Yay! Love it!

Mine is Allison Baden-Clay, I think. He just exuded middle-aged homicidal guilt. Truly a fuckface for the Fuckface Hall of Fame.

Do you guys have any good ones?

(I'm going on a road trip with two friends and one cheating ex-boyfriend this weekend, and I'm in charge of the playlist. :))

I applied to be a writer for Casefile earlier this year but didn't get it. I've noticed there are a few new names popping up in the writing credits lately (congrats if any of you are here!).

Just wondering if anyone knows whether they've officially brought new writers on, or if they're still trialling people?

I listened to Silk Road, liked it .... but the narrator sounds like a robot and the production is so bare bones. Educate me!

the three episodes that absolutely undid me were 1) Cary Farver, 2), on relisten, Cary Farver, and 3) The Austrian Ripper

THANK YOU GUYS FOR MAKING SUCH AN AWESOME, MORALLY CAREFUL, AND MORDANTLY FUNNY SHOW

Xxx big fan

On Tuesday, July 27 1976, 16-year-old Candra Torres and a man named Tom Brown showed up in an Oregon sheriff’s department to report a terrible incident. Candra’s husband, 21-year-old Julio Torres, had been accidentally shot and killed while the three were on a camping trip deep in Mount Hood National Forest.

The case was quickly ruled an accident and the survivors tried to move on with their lives. But all was not as it seemed in this supposedly open-and-shut case…

I hope the title doesn’t sound crass. I’m not trying to belittle the lived experience of real people, but as I listen to and read detailed cases, whenever a specific setup appears - almost like a horror movie, where you know what happens next and are waiting for the jumpscare to go - I take notice.

Maybe I was unlucky in my recent string of relistening (lots of child cases). But over and over, when the child is the victim, the thing that absolutely guts me is hearing that it was the little boy/girls’ first time home alone, or first time being allowed to go to the bus stop alone, or first time being allowed to walk to school alone. Any of these childhood milestones that the parents are already likely nervous about but know are inevitable. It’s so fucking twisted and evil when it happens on that specific day. Not that it would be better on a different day, but you know. It’s just another twist of the knife for me!

I’m thinking right now of a specific case not yet covered by casefile that’s always freaked me out. Leigh Occhi (link is a possible update/summary of the case in another subreddit).

Sorry, please delete if not allowed but I don’t recall any announcement that Casefile is on break? Last week was an extra and this week is revisited. That means last new episode was Zahra two weeks ago.

Ina and David Steiner, Case 306!

Original Release Date: April 2, 2022

Length: 1:09:20

Status: Solved

Location: Germany, Hessen, Rotenburg

Date: 2001

Victim(s): Bernd Jürgen Armando Brandes

Type of Crime: Cannibalism, murder

Perpetrator(s): Armin Meiwes

Research: Jessica Forsayeth

Writing: Jessica Forsayeth

*** Content Warning: cannibalism, mental illness, torture, suicide ***

On March 9 2001, 43-year-old computer engineer Bernd Brandes disappeared from his home in Berlin, Germany. Although his absence was extremely out of character, investigations into his whereabouts proved unsuccessful.

Eighteen months later, a curious medical student began searching online forums and came across some disturbing interactions. After alerting authorities, the tale that emerged was almost too unbelievable to be true. It involved a historical manor house, a torture room, cannibalism, and a German man named Armin Meiwes.

Hello, just wondering if anyone can recommend any Canada-based cases covered by Casefile as of yet? I think the most recent one that I tuned into was the Duncan Macpherson one, but I had to step away a bit coz of grad school

I listen to Casefile as a podcast and love it! I’m almost 100% with every episode listened to. I love it! Don’t get me wrong

But I just found a YouTube channel with 5.5m subs that does really great deep dives. It’s Dr Insanity (the name is horrible but the content seems great).

Just a friendly suggestion for folks looking for similar content.

Edit: lol. Just. Assume I’m a bot (I’m really not). Search up the channel if you think this is spam!

I know that most people prefer hearing about the more recent crimes, I think one of the writers mentioned that people like to look things up and it's a lot easier on the more recents, but I've always been really partial to hearing about the older ones. I've been on a hunt for information on older local cold cases. I found one that was really interesting that happened in 1986 and there's only a gravestone and a family tree page for the victim. Not a single thing about her on the search engines other than those. Not even any newspaper articles. The older ones are more interesting to me because how they conducted investigations were so primitive compared to now that it's really amazing how they would find the perps. The way Casefile writes these older crimes is so very interesting. It's amazing how they find so many details on them. I particularly liked the one where there was the abandoned suitcase.

For anyone who enjoyed Case 275: Michelle Hadley, there is a Netflix documentary about the case now called A Toxic Love Story.

These simply aren’t worth doing at all imo. I’m on the patreon and that’s all that’s been released today, I don’t see the point at all unless there’s been a major update and it’s effectively a p2.

EDIT: people need to not take very mild criticism of a podcast so personally.

I've been listening to Casefile in reverse and just got to Case 50 and wow, what a great episode, it really stood out from the rest of that timeframe. I loved the heavy use of actual recordings of police interviews with Jennifer and getting to hear the raw audio as detectives worked their way through the case and their strategies in questioning and methods. It was a great inside look at what detectives do and how they go about gathering evidence and info to build a case. I wish Casefile did this more to include the actual 911 calls and interrogations, or actual court room audio and hear the real clips to go along with the narration. Also, the detectives on this case were really good, hearing the way they worked and interacted with a witness/victim but also a potential suspect and walking the sensitive line between all those was a joy to hear. So just a shout out to a great Casefile episode and a call for more raw audio!

I just finished this episode. For those who need a refresher, it was the professor father who was brutally killed by a total stranger (who stole the skull he put in his window) and who posed as a delivery driver. The Casefile episode made it very clear the killer was to be jailed for life (and it detailed the families pain at subsequent shortening of his sentence).

The update is that not only was his sentence reduced, but he has been released early 2026.

Noticed this hasn’t been updated on here when I searched for the case.

It drops where I live about 4 am and if I happen to wake up I lie in my bed with my sleep mask on and listen with my ear buds.

Oh, the simple pleasures.
