Updated Timeline and Description in Search for William “Neil” McCasland
READ FULL STATEMENT HERE: https://x.com/bcsonm/status/203221028...

BCSO is releasing the following verified timeline to provide clarity on what is known. On February 27 at approximately 10:00 a.m., a repairman was at the residence and interacted with Mr. McCasland. At approximately 11:10 a.m., Mrs. McCasland Wilkerson left the home for a medical appointment. At approximately 12:04 p.m., she returned home and Mr. McCasland was not there. His phone, prescription glasses, and wearable devices were located at the residence. Mrs. McCasland Wilkerson began attempting to locate Mr. McCasland and contacted family and friends. At approximately 3:07 p.m., she reported him missing and the investigation began immediately.

As the investigation has progressed, BCSO has identified items believed to be unaccounted for from the residence. Investigators believe Mr. McCasland may have been wearing the shirt shown in the attached photo. The photo depicts Mr. McCasland wearing a light green, long sleeve button-up outdoor shirt. Additional items believed to be missing include his hiking boots, wallet, and a .38 caliber revolver with a leather holster.

Investigators also located a gray U.S. Air Force sweatshirt approximately 1.25 miles east of the residence on Saturday, March 7. The item was collected and processed. No blood was detected during initial processing, and additional analysis is pending. The sweatshirt has not been confirmed by family or friends to be associated with Mr. McCasland; however, it prompted an additional targeted search effort in the area.

BCSO is again asking anyone in the area to check and submit security camera footage from Friday, February 27 and Saturday, February 28, particularly between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. in and around Quail Run Court NE and routes leading away from the neighborhood.

Police and family members point to alarming TikTok videos in which she allegedly spoke about receiving dreams from God, warned of the “end times,” claimed Salt Lake City would be destroyed, referenced natural disasters, and urged others to “brace for the apocalypse.” 35-year-old Elleshia Anne Seymour is charged with four counts of custodial interference and removing a child from the state after investigators say she disappeared with her children on November 29, leaving behind an unlocked home in West Jordan, Utah. Police say Seymour shares custody with two fathers, neither of whom consented to any travel. The missing children are 11-year-old Landon Seymour, 8-year-old Levi Parker Seymour, 7-year-old Hazel Raye Seymour, and 3-year-old Jacob Kurt Brady.

Police say this was not a crime of passion, not a botched home invasion, and not a jealous husband snapping in the moment, but a meticulously planned double murder allegedly orchestrated by a federal agent who was living a secret double life with his family’s au pair. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the shocking prosecution theory against Brendan Banfield, a Virginia IRS agent accused of catfishing an unsuspecting man through BDSM websites, luring him into the Banfield home under false pretenses, and then staging a brutal scene that left his wife, Christine Banfield, stabbed to death and Joseph Ryan shot and killed inside their million-dollar Fairfax County home. Prosecutors allege Banfield and his young Brazilian au pair, Juliana Perez Magalhães, carried out an elaborate plot involving fake online identities, Telegram calls, decoy 911 calls, McDonald’s drive-through alibis, sound-dampening windows, gun-range training, and a plan to make Banfield look like the hero who stopped a violent intruder.

Phantom Court Clerical Error? Family members say the warning signs were there long before Spencer and Monique Tepe were brutally murdered inside their Columbus, Ohio home, but one strange detail in the court system has raised a disturbing new question.

After this episode was published, People Magazine reported that Spencer Tepe's brother-in-law, Rob Misleh, says the woman in the 911 call transcripts is not Monique. https://people.com/911-call-not-monique-tepe-relative-says-11880695

A respected Ohio dentist and his wife were found shot to death inside their Columbus home, and more than a week later, police are still saying very little. Spencer Tepe and his wife Monique, known to family and friends as “Mo,” were discovered after concerns were raised when Spencer failed to show up for work, something colleagues say was completely out of character. In this episode, we walk through the disturbing new information that has emerged since their deaths, including police radio traffic from the morning their bodies were found, newly surfaced details from a prior 911 call connected to the home, and what investigators are and are not sharing with the public. We also examine why the lack of visible progress is raising questions and what experts say could be happening behind the scenes.

