Case 337: Test A.rtf (Part 1/4)

Another beautifully scored episode. The team behind this show is supremely talented.

BTK?!!! OMG!! What a welcome back this is!!! 👏🏼👏🏼 I wish I could say I understand the title though

I didn’t play this when it came out as I thought the title was a glitch 😂I’m so glad I pressed play! I’ve missed you guys, well done brilliant series opener for the year!

Epic return! Great work on the score as well, Andrew.

So happy you're back 😍

Can anyone explain why The BTK story has this weird title for the episode? 😅

Missed you and so glad you’re back!! Raised my eyebrows at the title before glancing at the story to come - love it, very clever. Major case to return with and great first episode. Excited you’re covering it!

So glad you're back! Best true crime docs.

You know you have far too much information about True Crime when you identify a case merely from an Otero entering an empty house. And I’m happy to pay however much for the quality Casefile provides.

Officer LaMunyon, we meet again.

You guys went all out on the most fucked up case ro open with for 2026

Started listening to this case on another podcast recently, glad I stopped and get to listen to it here instead. So much better and more informative.

I missed you so much, I’ve been a loyal listener for years and years, I literally squealed when I saw you were back!! So excited you’re covering this case.

Totally forgot this would come a week early so was a very pleasant surprise! This was a great episode, classic Casefile storytelling - I am SO excited to hear the next episode.

This was vintage Casefile work!

I was wondering about the title of this episode and then it hit me about 5 minutes in..... I see what you did there!

The title and the timing makes it seem like this was leaked hahaha.

BTK has always been a terrifying one for me. Here we go!!

Loveeee your work

I’m so happy you’re back!!!!! Made my weekend!!!

In response to comments below: Given the ridiculously low cost of these episodes, it's time some people switched their thinking from "how much can I get for my money" to "how can I help Casefile to continue producing quality episodes". I have been here for 7 years, and there have been no inflationary rises. $5 today is worth only $4 in 2019 values (in Australia). And 2020 had only one more release than is due this year. I would be prepared to opt-in to a higher rate if one was made available, without expecting any more content. Just wondering how many others would be willing to do the same? On another issue, I have raised the possibility of Casefile returning to 3 episodes every 4 weeks. I would prefer this monthly break to getting two long breaks each year. For me, the issue is not the number of episodes but their distribution over the year. Again, anyone in agreement?

This was a great episode! Thank you

Welcome back 🥳 I thought return date was 7th so I am a bit excited

I’m so confused about the title. Was the episode accidentally uploaded with the wrong title or is it supposed to be that?

Although familiar with the BTK story, I'm looking forward to hearing you guys cover it.

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾you were sorely missed guys.. welcome back Casey xx

So so happy you are back!

Sadly I knew exactly what case this was by the name — but I’m not sad about Casefile covering it. Wow, what a fantastic first episode. Cannot wait until next week!

Welcome back!!!!!!!!!! What a series to come back on too!!!

So happy the team is back !!

I immediately knew what case this is. This is about to be quite a ride.

Yay welcome back

Welcome back y'all. Did you attend many gigs over the break, if so, which was your fave?

Ahhh Crime Weekly only recently deep dived into BTK 😭 Will still tune in ofc

Excellent choice of case - told in a different way to the standard true crime mode. Welcome back!

And right after Murder in America released their exhaustive series on BTK. I will still listen to all of these anyway.

So happy to have y'all back 💛

!!

Oh shit!!!! Nice to be back and off with a heavy hitter!

ahhhhhhh welcome back! now will I have the stamina to wait another four weeks for the whole series to drop before I listen! 😂😂😂

Imagine you're a cop that's too stupid to catch the guy who's too stupid to know what metadata is (and too stupid to ask someone other than *the people who are trying to catch him*).

4 pt BTK series?? Hell yesss Casey!!

Welcome back 😁

Oh my goodness what an episode

Aaaah. Test A.rtf, one of my favorite true crime stories.

WELCOME BACK

HELLLLL YEAH

WOOHOOO 🙌

I had this in my diary for next week! How exciting

Excited to have you back

BTK!!! Finally!

LETS FUKKEN GOOOOOO

BTK!

The file name tho

I guess I'll assume that the title is not an error until I know otherwise. Looks like I'll be kept in suspense for 4 weeks ... unless you surprise us with a double episode for the start of the year.

Yippie!!!

we’re back, baby!!! 🥰🖤🚔

Here we go!!!

We’re back! Yesss! 😍
