In June of 2023, 31-year-old Belgian traveler Céline Cremer was nearing the end of her time in Tasmania when she set out for what should have been a manageable walk near Philosopher Falls, a rainforest trail in the island’s remote northwest. She never made it back to her car. For more than two years, Céline’s disappearance left behind more questions than answers. How does someone vanish so completely on a short trail? Why did early searches find nothing? What does the evidence tell us about her final movements? And while the strongest evidence may point in one direction, should we ever become so fixed on one theory that we stop considering other possibilities? This case is recent—so recent that some of the most important discoveries were made only weeks ago. In our case this week, we walk through the beauty, danger, timeline, search efforts, and unanswered questions in the case of Céline Cremer.

This week, we’re giving you an inside look at what we cover over on our Patreon—where, if you’re caught up on regular episodes and craving more, we dive into additional cases, including some that have already reached a verdict… but still leave questions behind. In this episode, we take you back to 1964 and into one of the most sensational true crime cases in American history—the murder of Jacques Mossler. Set against a backdrop of wealth, power, and high society, this case quickly spirals into something far more shocking. A brutal killing. A forbidden relationship that makes headlines across the nation. And a courtroom battle so filled with scandal that it drew comparisons to the biggest trials in history long before cable news existed. As the story unfolds, what emerges is not just a question of who committed the crime—but whether justice can truly be served when money, influence, and public perception collide. Because even when a case seems to have all the pieces… that doesn’t always mean the truth wins.

Some stories don’t stay neatly in one world. In the late 1800s, a young woman in rural West Virginia died suddenly, her death quickly ruled natural and her case all but closed. But her mother refused to accept that explanation—and what she claimed next would change everything. She said her daughter came back to her… and told her the truth. What followed is one of the most unusual cases in American history. Want more cases, bonus episodes, and behind-the-scenes content?

When Prisma Peralta Reyes left for her lunchbreak on April 17th, 2019, she drove to meet up with an ex-boyfriend. However, the day (already bad due to an argument with a coworker) got even worse when another argument ensued with her ex. Rather than go back to work after lunch, Prisma proceeded to make several subsequent decisions that were either out of character or unexplainable. It’s those choices that make those who knew her wonder WHY she acted in those ways. And now, even more importantly, WHERE the actions of that day led her, as Prisma’s whereabouts are still unknown.  Please also consider supporting Coffee and Cases by joining us over on our Patreon page!
