   (Re-Release) Episode 148: Alexavier Pedrin (Part 3)

   Note: This episode was originally released on June 7, 2023. Over the last two episodes, I told you the story of Alexavier Pedrin, whose six years were marred by family turmoil, alleged abuse and neglect, and CPS involvement. On February 11, 2023, Alexavier was found dead in his family’s rented home in Medary, Wisconsin with multiple inflicted injuries and Xanax in his system. Three months later, his father’s girlfriend, 31-year-old Josie Dikeman, was finally arrested and charged with Alexavier’s murder. For this episode, I had the honor of speaking with two close members of Alexavier’s maternal family: his cousin, Raven Holzer, and his aunt, Annie Anderson, who are dedicated to keeping Alexavier’s memory alive, giving him a voice, and protecting other kids like Alexavier. This is part three of the infuriating story of Alexavier Pedrin.

   (Re-Release) Episode 147: Alexavier Pedrin (Part 2)

   Note: This episode was originally released on June 2, 2023. In the last episode, I began telling you the story of six-year-old Alexavier Pedrin, whose short life was filled with constant family turmoil and frequent involvement by various CPS agencies in his home state of Wisconsin and others. After Alexavier’s mom went to prison, his father eventually stopped letting her side of the family see their son, allowing the abuse and neglect Alexavier allegedly suffered at the hands of his father’s girlfriend run rampant. In this episode, I’ll tell you about the police’s welfare check on Alexavier the night before his death; the circumstances surrounding his death on February 11, 2023; the resulting police investigation, and the very recent arrest of a woman who took the responsibility for caring for Alexavier but never should have been allowed near children in the first place. This is part two of the infuriating story of Alexavier Pedrin.
