Casefile

pc7

I was thinking

Did the wife kill beth, happen to bring the papers back for some reason? without getting the blood from them in the car. She could have changed her top hence why no pink mohair in beths house. Then she tells Fergus, then he snapped and killed her?

Thats not a bad theory at all. Its all very odd, especially considering there's very little about it online really. And the people of the area are very silent on it. One of the more bizarre cases!

They're so addictive Have you ever found one as good as Casefile? I'm always looking for new ones to check out.

My wife is addicted to Investigation Discovery and all the shows on there ("Informative Murder Porn", as South Park calls them), but she really made me laugh one day when she was telling me about one case where a man and his lover were plotting to murder the man's wife so they could be together and get married. They took their opportunity when she was recuperating at home after an operation... By bludgeoning her to death. And my wife was like "Amateurs, surely the obvious thing to do would be to overdose her on her prescription painkillers? No one would know it was them! :rolleyes:"

I didn't know whether to be terrified or proud :eek:

Thanks to this thread I've just started the Casefile podcast and it's really good! I've never listened to something like this before but it's kind of addictive.

Good short one n True crime sisters. They cover Australian cases and cover Beth Barnard. Worth a listen.

runningbuddy

I love podcasts but can't listen to really gruesome / disturbing ones. Love the mystery ones such as the Beth barnard one.

Listened to my First one yesterday Beth Barnard . Really liked it I also grew up in Australia so it has that added attraction for me . any recommendations of episodes ?

My girlfriend has said the same to me

stevveyg

east area rapist, Catholic mafia and Yorkshire ripper cases are my fave so far!
I only started listening to this podcast last month and like others are addicted!
So much so that i have stopped listening to everything else until I'm caught up!!

Basically all Casefile episodes ! Brilliantly narrated and researched.

Can't remember the name of the episode but other posters may recognise; it starts with the 911 call of a young Asian girl locked in her bedroom after a home invasion saw her parents violently attacked.

what a beginning to a pod:eek:

I actually just downloaded the first one . I decided to just start at the beginning ( after listening to the latest one )

Tina Watson always gets one of my top 3 episode votes, fantastically done.

Sherri Rasmussen - brilliant episode

how did she ring her friend the following day to ask about a cloth pattern & where was all the glass from the broken wine glass. It took 2 to cut her throat. Why she V be so passive to F & hand over custody of her kids

It's sounds like we have only about 15% of what really happened

Yara Gambirasio Is totally underrated here. The episodes about kids are not for everyone but the plot from that episode is so far fetched it's like east Enders.

That is a fantastic episode. I was amazed by the amount of effort the police put into solving that one.

Daniel Morcombe is one of the best episodes. It's a grim enough case - aren't they all! - but, man, was there some amazing police work at work there. Some of the real life audio is extraordinary.

Yes, the police work was amazing but such a grim case.

An interesting interview with the author of book The Phillip Island Murder was put up earlier.

optogirl

the Phillip Island case could be a podcast series all by itself.... amazing the secrecy surrounding it. Something is amiss.

kirk buttercup

finished the Wanda one as suggested . As a kid I would go to cronulla beach so this was shocking, never ever heard anything about this .

True crime sisters podcast cover this and the general consensus from the author of the book too is that there is a huge cover up.

shannonman81

Really reminds me it the Sophie toscan du plantier murder.
Seems there is more going on than meets the eye plus I would think Fergus's family are well aware of what happened.

I do think casefile is on fire at the moment, there were a couple of ropey episodes at the start of the year but since the silk road it's just but amazing.

Just listened to the Eriksson Twins episode.

What the actual fuck? What a mental story. Seeing the BBC video as well just enhanced what a crazy story that was.

That was the first one I ever listened to and it actually scared the shlt out of me

I've just discovered this podcast. I really enjoy the no nonsense, drama free way he presents the cases. There are an awful lot of them however! Do people have a top 5 or top 10 episodes they'd recommend?

pc7

Think the same few pop up as tops regularly fixxxer, - Jennifer Pan, Daniel Morcombe (very sad but so well done), Tina Watson, Sherri Rasmussen, Silk Road (very different, loved it), to name a few. I liked EAR 3 parter but it divided opinion on here.

This question pops up a lot

The best for me are (Jennifer Pan is no.1 , the rest in no particular order)

- Jennifer Pan
- Tina Watson
- Port Arthur
- Peter Falconio
- Sherri Rasmussen
- The Catholic Mafia
- Snowtown

The East Area Rapist 1 - 5. Very detailed and graphic, if a little too long
The Moor Murders and Silk Road are great too

Will I Am Not

I thought the Alcatraz two parter was brilliantly done.

fixXxer

That's great, much appreciated. Lot's of good listening there

WTF!?

Loved the Beth Barnard one. Worthy of a second listen I think.

Does anyone think Vivian is still alive somewhere?

Likewise. Just too grim and sadistic a case for me.
