-olds-starvation-death/117328246/  https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/06/04/us/boy-starved-to-death  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzbYi7mn0z0 https://www.facebook.com/profile/100063561125871/search/?q=posso
