Case 206: Julio & Candra Torres
Oregon City attorney, James O’Leary, was in his office on Tuesday, July 27 1976 when a man and woman entered wishing to speak to him. Disheveled and exhausted, they had just emerged from the Mount Hood National Forest after a weekend spent camping and fishing in the wilderness. They planned to speak to the police regarding a tragedy that had happened there, but were apprehensive about doing so without seeking legal advice first.

The thing about names is, you can pronounce them and/or spell them any way you bloody well like. People in different places pronounce Julio both ways, but if a person chooses to have their name pronounced Anton, while spelling it Julio, that is their right. Sports announcers often check with the players in order that they pronounce the names as desired. I think most responsible reporters do that, as well. In any case, it seems such an insignificant, trifle, little thing to worry about
Just a small point, but after death examination of animals is called necropsy, the term autopsy is specifically for humans.
Thanks Casefile! Haven't heard this case before and what an interesting one at that! I'm surprised they were in fact able to get a conviction since they didn't have much in the way of reliable witnesses or physical evidence.
The episode cuts out for me at 35 minutes. There’s no sound after that 😢
Hi Paige, have you tried restarting or maybe using another app than Patreon to play it? It works ok when we test it.
Well living in Portland I've never heard it pronounced that way. Inclusivity is more important than your sensitive feelings.
Living in Massachusetts, I actually have heard it pronounced with a hard J. It's a regional thing, as I've been told.
Is this what all the comments on patreon are going to be about now? I feel I can trust Casey to put the effort in to figuring out the correct pronunciation of people's names... Rant over
Could be. If Candra or her mother says "Julio" with a J then yeah, must be an exception to the rule
I just watched a clip of Candra speaking with Elizabeth Smart and she does indeed say Julio with a J. Our trusty anonymous host is rarely wrong.
Is it supposed to be pronounced "hoo-lio"? In Spanish J's are usually as an H sound.
Yes, it's pronounced Hoo-lio. I give our Anonymous Host a pass on the pronunciation. We don't know what we don't know. Next time, I can guarantee a correct pronunciation of a Spanish name!
I've taken issue before with the way you guys have spoken about polygraphs, so I just want to thank you for the clear and blunt way you described them in this episode! Being straightforward about the fact that lie detectors do not detect lies is so important in helping end their ongoing use by law enforcement, and I'm so glad to see Casefile take this approach. And I'm also very thankful to hear the balanced critical discussion of Stockholm Syndrome as well. Excellent work as always, guys!
