E151 | Things That Go Bump in the Night

In September 2006, 16-year-old Cassie Jo Stoddart was housesitting for relatives in Bannock County, Idaho, when what should have been an ordinary weekend turned into a nightmare. She was brutally murdered by two classmates who had carefully planned the attack, filming themselves before and after the crime in what would later be known as the “Scream murder.” In this episode of Criminal Mischief, we unravel the shocking details of Cassie’s murder, the disturbing psychology of her killers, and the chilling role horror films played in their twisted fantasy. We’ll also examine the investigation that brought them to justice and the lasting impact of this case.
