This has been the most comprehensive telling to date of Raylee’s story, with details you haven’t heard anywhere else. In this episode, you’ll hear my conversation with Janice Wriston, Raylee’s only mommy, who fought tooth and nail for Raylee and begged various government agencies for help that never came. Janice has been to hell and back since meeting Marty Browning Jr. in 2008. Now, six years after her daughter was cruelly ripped away, Janice is finally ready to tell the world her truth, and Raylee’s. This is the conclusion of the harrowing story of Raylee Browning, retold.

I’ll tell you about the outcome of that trial. I’ll also share with you a little about who Raylee JoLynn Browning was, mainly through her loving mommy’s recollections of her.

    Episode 189: Raylee Browning, Retold (Part 2)

    Get Magic Mind’s “24-hour bundle” for 45% off using my link! https://www.magicmind.com/LAINEJAN  Last week, I started telling you the story of eight-year-old Raylee Browning, who died in the home of her father, his girlfriend, and the woman’s sister after years of unthinkable abuse. Raylee’s death was infuriatingly preventable if only CPS and the family court judge hadn’t ignored countless abuse complaints from Raylee’s mom and school staff. In this episode, we’ll go over the results of Raylee’s autopsy and the shocking number of medications she was prescribed. I’ll talk about how and why Marty Browning Jr., Julie Titchenell, and Sherie Titchenell put just Raylee, one of four kids in the home, through years of abuse and neglect. I’ll go through the shocking statements one of Julie’s children made to a counselor, cementing the three adults’ criminal charges. Finally, I’ll also discuss proposed legislation that would protect many homeschooled kids from abuse and why, almost four years after its proposal, it still hasn’t been passed by the West Virginia State Senate. This is part two of the harrowing story of Raylee Browning.

    Episode 188: Raylee Browning, Retold (Part 1)

    Get your Magic Mind here: https://magicmind.com/LAINE20 You get 20% off for a one-time purchase and up to 48% off for subscriptions with my code: LAINE20 In Episode 4, I told you about Raylee Browning: a little girl who died on December 26, 2018. Although she was covered with injuries from head to toe, her cause of death was a septic infection from untreated pneumonia. The three adults in the home—Raylee’s father, his girlfriend, and her sister—were charged in her death. That episode barely scratched the surface. Now, I’m retelling Raylee’s full story with the help of her mom, Janice Wriston, who fought for Raylee’s entire eight years to protect her daughter from the girl’s own father, Marty Browning Jr. The way the press told the story, Marty was a negligent father who merely failed to protect his daughter. The truth about Marty is far darker than that. This is the story of a sweet, loving little girl whose mom called her Sunshine. It’s also a story about the horrific abuse Marty inflicted on first Janice and then Raylee, and how he managed to become entwined with a pair of sisters just as narcissistic and abusive as himself, ultimately leading to his only child’s painful and unnecessary death. This is part one of the harrowing story of Raylee Browning.

Since I'm no longer creating these, I’ll occasionally release them to the public for all my listeners to enjoy. I didn’t realize until I re-listened how fast I talked back then; sorry about that!* On the morning of February 28, 2020, a young mother summoned Milwaukee police to her home, where her 4-year-old daughter, Autumn Horak, was unresponsive. Autumn, who was pronounced dead at the scene, was found wearing only a diaper and covered in injuries, including multiple bruises, a burn, and even a human bite mark.

    Episode 187: Arianna Starkey (Part 2)

    Last week, I told you the story of two-year-old Arianna Starkey, whose father, Austin Starkey, failed to protect her from his homicidal girlfriend, Destani Neel. Both Austin and Destani were sentenced to prison for their roles in Arianna’s brutal death. Arianna’s death hit her family hard, and it’s taken some time for her maternal grandmother, Christina Justice, to be ready to tell her story. In this episode, you’ll hear my conversation with Christina, who told me about how she and her daughter, Arianna’s mom, Kassie, have dealt with their loss, as well as the questions that remain unanswered about the case and who their precious Ari was. This is part 2 of the harrowing story of Arianna Starkey.
