When interest is dismissed as harmless, obsession is allowed to grow unchecked.
In this episode of CaseXCase, we examine the case of Laura Black — a young professional whose dream job in Sunnyvale, California became the starting point of years of stalking, ignored warnings, and institutional failures. What began as unwanted attention escalated over time, despite repeated attempts to seek help and clear signs of danger.
This episode focuses on the timeline leading up to the violence, including the workplace response, missed opportunities to intervene, and how obsession was repeatedly minimized until it was too late. This is not a story about a single moment, but about patterns, decisions, and non-decisions that allowed a preventable tragedy to unfold.
Trigger Warning
This episode contains discussion of stalking, workplace harassment, threats, and violence. Listener discretion is advised.

What if the number of missing and murdered women in one area was far larger than anything that’s ever been reported?
In this episode, we take a different approach — not by focusing on suspects or theories, but by looking at data.
Using publicly available records, we compiled a spreadsheet of unresolved cases involving women under the age of 50, including missing women, unidentified women, and unsolved homicides, spanning multiple decades. When these cases are placed together on a single timeline, a pattern begins to emerge — one that raises important questions about how many women are still missing, how long this has been happening, and whether the full scope has ever been recognized.
This episode walks listeners through that data step by step, explaining what’s in the spreadsheet, what stands out, and why looking at these cases together — rather than individually — matters.
This episode is not about accusations.It is about counting what remains unresolved, and asking whether all of these women have truly been found.

This episode explains where the Delphi case stands now: a conviction followed by an appeal. It outlines what appeals courts review — legal process, judge rulings, and evidentiary decisions — and clarifies that appeals do not re-try guilt or re-weigh evidence.The episode summarizes the key issues raised on appeal (exclusion of third-party evidence, discovery concerns, and missing materials), the briefing timeline, and why this appellate phase matters for ensuring a fair trial and proper legal process.

In Vault Episode 32, we continue the deep-dive into the Delphi Murders timeline—a timeline that, nearly eight years later, still does not make sense.This episode focuses on the phone data that has left investigators, analysts, and the public asking the same question:How can these records exist if the official narrative is true?We examine:Critical gaps and contradictions in the Feb 13–14, 2017 timelinePhone activity and data points that defy simple explanationsWhy unresolved digital evidence matters more than everHow selective interpretation of evidence obscures the full truthThe Delphi Murders will never be solved until every fact—especially the uncomfortable ones—is openly examined. Justice depends on accuracy, not assumptions.🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up? Check out StreamYard and get $10 discount! 😍 https://streamyard.com/pal/d/5877667166552064
