The Horrifying Case of Katie McCarron

<p>This week, Drewby and Yergy travel to Morton, Illinois, to discuss the case of Katherine &quot;Katie&quot; McCarron, a 3-year-old autistic girl who was killed by her mother, Karen Frank-McCarron, a former pathologist, who suffocated the child with a plastic garbage bag. According to trial records and confessions, Karen drove Katie to her parents&#39; empty home and held a plastic bag over the toddler&#39;s head for about two minutes until she stopped struggling. In a disturbing series of actions immediately following the murder, she drove Katie&#39;s body back to their own home, placed her in bed to make it look like she was napping, went to a local store to buy herself ice cream, and then returned to her parents&#39; house to remove the garbage bag to conceal evidence. In a videotaped confession, Karen stated she wanted to &quot;fix&quot; her daughter, saying, &quot;Maybe I could fix her this way, and in heaven she would be complete.&quot; She expressed immense guilt and frustration over her daughter&#39;s autism, mistakenly blaming herself for allowing Katie to receive childhood vaccines, and told investigators she &quot;just wanted autism out of my life.&quot;</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.
