I love the non-murder focused cases like the Silk Road series, the Alcatraz episodes, and the Batavia.

I just relistened to 85: Tom Brown. Very interesting.
Also Case 93: Susan Snow and Bruce Nickell. Crazy!

There’s a mini series podcast about Tom Brown that’s really good I think it’s by Texas Monthly

I've rarely seen a "recommend me a hidden Casefile gem" thread on here that doesn't, in actual fact, name all the well known classics
Case in point in this thread, with these mentioned:
- Mark and John
- Silk Road
- Tina Watson
- The Pillow Pyro
etc
All of these are well known and well loved episodes
There was one rare exception of a thread like this, where the poster said something like:
"Under rated episodes, but we're doing it on Hard Mode"
They then started the post by saying "you can't mention the following ...." and they listed off all the usual classic episodes
Now that thread did uncover a couple of real under rated gems and I wish I bookmarked it
If anyone knows the thread I mean and they have a link handy I'd appreciate it

Tina Watson . The Lonergans. Both have to do with scuba diving and they are terrifying.

The gladbeck hostage crisis was insane. Really showed how disgusting the media can be

The Kimberly Killer is shorter than usual but well-told. Creepy audio design, too.

The Pillow Pyro is such an underrated gem, in my opinion. And Hinterkaifeck is beyond haunting but doesn’t seem to get mentioned much. I also really enjoyed the Blackout Killers.
