Closed as Suicide: The Unanswered Questions in Libby Caswell’s Death

National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233, text START to 88788 or visit thehotline.org On a cold December night in 2017, police responded to the Sports Stadium Motel in Independence, Missouri, where 21 year old Libby Caswell was found dead inside Room 319. Her death was quickly ruled a suicide, even as the medical examiner listed the manner of death as undetermined and key surveillance footage from the motel went missing. Libby was a young mother trying to leave a dangerous relationship, and her family has spent years challenging the official findings. In this episode, we look closely at the scene, the inconsistencies in the timeline, the documented history of domestic violence, and the critical evidence that may have been overlooked. This is the case of Libby Caswell and the fight for answers that has never stopped. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse, you can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233, text START to 88788, or visit thehotline.org.
