The Murder of Cassie Jo Stoddart

Emash Digital / Wondery
About this episode

Cassie Jo Stoddart was a 16-year-old girl from Pocatello, Idaho who was murdered by two friends in 2006 while housesitting for her aunt and uncle. The crime scene was a horrific sight, and the perpetrators turned out to be unlikely suspects- two of Cassie’s high school friends. Cassie’s murder case is often called “The Scream Murder” because Torey Adamcik and Brian Draper were inspired by the movie Scream.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the murder of Cassie Jo Stoddart. At just 16, Cassie had her whole life ahead of her when she was murdered by two boys she considered friends. Adamcik and Draper aspired to be more infamous than serial killers like Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy. They wanted to make their own claim to fame by turning Cassie’s murder into their own homemade horror film.
