Case 223: The Kuřim Case
Eduard Trdý lived in the Czech Republic town of Kuřim. On Monday, May 7 2007, Eduard was home alone making some last-minute preparations. His partner had recently given birth, and Eduard was trying to set up a baby monitor before she and their baby daughter were discharged from the hospital. At around 11 AM, Eduard connected the device to his television. He scanned the channel selector, waiting for the live feed from the monitor’s video camera to show on the screen. An image did appear, but it wasn’t coming from inside Eduard’s home.

To everyone who enjoyed this episode or are curious about it; please read the Kurum Case book by Ryan Green. It goes into more depth and detail with more information and is a great read
What the actual fuck... Well done episode. I'm just wrecked by this case!
Cripes! This case is insane!
I will never look at a baby monitor the same way again 😑. What the hell 😳
Wow. But let me say I’m impressed with Casey’s pronunciations. Well done.
Insane case. Every turn I found my self asking “what the fuck???”
My heart sinks when I hear the disclaimer that this episode includes crimes against children. Had to listen to this one in chunks, too much to comprehend in one listen. Also, reminded me a little of the movie orphan, anyone else?
I googled this case and there’s a few YouTube video connections relating it to the orphan actually!
How do people like this exist? What the fuck did I just listen to?
I know. Nice name though ;)
JFC 😮😮😮😮
Yes this is the type of dark Casefile episodes that I love.
Such an incredibly shocking story. So well told!!
So awful but glad some was a lie. That woman was gay and the sister also. Clara suffered and her sons from two women and the brother. Yuk
What the hell are you on about...
I am once again utterly mindblown what a story. That was pure madness
This was tough to hear, also has there been an increase in cases involving children this year?
I also wondered about Barbora/Annicka's Norwegian connection. Did I hear correctly that she "showed up at the Czech Embassy with her father and lawyer" -- or did I mishear that? Her father? Who was her father? Wild. Like everyone else, I am left dumbfounded.
Absolutely insane case! Kudos to Holly- great organization to keep the twists coming. Does anyone know more about the connection with Norway? I’m assuming Barbora spoke Norwegian in order to create her alter-egos…? Seems so random.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Eduard and the police for taking that video feed seriously? My first thought was Eduard would be accused of abusing the boy himself or the police would think the whole story was too fantastical to be real because in the US, we hear way too many times children falling through the cracks. I'm so impressed the police didn't let up until the found the truth!
Yes them recognizing the song and listening through the wall to find the house playing it was next level!
Woah 🤯 what a case. Completely bonkers.
While the host gives their usual disclaimer for crimes against children and it is always appreciated, I'm want to add a big TW for child abuse. Yikes.
Agreed. When I post the teaser on the FB group feed, I’ll underscore to take his warning seriously. It was a tough listen but I was glad I stuck with it.
What did I just listen too...
