- Case 285: Louise Ellis
** Content warnings: Domestic violence **
When freelance writer Louise Ellis disappeared after leaving her Ottawa home on April 22 1995, the person leading the search for her was her devoted partner, Brett Morgan. But Brett’s criminal background made investigators suspicious and he found himself feeling more like a suspect than a victim.
When he was approached by an aspiring private investigator named Marie Parent, the case suddenly took a very different turn…

Marie literally danced with death to help bring justice to a missing woman she never met. It's all thanks to her selflessness and dedication for the case. RIP Louise.
Louise was an idiot.
A murder groupie who helped free an abusive murdering animal who eventually murdered *HER*
Then she dumped her nice boyfriend for an exciting "bad boy"
Invited him into her home,
and unfortunately, she won the Darwin award.
Sorry.
If authorities had properly prosecuted his violence against his first partner, both murder victims would have been saved.
Not true.
@@ulknatmelknatu
Why not?
For real. Why was he even free???
@@ulknatmelknatu Why ever not??
Because there's tons if context in which you are missing and inky those competent enough to understand all narratives of reality are fit to play judge jury and with thst enlightenment understand exclecutioner is only an option if to save another in the moment.
Play humanity but act like animals there's always a better way n the moment you quit thinking of what it could be is the moment you lost your own self reasoning for superiority.
This is so crazy please stay away from ex prisoners ladies
It's a fetish called hybristophilia. She was probably unable to find non-violent men attractive.
Well she was a clown
@@dakalodk we'll see.
I think one day it'll be u who is.
How pathetically disconnected from what u are.
I think u dropped your nose.
Psychopathy isn't something that ever goes away. It's very hard to understand for normal people, but especially for good people who have a lot of empathy and try to understand everyone.
The problem with understanding everyone is that you really can't. You can learn things though. Unfortunately by the time some souls learn about true Psychopathy it's starting at their end and their ender before the real truth hits home.
Rip to the souls who learned it that way 🙏. May the next world reflect the kindness you possess.
You couldn't be more correct!!! 💯💯💥
Amen. I discovered before the psychopath ended not only my life, but that of our children. I’m intelligent (top 2%), but was naive as eff! I was wholly unprepared for adult life outside of books and learning. I’m changed and stronger for it all. You either die or grow from it.
@@deeceepnw imagine if while dealing with it you were given date r*** chemicals to suppress ur conciousness.
Think you'd have made it then?
Maria spent so much time with a violent misogynistic murder, found Louise's body, closed the case for them, and all they gave her was a few thousand dollars. What a slap in the face. She risked her life! Those investigators should be kissing the ground she walks on...
Who is this "they?" Who is supposed to be financially rewarding her for butting her nose into an obvious, open and shut case?
The police were already bugging Brett's phone and noticed the discrepancies in his story.
So aside from discovering the body, what else did she do that the police didnt
@@yeetnama9094 Uhhhh, what could be more important than finding the body?
You're not too bright, are you?
@Wolffeathers21 ⭐️
It's the government. They don't pay all that much. Unless you're the one making the rules, of course.
The first 5 minutes I would’ve run and never looked back
I know
What was she thinking
I've found out in life
Bad people seldom if ever have goodness in them
I'm 66 and I've had to walk away from people I love
But they are just like monkeys they can't stop doing bad things
Funny ....yes often.
Sweet
..yes quit often
But wham they re stabbing u in the heart by doing pure evil.
It's hurt me to walk away but another wisdom my son gave me
Was we can love from a distance.😊
Hi from Canada.. 4:08am 😵💫 can’t sleep. Often thought you might investigate & Perhaps you might look into a “famous” case and portray it on your show??
David Milgaard (July 7, 1952 - May 15, 2022) was a Canadian man who was wrongfully convicted for the 1969 of the rape & murder of a nursing student. There is a lot of press and a book about this devastating and lengthy case.
LOVE THE SHOW! Appreciate the Research, & diligence to truth.
Cheers from MANITOBA CANADA 🇨🇦
Plus, Larry Fisher was the actual murderer, a tie in with this case.
But, as we know;
"No one's interested in something you didn't do"🎶
😁👍❤️🇨🇦🍻
@@andrewmckeown6786Not true. The Adnan Syed case had massive interest. Numerous others too.
Dang respect to Marie. She went right in with who she believed, or at least suspected, of being the killer and did a good job.
I don't like someone killing a woman and after that being able to make a life for himself while the victims life has ended.
Maybe it wasn't. Spirits need to learn ghosts exist.
