Casefile True Crime

To our loyal Casefile listeners, that time of year is upon us again. This is just a heads-up to let you know that the show will be taking a short break, with our final episode of 2023 dropping on the main feed on Saturday December 2nd. But don't worry, we're not going anywhere - the Casefile team will be busy working behind the scenes in the meantime, with brand new episodes out in early February 2024.



From myself and the entire Casefile team, we'd like to extend a massive thank you to each and every one of our loyal listeners. It's your ongoing support that allows us to keep doing what we do best and we couldn't do this without you. Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday season, and all the best for the new year ahead. Be sure to blast those punk and metal Christmas albums, and we'll see you in February.

In May 2021, residents of the affluent Athens suburb of Glyka Nera were left shaken by news of a violent home invasion. Three masked intruders had killed 19-year-old Caroline Crouch as she slept beside her 11-month-old daughter before ransacking the house. 



Caroline’s husband, Babis Anagnostopoulos, was the only witness, but he’d been bound and blindfolded during the attack. The desperate search for those responsible led investigators down a path no one saw coming.
