Case 317: Thomas Perez
When 71-year-old Thomas Perez Senior failed to return home after a short walk to his mailbox in Fontana, California, his son Tom wasn’t overly concerned. He suspected his father had just gone to visit friends or family and would return home of his own accord. But when police arrived at the Perez home to complete a missing person’s report, they came to suspect something else entirely.

Notttt the episode to go back re-listen to before bed lol 😡
Acab. Once I realized where this episode was going I had to stop listening. Still a forever fan, Casefile.
This is incredibly insane. Seriously all cops are bastards and you will never convince me otherwise. I feel so awful for these poor victims of state abuse.
On this episode of All Cops are Bastards, Anyway! I take psychiatric medications and have also been in situations where I did not have access to them and went through withdrawals. Even though I know that no police officer would ever care even a little bit, I maintain that depriving someone of their medication is torture, and depriving someone of psychiatric medication should be a felony *specifically* because of the symptoms that withdrawals cause.
What an awful country.
So Fontana, CA sounds like an absolutely horrible place. I wish nothing but the worst for the entire police dept
although the Fontana PD is no worse than any other in our nightmare hellscape of a country, Fontana itself does indeed suck.\
Two in one day?! Is it Christmas
Omg Margo no worse Christmas present ever 😭😭
I'm still traumatized from this one. Excited for the general public to hear it.
