In the quiet province of Alberta, Canada, a crime unfolded so disturbing it sounds more like a nightmare than reality. A man slaughtered a father, a defenseless toddler, and an elderly neighbor… but it didn’t stop there. In a scene that defies comprehension, he cut into the little girl, tore out her heart, and drank her blood. This was no ordinary murder... it was a descent into pure evil, a night of horror that left a community shaken and the world asking how something so monstrous could ever happen. Tonight, we uncover the story of Canada’s cannibal killer, Derek Saretzky.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 Materials:https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/hailey-dunbar-blanchette-timeline-vigils-fundraisers-1.3233210 https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/article/timeline-of-events-hailey-dunbar-blanchette-abduction-case https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0LCexA3VuQhttps://www.thefreepress.ca/news/saretzky-to-undergo-psychiatric-assessment-5089442https://globalnews.ca/news/2249477/derek-saretzky-to-make-first-court-appearance-in-blairmore-murders/  https://www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca/obituary/Hailey-Lynn-Dunbar-Blanchette https://lethbridgenewsnow.com/2017/06/21/mother-of-hailey-dunbar-blanchette-testifies-in-saretzky-triple-murder-trial https://globalnews.ca/news/3522447/victims-father-takes-stand-at-derek-saretzky-murder-trial https://globalnews.ca/news/3504914/derek-saretzky-murder-trial-day-1/https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2017/06/13/blood-in-crib-jury-hears-details-about-home-where-father-was-killed-girl-taken/https://lethbridgenewsnow.com/2017/06/19/he-had-done-something-bad-really-bad-aunt-of-derek-saretzky-warning-story-contains-graphic-details/https://globalnews.ca/news/2221431/amber-alert-what-we-know-so-far-about-terry-blanchette-and-daughter-hailey https://globalnews.ca/news/2224110/she-was-my-baby-hailey-dunbar-blanchettes-mother-cheyenne-breaks-down https://lethbridgenewsnow.com/2017/06/21/former-friend-mother-of-dead-alberta-girl-faces-accused-killer-in-court/https://globalnews.ca/news/2242484/derek-saretzky-out-of-medically-induced-coma-after-suicide-attempt-source/https://globalnews.ca/news/3531093/court-hears-derek-saretzky-tell-police-about-death-of-hailey-dunbar-blanchette/https://www.thefreepress.ca/news/disturbing-video-confessions-played-at-derek-saretzkys-triple-murder-trial-5099467https://globalnews.ca/video/3532445/first-of-3-derek-saretzky-video-confessions-played-at-triple-murder-trialhttps://globalnews.ca/news/2222343/her-dad-was-the-highlight-of-her-life-godmother-pleads-for-missing-alberta-girls-return/https://globalnews.ca/news/2249477/derek-saretzky-to-make-first-court-appearance-in-blairmore-murders/https://globalnews.ca/news/2939076/derek-saretzkys-mother-and-grandmother-break-their-silence-on-anniversary-of-blairmore-tragedy/https://globalnews.ca/news/3534085/derek-saretzky-trial-court-hears-accused-murderer-re-enacted-childs-killing-for-police/https://lethbridgenewsnow.com/2017/06/16/god-did-it-not-me-jury-shown-confession-video-in-saretzky-trial-warning-graphic-details/https://globalnews.ca/news/6534558/alberta-appeal-derek-saretzky-murder/https://globalnews.ca/news/3535324/derek-saretzky-triple-murder-trial-to-continue-with-disturbing-evidence-monday/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/murders-who-received-more-than-25-year-sentences-canada-1.4240611 https://www.gofundme.com/f/zm4hucks (Full source list exceeds character limit, but is available upon request)

A quiet Texas community was shattered in December 2022 when 7-year-old Athena Strand vanished from her driveway. What began as a desperate search for a missing child soon spiraled into a nightmare when the truth came to light. Behind her disappearance was a shocking betrayal of trust, a crime that stunned the nation with its cruelty and senselessness. Today, we’re diving into the heartbreaking case of Athena Strand... A story of innocence stolen, and the devastating aftermath left behind.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 Materials:https://edition.cnn.com/2022/12/03/us/athena-strand-kidnapping-death-man-arrested  https://www.missinginillinois.org/post/athena-presley-monroe-strand-7-december-2-2022-paradise-texas https://www.fox4news.com/news/what-does-an-athena-alert-mean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9wTHj7-mxE  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmb_7VNC53E  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sj3kpeR4Y4o&t=12s https://people.com/crime/driver-accused-killing-athena-strand-charged-with-child-sexual-assault/ https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/remember-athena-strand-mothers-plea-at-vigil-for-7-year-old-killed-in-wise-county/3142531/ https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/crime/athena-strand-timeline-latest-about-missing-7-year-old/287-dac7e636-74bc-4f45-ade0-230aea9f74f0 https://www.facebook.com/cnn/posts/an-investigation-determined-that-tanner-lynn-horner-allegedly-sexually-assaulted/10163280251026509  https://www.bryanfagan.com/blog/2024/02/the-murder-of-athena-from-disappearance-to-heartbreaking-resolution https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/crime/article292417704.html#storylink=cpy https://www.fox4news.com/news/athena-strands-tanner-horner-murder-trial-movedhttps://www.wfaa.com/article/news/crime/tanner-horner-murder-trial-athena-strand-venue-tarrant-county/287-7e598837-0e47-47d9-bbd4-33f5f0698e47 https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/crime/trail-date-pushed-back-for-tanner-horner-accused-of-kidnapping-murdering-7-year-old-athena-strand/287-3d7a4b19-bc9e-4d0a-8223-3a3edef1ec04 https://www.wfaa.com/video/news/local/athena-strand-funeral-service-7-year-old-included-custom-pink-casket-favorite-disney-songs/287-74204a18-f9b8-4437-9e25-93a8046b4029 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Ip285hcJI&t=1s https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/tanner-horner-athena-strand-case-indicted-on-capital-murder-charges/287-01708fc7-3332-4035-8ae6-86aedb842311 https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/athena-strand-missing-7-year-old-girl-found-in-wise-county https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/athena-strand-tanner-horner-wise-county-murder-b2239323.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up9NUXqyguc&t=13s https://www.bryanfagan.com/blog/2024/02/the-murder-of-athena-from-disappearance-to-heartbreaking-resolution/https://www.wbap.com/trial-delayed-for-man-accused-of-kidnapping-murdering-7-year-old-athena-strand-2/https://www.fox4news.com/news/athena-strand-tanner-horner-court-appearance?https://www.fox4news.com/news/athena-strand-tanner-horner-murder https://abc13.com/post/athena-strand-update-case-killer-tanner-horner-death-penalty/12868794/ https://newsroom.fedex.com/fedex-statement-regarding-athena-strandhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/athena-strand-maitlyn-gandy-tanner-horner-texas-b2238415.htmlhttps://lawandcrime.com/crime/fedex-driver-strangled-7-year-old-girl-with-his-bare-hands-in-the-back-of-delivery-van-after-attempts-to-break-her-neck-failed-affidavit/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/athena-strand-autopsy-report-fedex-driver-kidnapping-b2240376.html

