I was like promised me you're going to call me back and she said I promise and

click and that was it and that was the last I spoke to her.

In 2017 Libby Caswell was found dead in a motel room in Independence, Missouri.

She was 21 years old, a young mom working hard to get by.

The police investigation was brief. This is not a homicide, this is a suicide. But Libby's mom doesn't believe the official story.

I thought, well, they must have missed this fingernail. It wasn't until much later and I thought well they must have missed this fingernail it wasn't until much later and I thought why would they not search the car

She assembled a team of experts who looked at the evidence and think Libby was murdered.

We have a term called J.D.L.R. which means just don't look right.

Libby's case stands out in my mind and keeps me awake at night.

Seoner or later, somebody talks.

My name is Melissa Jeltson.

I'm a reporter who covers violence against women.

On season two of my podcast, What Happened to,

I take a closer look at Libby Caswell's life and death.

She was just like a bright happy person.

Libby would get me and said, Nathan, I don't know, something,

some just seems off right now.

I've spent the last year talking to Libby's friends and family,

uncovering details of her life and the secrets that may have endangered it.

I knew she was doing something, but she just wouldn't admit it to me at first.

And so I was like, you know, kind of like what did he just hit her?

She told me like she was done, like she's done going back and forth, you know, she's finally going to do what she needed to do for her.