Nearly four years after the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, a former school police officer is now facing criminal charges for his actions that day.

This trial is only the second time in U.S. history that a police officer has been criminally prosecuted for a school shooting response, and the outcome could have nationwide implications for law enforcement accountability.

Luigi Mangione: Crucial Evidence TOSSED? New Details & Body Cam Released In Court

Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 09:44:00 +0000

Nearly one year after UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down on a Manhattan sidewalk, the man accused of executing him, Luigi Mangione, is back in court for a critical evidence hearing. This week, prosecutors and defense attorneys faced off over the backpack search that happened moments after Mangione’s arrest. Inside that backpack, police say they found two key pieces of evidence: a gun linked to the murder and a handwritten anti-insurance “manifesto.” Mangione’s defense team is fighting to get all of it thrown out, arguing the search was unconstitutional. If the judge agrees, those items may never reach a jury… and that could dramatically reshape the entire trial. For the first time, we’re also seeing the still images from the body-cam video played in court behind closed doors. The full footage hasn’t been released, but the snapshots offer a first look at the moments officers confronted Mangione on the street.

At the same time, Ashlee showed up to court in full glam and a curly wig, completely made up, while refusing to answer anything about Melodee’s whereabouts.

Is Amy Bradley ALIVE? Explosive New Claims After 27 Years Missing | Private Detective Speaks

Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 08:05:00 +0000

A private investigator working with the Bradley family is now sharing details that feel almost unbelievable. He says Amy Bradley was actually seen in Curacao after she vanished from that Royal Caribbean cruise ship in 1998, and not just once. People recognized her by the Tasmanian Devil tattoo on her shoulder and said she looked dazed and heavily drugged, almost like she wasn’t fully aware of where she was. According to the investigator, a clerk inside the Curacao police department even admitted he saw her several times and claimed he knew exactly where she was being kept. He went as far as offering to arrange Amy’s return for fifty thousand dollars, then backed out when it came time to hand her over. When the investigator tracked him down years later, the clerk said he saw Amy again in 2016 and that she was still alive, hooked on drugs, and controlled by a dangerous trafficker. None of this was in the Netflix documentary, and it completely changes how this case looks twenty seven years later.

“She Made Us Wear SCREAM MASKS!!!” Teen Boys Expose Teacher’s Drug-Fueled Sex Parties | Teacher From Hell: The Brittany Fortinberry Case

Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 05:50:12 +0000

She was a substitute teacher and a mother-- trusted by parents, admired by students. But prosecutors say Brittany Fortinberry was living a secret double life, one that crossed every imaginable line. In fact, prosecutors say Ms. Fortinberry engaged in sexual acts with SEVERAL teenage boys, some as young as 13. One of those boys told investigators he ended things when he learned she was doing the same with other teenage boys. And in one of the most haunting details of all, prosecutors say she made them wear Scream masks during the encounters. Now, Ms. Brittany Fortinberry faces 47 felony charges, her husband is accused of threatening one of the victims, and a lawsuit claims the school district ignored red flags that could have stopped it all.

Ellen Greenberg 2.0? The UNBELIEVABLE & DISTURBING Closet Death of a Young NYC Woman in Manhattan

Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 07:00:00 +0000

In 2019, 27-year-old Sonam Kshatriya was found hanging in the closet of her Manhattan apartment. The medical examiner ruled it a suicide but the evidence tells a much darker story. Her family says this case is a chilling echo of the Ellen Greenberg case, where a young woman was found with 20 stab wounds and still declared a suicide. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield exposes the shocking details of Sonam’s death, from the blood at the crime scene that did not match the official story, to the ex-boyfriend with seven prior arrests who discovered her body. With bruises, surveillance video, and a 911 call that raises more questions than answers, Sonam’s family is fighting to prove she did not take her own life.

