About this index

MrBallen, by the numbers

Casepin has matched 20 videos from MrBallen, the YouTube channel, to 20 published case files. The indexed videos were published between May 2020 and May 2026. Together they run to about 6 hours of viewing and listening.

The cases span 8 countries, led by United States (13), Australia (1) and Bulgaria (1). They range in date from 1803 to 2021. The earliest is Hammersmith Ghost murder case (1803); the most recent case is Killing of Gabby Petito (2021). Within United States, the most-covered places are California (2), Wisconsin (1) and Wyoming (1). By decade, the busiest are the 2010s (5), the 2000s (4) and the 1970s (3).

By the legal status recorded on each file, 12 are unsolved, 7 solved and 1 cold. New to the catalog? Killing of Gabby Petito is a good first file.

Other creators in the index covered many of the same cases; the largest overlaps are with Dr. Todd Grande (9), That Chapter (7) and Kendall Rae (7). The average indexed video runs about 18 minutes. The newest one matched so far is “Monaco's wealthiest woman had a SECRET hater...”, from May 2026.

Casepin links to MrBallen’s work and never re-hosts it. Every case file is cited; open one to see everyone else who covered it.

New to MrBallen? Begin with Killing of Gabby Petito.

Gabby Petito, a 22-year-old travel vlogger, was killed by strangulation and blunt-force trauma in August 2021 while on a cross-country van trip with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie. Laundrie returned to Florida alone, was named a person of interest, and later died by suicide, leaving a note admitting he had killed her.
