The Case of Melony Rose Granados

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Arizona, to discuss the case of Melony Rose Granados, a young girl who lived with her mother, grandmother, and 4 other siblings in a small townhome in Tempe. Melony was born with myoclonic atonic epilepsy and was developmentally delayed. It's said that she had the mental capacity of a 3-year-old. However, when her grandmother, 55-year-old Virginia Lujan couldn't handle Melony's special needs, rather than reach out for help, she allegedly caged her granddaughter... and let her slowly die in her own filth.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://www.thelancet.com/journals/laneur/article/PIIS1474-4422(25)00032-8/abstracthttps://www.google.com/search?q=myoclonic+atonic+epilepsy&rlz=1C1VIQF_enUS1084US1084&oq=Myoclonic+atonic+epilepsy&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgAEAAYgAQyBwgAEAAYgAQyBwgBEAAYgAQyBwgCEAAYgAQyCAgDEAAYFhgeMggIBBAAGBYYHjIICAUQABgWGB4yCAgGEAAYFhgeMggIBxAAGBYYHjIICAgQABgWGB4yCAgJEAAYFhge0gEHNDg5ajBqNKgCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8https://disability-memorial.org/melony-granadoshttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/grandmother-charged-in-disabled-teen-s-death-after-13-year-old-was-kept-in-a-cage/ar-AA1xRy0Shttps://scallywagandvagabond.com/2025/01/13-year-old-az-girl-kept-in-cage-grandmother-mom-virginia-lujan-jami-hodges-arrested-after-she-dies/?fbclid=IwY2xjawL7HxRleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHi4-tTm-OgLauTMS7kCGwaUTb2kZTLIOyDpvt2QpOUDmm7GhbhhekRrK8WnU_aem_AoheXDqiBgIVeZ-DmFOU2Qhttps://www.google.com/maps/place/E+Carter+Dr+%26+S+Mill+Ave,+Tempe,+AZ+85282/@33.3838971,-111.942326,17.53z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x872b061d59afd5fb:0x1494c8328ce3461!8m2!3d33.3832805!4d-111.9394486!16s%2Fg%2F11f342f7ql?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDczMC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3Dhttps://www.fresnobee.com/news/nation-world/national/article299035885.htmlhttps://www.tempe.gov/Home/Components/News/News/18132/1546https://www.facebook.com/jami1416https://www.facebook.com/jami.hodges.5/https://littlethings.com/lifestyle/grandmother-charged-disabled-teens-death-cage-arizonahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwWgscF8IYAhttps://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/tempe/2025/01/25/tempe-girl-13-died-grandmother-is-now-a-suspect-here-is-what-we-know/77931211007/https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/tempe/2025/01/25/tempe-girl-13-died-grandmother-is-now-a-suspect-here-is-what-we-know/77931211007/https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFMQ6VuNYkd/https://www.facebook.com/groups/661671761602462/posts/1241884413581191/https://www.tempenews.com/news/tempe-grandmother-indicted-in-caged-teen-s-death/article_13835b46-e5aa-11ef-b858-2f2261e1da4c.htmlhttps://www.yahoo.com/news/grandmother-indicted-granddaughter-found-grossly-130329514.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAND4w6r7_1Viuz5CYtp0yRhiVvdSO82Lz9oWWxvWqKs4iqnUDNzOb9oaSCCCUrj6VUkZjnmlD_KyJ_MTm3msXAEF4dq9thmLcC94PoPJWuNeQ5WV2hWs18ILbDTdAFjD4L3kTVhulCnOQdFlWp301fZa3BRW5dSlwisddwNhuyEihttps://www.ahwatukee.com/news/police-probe-caged-tempe-teen-s-death/article_f51454fc-dd03-11ef-99af-0b87d1eb2efa.htmlhttps://maricopacountyattorney.org/DocumentCenter/View/3682/Virginia-Lujan-Indictmenthttps://maricopacountyattorney.org/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=1161https://www.the-sun.com/news/13372620/disabled-girl-abused-death-forced-live-makeshift-caged-bed/https://www.abc15.com/news/crime/mother-grandmother-arrested-in-connection-to-death-of-13-year-old-girlhttps://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/court-docs-reveal-new-details-deadly-tempe-child-abuse-case-crime-fileshttps://www.azleg.gov/ars/13/03612.htmhttps://maricopacountyattorney.org/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=1161
