About This Episode
What is this episode about?
The episode "What Lies in the Woods: 2" from Case Closed continues the serialized reading of the audiobook What Lies in the Woods, written by Kate Alice Marshall and narrated by Karissa Vacker.

Hosts and release
Case Closed is a true crime podcast exploring both real and fictional crimes, with Charlie Spicer serving as host. The show releases two new episodes per week and is produced by Macmillan, with 73 episodes currently available across Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeart. The show's current season centers on the disappearance of 19-year-old Erin Corwin, though this particular episode departs from that season's true crime focus to serialize a work of fiction instead.
This second episode in the What Lies in the Woods series runs 50 minutes and was released on November 10, 2026. As a serialized audiobook reading rather than a true crime investigation, the episode offers listeners a different format within the broader Case Closed lineup — one that blends the show's stated mission of covering both real and invented crimes. Listeners following the audiobook from the beginning will find this episode a direct continuation of the story, maintaining the same narration and pacing established in the opening installment.
