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 Warning This episode discusses real-life disappearances and may include themes that are unsettling to some listeners.

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.

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?

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.

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? ⚠️ Trigger Warning This episode includes discussions of death, exposure to extreme conditions, and mental health.

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. ☕ Support Case by Case If you’d like to support the work we do, you can do so here: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/casexcasepod 🛍️ Merch Store: https://casexcase.printify 💬 Join the Conversation Be part of our Case by Case discussion group on Facebook — where we share updates, break down cases, and hear your thoughts:

In this episode, we’re taking a step back into the legal side of the Delphi Murders — specifically, the appeal. Now, I’ll be honest with you… this part of the process can get confusing fast. Appeals aren’t about re-trying the case or introducing new evidence. They’re about one question: did something go wrong during the trial that could have affected the outcome? We’re going to walk through the key arguments being raised, how the state has responded, and what all of this actually means moving forward. Because not everything filed in an appeal is as impactful as it sounds. And not every argument leads to a new trial. So if you’ve been trying to follow along and found yourself getting lost in legal language — this episode is for you. We’re breaking it down in plain terms, focusing on what matters, and leaving out what doesn’t. 🎙️ CaseXCase Podcast Real cases. Real conversations.

In this episode of CaseXCase, we break down the closing arguments and verdict in the Kelsey Fitzsimmons trial, a bench trial out of North Andover, Massachusetts, where a police officer was accused of assaulting fellow officers during the service of a 209A protection order. After hearing testimony from both sides — including Kelsey Fitzsimmons herself — the judge delivered a verdict of not guilty. In this episode, we walk through: • The key points made during closing arguments by both the prosecution and the defense • How the judge likely evaluated the conflicting testimony and lack of physical evidence • The role Kelsey Fitzsimmons’ testimony played in the outcome • Why this case ultimately came down to what happened in just a few seconds inside the home • What this verdict means moving forward With no jury and no body camera footage, this case relied heavily on credibility, intent, and reasonable doubt — and in the end, the court found that the state did not meet its burden. 🎧 This concludes our daily coverage of the Kelsey Fitzsimmons trial on CaseXCase.

In this three-part series, we’re taking a deeper look into one of the most pivotal cases in modern true crime history — Columbine. In the first episode, we broke down what happened on April 20, 1999 — the timeline, the warning signs, and the missed opportunities. But this case doesn’t stop there. In our second episode, we shifted our focus to what came after. We examined the aftermath — the investigations, the questions that surfaced, and the information that began to reshape how we understand what happened. We’ll talk about what was uncovered, what was overlooked, and how Columbine became a blueprint for so many cases that followed. Because Columbine didn’t just change the lives of those directly involved. It changed everything. And as we move forward, we start asking the harder questions — the ones that still don’t have clear answers. ⚠️ Trigger Warning This episode discusses a real-life mass casualty event and includes references to violence, disturbing behavior, and sensitive subject matter.

In this episode of CaseXCase, we break down Day 3 of the Kelsey Fitzsimmons trial, a bench trial out of North Andover, Massachusetts, where a police officer is accused of assaulting fellow officers during the service of a 209A protection order. With no jury and no body camera footage, this case continues to hinge on testimony, credibility, and what happened during a matter of seconds inside the home. On Day 3, Kelsey Fitzsimmons took the stand, providing her account of the events for the first time and addressing the critical moments leading up to the shooting. In this episode, we walk through: • Kelsey Fitzsimmons’ testimony that her intent was to harm herself, not officers • Her admission that she lied about the location of the firearms and why • Her description of raising the gun toward her head and never pointing it at officers • Statements she made after being shot and how they support the defense theory • Testimony that she did not expect Justin Aylaian to be present in the home • The emotional context surrounding the loss of her child, home, and even her dog • Observations about the cross-examination and what was — and was not — addressed • Why her testimony may be the most critical piece of evidence in the entire case With both sides now resting, the case is moving toward closing arguments, where each side will present their final interpretation of the evidence. 🎧 CaseXCase will continue covering this trial with daily recaps, breaking down testimony, evidence, and legal strategy as it unfolds in court.

In this episode of CaseXCase, we break down Day 2 of the Kelsey Fitzsimmons trial, a bench trial out of North Andover, Massachusetts, where a police officer is accused of assaulting fellow officers during the service of a 209A protection order. With no jury and no body camera footage, this case continues to hinge on testimony, credibility, and what happened during a matter of seconds inside the home. On Day 2, the court heard the cross-examination of Officer Noonan, the officer who fired the shot, along with testimony from additional witnesses that helped build out the timeline — even if some of it did not significantly move the case forward. In this episode, we walk through: • Key moments from the cross-examination of Officer Noonan, including questions about distance, training, and prior statements • Testimony revealing Noonan had referred to Kelsey Fitzsimmons as a “whack job” • Details about Noonan’s prior working relationship with Kelsey and how that was brought out by the defense • Testimony from additional witnesses, including a friend of Kelsey’s and their involvement leading up to the restraining order • Repeated references to Kelsey parking down the street — and why that detail may or may not matter • The role of the firearms expert and foundational testimony presented by the state • Observations about which witnesses advanced the case — and which did not Day 2 may not have been the most dramatic day in court, but it continued to build the record and brought important credibility issues into focus. With the state indicating they may call one final witness before resting, this case may be moving toward the defense’s case — and potentially closing arguments later this week. 🎧 CaseXCase will continue covering this trial with daily recaps, breaking down testimony, evidence, and legal strategy as it unfolds in court.

