In this episode of CaseXCase, we revisit the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie — a case that has gone quiet in the headlines, but not in the questions it leaves behind.
More than 90 days later, Nancy is still missing. What began as a possible medical emergency quickly shifted into something far more complex — with blood evidence, conflicting timelines, a suspicious video, and ransom notes that may or may not be real.
As we walk through what we know, what’s been reported, and what experts are now saying, one thing becomes clear:
This case doesn’t feel random.
From the strange behavior caught on camera… to the unanswered questions about the investigation… to the growing belief that there may be more than one person involved — this episode breaks down the details that don’t quite fit.
Because sometimes…
it’s not just what’s missing.
It’s what doesn’t make sense.
⚠️ Trigger WarningThis episode discusses a real-life missing persons case and includes references to potential violence, abduction, and distressing circumstances. Listener discretion is advised.

In 1922, six members of a family were brutally murdered on a remote farm in Bavaria, Germany — a case that would become known as the Hinterkaifeck murders.
For over a century, theories have focused on strange occurrences and eerie clues. But what if the truth is much simpler… and much more personal?
A hidden relationship.A child surrounded by questions.And a secret that may have pushed someone too far.
In this episode, we take a closer look at motive — and ask whether this was a mystery… or the price of a secret.

Step into one of the most mysterious regions in America — the Bennington Triangle.
Between 1945 and 1950, five people vanished without a trace in this area of southwestern Vermont. No clear answers. No confirmed suspects. Just a growing list of theories — from the rational to the unexplainable.
In this episode of Case by Case, we take a brief look at the disappearances that turned this quiet region into a decades-long mystery. What happened in those woods? And why has no one ever been able to explain it?
⚠️ Trigger WarningThis episode discusses real-life disappearances and may include themes that are unsettling to some listeners. Listener discretion is advised.

In this second recap of the sentencing trial, we learn more about the heartbreaking case of Athena Strand — a seven-year-old little girl whose life was taken in a matter of minutes outside her own home in Paradise, Texas.
This recap will cover the past few days, including the testimony of Athena's mother and so much more.
What should have been a normal afternoon turned into a nightmare, as investigators quickly uncovered the truth behind her disappearance and the man responsible.
Now, with Tanner Lynn Horner pleading guilty, the case has moved into the penalty phase — where a jury must decide his fate: life without parole, or the death penalty.
In this recap, we walk through the key moments from the courtroom so far, including the disturbing evidence, the shifting stories, and the unsettling behavior that continues to raise questions — including his use of an alter ego he calls “Zero.”
As the jury hears it all, one thing becomes clear: this is no longer about what happened.
It’s about what happens next.

In the early morning hours of August 9, 2013, Brandon Lawson made a 911 call that still doesn’t make sense.
He told dispatchers he was being chased. That people were after him. That something wasn’t right.
Then… he vanished.
What followed was a case filled with confusion, unanswered questions, and one of the most unsettling emergency calls ever recorded.
For years, no one knew what truly happened to Brandon Lawson.
Even now, with new developments and the discovery of his remains, questions still linger about what he experienced in those final moments.
Was he lost?Was he running from something real?Or was something else going on entirely?
This is Case by Case.

Join us as we revisit one of the most debated true crime cases of the modern era — The Staircase. A case with more questions than answers.
In 2001, Kathleen Peterson was found at the bottom of a staircase in her home by her husband, Michael Peterson. What appeared at first to be a tragic accident quickly became the center of intense scrutiny. The scene itself sparked countless theories, led to Michael’s arrest, and ultimately resulted in a conviction that continues to divide public opinion to this day.
This episode examines the facts, the theories, and the lingering doubts surrounding the case — and why so many people remain on the fence years later.
⚠️ Content Warning: This episode is intended for adults only. It is for educational purposes and is based on publicly available records. It discusses a real-world true crime case and may be distressing to some viewers.

Five men left a basketball game — and never made it home.
Their car was found nearly 70 miles in the wrong direction, deep in the mountains of Plumas National Forest — not out of gas, not stuck, and with no signs of a struggle.
But what was found next only raised more questions.
In this episode, we break down the timeline, the decisions, and the unsettling details behind the Yuba County Five — including why five men would leave the safety of their vehicle, walk into freezing conditions, and how one man may have survived for weeks.
What made them keep going… and why didn’t they turn back?

A jury has just found Meta Platforms and YouTube liable — not for content, but for how their platforms were designed.
In this episode, we break down the case, what the jury actually decided, and why this could be the beginning of a major shift in accountability — not just for individuals, but for the companies behind the tools we use every day.
Are we finally starting to hold everyone responsible?

Rumblings are growing louder in the case of Rex Heuerman.
In this episode, we break down what a potential plea could actually mean — not just for the case, but for the victims, the families, and the answers we may never get.
After seeing the backlash surrounding Bryan Kohberger and the lack of detailed explanation in that case, many are starting to ask the same question here:
If a plea happens… will we actually learn the truth?
We walk through the two possible scenarios — a straight guilty plea versus a negotiated deal — and why that distinction matters more than most people realize.
Because in cases like this, justice and answers don’t always come together.
And sometimes… closure comes at the cost of the full story.
