Case 187: Peter & Joan Porco

As Peter retrieved the key and used it to re-enter the house, large droplets of blood dotted the porch steps. He left the key in the lock and let the door close behind him, though it remained slightly ajar. Peter took a few steps back towards the kitchen, but was unable to stand upright any longer. He collapsed forward, landing at the foot of the staircase.

Case 186: The Bowraville Murders

Tap, tap, tap.

Muriel Craig heard a gentle knocking at the window as she bustled around her kitchen, cleaning the mess leftover from that evening’s meal. It was around 9 o’clock and completely dark out. Muriel looked up. It sounded like someone was rapping on the window from outside, but she couldn’t see anybody standing there.

Case 185: Kim Chol

When Siti Aisyah and Doan Thi Huong were offered the chance to star on a prank show that aired on YouTube, the young women thought it was the opportunity of a lifetime. All they had to do was approach strangers on the street and rub oil on their faces. Although the practical jokes seemed bizarre, the job paid well and was easy work.

Patreon Picks #10: The Glendale Train Crash

A few minutes into her shift, a thunderous roar blasted through the building, causing the entire warehouse to shake. Within moments, the area fell eerily silent. Jenny stopped what she was doing and looked anxiously at those around her. Once their shock had worn off, the workers rushed out to investigate the source of the frightening noise.

Case 184: Gay Gibson

Eileen left the glass of orange juice on top of the chest and left to attend to other duties. When she returned in 20 minutes to collect the empty glass, she was surprised to find it full and exactly where she’d left it. There was still no sign of Gay. And there was something else, too. Looking over at the bed’s rumpled sheets, Eileen noticed several small stains that were the colour of rust.

Case 183: The MacKenzie Family

As he got closer, a wave of horror washed over him. From inside the car, Dina became hysterical and screamed for her husband to get back in. Ron ran and leapt into the driver's seat, slamming the door behind him. He grasped the wheel and pressed his foot down on the accelerator. The couple sped off back down the driveway, leaving a cloud of dust in their wake.

Case 182: Freda Burnell & Florence Little

As the dull skies gave way to night, people were still searching. They were joined by the town crier, who paraded up and down the main street, shouting the name of the eight-year-old girl who had vanished from town that morning: “Freda Burnell! Freda Burnell!”

Case 181: The Vampire of Nuremberg

During the early 1970s, cemeteries and mortuaries throughout Germany were targeted by a particularly disturbing grave robber dubbed ‘The Vampire of Nuremberg.’ Not only did he steal the personal belongings of the dead, but The Vampire also exhumed, mutilated, molested, and gnawed upon the bodies. In some cases, he arranged the desecrated corpses in ritualistic scenes, frightening those who came across them.

Tax/VAT/GST change for Canada, Thailand, Florida and Kansas

Hi everyone,

We wanted to give you a heads up about a small change to required tax on pledges. Patreon already adds sales tax/VAT/GST to pledges from patrons in most US states and several other countries—anywhere that’s required by law. They’re now required to start adding tax in a few new places: Canada (other than Quebec where Patreon already charges QST), Thailand, Florida, and Kansas.  If you live in one of those places, you should see a small amount of tax added to your...

Casefile Break (message from the team)

Hi everyone, Mike here.

We want to let you know that Casefile will be taking a short, unexpected break while our beloved host recovers from a medical issue. We should be back to our usual schedule very soon.  Maybe a few weeks.

The latest Casefile Presents podcast series, The Invisible Hand, is set for a release on the 1st, so we will still do that. After that, there will be a few weeks off from the episodes.

We will let our listeners know about the break next ...

Christie knew that Chand had been struggling lately, but she couldn’t have anticipated what he said next. Her heart sank as he stated: “I put 40 pills into a drink and I’ve crushed them all. And if you don’t get to my house within 10 minutes, I’m gonna drink them.”

Episode numbering on the Patreon exclusive RSS feed

Hello all. When we announced the Patreon Picks episodes earlier this year, we mentioned that the episodes would eventually find their way onto our main feed, as we don't like to keep cases behind a paywall.

Case 177: 657 Boulevard

Married couple Derek and Maria Broaddus were house hunting when a property in the affluent neighbourhood of Westfield, New Jersey immediately caught their attention. 657 Boulevard was a striking six bedroom, four bathroom Dutch Colonial style home that was the perfect place to raise their family – or so they thought.

Patreon Picks #8: The Sodder Children

A light sleeper, Jennie was disrupted again 30 minutes later at around 1 am on Christmas morning.  What sounded like a hard rubber ball landed on the tar and wood roof of the family’s cottage. It rolled down the roof. Then there was silence.  Exhausted, Jennie ignored the noise, rolling over and going back to sleep.
