Case 206: Julio & Candra Torres

Just a small point, but after death examination of animals is called necropsy, the term autopsy is specifically for humans.

Hi Paige - try closing all applications, restarting device, and opening only the app you want to hear Casefile on. If using a browser to listen, make sure you clear the cache and close all other websites.

Hi Paige, have you tried restarting or maybe using another app than Patreon to play it? It works ok when we test it.

Casefile True Crime

Thanks Casefile! Haven't heard this case before and what an interesting one at that! I'm surprised they were in fact able to get a conviction since they didn't have much in the way of reliable witnesses or physical evidence.

Living in Massachusetts, I actually have heard it pronounced with a hard J. It's a regional thing, as I've been told.

Demi

The episode cuts out for me at 35 minutes. There’s no sound after that 😢

Paige N

Well living in Portland I've never heard it pronounced that way. Inclusivity is more important than your sensitive feelings.

Mikhail Komarov

I just watched a clip of Candra speaking with Elizabeth Smart and she does indeed say Julio with a J. Our trusty anonymous host is rarely wrong.

Lisa Davies

Is this what all the comments on patreon are going to be about now? I feel I can trust Casey to put the effort in to figuring out the correct pronunciation of people's names... Rant over

La Ura

Could be. If Candra or her mother says "Julio" with a J then yeah, must be an exception to the rule

Mikhail Komarov

I totally had the same reaction, but I checked out the Forensic Files episode they referenced (it's on YouTube) and they also say "JOO-lio"! I've never heard that pronunciation before, but perhaps it's correct in this case?

Tiffany Pedigo

Yes, it's pronounced Hoo-lio. I give our Anonymous Host a pass on the pronunciation. We don't know what we don't know. Next time, I can guarantee a correct pronunciation of a Spanish name!

FELICIA

Is it supposed to be pronounced "hoo-lio"? In Spanish J's are usually as an H sound.

Mikhail Komarov

I've taken issue before with the way you guys have spoken about polygraphs, so I just want to thank you for the clear and blunt way you described them in this episode! Being straightforward about the fact that lie detectors do not detect lies is so important in helping end their ongoing use by law enforcement, and I'm so glad to see Casefile take this approach. And I'm also very thankful to hear the balanced critical discussion of Stockholm Syndrome as well. Excellent work as always, guys!

AR

Yeah, I’m three minutes into it and also picked up on that. It sounds very strange to my ears
