The Infuriating Case of Chayson Colley

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Washington state to discuss the tragic case of Chayson Troy Colley. Chayson was born in Aberdeen, Washington, and was remembered by his family as a joyful, active toddler. According to his family, he loved playing outside, running through puddles, chasing and being chased, and dancing to the "Hot Diggity Dog Song" from the Mickey Mouse Club. He also enjoyed spending time on his grandfather's farm, playing with toys, and imitating adults with electronic devices like cell phones and tablets. Chayson passed away in Tacoma, Washington, on March 30, 2013. An autopsy later revealed that he had suffered fatal blows to his head and torso, along with extensive internal and external injuries. Following an investigation, Jake Musga pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and first-degree rape of a child in connection with Chayson's death. Investigators noted that the child's mother, Laura Elizabeth Colley, and Jake, had failed to seek necessary medical attention for the extensive bruising Chayson suffered prior to his death.
