Case 170: The Caffey Family
🕑 Added 2021-03-20 08:10:37 +0000 UTCAt the entry to one property, Max, a black labrador waits patiently. He’s a loyal dog who takes it upon himself to protect his family at all costs. Max sits next to the remains of what was once a beloved family home. There is rubble everywhere and some embers are still hot on his paw pads as he walks through the ashes.

I’ve finally heard two words I feel uncomfortable hearing in a Casefile episode: Piers Morgan 😂

I wasn’t familiar but as soon as I heard the details of the crime scene I thought “hang on a second...” and then when the twist was revealed I gasped and said aloud, “No WAY!” 100% agree, I constantly feel like my Casefile Patreon membership is the best money I spend!!

That surprised me when I heard it, I assume it’s the same Piers Morgan from the recent Meghan Markle tantrum drama?
Captain Flint
I thought this case sounded familiar - then realized why - it was on Piers Morgan Killer Women. Crazy, sad case.

Another great episode. Reminded me in some ways of Jennifer Pan and The Gonzales Family.

SO good! I remember Terry's story from the show "I survived" but this was such a well-done, thorough cover of a crazy story

To be clear: I’m not blaming the family by any means. They truly thought what was doing best, and from their framework they were acting reasonably. I think that many of those communities praise the hyper-isolation of young people. That warps the mind. That doesn’t excuse the crime by any means. It just creates a familiar pattern that was extreme in this case

(Spoilers) Idk about non Americans, but as an American with a familiar with evangelism, the twist wasn’t a big surprise. Great episode tho! I like the narration from the victims’ perspective most. The mystery angle is what makes it really engaging

I know this case well and I still felt that tension when the twist came. The storytelling of this case, that I find incredibly baffling, was masterful. You guys are the absolute best at what you do.

Wow this episode is insane! Great work team!
