Case Files with Kat and Ashley

In this week’s episode, Kat explores the story of Lisa Knoefel, a woman who opened her home to offer safety, stability, and a second chance.
Instead, she brought something far more dangerous inside.
In November 2012, Lisa was killed in her own home—but what followed would reveal something far more calculated… and far more personal.
And the person responsible might not be who you think.

In the tiny farming town of Skidmore, Missouri, nearly fifty people stood on Main Street and watched Ken McElroy die in broad daylight.
When police arrived, every single witness said the same thing.
“I didn’t see anything.”
In this episode, Kat dives into the story of the man known as the “town bully,” the decades of fear that built up in Skidmore, and the shocking day when an entire town closed ranks and refused to identify a killer.
