Cassie Jo Stoddart was housesitting in Pocatello, Idaho, just days before Halloween — when a quiet weekend took a deadly turn.

In this Halloween episode of Murder U, we revisit the 2006 killing that turned a suburban home into a scene straight out of a horror film. What began as an ordinary weekend quickly spiraled into one of the most unsettling true-crime cases of the decade. As investigators traced Cassie’s final hours, they uncovered evidence of a carefully orchestrated plan — and a chilling fascination that blurred the line between fiction and reality.

It’s the story of a bright, responsible teenager whose trust was betrayed, and of a community left haunted by a crime that felt ripped from the movies.
