WANTED: Justice for MMIP

In the summer of 1969, Stephanie Casberg walked out the front door of a Milwaukee restaurant after her waitressing shift — and was never seen alive again. Days later, her dismembered remains were found near a condemned bridge along the Root River, leaving investigators with a chilling conclusion: the work of someone methodical, skilled and patient. More than five decades later, the case has led detectives from a co-worker who lied his way into the narrative to a convicted child predator who terrorized his family by claiming to be the killer. More recently, a Crime Junkie episode playing through a detective's earbuds while he mowed his lawn added a new name to the case file. If you have any information about the murder of Stephanie Casberg, contact the Racine County Sheriff's Office at 262-636-3225. Anonymous tips can be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 888-636-9330 or by texting “RACS” and the tip to 274637.   Head over to our Crime Junkie YouTube channel to WATCH this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpY3toLPdqY Source materials for this episode cannot be listed here due to character limitations.

On Feb. 23, 2020, 6-year-old Joseph “Jo-Jo” King III was found unresponsive at home with his stepfather. The initial explanation was simple: he had accidentally suffocated inside a toy chest. But the toy chest was not airtight. Parts of the scene were wet. And the autopsy was later amended to include “concern for possible homicidal drowning.” Still, the manner of death remains undetermined. Jo-Jo’s stepfather is in prison for abusing him less than a year before his death, but no one has been charged in connection with how he died. So what really happened inside that house?   Head over to our Crime Junkie YouTube channel to WATCH this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lF910Rvjcw You can learn more about The Good segment and even submit a story of your own by visiting The Good page on our website!

In July 2015, Mary Yoder, a healthy 60-year-old chiropractor, went to work as usual. Later that day, she began feeling sick. Within 48 hours, she was dead. At first, her sudden decline seemed like a medical mystery. But investigators soon uncovered evidence of poisoning, launching a murder investigation that divided her family and the community. What appeared to be a clear path forward quickly grew more complicated. Detectives uncovered a digital trail they believed tied office manager Katie Conley to the purchase of the poison, setting off a high-stakes legal battle and creating new rifts among those closest to Mary. As people pointed fingers and different theories took hold, the case only grew more complicated, leaving questions about what really happened.   Head over to our Crime Junkie YouTube channel to WATCH this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWQS_gBiCm0 Source materials for this episode cannot be listed here due to character limitations.

In the 1980s and early 1990s, a serial predator targeted young girls in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. He wore a mask and left little evidence behind. Investigators described him as calm and calculating, earning him the nickname, “Mr. Cruel.” More than three decades later, he has never been caught.
