In this case, there wasn't just one suspect. After 17-year-old Stephanie Casberg was murdered in 1969, police
00:00:06
chased down lead after lead, and almost every direction pointed to someone different. For a split second, there was
00:00:13
her father. Rumors spread that he had found out about her secret boyfriend and killed her. Police even asked him
00:00:19
directly, and he responded by laughing and said if he had done it, they would have never found her, which is not a
00:00:25
normal answer in my opinion. But as weird as that response was, her dad isn't the strongest suspect in my mind.
00:00:31
In fact, he isn't considered a suspect at all. There were also the men from her workplace, like a cook named Michael
00:00:37
Bartelt. Michael told police he saw Stephanie leave that night, but then changed his story years later, and said
00:00:43
he probably wasn't even there. And right after she was killed, he left the state
00:00:47
and lied to police about where he went. Then came a pretty dark lead about a man
00:00:52
named Wilbert Macky. His own son claimed that he was a serial killer who forced his daughter to help him dispose of a
00:00:59
body near Route 23, which is one of the places where Stephanie's remains were found. Every lead felt possible at one
00:01:04
point, but some were totally disproven, and the others couldn't be proven definitively. And to this day, no one
00:01:10
has ever been charged. But now, there may be a new suspect. Watch our full investigation into the murder of
