    German Luis Clerici UPDATE
    Jan 23 2026
    German Luis Clerici ("Jersey" to his friends) disappeared in January of 2010. Days later, his body was found in a rural Kansas culvert. His shoes were clean. His wallet was still on him. His car was missing. And for more than a decade, no one could explain what happened. In April 2021, Coffee & Cases became the only podcast to ever cover Jersey’s case — just months before new information surfaced and investigators reopened the investigation. That fresh look led to arrests, court proceedings, and finally, long-awaited answers. In this update episode, Allison revisits Jersey’s story to share what has been uncovered since that original episode aired: what happened inside the house where he was last seen, how evidence was concealed, how investigators were misled, and what the court documents now reveal about the choices made after his death. This episode also explores the questions that still remain — and what justice looks like when the truth arrives years late, but at last, arrives. Listeners are encouraged to listen to our April 22nd, 2021 episode on German Luis Clerici (reposted just last week for your convenience) for full context before listening to this update.

    Nyleen Kay Marshall
    Jan 16 2026
    On a sunny June afternoon in 1983, four-year-old Nyleen Kay Marshall disappeared during a family picnic in the Elkhorn Mountains of Montana. Other children last saw her talking to an unknown man in a purple jogging suit who told her to “follow the shadow.” What followed was one of the largest search efforts in Montana history—and decades of chilling letters from someone claiming to have kidnapped and raised her. This case would later intersect with the recovery of another missing child, adding a haunting twist no one expected. More than forty years later, Nyleen’s story remains unsolved—and deeply unsettling. Please also consider supporting Coffee and Cases by joining us over on our Patreon page!

    Apartment 14 and the case of Marie Elizabeth Spannhake
    Jan 8 2026
    In January 2000, a single mother named Jodi Foster moved with her young daughter into an apartment on Parmac Road in Chico, California—unaware that the unit had a dark and unfinished past. As unexplained disturbances escalated into terrifying dreams and a child’s repeated visions of a woman called “Myliz,” Jodi would eventually uncover a chilling connection to the 1976 disappearance of Marie Elizabeth Spannhake. Decades earlier, Spannhake vanished after walking home from a flea market. Could the haunting of Apartment 14 be tied to a crime never solved—and a voice that refused to be silenced? This episode explores the intersection of memory, place, and justice in one of California’s cold cases.