This week, Drewby and Yergy head down to Kissimmee, Florida, to discuss the case of Madeline Soto, a 13-year-old girl who had her whole life ahead of her. That as until her mother's ex-boyfriend, Stephan Sterns, strangled her, drove to McDonald's with her body, and then discarded Madeline in a wooded area. But what was found on Stephan's electronic devices proved that he'd been victimizing poor Madeline for years...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 Materials:https://www.courttv.com/title/madeline-soto-murder-court-tv-discusses-cameras-at-apartment-complexhttps://www.fox35orlando.com/news/my-heart-aches-knowing-you-will-be-13-forever-family-of-maddie-soto-speakshttps://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2025/03/01/its-been-1-year-since-madeline-sotos-body-was-found-heres-the-timeline-of-her-case/?utmhttps://www.fox35orlando.com/news/madeline-soto-new-police-interviews-stephan-Stephan-jennifer-soto-from-hours-after-teen-went-missinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKqkIVYRcmwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqcDwHOm0eUhttps://www.youtube.com/live/W54fZ6-77mohttps://www.wesh.com/article/madeline-soto-mother-stephan-Stephan-documents/61068785https://www.wesh.com/article/new-documents-detail-abuse-madeline-soto-stephan-Stephan/61089536https://gavinfish.com/blog/2024/06/19/friends-and-teachers-highlight-red-flags-in-madeline-soto-case-39109/?utmhttps://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/news/2024/08/29/orange-county-medical-examiner-says-madeline-soto-was-strangled-to-death#:~:text=Medical%20Examiner%20says%20Madeline%20Soto%20was%20strangled%20to%20deathhttps://x.com/Network4Missing/status/1763741606996320590?lang=ar-x-fm&utmhttps://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/FLCIKISS/bulletins/3901dfdhttps://ground.news/article/madeline-soto-case-new-documents-reveal-the-victim-showed-signs-of-abusehttps://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2024/05/16/abnormal-security-video-google-drive-led-to-stephan-Stephan-arrest-in-madeline-soto-case-documents-showhttps://www.courttv.com/news/police-stephan-Stephan-sexually-abused-madeline-soto-for-yearshttps://www.fox35orlando.com/news/stephan-Stephan-sentenced-maddie-soto-remarkshttps://www.fox35orlando.com/news/new-details-released-death-madeline-soto-one-year-since-initial-reporthttps://www.youtube.com/live/W54fZ6-77mohttps://audioboom.com/posts/8566104-how-did-jen-soto-not-see-the-signs-of-maddie-soto-s-abuse-at-the-hands-of-stephan-sternshttps://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2024/03/02/the-sweetest-person-candlelit-vigil-held-for-madeline-soto-after-body-foundhttps://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2024/09/19/new-video-shows-detectives-questioning-stephan-Stephan-after-disappearance-of-madeline-sotohttps://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2025/07/21/stephan-sterns-man-accused-of-killing-13-year-old-madeline-soto-expected-to-enter-new-pleahttps://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/news/2024/04/14/vigil-held-for-madeline-soto-near-body-discovery-sitehttps://www.fox35orlando.com/news/florida-osceola-county-madeline-soto-case-remembering-teen-old-one-year-later-accused-killer-prepares-trialhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XHSzyvAbrohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0qkOi_JADs&t=30shttps://www.wesh.com/article/vigil-madeline-soto-osceola-county/60488839https://www.wesh.com/article/madeline-sotos-sexual-abuse-not-evil-new-docs-show/61947675?utm_https://www.clickorlando.com/news/investigators/2024/09/10/a-closer-look-at-madeline-sotos-home-and-what-investigators-found-therehttps://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/search-missing-florida-13-year-old-ongoing-mothers-boyfriend-arrested-rcna141157

In January of 2022, a shocking case out of New Mexico stunned the nation. Surveillance cameras captured 18-year-old Alexis Avila tossing her newborn baby into a dumpster... alone, wrapped in a dirty towel, and left for dead.