If you don't understand the metaphor you are already lost.
Due to Canada's "Early release under mandatory supervision" clause, 25 years with no parole is actually equivalent to approximately 8 years in prison.
This voice, with its accent and its cadence, is one I could listen to for hours even if it were reading the telephone directory
Ya like the occa mate?
There's a ton of podcast episodes
@@fnfeminist3661
Not ocker at all. This accent is very clearly spoken Australian English.
Best AI narrator in the business.
@@paulraymond1804 I think it's pronounced Strayan
Casefile Presents is the Gold Standard for True Crime Documentaries and Podcasts. The "voice" has a hypnotic quality that I listen to at night both to hear an interesting story and to help me wind down and sleep. Most other true crime podcasts are disappointing after hearing Casefile Presents.
Brave sleuth, she could have been murdered as well
Am listening to this with cat on fop of me head butting a me a d b phone
I’m listening while two squirrels are using me for a playground 😖
I'm listening with a hippopotamus and two giraffes.
@@stewpitteejit I will see your hippopotamus and raise you two cheetahs! 😂😂
All these comments are hilarious. Thanks. I really needed a good LOL.🤣🤣🤣
Lol me too
Happy casefile Saturday! It's raining outside now time to relax and listen to casefiles. Much love from Detroit
Heyyy from Southfield. 👋🏽
Hi from Va
Just found this video😊
@@dominiquerichmond4074
Hi there
From Va. USA
Hey from Pontiac!
Wikipedia says he lied to his first wife Sandra,saying he was 18 ,when he was actually only 15
absolutely love your narrations
Thank YOU.
I googled curious to see what Brett Morgan's look like omg Louise 🤦
He looks like Super Mario. What'd she see in that doofus?
He's so Joe Average the guy next door. Thats how these guys get away with it.
He reminded me of Wooly Willy. You take all the magnetic hair and move it around his face. It moved above his lip!
He also was suspected for another further two unsolved murders.
@@stewpitteejit that's an insult to Mario lol
This is a sad case, what's also sad is that when you type in her name into Google, you can't find the book she made. Her abusive relationship and murder is what she's known for now. Is this Alphavegatabet book lost media? There seems to be another illustrator by a similar name but it's not her.
Edit: nevermind, it's on the Internet Archive.
Edit 2: I don't know if Goodreads is accurate but she also wrote a few romance stories according to her page on there, there's a constant theme of nurses.
One of the best 4 shows on RUclips. With Ballen, WhyFiles and That chapter.
I don't really like Ballen, but That Chapter is great. Scsry Interesting and KyotoRoboto are quite good for mysteries.
Agree👍🌻
I love reading comments like this so u can get more Utubers to listen to. Know Ballen (and like, but not favorite...love Red thread and all things Wendigoon). Will check out others mentioned.
Love That Chapter. I'd also recommend Coffeehouse Crime and Truly Criminal for more serious and compassionate TC. Along with 48 hours, that makes up my top 4.
I like the Casual Criminalist. Simon Whistler had a TON of content and his true crime is well researched and he puts in his 2 cents but it's entertaining. It lightens up some heavy stories.
Yey! I think I've listened to over 250 Casefile podcasts so far and each one is great. I'm definitely a fan waiting for each new Saturday release. Thank you ❤
Im never this early but very grateful for the upload. I just love your narration. Take care now from country NSW Australia.
Absolutely disgusting how little they paid Marie for solving the case by putting her life on the line. It probably isnt even a fraction of what the actual investigators got in overtime
Marie doesnt deserve anything but what she got for butting her nose into an active police investigation.
They had already tapped Brett's phone and were on to him.
@@yeetnama9094 If they were so capable of catching him without her, then why did they ASK HER TO BE THEIR UNDERCOVER AGENT? That's not "butting her nose in".
Who are you, by the way? A failure of a cop? 🤣
Good day Casefile....Just getting off from a long overnight shift. Im ready to go to bed listening to the best nararator in true crime podcasts. Bravo My Friend, and Thank you for another great one. 😊🙏🏼👍✌
Excellent script and narration, enjoyed this immensely 🤗
Larry Fisher, mentioned in the episode, is also a very interesting and famous Canadian case, involving a wrongful conviction.
Thank you for sharing this story ❤
Very well told!
Some crimes could be avoided and definitely this is one of them.Why on earth she thought was a good idea to have a relationship with a felon, who took someone’s life before?
Geez , Louise.
