    This woman didnt even go on to remarry! She did a show like 13 yrs on still deeply and madly in love with her husband talking about only having eyes for him, and that with him gone there was only room for their son in her heart. Like.... It makes me see red every time thinking about how insulting it was to her that the forensic tecs can't put 2 stickers on 2 bottles properly and the 18 months of hell they caused a grieving widow for absolutely no reason at all beyond their own idiocy. 😡😡

      Tbf They didn't get the bottles mixed up. The blood itself was mixed up resulting from the proximity of the victims. But I agree if you're going to throw out an accusation like that, you'd better be damn sure your evidence is correct. She should have sued tf out of them

      @@SpicyTexan64 I actually wasn't aware of exactly how it had gotten switched, so thank you tons for adding that. Which- don't get me wrong I can totally see how something like that scenario could happen and just in general I can totally wrap my mind around "human error" mistakes- I mean, no one is perfect. What I can't understand though is when they took the sons diaper to get his DNA to compare.... Why on earth they would compare that to samples gathered from the crime scene vs samples taken directly from both men via the medical examiner.... Or once it came back looking like it was the other guys kid why they wouldn't cover their own asses and double check it in comparison to his mom (as in the boys grandma) or the grandpa like just to be sure before slinging accusations at the wall to hopefully find something that would stick. Maybe that has to do with dna's capabilities at the time, and potentially that's just my own bias coming from my age and the advancements DNA has made even just within my lifetime. But taking those things into account I just feel so so bad for that woman. I'm also the type that double checks basically everything so in general it just befuddles me that especially in the type of profession where mistakes can literally cost people their lives (regardless if it's a wrongful arrest/conviction- or say a mistake where a killer is released and goes on to kill again, or something obvious gets overlooked causing someone to not be arrested until much later and that could have saved other victims....) It just... Ugh- it's gut wrenching every time! I absolutely admire those that take that career path though, it's easy for me or anyone else to look over their actions in hindsight, I'm SO pointedly aware there's NO way I could do that job! Especially when thinking about how many times my husband has ran out of our room late at night thinking something was wrong to find me yelling at my phone over just ridiculous people in interrogations and me ranting over how on earth cops bite their tongues! I would be fired for unprofessionalism in my first week!! Lol smh.

    The police bungle the DNA evidence, transposing the blood of 2 victims. Their excuse was that the 2 bodies were lying so close to each other. But one was laying just inside the building, blocking the doorway and the other was outside across the parking lot near a car. Hardly right on top of each other. What a huge blunder, and it caused a great deal stress and upset to bewildered, innocent family members.

When Alana's friends said she'd never leave her dog they should have believed them. Again, the cops put a grieving widow through hell for 18 months due to their incompetence. Her reputation was so tarnished she felt she had to leave the state.

      Kala Brown was awarded $6.3 million in damages from the estate of Todd Kollhepp in court. She'd asked for $363 million. Not bad for 2 months work.
      Kollhepp's estate was likely to have been worth no more than $2 million. The company who sold the arms to Kollhepp's buyer gave $2.5 million to be shared amongst the victims families.
      Hard to figure out who made more from Kollhepp's crimes - the victims, their families or the attornies, but as always, it's the tax payers who will be footing the bill.

    Find profiler Phil Charmers, he talks to Todd regularly via prison phone, Todd's reasoning for everything is so matter of fact. He claims the folks at the motorbike store laughed at him for not being able to ride the motor bike he bought & that they also stole his new bike.. No motive, just that he wasn't going to take being teased, laughed at, taken for a fool. He'd show them. His Dad taught him to stand up for himself.
    That's just some of Todd's reasoning.. Interesting character to be a spree killer and a serial killer...

    It makes you think that nothing was done in prison other tha teaching this guy an employment skill.
    Nothing was done about actualy treating his attitudes and actions. His mother to her credit, tried when he was a child but to no avail.
    He was trouble waiting to happen and nothing was done.
    I have read that sociopaths can be taught to follow social rules as a benefit to themselves.
    The first 5 years of his 15yr sentence at age 15 should have been in a specialist child psychiatric facility. It may have not changed anything but who knows?
    If he was a dog, he would have not made it to adulthood. We can't cull himans. So we must put resources into socialising those with these personality defects. As much as I hate those !!#$%s

