EPISODE SUMMARY

In our first episode, we walk the verified timeline of the disappearance and murder of Indiana University student Jill Behrman, tracing her final known bike route, the early search efforts, and the decades-long pursuit of answers. Jill’s case is a defining moment in Indiana true-crime history, one shaped by misdirection, false confessions, overturned convictions, and a long wait for the truth to emerge.

Using our Casewalker Evidence Book Method, we reconstruct the case through verified documentation, publicly available law enforcement records, court findings, and on-location fieldwork in Bloomington. We focus only on what is known, what is alleged, and what remains unresolved.

This episode lays the foundation for the investigative style of the Casewalker series:
Every route. Every minute. Only the facts.