Its ridiculous to credit the justice system. They didnt even want to investigate to begin with. They had to rely on a student to solve the case. Acab bro
This comment is so dumb.
Were you not paying attention to the story?
Detectives already had his phone bugged, and if anything, Marie could have jeopardized the case.
Her foolish ass had stuck her nose into an active investigation for "excitement"
Same for the victim Louise, who, for one thing was an idiot.
She grew up financially comfortable upper middle class and she probably romanticized the idea of "fixing" a criminal garbage "bad boy"
She dumped her nice boyfriend and his daughter,
She hired a private attorney to help get this animal out of prison early for murdering a woman,
She invited this violent parolee BUM into her house, and then she won the Darwin award.
Cheers Casefile ♥️✨
Good morning to the world 😎🙏👊👍✌❤🇬🇧
Fuck the uk
A leopard doesn't change his spots. Louise might have been a smart woman but really she was naive and dumb. How she could have gotten involved with him knowing some of his history is mind-boggling.
YES!!!
She was secretly aroused by him being a violent criminal. Many such cases in women see Ted Bundy and Nikolas Cruz fangirls for reference
I've seen similar several times. These women. Pick the most horrible men and try to save them. You can't save someone from themselves if they chose to date men like this.
It's not right and in poor taste, to chastise this woman.
For it's the evil in this world which victimises the goodness in others where any and all blame reside
Agreed! I've witnessed this equally, although more so in men than in women, granted with far less murderous results.
Destroying their victims, effectively killing them anyway.
It's not in genders where Psychopaths are created...
Amazing... such a good job.
My mouth dropped when you said how much the police "rewarded" Marie. She did all of the legwork on the case and they barely compensated her for it. She did their jobs for them, yet I bet they paid her less than what they make. Shameful on the police department.
I remember when this happened (my home town). Poor Louise was so naive.
Oh be quiet Trish, you don't even know what you're talking about 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@heavymetalredneck7973 Sounds like she knows exactly what she's talking about. You marry a guy who killed his last ex and "naive" is the kindest thing you can be called. She was an idiot.
It's not right and in poor taste, to chastise this woman.

Sad he was so hounded! If he did not help...word would not have spread.
"people go missing every day"
YEAH! THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE A JOB! THEY GO MISSING BECAUSE OF CRIME! OH MY GOD!
No, that's _NOT_ why local police "have a job"
It's literally not their job to track down missing people.
Their job is to enforce local and state law.
It's not against the law to go missing, so there's a grey area in which our overly burdened police force see people falling through the cracks.
They aren't babysitters. That's the families jobs
I knew it.
I told my neice who did it
Brilliant
Bet he didn't tell Louise he was hep C +. Glad to see he's gone for good.
Love is blind.
you are a great storyteller/ presenter 😊
Thanks for saving me the trouble.
After all that how can they feel sorry for him. It was clear it was him he's a psycho
Why was a $4k reward a "slap in the face"? She wasn't a professional PI who was contracted.
Exactly! She literally forced herself in and they could've given her nothing. Even $1 should've had her going "thank you"
If I had to deal with sexual harassment and possible murder attempts only to be compensated a couple thousand dollars, I'd be pissed too.
Brilliant presentation as always, but a little (minute even) investigiation of how to pronounce Maisonneuve properly would have been appreciated. Hep C huh? Couldn't have happened to a more deserving man. In fact I thought that 25 years was too short and should've been a life sentence. Guess it was, in the end.
If I felt compelled to befriend a prisoner or ex con I would do a background search to find out just what I might be getting myself into.
Is this an A.I. generated narration?.
So they went from not suspecting him, a man convicted of manslaughter/murdering someone, to him being placed on 24hr survelience with a wire tap and bug on his phone!? Quite a jump.
It doesn't say they didn't suspect him. It just describes how innocent he was ACTING, but they were still making him do long interviews, etc.
Louise typical of women who get involved with abusive men, don’t leave, keep thinking it’s them needing to be better. Women like Louise, sadly, never really get it, that is, don’t really understand the danger they’re in. Wanting “all consuming love” is unrealistic, suggests a desperately needy woman…she needed counseling! What a shame.
Oh, SOME women FINALLY GET IT!! I did. It's taken me 4 years to figure out why smart me did stupid things about men. But I got it...
How do you hear about someone being violent towards women and go "he makes me feel safe" safe from what? Vulnerable women? Lmao
Suzuki sidekick and Jeep are two very different things. 😂

That lady with the Bakersfield 3 waited 12 friggin episodes before revealing that one of the poor victims was accused of murder. I was the real victim. Don't waste your time on the Baker's Field Two
Yeah, I stopped watching it towards the end.
