The Case of Heaven Waktins

This week, Yergy and Drewby head to both Minnesota and Virginia to discuss the case of Heaven Watkins, a young autistic girl with cerebral palsy who was killed by her mother, Latoya Monique Smith, and her new boyfriend, Demont Harris. Even more infuriating than the fact that this beautiful little girl was killed, is the fact that Demont was being paid by the state of Virginia to care for her - but he didn't. He did the exact opposite of that.  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.kare11.com/article/news/investigations/kare-11-investigates-heavens-tragic-life-and-death/89-611352180 https://www.13newsnow.com/article/news/local/mycity/norfolk/heaven-watkins-latoya-smith-sentencing/291-6ff0fe42-2331-4d58-9886-d7004cca287f https://youtu.be/ohqL3WsVGOg?list=PL63Lm4ZCdVCBOIToqZexHpMQL7MbE48L9 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0yp0PD4CXg&list=PL63Lm4ZCdVCBOIToqZexHpMQL7MbE48L9&index=2 https://www.13newsnow.com/video/news/local/13news-now-investigates/full-interview-sheronda-orridge-on-her-niece-heaven-watkins/291-8221111 https://democrats-edworkforce.house.gov/media/news/heavens-story-after-girls-death-her-child-abuse-case-is-prompting-nationwide-legislation https://disability-memorial.org/heaven-watkins https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/485 https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/117/hr485 https://childwelfaremonitor.org/2018/11/27/why-america-needs-an-interstate-child-abuse-and-neglect-registry/ https://wset.com/news/local/mother-fianc-charged-in-death-of-11-year-old-autistic-child-caused-abdomen-to-split https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/193395667/heaven-raola-watkins https://www.13newsnow.com/article/news/investigations/man-pleads-guilty-in-norfolk-child-abuse-death/291-a934951d-da32-4f72-ac16-9b908034afda https://www.13newsnow.com/article/news/local/13news-now-investigates/gov-northam-signs-heavens-bill-into-law/291-277a0507-c670-4b14-a2ed-9fc4e31795f8 https://www.wtkr.com/2018/05/25/bond-hearing-scheduled-for-norfolk-mother-charged-with-murder-in-childs-death https://www.wtkr.com/2018/05/23/family-of-11-year-old-victim-speaks-out-as-they-plan-memorial-services-to-honor-the-child https://www.wtkr.com/2018/05/21/two-more-children-taken-from-norfolk-home-after-11-year-olds-death https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/episode-103-heaven-watkins-part-1/id1499010711?i=1000553419032
