Casefile Archives 5: Lauria Bible & Ashley Freeman
Episode 392
Saturday, 7 February, 2026

*** Content Warning: child victims ***Oklahoma teenager Ashley Freeman celebrated her sixteenth birthday by inviting her best friend, Lauria Bible, over for a sleepover. It was a pleasant yet uneventful evening, until the following morning of December 30 1999, when neighbours noticed that the Freemans’ house was engulfed in flames. Emergency services quickly arrived at the scene, where they found the charred remains of Ashley’s mother, Kathy. She had also been shot in the head. The fire was ruled to be arson, but where were Lauria, Ashley or Ashley’s father, Danny?---Casefile Archives is a series of special bonus releases revisiting the earliest years of the show. The re-run episodes have been completely edited, polished, re-recorded and freshly produced from start to finish to match our current production standards. They are not complete rewrites - our goal wasn’t to alter the cases or reshape the writing, but to preserve the original storytelling while giving the production the refinement it didn’t have when we started the show back in 2016. Where appropriate, updates have been added, but the core structure and storytelling remain faithful to the originals. Because of this, these re-releases may sound a little different to our recent episodes, but they allow us to bring some of the earliest episodes up to the technical quality listeners expect today.---Narration – Anonymous HostResearch & writing – Anonymous HostAdditional writing - Elsha McGillProduction & music – Mike MigasAudio editing – Anthony TelferSign up for Casefile Premium:Apple PremiumSpotify PremiumPatreonFor all credits and sources, please visit https://casefilepodcast.com/casefile-archives-5-lauria-bible-ashley-freeman Hosted on Acast.
