A Bit of Background:

• In September 2006, 16-year-old Cassie Stoddart went to her aunt’s house to dog-sit, and soon after arriving, she saw the lights flicker and heard strange noises.
• When her family returned, they found Cassie brutally stabbed to death.
• Police narrowed in on a set of unlikely suspects and a shocking video tape that breaks the case wide open.
• Initially, investigators didn't know who had killed Cassie. Her body was discovered on September 24, 2006, after the owners of the house returned.
• Investigators quickly focused on the two suspects because they had been among the last people known to have been with Cassie.
• Their behavior after the killing also raised suspicion.
• During interviews, investigators obtained conflicting accounts, and eventually evidence from the videotapes helped establish what had happened.
• All of this will likely be explained, and more, in the special podcast.
