Recontandocasos

The name translates roughly to "Retelling Cases" in English — "recontar" means to retell and "casos" means cases. The channel lives up to its name by presenting true crime cases, mysteries, and theories in a conversational storytelling style, with the host framing each episode as an intimate chat in their living room rather than a formal documentary.

Yes, Recontandocasos covered the Sade Robinson case in a video titled "The first date hid a dark plan." Sade Robinson was killed in 2024 by Maxwell Anderson during what was framed as a romantic first date — a case that spread rapidly across true crime communities and social media worldwide.

Recontandocasos dedicated a video to the Matthew Hoffman case under the title "4 people went missing and a hollow tree hid the truth." Hoffman was an Ohio man who abducted and murdered people in 2010, concealing remains inside hollow trees — a detail that made the case one of the most disturbing discoveries in recent American true crime history.

Recontandocasos covered a case titled "O crime que fez um pai desejar a pior sentença para o próprio filho" — meaning "The crime that made a father wish the harshest sentence on his own son." The video examines what Dylan did that was so extreme his own father publicly sided with justice over family, which the channel explores as both a criminal case and a deeply personal human story.

Recontandocasos covered the Nicole Van Den Hurk case in a video titled "The lie that brought justice nearly 25 years later." Nicole Van Den Hurk was a young Dutch woman murdered in 1995 whose case took decades to resolve properly, involving a wrongful conviction before DNA evidence eventually identified the real perpetrator.

Recontandocasos covers both Brazilian and international cases, with a clear appetite for high-profile crimes from the United States and Europe. Recent videos have featured the Sade Robinson murder in the US, the Nicole Van Den Hurk case from the Netherlands, and the Matthew Hoffman abductions in Ohio, all narrated for a predominantly Brazilian Portuguese-speaking audience.

The família Recontando Casos — Portuguese for "Recontando Casos family" — is the name the host gives to their community of subscribers and viewers. It reflects the channel's warm, conversational tone: the host frames every episode as inviting you into their living room to discuss a case together, which helps explain why audience engagement runs far above what most channels in the category see.

Recontandocasos posts new videos on Tuesdays, which the host states directly in their channel bio: "espero você as terças" — "I'll be waiting for you on Tuesdays." The channel has maintained a consistent weekly upload schedule, giving its audience a reliable day to expect new cases.

Recontandocasos is primarily a YouTube channel, but its format is deeply podcast-influenced — the host narrates each case in a long-form, conversational style that feels more like a spoken story than a produced documentary. The channel uses the #podcast hashtag, suggesting the content may also exist or be evolving into an audio format alongside its YouTube home.

Recontandocasos has worked with NordVPN, the language-learning app Babbel, and Insider Store. Babbel is a notably fitting partner given that the channel covers international cases in both Portuguese and English, attracting viewers curious about crimes from beyond Brazil.