In this episode of CaseXCase, we break down Day 1 of the Kelsey Fitzsimmons trial, a bench trial out of North Andover, Massachusetts, where a police officer is accused of assaulting fellow officers during the service of a 209A protection order. With no jury and no body camera footage, this case is already shaping up to hinge on testimony, credibility, and what happened during a matter of seconds inside the home. On Day 1, the court heard opening statements from both sides, along with testimony from multiple officers and key witnesses, including Justin Aylaian, whose testimony raised several important questions. In this episode, we walk through: • The prosecution’s version of events during the service of the protection order • The defense’s claim that Kelsey Fitzsimmons was attempting to harm herself, not officers • Testimony describing the scene as calm before the shooting • The timeline involving the removal of the baby from the home • Key moments from Justin Aylaian’s testimony, including questions surrounding his actions and credibility • The lack of body camera footage and what that means for the case • Early questions surrounding the physical evidence involving the firearm This case is expected to turn on what happened in just a few seconds inside the home, and with conflicting narratives already emerging, Day 1 sets the stage for a closely watched trial. 🎧 CaseXCase will continue covering this trial with daily recaps, breaking down testimony, evidence, and legal strategy as it unfolds in court.

In this episode of CaseXCase, we take a close look at the upcoming trial of Kelsey Fitzsimmons, a North Andover, Massachusetts police officer who was shot by fellow officers while they were serving a 209A protection order at her home. According to investigators, Fitzsimmons produced a firearm and attempted to fire it at officers before being shot. But the case raises serious questions — including the absence of body camera footage and conflicting accounts of what happened inside the home. Before the trial begins, we break down what the court filings reveal so far, including: • Allegations involving Fitzsimmons’ former fiancé • Evidence related to postpartum depression • The lack of body camera footage • The physical evidence involving the firearm • And what the defense may argue actually happened that day Once jury selection begins, CaseXCase will be covering this trial with daily recaps, starting with the opening statements and continuing throughout the testimony.

In this episode of CaseXCase, we take a detailed look at the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, an 84-year-old woman who vanished from her home in the Catalina Foothills near Tucson, Arizona. Six weeks into the investigation, there are still no arrests, no confirmed suspect, and no confirmed location for Nancy. But a great deal has happened behind the scenes. We break down the investigation week by week, including: • The night Nancy disappeared and the surveillance footage of a masked suspect • The strange ransom messages sent to media outlets • Evidence recovered at the home • The gloves that briefly became a potential lead • Online criticism of how the investigation was handled • The growing questions investigators are still trying to answer We also discuss the theories investigators have considered and the major questions that remain unanswered.

In this episode of CaseXCase, we take a look at the case that for years was known simply as the Long Island Serial Killer investigation. Many people had heard the term LISK, but never fully understood the story behind it. After the 2023 arrest of Rex Heuermann, the case returned to the national spotlight and renewed questions about the murders connected to Gilgo Beach and the remains discovered along Ocean Parkway. In this episode, we step back and look at what we actually know right now — how the investigation began, who the victims were, the controversy surrounding the early investigation, and why the Gilgo Beach case may still have unanswered questions as it moves toward trial. ⚠️ Trigger Warning This episode discusses violent crime, murder, and sensitive topics that may be disturbing to some listeners.

Missing Person: Madison Fields (Colerain Township, Ohio) Madison Fields is a 16-year-old girl from Colerain Township, Ohio, who has been missing since February 13, 2026. She was last seen in the afternoon around 4 p.m. leaving the InTown Suites on Colerain Avenue, where her family was temporarily staying. Surveillance footage shows her walking on nearby streets before she disappeared. Her family reported that she left home on foot and was not heard from again; her phone has been dead since the time she went missing, and it has not been trackable. Circumstances of Disappearance According to her family, Madison told her younger sister she was planning to meet someone she had been messaging online. The person — identified only as “Josh” — was described to family members as an 18-year-old contact she met on an anonymous encrypted messaging app called “Session.” Her parents say they do not know this person, and no one in her school circle knows anyone by that name.

In May 1985, seventeen-year-old Shari Faye Smith was abducted from the end of her driveway in broad daylight. What followed was not only a brutal murder, but a prolonged campaign of psychological torment against her family. Through phone calls, letters, and manipulation, the crime didn’t end with Shari’s disappearance — it expanded, pulling her loved ones into the nightmare and forcing them to endure it in real time. This episode examines the case from the perspective of the family left behind — especially Shari’s sister, Dawn — who was placed in an impossible position and compelled to participate in the investigation while the crime was still unfolding. It is a story of loss, endurance, and the lasting impact of a crime designed not just to kill, but to torment. As always, we ask that discussions remain respectful.
