The Case Horrifying Case of Alivia Naomi Hobbs-Jordan
<p>This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Decatur, Georgia, to discuss the case of 7-year-old Alivia Hobbs-Jordan, who tragically died after being deliberately abandoned by her biological mother, Alondra Hobbs. In June 2023, DeKalb County police responded to a 911 call from an anonymous neighbor reporting a foul odor and a deceased child inside a vacant unit at the Hidden Valley Apartments. Upon investigating, officers discovered Alivia's mummified remains strapped into a stroller hidden inside a bedroom closet. Investigators determined that Alivia, who had autism and cerebral palsy, had been buckled into the stroller and shut in the closet months earlier, between February and June 2023. Her mother had completely moved out of the apartment, leaving Alivia behind with no intention of returning. To cover up the crime, the mother told family members and neighbors that Alivia was staying with her father's side of the family. Autopsy reports indicated that Alivia died from severe starvation and dehydration. Alondra Hobbs was arrested in late June 2023. During police interrogations, she admitted to abandoning the child, claiming that her life had become "too much." Presiding Judge LaTisha Dear Jackson sentenced Hobbs to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Additional details from court records noted that Alivia had never received proper medical treatment for her medical conditions, and Alondra had continued to collect the child's government disability checks after abandoning her.</p><p><br /></p><p>👩⚕️🩺Taking care of your health just got easier, thanks to my sponsor Zocdoc — start here at:https://zocdoc.com/miserymachine</p><p><br /></p><p>Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachine</p><p>Join Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1</p><p>PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachine</p><p>Official Merch Store: https://miserymachine-shop.fourthwall.com/</p><p>Instagram: miserymachinepodcast</p><p>Twitter: misery_podcast</p><p><br /></p><p>#documentary #themiserymachine #truecrime </p><p><br /></p><p>🚨 EDUCATIONAL, DOCUMENTARY, SCIENTIFIC, OR ARTISTIC CONTENT DISCLAIMER 🚨</p><p>CONTENT WARNING: THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT A SENSITIVE TOPIC INVOLVING LOSS OF LIFE.
