The Case of Jessica Lunsford

This week, Drewby and Yergy head down to Homosassa, Florida, to discuss the case of 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford, an adorable 3rd grader who lived in a neatly kept mobile home with her father and grandparents. However, little Jessica's idyllic life in the Sunshine State was rocked in the wee morning hours of February 24th, 2005, when her neighbor, 49-year-old sex offender, John Couey, who broke into her family home while drunk and high on crack. John lured the girl from her bed and to his sister's trailer that sat just 65 feet away. There, Jessica was sexually assaulted, exposed to cocaine, and held captive for days inside John's bedroom closet. Local police had multiple opportunities to rescue Jessica, but instead, they allowed John Couey to bury her alive in a series of trash bags right in front of their command center.   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.youtube.com/watch?v=h8n9bAEGTyU  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Jessica_Lunsford https://www.chronicleonline.com/news/local/the-case-that-doesn-t-die/article_83894110-8f05-5f9f-a397-a5c148e32c95.html https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/jessica-lunsford/11/ https://www.tampabay.com/archive/2007/02/10/jessie-s-story-an-ordinary-kid/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I6ReI2BdqE  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Wm-EYTn5Yg  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mihhm7aswvo  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ5X5Ns4568  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aO5TAq9h6Ds https://www.jessiesplacecitrus.org/ https://supremecourt.flcourts.gov/content/download/375611/file/07-1636_Ans.pdf https://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/story?id=3520178&page=1 https://www.ocala.com/story/news/2005/09/24/a-trail-of-paper/64278750007/
