The Case of Jayden Lopez

The Misery Machine

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Galveston, Texas, to discuss the case of Jayden Alexander Lopez, who was known to the community as "Little Jacob" after his body washed ashore in Galveston Bay in 2017. With the help of forensic sketch artist, Lois Gibson, as well as a shocking photograph of the dead child's face that was released to the public, detectives were able to track down "Little Jacob's" caretakers - his mother, Rebecca Suzanne Rivera, and her girlfriend, Dania Amezquita Gomez.
