Jeepers dude!! I shat myself when you shouted in the courtroom. Almost had a car accident. Bloody tremendous story telling I say!! 😂
Jason's mother's statement is heartbreaking 💔 x
Damn, the voice acting in this episode lmao
Mary is a horrible mother...its like she wanted to stay wigh him....poor child
not to thrilled about the scream and the acting out of the victims stories (fake kids voice, yelling of the victims) ect... love the podcast otherwise
Poor Jason n his parents esp cuz he had nothing to do w/Mary... It's easy 4 me to say, but I wish Mary alerted the cop car initially by honking, ramming, or w/e, then Jason would be alive. Imo, it's incomparably better to risk n accept the known consequence (get shot by Ming in this case) than go along to the unknown...
Easy top 3 best Case File episode.
JUST DRIVEEEEE! lmao
Absolutely shocking! In my top 5 most gripping Casefile episodes.
jesus that scream nearly gave me a heart attack as i didnt know it was coming !!!!
Jeez, there was a lot of god bullshit in this story. I didn't give a crap about Mary by the end.
Jason's mother's statement has broken my heart. You can feel a small amount of her pain. Just devastating.
It is evident that each episode represents so much research and work, as well as being organized and preformed clearly and with respect. Thank you for including the quote from Jason's mother describing the heart wrenching account of her sons abduction.
