Casefile Extra: Greg Fleniken
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?
Casefile Extra features bonus episodes exploring compelling cases, stories and topics beyond our regular weekly releases.

Fascinating.. I had heard about this case, but when my friend told me about it sounded like an urban legend or something from much longer ago.. I didn't even realise it was the same case for so long. Wonderful to hear the details
Talk about wrong place, wrong time. I am enjoying the "extra" series!
I can't understand how Mueller shot towards a colleague, assuming from hip or shoulder height, but the trajectory was upwards into the next room hitting the victim in the groin while laying on the bed. Wouldn't it be downward?
I don't think I have ever heard of this one before. This case would be great for a movie or series. I can just picture the incredible scene of Dr. Brown and Ken Brennan going over the photos and realizing the injuries were from a gun shot.
I remember this case being on forensic filessss
damn. that was a good one. lance mueller is a loser
I absolutely loved this episode. I knew of Ken Brennan from "The Case of the Vanishing Blonde" and was fascinated by his investigation skills. Thank you for covering this case!
Loved this episode
The forensics on this one were wild. I wasn't expecting to see another Texas case to pop up. Hello from Austin!
Fascinating investigation this one, I genuinely believed it was going to be unsolved, and was relieved that it wasn’t. I don’t think of Lance as a killer, but do believe he deserved his prison sentence for being so careless and reckless and disregarding Greg’s life.
Thank you for the update. This year has been so good 🙌
I loved this episode, I could listen in one session, it was mysterious, well written and had a great outcome. I definitelyI prefer these shorter ones. Enjoy your 'break' team...
Greg has to be the unluckiest man in the world
You guys are doing great 👍👍🏆🏆
There is one question that wasn't addressed. What happened to the bullet? Was there an exit wound?
I assumed, because they weren’t looking for a bullet at the time, that it went unnoticed and was cremated with him. Maybe they scattered his ashes not knowing?
It’s the three week ‘break period’. During the next three weeks, you will be getting two previously unreleased episodes. We have changed the name of these to ‘Casefile Extra’. You will also get one re recorded episode from our first year. We have changed the name of these to ‘Casefile Revisited’. We changed the names because a lot of people weren’t quite grasping the Archives concept, which was leading to unnecessary negativity. Hopefully these new names make things much clearer. And remember, in previous years there wouldn’t have been any releases at all during this break period. PS. Extra and Revisited are not Patreon exclusive. They will be ad free and one week early on Patreon.
You guys used to always do three weeks on one week off; not sure when everyone got so negative and greedy! Thanks heaps as always
At the start of the year we had 9 releases before the first break. Since then there have been 8 more. This is most likely the next break. Also the 17 releases is exactly half of the 34 we are supposed to be getting this year, so it makes sense to have the break now.
You know, you don’t have to keep listening if it bothers you so much.
Where’s the new episode? 😩
New episode should be case 348 and the description of this talks about “room 348” 😂 🕵️ 🤔
So are we not getting the usual week ahead ep this week?
Sorry team, I forgot about the small breaks instead of the big ones 😅 love u casefile ur doing amazing
What is Casefile extra? Is it patreon exclusive content like premium episodes were?
Is this instead of the regular episode this week?
