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.

You're listening to Case by Case, where we examine real criminal cases through careful review of public records and reporting. Our long-form deep dives are available on YouTube.

Trigger warning: this episode discusses a disappearance and may include references to violence, abuse, or death. Content is for educational purposes and listener discretion is advised.

This episode covers the ongoing disappearance of Chris Palmer, a 39-year-old camper last seen in early January with his German shepherd, Zoey. After a final message on January 9 saying he was heading to the Monongahela area, his red 2017 Ford F-250 was found stuck on the sand at Cape Hatteras on January 12; Chris and Zoey remain missing. Searches by the National Park Service and local authorities continue, and anyone with information about sightings, the vehicle, the dog, or unusual activity near Cape Point on or around January 11–12 is asked to contact the NPS tip line.
