The Case of Victoria Stafford

The Misery Machine

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Canada to discuss one of the country's most tragic stories... the senseless and brutal murder of Victoria "Tori" Stafford. Tori was a spunky little girl who loved Hannah Montana and dressing up for Halloween. Her favorite color was purple, and she had an older brother named Daryn who loved her very much. On April 8th, 2009, Tori was walking home from school when she was approached by 18-year-old Terri-Lynne McClintic, who offered to show her a Shih Tzu puppy. Instead, she and her boyfriend, 28-year-old Michael Rafferty abducted the little girl, after which she was raped, murdered, and dumped beneath a rock pile in a remote location.
