    From the Vault | Cassie Carli

    Before Marcus Spanevelo's federal murder trial begins, we're taking a trip back into the Justice For Podcast vault with one of the cases that has stayed with us since the beginning—Cassie Carli. Cassie disappeared in March 2022 after meeting her ex, Marcus Spanevelo, for a child custody exchange. Days later, she was found buried in a shallow grave in Alabama, leaving behind a young daughter and a family still searching for justice. Since we originally released this episode, there have been major developments. Federal prosecutors have announced they are seeking the death penalty against Spanevelo on the charge of kidnapping resulting in death. That decision changed the course of the case, turning it into a capital prosecution and adding months of additional legal proceedings. If you've been wondering why this case has taken so long to reach trial, that's a big reason why. Capital cases require extensive preparation by both sides, including additional attorneys, expert investigations, and countless pretrial hearings. While it's frustrating for Cassie's loved ones to continue waiting, these delays are not uncommon in federal death penalty cases. At this time, Marcus Spanevelo has pleaded not guilty, and no final trial date has been set. Prosecutors have proposed an April 2027 trial, but that timeline could still change as pretrial litigation continues. As we wait for the next chapter in Cassie's case, we're revisiting her story and remembering the woman at the center of it all. If you missed this episode the first time—or want to refresh your memory before the trial—now is the perfect time to listen. Justice delayed is never easy, and we'll continue following this case until Cassie Carli and her family finally get their day in court. 💜 Disclaimer  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and do not necessarily reflect the views of any affiliated organizations.

    Namiko Takaba

    On November 13, 1999, 32-year-old Namiko Takaba was brutally murdered inside her apartment in Nagoya, Japan, while her two-year-old son remained in the home. Investigators recovered DNA, bloody footprints, and a trail of evidence that should have identified the killer—but despite those clues, the case remained unsolved for more than 26 years. Refusing to give up on his wife, Namiko's husband made an extraordinary decision that kept hope alive for decades. His determination eventually led to a breakthrough that shocked investigators and changed the course of the case forever. More than two decades later, advances in DNA technology finally revealed the truth—but the motive behind the murder left even seasoned detectives stunned. After waiting 26 years for answers, was justice finally served?

    16 Children Rescued From Ohio Home | The Siders Family Investigation

    June 30th, 2026, authorities removed 16 children, ranging in age from 18 months to 18 years old, from a home in Vinton County after executing a search warrant. Investigators say the children were found living in horrific conditions, leading to the arrests of four members of the Siders family on multiple felony child endangerment charges. As new details continue to emerge, many questions remain unanswered. So let's break down what investigators have revealed so far, what led law enforcement to the home, the charges the adults are facing, and where the case stands today. Because this investigation is moving quickly, we'll also discuss what we know and what we don't know, as this heartbreaking story continues to develop.

    Kenzie Houk

    Just weeks before she was due to give birth to her son, 26-year-old Kenzie Houk was found murdered in her Pennsylvania home with a shotgun wound to the back of her head. Her unborn son, Christopher, died with her. What followed was one of the most controversial murder investigations in modern true crime history. Within hours, police arrested Kenzie's 11-year-old future stepson, Jordan Brown, accusing him of carrying out an unthinkable crime. The case would divide a community, spark national headlines, and ultimately raise serious questions about the investigation itself. In this episode, we examine the life of Kenzie Houk, the evidence that led investigators to focus on a child, the years-long legal battle that followed, and the unanswered questions that remain more than 15 years later. Most importantly, we remember Kenzie and the future she never got the chance to live.

    Candy

    When a young mother walked into a hospital seeking help after a fight with her boyfriend, she never imagined she would spend the next seven years fighting to prove the truth. In 1992, "Candy" accused her trusted physician, Dr. John Schneeberger, of drugging and sexually assaulting her during a medical exam. Despite physical evidence, DNA testing repeatedly cleared the doctor, leaving Candy isolated, disbelieved, and branded a liar by her community. But she refused to give up. What followed became one of the most shocking cases in true crime history—a story of perseverance, corruption, manipulation, and a doctor who went to extraordinary lengths to evade justice. This week, we examine the unbelievable case of Dr. John Schneeberger, the survivor who never stopped fighting, and the DNA deception that stunned the world.

    Harmony Montgomery - Revisited

    When we first covered Harmony Montgomery's story, we hoped justice had finally been served. But in the years since that episode, new developments, lawsuits, court hearings, and most recently the overturning of Adam Montgomery’s murder conviction have changed everything. In this updated and re-recorded episode, we revisit Harmony’s life, the system failures that left her vulnerable, the abuse she endured, and the heartbreaking search for answers that continues today. We break down everything that has happened since our original coverage and discuss what this latest ruling means for Harmony’s case moving forward. Harmony would be 12 years old today. Her remains have never been found, and the fight for justice is far from over.
