The Case of Kinsleigh Welty

from The Misery Machine · host The Misery Machine

This week, Drewby and Yergy head back to Indianapolis to discuss the case of Kinsleigh Welty, a 5-year-old girl who was starved and locked away in a waste filled closet, only to die at the hands of those who were supposed to protect her. Even worse? Several adults, both inside and outside of the home knew what was going on, and no one stepped in to help Kinsleigh. In fact, her own grandmother helped cover up her abuse from CPS.Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachinePayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachineJoin Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1Instagram: miserymachinepodcastTwitter: misery_podcastDiscord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM#themiserymachine #podcast #truecrimeSource Material:https://www.meredith-clark.com/obituary/Kinsleigh-Weltyhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/280835277/kinsleigh-weltyFacebook messages lead to more charges in Indy 5-year-old's malnourishment caseFamily of slain 5-year-old girl call for child welfare reform: 'This was preventable'Mother and grandmother detailed sickening abuse in Facebook messages leading up to 5-year-old girl’s death | The IndependentIndiana prosecutor wants mother of Kinsleigh Welty, 5, jailed for lifeMom and Grandmother of Murdered Girl, 5, Allegedly Detailed Abuse in MessagesFamily of Kinsleigh Welty appear in courtMom Is Accused of Murdering Daughter, 5, Who Was Allegedly Locked in Closet and Covered in WasteIMPD News - 𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗗 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗔𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗔𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁... | Facebook Kinsleigh Welty - Fundraiser by Carrie HoganIndianapolis mother, boyfriend arrested after 5-year-old allegedly dies from malnourishmenthttps://www.wrtv.com/news/local-news/crime/dcs-failed-us-family-demands-accountability-followiKinsleigh Welty Neglect Case: Prosecutor Seeks Life Sentenceng-death-of-5-year-old-girlhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/kinsleigh-weltyKinsleigh Welty Neglect Case: Prosecutor Seeks Life Sentence2 charged in death of malnourished 5-year-old appear in courtThree facing charges for the death of a five-year-old | news - Indiana Public Mediahttps://people.com/mom-accused-murdering-daughter-5-allegedly-locked-closet-covered-in-waste-8633648https://www.cedars-sinai.org/health-library/diseases-and-conditions/t/tracheomalacia.htmlhttps://fox5sandiego.com/news/national-news/mother-confesses-she-forced-5-year-old-daughter-to-live-in-feces-covered-closet-with-little-food-prior-to-her-death/https://fox59.com/news/indycrime/indy-couple-grandma-charged-in-horrific-death-of-5-year-old-girl-who-was-locked-in-feces-covered-closet-tied-to-a-bed/https://www.wrtv.com/news/local-news/grandmother-charged-with-neglect-in-5-year-old-kinsleigh-weltys-death