Judge EVISCERATES Sean “Diddy” Combs at Sentencing & Quotes His FILTHY Words Back to Him

Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield — Sat, 04 Oct 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Sean “Diddy” Combs faced the music in federal court, and it was brutal. Judge Arun Subramanian eviscerated the hip-hop mogul during sentencing, quoting Diddy’s own filthy words back to him. Diddy sobbed in court, called his behavior “sick, shameful, and disgusting,” and begged for mercy before being sentenced to 50 months in federal prison on Mann Act convictions. His defense team even submitted a slick, 12-minute video packed with celebrity testimonials and family footage, meant to show Diddy as a loving father and mentor. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down every shocking moment inside that courtroom, plus exclusive interviews with Kim Goldman, whose brother Ron was murdered by O.J. Simpson, marking 30 years since that verdict; former federal prosecutor Nadia Shihata, who helped put R. Kelly behind bars; and former mob boss Michael Franzese, who reveals what really happens when power meets justice. Was this true accountability or just a slap on the wrist for a billionaire?

The Tinley Park Five: Lane Bryant Massacre UNSOLVED Nearly Two Decades Later

Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield — Fri, 03 Oct 2025 07:00:00 +0000

On February 2, 2008, inside a Lane Bryant store in Tinley Park, Illinois, six women were bound with duct tape and forced to the floor. Within minutes, five were executed, one miraculously survived, and the gunman vanished without a trace. Seventeen years later, the case known as the Tinley Park Five remains one of the largest unsolved mass shootings in U.S. history.

In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield exposes the horrifying details of the Lane Bryant murders, from the frantic 911 call to the police response that came just two minutes too late, and asks why the unmasked killer is still free. She is joined by filmmaker Charlie Minn, whose upcoming documentary Who Killed These Women? The Tinley Park Five digs deep into evidence, theories, and the silence of investigators.

Could the surviving witness still hold the key? Was this a botched robbery, a targeted attack, or something even darker? The Lane Bryant killer is still out there, and this case demands answers.

Kentucky Cheerleader’s Closet Baby Horror: Bombshell Court Docs & McDonald’s Run | Laken Snelling Case Update

Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 07:00:00 +0000

The case of University of Kentucky cheerleader Laken Snelling has taken an even DARKER turn. Prosecutors revealed bombshell new details in court docs: her newborn baby was possibly born alive, wrapped in a towel “like a burrito,” and hidden in her closet. Hours later, instead of seeking help, Laken allegedly grabbed McDonald’s and stopped by the campus health clinic, but never went inside. Her roommates told investigators they heard loud crashes in the middle of the night, so strong that one even knocked a picture off the wall. Suspicious of her excuses, they later discovered a blood-soaked towel, a trash bag filled with evidence of childbirth, and, horrifyingly, the body of a baby boy in her closet. Court documents also show Laken admitted to police that the baby moved and whimpered after birth. Now, the question looming over this case is devastating: was the baby born alive, and if so, why didn’t she get help? Digital journalist Abby Escobar, known as Abby Blabby True Crime & News on TikToK, joins Ashleigh Banfield to break down the online firestorm and what people who know Laken are saying in real time.

D4vd BOLTS From Hollywood Hills Mansion & Spends Weekend Gaming on Roblox and Fortnite

Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Singer D4vd has abruptly bolted from his Hollywood Hills mansion just days after LAPD spent 12 hours searching the home for “blood evidence.” Detectives seized multiple items, including a laptop, in their investigation into the shocking case of Celeste Rivas Hernandez – a 14-year-old girl whose decomposed body was discovered in the trunk of D4vd’s Tesla earlier this month.

The discovery raised disturbing questions about D4vd’s connection to Celeste, who vanished from Lake Elsinore more than a year ago. While police have not filed charges, and the cause of death remains undetermined, the singer canceled the rest of his tour, broke his $20,000-a-month lease, and has stayed silent publicly.

Now, reports suggest he’s spending his time gaming on Roblox and Fortnite as the internet explodes with speculation, Reddit threads, and resurfaced videos that appear to show him with Celeste.

