Hey, everyone. Welcome to Crimly Obsessed. I'm Ann Emerson. St. Patrick's Day is coming up, and it's supposed to be the luckiest day of the year, but for a young mom in Ohio, it was her last. Casey Pitzer was born in a tiny rural town in Ohio, and on St. Patrick's Day, 13 years ago, she put on her new cowboy boots and headed out to the local bars, ready to blow off a little steam with her girlfriends. But Casey never made it back home. And the only clue to what really happened to the young mom was her teal green cowboy boots found by a retention pond not far from her body. The investigation into her death left her father cold. I'm here today with Greg Pitzer, Casey's dad, and Daryl Petrie, who is the Pitzer family advocate. Beyond local news coverage, no one's really delved into this case until now. Our criminally obsessed documentary, Dead Silence, the Casey Pitzer Investigation, is coming out March 6th. So let's get into it. Well, thank you so much for joining me today. The documentary was incredibly powerful, and you both speak so eloquently about Casey and what happened. Greg, you're Casey's father. Tell me what kind of girl she was.

Yeah.

It's. You run into a lot of people that you know, and. Yep. Casey. She didn't have any type of, like, troubled past or any type of criminal convictions. No, he was. She was a responsible person, and it was just another responsible evening. I mean, I know she's portrayed as, like, this stumbling drunk, but the. The video contradicts that.
