Casefile Extra: Greg Fleniken

Casefile Extra features bonus episodes exploring compelling cases, stories and topics beyond our regular weekly releases. When 55-year-old Greg Fleniken was found dead inside his hotel room in Beaumont, Texas, nothing about the scene appeared suspicious. There were no signs of forced entry, no obvious wounds, and no indication of a struggle. At first, it seemed Greg had died suddenly from natural causes. But an autopsy revealed something far more troubling. Greg had suffered catastrophic internal injuries, leading investigators to treat his death as a homicide. The problem was that nothing inside Room 348 explained how those injuries had occurred. With no clear suspect, no apparent motive, and a crime scene that made little sense, the case quickly reached a dead end. What had happened inside Room 348? --- Narration – Anonymous Host [https://www.instagram.com/caseys.snaps/] Research & writing – Matthew Dawe Production & music – Mike Migas [http://mikemigas.com/] Audio editing – Anthony Telfer Sign up for Casefile Premium: * Apple Premium [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/casefile-true-crime/id998568017?ign-itscg=30200S&ign-itsct=casefile_podcasts] * Spotify Premium [https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/9gSwcv7USsb] * Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/casefile] For all credits and sources, please visit https://casefilepodcast.com/casefile-extra-greg-fleniken [https://casefilepodcast.com/casefile-extra-greg-fleniken] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Case 345: The Barking Murders

*** Content warnings: Sexual assault, drug use, suicide, homophobia *** Over a 16-month period between 2014 and 2015, four young men—Anthony Walgate, Gabriel Kovari, Daniel Whitworth and Jack Taylor—each died under unusual circumstances in the East London suburb of Barking. While the police initially palmed the deaths off as isolated incidents, the families of the four men believed something suspicious was at play. All of the men had been found near or in a churchyard, all had died from dangerously high levels of GHB, and none had a reason to be in the area. When CCTV footage forced detectives to revisit the evidence, what they uncovered was shocking. --- Narration – Anonymous Host [https://www.instagram.com/caseys.snaps/] Research & writing – Elsha McGill Production & music – Mike Migas [http://mikemigas.com/] Audio editing – Anthony Telfer Sign up for Casefile Premium: * Apple Premium [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/casefile-true-crime/id998568017?ign-itscg=30200S&ign-itsct=casefile_podcasts] * Spotify Premium [https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/9gSwcv7USsb] * Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/casefile] For all credits and sources, please visit https://casefilepodcast.com/case-345-the-barking-murders [https://casefilepodcast.com/case-345-the-barking-murders] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Case 344: Amerithrax

In the tense weeks following the September 11 terror attacks in 2001, a new and invisible threat emerged across the United States.