In this episode, Ashleigh Banfield unpacks the timeline, the police raid, and the singer’s silence — with exclusive insight from TMZ’s Charles Latibeaudiere, former prosecutor Matt Murphy, and criminal defense attorney Sara Azari.

He Sent His Mistress a Photo of His Dying Wife! | Dr. James Craig’s Trial Is Pure Insanity

Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Police say a Colorado dentist... YES, a DENTIST... killed his wife by poisoning her protein shakes. And after he was arrested, he allegedly tried to commit a jailhouse murder-for-hire plot. It sounds like a Hollywood script, but the story of Dr. James Craig is real. He was the friendly neighborhood dentist, a father of six, and a Mormon, churchgoing husband, running a thriving dental practice in suburban Colorado.

So when his wife of 23 years, Angela Craig, landed in the hospital over and over again with a mysterious illness no one could diagnose, nobody suspected her husband. Not at first. But then Angela died, and the truth started oozing out of the woodwork. Now, Dr. James Craig is on trial, and this case is absolutely unhinged.

“Am I in Trouble?” Teacher Slapped with 50+ Sex Charges, Texts Boy From Italian Wedding | The Christina Formella Story

Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield — Thu, 26 Jun 2025 05:04:00 +0000

It started with a traffic stop, and ended with a married teacher sobbing in the back of a police car, asking if she was in trouble... But prosecutors say Christina Formella was more than just a teacher... They say she was a full-blown PREDATOR.

According to investigators, Christina Formella allegedly groomed a 14-year-old student over the course of two years, coaching him in soccer, tutoring him before school, and engaging in what they describe as an obsessive and illegal sexual relationship. And the evidence was ACTUALLY found in the teacher's phone: texts, manifestation lists, and a Notes app diary where she called the boy “disgusting” for cheating on her. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield analyzes the twisted case of Christina Formella and the digital trail that could put her behind bars for decades.

My Deep Dive with Vinnie Politan on the Verdict, Turtleboy, and Possibility of Wrongful Death Suit Against Karen Read?

Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield — Thu, 19 Jun 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Protesters in pink, waving American flags, chanting “Free Karen,” and yes… someone even showed up in a full German shepherd mask with a sign that said, "I bit him, I bit him, I bit him."

After seven long weeks of explosive testimony… clashing experts… and more sidebars than anyone bargained for… the wait is finally over. On Wednesday, after nearly 16 hours of deliberation, spanning four days, the jurors finally came to an agreement: not guilty on everything except the lesser charge of operating a vehicle under the influence.

In this episode, Ashleigh Banfield reunites with Court TV’s Vinnie Politan to unpack the surreal scene outside the Karen Read courthouse, where the crowd wasn’t just passionate, they were convinced she was framed. Vinnie shares what made this case unlike anything he’s ever seen, including how quickly the spotlight shifted from Read to Turtleboy, the blogger-turned-defendant facing his own day in court. They dive deep into what’s next for Karen, the real chances of a wrongful death suit, and the family still seeking justice for John O’Keefe. Plus, Ashleigh and Vinnie tackle the Diddy sex trafficking case, RICO charges, and whether Bryan Kohberger’s Idaho murder trial is about to get derailed.

"Six-Pack of White Women": Diddy's Jury Drama Unfolds

Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield — Thu, 08 May 2025 05:04:36 +0000

Day 3 of jury selection in Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking trial was anything but ordinary. From a potential juror admitting to binge-watching Star Wars instead of completing his questionnaire, to another expressing bias after viewing the infamous Cassie video, the courtroom saw its share of drama. Adding to the spectacle, attorney Mark Geragos faced a stern reprimand from Judge Arun Subramanian for referring to the prosecution team as a "six-pack of white women" on a podcast. As the pool of qualified jurors narrows, the question remains: can a fair and impartial jury be seated amidst the chaos?

