About
This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Florida to discuss the case of Joel Parks, a 30-year-old disabled man who was thriving in his community. That was until his grandmother, 87-year-old Lillian Parks, decided that Joel was better off dead than alive... all because he was disabled.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://disability-memorial.org/joel-parkshttps://www.addictioncenter.com/news/2019/10/florida-woman-kills-disabled-grandson-overdose/https://www.bradenton.com/news/local/crime/article235810342.htmlhttps://www.wfla.com/news/local-news/manatee-county/police-bradenton-woman-purposely-gave-grandson-drugs-to-overdose-charged-with-second-degree-murder/https://www.mysuncoast.com/2019/09/26/family-speaks-out-after-police-say-bradenton-disabled-man-is-murdered-by-grandmother/https://www.tampabay28.com/news/region-sarasota-manatee/grandma-charged-with-second-degree-murderhttps://www.forbes.com/sites/sarahkim/2019/09/26/87-year-old-murdered-disabled-grandson/https://www.fox13news.com/news/miracle-league-baseball-community-mourns-one-of-its-ownhttps://www.miamiherald.com/news/state/florida/article235455952.htmlhttps://nypost.com/2019/09/24/grandmother-admits-to-killing-disabled-grandson-with-drug-overdose-cops/https://www.wkrn.com/news/florida-woman-says-she-killed-disabled-grandson-by-overdose-fearing-no-one-would-care-for-him-after-she-died/https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/bradenton/name/joel-parks-obituary?id=9233313https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc-YpMxCerA&t=37shttps://www.facebook.com/Ilovemykids07081013161820https://www.facebook.com/toshia.fretzhttps://www.facebook.com/JAFretz1https://rudermanfoundation.org/white_papers/media-coverage-of-the-murder-of-people-with-disabilities-by-their-caregivers/
