The Case of Markie Mason

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to New Castle, Pennsylvania, to discuss the case of Markie Mason, an 8-year-old boy who was murdered by his mom's new boyfriend, 43-year-old Keith Lamont Burley Jr, whom she had met on the prison pen pal website, WriteAPrisoner.com. After a headed argument, Keith kidnapped Markie and his younger brother, and brought him to a trap house, where he proceeded to stab Markie 146 times in front of his little brother.