Diddy’s Courtroom Circus: And We’re Only on Day Two

Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield — Wed, 07 May 2025 06:46:30 +0000

Jurors were dismissed for everything from daily marijuana use… to fainting at the mention of sex… to watching a Russian comedy video about the case. And prosecutors are already calling out Diddy’s legal team over a podcast rant by Mark Geragos. Ashleigh Banfield breaks down every bizarre twist from inside the courtroom on Day 2 of Jury Selection.

He was the king of Bad Boy Records: a billionaire mogul, a Grammy winner, and the face of luxury in hip-hop. Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing a slew of federal charges in New York, accused of running a criminal enterprise for over two decades. The indictment includes sex trafficking, racketeering, kidnapping, forced labor, and obstruction of justice... all tied to what prosecutors describe as a pattern of coercion, violence, and cover-ups. He’s also accused of transporting women across state lines for prostitution and orchestrating “freak-off” sex parties involving drugs and intimidation. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield — Wed, 07 May 2025 04:50:56 +0000

In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the digital evidence that could tilt the entire trial. Plus: blood samples in Solo cups, taillight shards pulled from the snow, and critical questions about whether police did enough to investigate the home on 34 Fairview Rd. Is this a case of drunken heartbreak spiraling out of control… or a woman being framed for murder? Ashleigh Banfield walks through all the day’s biggest moments.

Karen Read Trial Day 9: A "Confession", Red Solo Cups, & No Body On The Lawn??

Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield — Tue, 06 May 2025 08:00:00 +0000

A firefighter-paramedic says she heard Read confess, but never never wrote it down. Meanwhile, a party guest swears she’d been to the house over 20 times… but somehow forgot the family dog. And multiple witnesses say they saw Karen sitting in her SUV, but not the body prosecutors claim was lying in the snow. Nobody saw anything. Nobody remembers anything. So… is this a cover-up? Or just the worst collective memory in Massachusetts? In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down every angle of Day 9 in the Karen Read retrial.

Karen Read Trial Day 1: Murder or Setup?

Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 13:00:00 +0000

Was it a drunken accident… or a dirty setup? On Day 1 of Karen Read’s retrial, jurors heard two completely different stories. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield recaps opening statements and first witnesses.

Karen Read is once again facing a Massachusetts jury, accused of killing her Boston police officer boyfriend, John O’Keefe, by allegedly backing over him with her SUV after a night of drinking. But from the very beginning, this case hasn’t followed the usual script. Instead, it has erupted into a legal firestorm marked by sensational headlines, missing evidence, and a trial so tangled it’s divided an entire community and public opinions online.

Karen Read is facing 3 charges: Second-Degree murder, Manslaughter while operating under the influence, and leaving the scene of a fatal accident. The commonwealth says she hit John O'Keefe with her Lexus SUV in the middle of a snowstorm... then left him to die in the front yard of a fellow former Boston Police Officer’s home on 34 Fairview Rd. in Canton, MA. Karen Read says that house on 34 Fairview Road holds the answers, and that the people inside that house, including cops, are the ones hiding what really happened that night.

Amanda Knox: Trauma, Tabloids, and the Long Road Back from Hell

Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield — Thu, 10 Apr 2025 06:57:25 +0000

“Foxy Knoxy.” That’s the name the tabloids gave her. But behind the headlines, the salacious trial coverage, and the courtroom circus, Amanda Knox was a 20-year-old study-abroad student—wrongfully accused, globally vilified, and sentenced to 26 years for a murder she didn’t commit.

From her PTSD triggers to her complicated return to Italy, to a recent home break-in in the U.S. that shook her to her core, Amanda reveals how the trauma of wrongful conviction never truly fades.

Adolescence: The Netflix Series Haunting Every Parent

A 13-year-old boy. A murdered classmate. A justice system that doesn’t blink. Netflix’s "Adolescence" has shocked viewers with its raw, unflinching look at how far prosecutors will go, and how fast a child can become a criminal in the eyes of the law.

Together, they unpack the most disturbing moments from the series, and Dr. Duffy reveals the hidden warning signs, and why we so often miss the chance to save our boys before it’s too late.
