About this episode

This episode covers the chilling murder case of Morgan Bauer, detailing the investigation, trial, and the eventual justice served.

Seven agonizing years. Zero traces. And a chilling web of occult obsession, digital breadcrumbs, and a secret confession that finally blew a cold case wide open. In this episode of Crime Salad, we break down the shocking trial and verdict of the Morgan Bauer murder case. Back in February 2016, 19-year-old Morgan packed up her life in South Dakota and moved to Atlanta, Georgia, with a dream of a fresh start. Just weeks later, she vanished completely. For years, her family fought tirelessly for answers while her killers, Kaytlin Goebel and Jonathan "Alex" Warren, moved on with their lives across state lines. It wasn't until a bitter divorce in 2023, a brave ex-husband, and a relentless true-crime podcaster that the truth finally surfaced. We walk you through the horrifying details revealed in court, the dark social media posts under the alias "Lilith Chaos," the gruesome trial arguments, and how a Newton County jury handed down a swift, definitive verdict in August 2026. Tune in as we honor Morgan Bauer's memory, examine the twists of a multi-jurisdictional investigation, and look at how justice was finally served.
