FROM THE VAULT: Alonzo Brooks

Jacques Mossler

This week, we’re giving you an inside look at what we cover over on our Patreon—where, if you’re caught up on regular episodes and craving more, we dive into additional cases, including some that have already reached a verdict… but still leave questions behind. In this episode, we take you back to 1964 and into one of the most sensational true crime cases in American history—the murder of Jacques Mossler. Set against a backdrop of wealth, power, and high society, this case quickly spirals into something far more shocking. A brutal killing. A forbidden relationship that makes headlines across the nation. And a courtroom battle so filled with scandal that it drew comparisons to the biggest trials in history long before cable news existed. As the story unfolds, what emerges is not just a question of who committed the crime—but whether justice can truly be served when money, influence, and public perception collide. Because even when a case seems to have all the pieces… that doesn’t always mean the truth wins.

FROM THE VAULT: Alonzo Brooks

Alonzo Brooks and several friends decided, on April 3rd, 2004, to drive close to an hour away to attend a party at a farmhouse in LaCygne, Kansas. All of the close to one hundred party-goers made it home the next day… except for one— Alonzo Brooks. Someone took Alonzo’s life that night. But who? And why?

The Greenbrier Ghost

Some stories don’t stay neatly in one world. In the late 1800s, a young woman in rural West Virginia died suddenly, her death quickly ruled natural and her case all but closed. But her mother refused to accept that explanation—and what she claimed next would change everything. She said her daughter came back to her… and told her the truth. What followed is one of the most unusual cases in American history. Want more cases, bonus episodes, and behind-the-scenes content?

Anthonette Cayedito

In the early morning hours of April 6, 1986, 4th-grader Anthonette Cayedito along with her two younger sisters settled into bed after their mom returned home and the babysitter left. By the next morning, Anthonette was gone. In a case with potential sightings, a 911 call, and recollections of an early morning visitor to the home, we are hopeful that, with the right information, this case can be solved.

FROM THE VAULT: Prisma Denisse Peralta Reyes

When Prisma Peralta Reyes left for her lunchbreak on April 17th, 2019, she drove to meet up with an ex-boyfriend. However, the day (already bad due to an argument with a coworker) got even worse when another argument ensued with her ex. Rather than go back to work after lunch, Prisma proceeded to make several subsequent decisions that were either out of character or unexplainable. It’s those choices that make those who knew her wonder WHY she acted in those ways. And now, even more importantly, WHERE the actions of that day led her, as Prisma’s whereabouts are still unknown.  Please also consider supporting Coffee and Cases by joining us over on our Patreon page!
