You think so. I don’t. I’m not generally a fan of fake news about small states who are unable to defend themselves.

RFA is a good thing though.

What an odd one , that’s the first time I have not been able to pick the motive and then the perpetrator once all the characters have been introduced.

I loved the episode, but I unfortunately felt like the part about Radio Free Asia was very biased, almost like an advertisement. Radio Free Asia and its other “Radio Free” counterparts have several times published proven false news about several Asian nations, who have no power to correct the news being spread throughout the west like wildfire.

Another doozy! Great job team! I sat here for a moment before I started the episode thinking I knew the case. I did, but as usual, you all always knock it out of the park!

Casefile is ALWAYS better than the rest :)

one thing that I found interesting Victor immediately identifies the knife to the 911 dispatcher as "one of our knives" while also intimating that he isn't sure where the victim had been stabbed, confirming that he didn't know where the victim was stabbed because he wasn't in the room which he claimed to be too distressed to enter when instructed to check for breathing/wounds by the dispatcher.

Not one single person reacts, behaves or displays emotions in a comparable, reliable manner to any traumatic situation. It's not a scientific or conclusive way to judge or assess people in that moment or time. Not sure why Casefile includes these unreliable judgements.

———-SPOILER ALERT——————— Great podcast but such a sad case. A man is murdered and no one is held accountable out of the three and they were suppose to be good friends.

Rosie Overell

Wow - some lucky fellas there. Those three must be guilty. Thankyou for covering this case

The Casefile team have blown it away with the last two episodes. Such riveting storytelling, brilliant research and as always acknowledging the victims. Just amazing!

The writing of this episode is just… *chefs kiss*. What a horrific and devastating story.

As soon as I heard the 911 call, I was so glad casefile would be giving this case the proper storytelling it so often doesn’t get. Thank you, team!

@Bob. Me too. Wan? My question for AMA episode: under what circumstances can defendants opt out of a jury trial?

I wonder what "Wone" would have been in Chinese before it was bastardised by 4 generations of English. I'm thinking perhaps Yuan.

Man, I need to stop listening to other true crime podcasts as they spoil some episodes (like this one) from Casefile, which is a pitty because Casefile always does a way better job covering the story, but I can’t enjoy it fully knowing it too well:))

I would have liked to know how the Luminol was misused (or whatever the product was). Just because that seemed like a fairly damning piece of evidence. It's also notable to me that these guys had so much top-level defense support.

Joanne Paventa

I knew this story and was hoping maybe there was a new updated ending.

By pure coincidence I listened just yesterday to this case done by a different podcast. As ever, Casefile covered this with more detail, dignity and sensitivity and way less sensationalism than the other. Thank you Casefile, and yes, a truly frustrating case!

Storme

This story is so awful. Poor Robert.

Evan Stone

The woman and recording sound like Jennifer Pan’s phone call to police, minus the robbery aspect

This is one of the most frustrating cases I know; I'm so glad casefile did such a thorough treatment of it, even though there are still so many unanswered questions.