    🇬🇧 What a tremendous case!
    So terrible & very scary that there are people out there like the person in this case!
    I remember as a young child, one of our group of playmates was very cruel, killing frogs, birds even stoning a cat to death!
    He'd sometimes hurt one of us giving us Chinese burns or tying us up & leaving us in the middle of nowhere.
    Being a very forward child i was able to thwart his efforts in hurting me ( although he did once tie up my long hair in the branches of some thorny bushes)
    We kind of kept our distance from him ( this was in the mid 1950s early 1960's) & sometimes he was great fun to be with, generous & giving, but he could turn on a sixpence!
    We moved from the area, but i still heard, from time to time of his growing cruelties, & escalation in offences.
    Then when i turned 19yrs old i found out he'd been killed by crashing a stolen car.
    Something inside me, honestly felt a stab of regret & sheer relief!
    My mum used to say he'd some to a sticky end one day!
    I grieved for the happy fun playmate i knew but also relief he was taken before something serious happened & for him, whatever troubled his psyche was over.
    I heard after his death that hed been in constant trouble with authorities & had ( even way back then) been in therapy & medication.
    No doubt fate intervened in his life, i dread to think what he could have done if left to his ministrations!
    I still think back to those times & with hindsight realise what a twisted sinister personality he had.
    His sister was the total opposite to him & he idolized her, no one dare touch his sister.
    His mum & dad were so nice & kind & despaired of his behaviour
    Many years after his death i met his sister who id known well, & she wanted to talk about her brother to someone who knew him.
    I think it was cathartic for her, shed not really been aware of the extent of his behaviour but knew her parents had often been in tears about him.
    So sad in many ways, he came from a really nice family, even my parents said the same, how his sister was lovely & how much he adored her but to display such cruelty at such a young age??
    His sister agreed his death was the end of his suffering & behaviour, & if he'd not died when he did, something terrible would have happened,
    It makes you think these souls are born ¬ made
    I hope his spirit is at peace & i remember him as the golden boy who could have us laughing fit to bust & his ingenious games that were brilliant!
    God Rest his soul.
    Thank you Casefiles, for another breathtakingly case so convoluted & scary.

    Listening to this, & having also gone thru both an 11 year & 16 year narcissistic abuse relationship, I honestly think that Renee is still alive, & obviously locked up somewhere only Camilla know about . She said she didn't know that Renee had driven to the Gap, to kill herself. Crap. Camilla wld never let that happen, as that wld be seen as an act of defiance, one that Camilla wld never let happen. It sounds too well set up to be a suicide. The fact there was no body found, ( when the weather & water conditions wld have washed it up somewhere), only makes me think that she is definitely alive somewhere, if only for Camilla's undying control. In every lie from a narcissist, there is about a 10% truth, or clue. If Renee is still alive, check Camilla's whereabouts now, is there a storage locker ( or some other place able to hold a person without detection) somewhere, that she visits regularly? Is there a place she goes, but lies about the true whereabouts of?These questions have to be asked, as the mind of a master manipulator is a very dark place, one that I know all too well now, sadly. Put a tracker on her car, ( or check if she rents a car in another name ), cellphones can be left at home on these visits, but physical evidence has to be there , somewhere. It seems likely she wld keep Renee close to her, but not too close to be obvious. She couldn't have gotten Renee out of the country, or even state without help. Check her travel movements now, is she purchasing questionable food , medical & clothing items on a regular, ( or semi-regular ) basis? Ones that seem to not fit her families needs, or her own. She did say " I'll own you forever" and there is no way that she "let" Renee have the final say, and having a tracker on Renee's car is always a possibility, as she wld be expecting a suicide. And by staging one , ( where a missing body can just be explained away because of water conditions) wld be the easiest way to keep Renee for herself, forever. I know this all sounds completely insane, but there's one thing I do know for sure, the narcissist ALWAYS has the last laugh.
    Being on borrowed time, myself, believe me,I know.
    I was writing this comment while the Renae Marsden case was on (case #238 ) somehow it came up on this one instead . ( I think the episode changed on me, so sorry!!!!)

      Because it was the same killer in both cases. He confessed to the 1st murders after he was arrested for the second set of crimes.

No evidence that they had anything to do with the theft. He just decided they did it, so he killed them.

And after he talked about the other couple that had nothing to do with the first case presented. You realize the two are related much longer in the second case story when you find out he was the killer in both instances, till then you are up in the air.

      I guess they felt the best way to tell how he was finally caught for the bike shop killings was to recount the details of the murder/abduction case. It would be kind of lame to say. " The bike shop murders were finally solved after 10 years when a guy named Kolhep confessed to them after he was arrested for some other murders somewhere else" They had to give the background of the case he was arrested for. He was not connected to the bike shop case, at least not by name, and he would never have confessed to it he hadn't been caught in Arizona. Plus it kept up the suspense. And in truth, they told it in chronological order.

      @@rmooreg I didn't feel no suspense and others aparently didn't also. There are other comments saying they feel the video confusing. Lame or not he should have said something after the commercials or he should have arranged the script in another order. The thing is I was expecting him to continue with the case after the commercials, but he started another case and let the other one in the air till almost the end when you realize that individual killed those people from the bike shop too.

      @@loredanadincu4300 I very much agree with you! I am a faithful listener of this podcast and am very familiar with this case from others on YT who have covered it, and even talked to Todd to let him describe it himself. It’s not as if I couldn’t follow the details because I already knew the case, but I felt it could be very confusing for listeners unfamiliar with it, especially because of how many names were in the case. I only listened to about 3/4 after getting a little tired of the presentation myself. Just not my favorite episode, and a little bit of a bummer as I find this case pretty interesting. I definitely can see your perspective!
