Elizabeth “Libby” Caswell was just 21 years old when she was found dead inside Room 319 of a motel in Independence, Missouri.
Her manner of death was ruled undetermined, but for Libby’s family, that was never an answer. In the days leading up to her death, Libby told multiple people she didn’t feel safe and was trying to rebuild her life and get her son back.
In this video, we’re walking through Libby’s story, the investigation, and the major questions that still remain.
If you have information about Libby’s case, contact the Independence Police Department Investigations Unit at 816-325-7330 or the Police Information Desk at 816-325-7300. Anonymous tips in the area can also be submitted through Greater Kansas City Crime Stoppers at 816-474-8477.
If you or someone you know needs help with domestic violence, Hope House can be reached at 816-461-4673.
