About this episode

The episode discusses the case of Anne Mae Demegillo, who left her newborn to drown in a toilet, raising questions about the circumstances and motivations behind the incident.

A welfare check leads deputies to a backyard and a discovery no one expected. Investigators say a newborn was born alive inside a home, but never taken to a hospital, never reported, and never given a chance. Instead, what unfolded over the next 24 hours is now the center of a criminal case; authorities say the baby could have survived. Now, the question isn’t just what happened, but why. This is the Florida Man Friday case of Anne Mae Demegillo. ************************************** Do you have thoughts about this case, or is there a specific true crime case you’d like to hear about?
