On a cold December night in 2017, police responded to the Sports Stadium Motel in Independence, Missouri, where 21 year old Libby Caswell was found dead inside Room 319. Her death was quickly ruled a suicide, even as the medical examiner listed the manner of death as undetermined and key surveillance footage from the motel went missing. Libby was a young mother trying to leave a dangerous relationship, and her family has spent years challenging the official findings. In this episode, we look closely at the scene, the inconsistencies in the timeline, the documented history of domestic violence, and the critical evidence that may have been overlooked. This is the case of Libby Caswell and the fight for answers that has never stopped.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse, you can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233, text START to 88788, or visit thehotline.org. If it’s not safe to use your own phone or device, consider using a public library or another trusted public location to access help.

Closed as Suicide: The Unanswered Questions in Libby Caswell’s Death

Southern Oregon is known for its stunning summer landscapes, remote forests, and quiet mountain towns. But in the beauty of Josephine County, isolation and danger often live side by side. In late June of 2020, 45-year-old Fauna Frey set out on a short drive through Grants Pass and the surrounding mountain roads, a route filled with winding highways, dense forests, and long stretches with no cell service. Somewhere along that journey, Fauna vanished without a trace.

In this episode, Ashley and Ricky explore the rural communities of Southern Oregon, where abandoned mining towns, thinly stretched law enforcement, and high crime rates create the perfect environment for disappearances to go unnoticed. Her car, her belongings, and a series of strange clues left investigators puzzled and her family desperate for answers.

This is the story of a woman who went missing on a warm June afternoon in 2020, a case that blends mystery, isolation, and the harsh realities of searching for a missing person in Oregon’s most rugged terrain. If you follow missing persons cases, unsolved disappearances, rural true crime, or stories centered around Southern Oregon and Josephine County, this episode will take you deep into one of the region’s most haunting mysteries.

Listen as we break down the timeline, the evidence, the environment, and the theories surrounding the disappearance of Fauna Frey.

 If you know anything, please contact the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office tip line at 541-359-5638, or email FindFaunaFrey@gmail.com. You can also visit the private community page on Facebook, Help Find Fauna Frey to watch for updates in her case.

Where is Fauna Frey? Missing in Southern Oregon | Josephine County

In the summer of 1983, 27-year-old Teresa “Terry” Peroni disappeared from a remote counterculture community in rural Oregon. For years, rumors circulated about communes, drugs, and the controlling man she had last been seen with. Her family searched, asked questions, and followed every lead, but Terry’s trail went cold. Her name slowly faded from public memory.

In 1997, human remains were discovered in the Oregon wilderness, but they were never linked to Terry. It wasn’t until 2024, more than four decades after she vanished, that new forensic technology finally confirmed the truth. Her remains were identified. The case was reopened. And the man long suspected in her disappearance was arrested across state lines.

This episode follows Terry’s journey for independence, the dangerous world she stepped into, the failures that allowed her case to go cold, and the small group of people who refused to let her story be forgotten.

Teresa “Terry” Peroni: Missing 1983. Found 1997. Identified 2024.

In January 2011, 27-year-old teacher Ellen Greenberg was found dead in her Philadelphia apartment, Unit 603 at the Venice Lofts. The swing-bar lock was secured from the inside, yet Ellen had been stabbed twenty times, including deep wounds to the back of her neck. Her fiancé discovered her body and called 911, but within days investigators changed the medical examiner’s original homicide ruling to suicide. More than a decade later, experts, forensic pathologists, and Ellen’s parents are still fighting to answer the question that has haunted Philadelphia ever since: How could a locked-room suicide look so much like murder?