What is the Bakersfield 3?
Casefile fans are such b*tches
You didn't pay anything for the Bakersfield 3 podcast. It didn't even replace that week's casefile. Casefile STILL came out last Saturday, and Bakersfield on Sunday. Its EXTRA.
Only spoiled, entitled people complain about extra free stuff.
The whole story is intriguing, I just found that lady was very confusing to follow.
What?
One should always do a background check on anyone you date.
Poor Louise, she was intelligent but too nice to the wrong man, there are so many ppl out there who do these things it's a personality pattern of an entitled sociopath. The keep taking until theres nothing left and sometimes take the givers life. One of my exes was planning to take mine. I had worked too hard for my money bc i was very poor when I was younger and i think this is what has prevented the worst outcome. I see how sociopaths try to lie cheat and steal and i want nothing to do with them. If someone is always asking you for money then they are just using you. Better to be alone than in bad company or broke or dead. Stay wise stay safe...#justice for Mica💜
Thanks Matey, first 👍
Remember, no one cares if you're first or last.
@@Boo-dawg. it felt good to be first 👍JS 😉
@@Maligroot Such a sad boast.
If you're not first, you're last!
@@dolinaj1 some are grateful for the little things in life
I cant listen to this DEAD VOICE any longer. Sounds like a robot reading how to assemble a car.
25 years for planning a murder!
there's no video so why is it on youtube. who wants a fixed image for an hour long show
Welcome to planet Earth, 2024...where have you just blow in from??
You listen. It's a podcast on You Tube...get it? Then find a little something constructive to do with your hands...sourpuss.
Twenty five years sentence! Well, at least hepatitis exacted swift justice.
The Police investigation definitely was lacking.
Interesting that she was already in a rellie when they met.
It's the least interesting thing about her. If at all.
She was old, unmarried and childless. Most women of her like usually keep cats. She decided to keep a younger violent, criminal guy...With the all too obvious outcome.
I hate victim blaming BUT..... She met him when he was in jail for crimes against women. Was so embarrassed by that fact she hid it from her family.
OMG why would this woman be with a man who punched his past wife in the stomach to murder his child 😮
Isn't "Nature lover" supposed to be code for seeking like-minded nudists? Idk why I know it think I know this.
Great episode. The word centre was spelt incorrectly. We speak and write English in Australia, not American English.
According to who?
@@WouldntULikeToKnow. according to the Australian education department and the Australian English dictionary dckhd
@@WouldntULikeToKnow.Are you stupid or just kinda slow and cantankerous??.
Wait so she did it for free, willingly did it without any expectency for money and when she got 4.5K she complained that it wasn't enough? What the heck. I get that she did some dangerous stuff but she did it without anyone hiring her to. You don't just volunteer then shake someone down for cash
Some women will accept anything from a man if he is handsome.
Its amazing this guy attracted so many women.
This seems like an incredibly interesting story but I can't deal with the robotic voice.
Trigger Warnings. Ugh! 🙄

If God doesn't forgive unrepentant sinners, neither should anyone else.. Brett Morgan never admitted guilt nor took responsibility for Louise's murder so it is all right not to forgive him. Not returning evil for evil doesn't apply here because God is good and not evil, and if God doesn't forgive people who kill and cover up then it it's all right not to either. That is good. You forgive people if they confess to their crime and are remorseful, and that doesn't fit Brett. He was a con man as well as a murderer.
God is utterly irrelevant as a fictitious character in the greatest fiction ever commemorated in print.

@@KathleenCalhoun-em6ys never to late….
I’m only 15 ish minutes in, but I really hope he didn’t do it 😢
Oh……😢 nvm
Sounds like Louise is a fool
I hate to victim blame, but I thought the same unfortunately 😢
And the murderer is evil, right? Don’t forget who is ultimately to blame! We make a decision to act on evil choices or not. I could walk into someone’s house if they leave the door open, but I don’t. Now you could blame the person for leaving the door unlocked or open, but I do not have to be evil either. The onus is on us to make the right decision.
She was definitely too trusting & got in way over her head with Brett.
It's not right and in poor taste, to chastise this woman.
This 'victim blaming' sentiment is a mentality, we as a community need to move away from.
For it's the evil in this world which victimises the goodness in others where any and all blame reside
I have to say, it’s really distracting to listen bro when someone is pronouncing it kwee-bek or maisson-wheve.
