Cases That Haunt Me: The Murder of Stacey Colbert

In this episode of Case Uncovered, I’m introducing a new monthly series called Cases That Haunt Me. These are cases that have stayed with me long after the research ends. They are cases I have personally spent time investigating, cases where I have connected with the friends and family of the victim, and cases where the lack of answers still weighs heavily on everyone who loved them. Today I am revisiting the murder of Stacey Colbert. Stacey was a 23 year old marketing assistant living in Columbus, Ohio when a terrifying incident inside her apartment in March of 1998 changed everything. What began as an ordinary weekend quickly turned into a mystery that has haunted investigators, friends, and family for decades...I previously covered Stacey’s case in depth on Season 1 of The Unseen Truth, where I shared interviews with her friends, family members, and the detective on her case. If you want to dive deeper into the investigation and hear those conversations, you can listen to the full series wherever you listen to podcasts.
