The Tragic Case of Emma Grace Cole

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Smyrna, Delaware, to discuss the case of 3-year-old Emma Grace Cole, who became the victim of a tragic and highly publicized case of fatal child abuse and torture. On September 13, 2019, Emma's charred skeletal remains were found in the bushes near the Smyrna-Clayton Little Lass Softball fields. Because her body was severely burned and left without identification, investigators spent more than a year working to identify her. She was referred to by law enforcement as "Baby Elle" until a credible tip led to her identification in October 2020. Court documents later revealed that Emma endured an agonizing final year of life. Her mother, Kristie Haas, and stepfather, Brandon Haas, subjected Emma and her half-siblings to starvation, extreme physical discipline, and forced exercise. Emma was heavily singled out for the abuse. After Emma became unresponsive following a severe beating, her mother attempted to revive her with a cold shower rather than calling 911. After Emma died, Kristie burned her body and dumped her remains. The couple then lied to family members, claiming Emma was away at a mental health facility, and fled Delaware for Indiana and Pennsylvania, where they were eventually arrested.Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachineJoin Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachineOfficial Merch Store: https://miserymachine-shop.fourthwall.com/Instagram: miserymachinepodcastTwitter: misery_podcast#documentary #themiserymachine #truecrime 🚨 EDUCATIONAL, DOCUMENTARY, SCIENTIFIC, OR ARTISTIC CONTENT DISCLAIMER 🚨CONTENT WARNING: THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT A SENSITIVE TOPIC INVOLVING LOSS OF LIFE.
