    Hello listeners.

    This week's episode, Case 306, Ina & David Steiner, will be our final episode for 2024. We'll be back soon with new episodes in February, but for now, the Casefile team will be busy behind the scenes preparing for next year's releases.

    The team at Casefile would like to thank each and every one of you for your time, feedback, and ongoing support. It's hard to believe that we're about to embark on our tenth year of the show while being stronger than ever. None of this would have been possible without our audience, and we are so incredibly grateful to each and every listener.

    A special thank you as well to all of our premium supporters, whose contributions go a long way to supporting Casefile.

    Finally, the entire Casefile team would like to wish everybody a very Merry Christmas, happy holidays and a safe and happy new year.

    Case 306: Ina & David Steiner
    Nov 30 2024
    In 1999, Ina and David Steiner founded an online newsletter called eCommerceBytes. The couple worked hard to establish themselves as knowledgeable, trustworthy and unbiased reporters in the e-commerce industry and were well respected by their niche community. Then in 2019, eCommerceBytes received a scathing message from a Twitter user who took issue with how Ina Steiner reported on the U.S multinational e-commerce company eBay.

  • Case 301: Michella Welch & Jennifer Bastian

    Case 301: Michella Welch & Jennifer Bastian
    Oct 26 2024
    *** Content warnings: Child sexual assault, child murder ***

    In 1986, two pre-teen girls from Tacoma, Washington, were abducted and murdered mere months apart. Both Michella Welch and Jennifer Bastian were attacked, sexually assaulted and killed after cycling to a public park. Their crime scenes were eerily similar; both bodies were hidden in wooded areas, and the girls even looked alike. Investigators were quick to rule the slayings were the work of a serial killer… But it would take more than 30 years for the shocking truth to come out.
