Welcome to the month of March's child advocacy case! Sofie tells Gabbi the tragic story of 4 year old Teghan Skiba of Raleigh, NC. Teghan, or "Teggy" - pronounced "teegy" - was left with her mother's boyfriend of 3 months while she went away for military training for 10 days. Her mother's boyfriend, Jonathan Douglas Richardson, took her to the North Carolina hospital at Chapel Hill after she had experienced blunt force trauma to the head from "jumping on furniture"... Doctors however discovered more injuries than many had ever seen on such a tiny human's body - including 66 bite marks along with various bruises, cuts, and even strangulation. It became clear that this was more than Teggy hitting her head, this was a brutal and painful murder. Why did this happen to her? And what happened to her killer? Listen in to find out.

Stay spooky, and don't be sh*tty.
