Casefile

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 .

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

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.

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?

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

Listening to the tape of the girl was the worst thing ever on casefile

Absolutely. Doesn't even bear thinking about.

Just finished listening to Case 80: Beth Barnard

WTF!?

retro:electro

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.

Can't listen either to be honest.

I just don't know. A very bizarre case.

Odd how everyone seemed to close ranks too. Maybe it's just "small town mentality"

It is fantastic. Most of the episodes are really good. It's worth listening to them all. But some of the standouts are Silk Road, EAR, The Scuba Diving one and Jennifer Pan.

But there are so many good ones to be honest.

siblers

Don't think anyone here mentioned Port Arthur. It's the very first one I listened to and it blew me away.


The Catholic Mafia is also a personal favourite as its quite different from the other episodes.

There's only a handful of episodes I didnt like

Bunny Colvin

I only stumbled across Casefiles recently and I have to say it's brilliant - especially the cases you're not familiar with.

I've listened to less than ten so I've plenty to get through. Great to listen to when you're cleaning the house or at something else mundane.

Bonkers! Love that they do different stories rather than just the big ones. Enjoyed this week (ep 81), you couldn’t make it Up!
