    I think the Snowtown case was taken down recently. Maybe they're doing an expanded series on it, or maybe there was some inaccuracies or something.

    EDIT: Apparently someone made a complaint about some references to the LGBTQIA community. You can still find it on Internet Archive though.

    I started to listen to it today but there were so many warnings about murder, sexual assault, mutiliation, torture, suicide, animal cruelty. I gave it a miss.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,261 ✭✭✭carrollsno1


    The film about Snowtown is on Youtube by god its a tough tough watch things were definitly not simple for the individuals involved.

    Is this about Snowtown? Its a tough listen however there was one released about the same time as Snowtown and i found it tougher listen too, it had court recordings and crimes were commited by a mother against her children iirc.

    Just listened to

    Case 197: The Austrian Ripper

    the other day.

    That is one crazy story and very much exposes the liberal rehabilitation fallacy that just doesn't work in the case of complete fcuking psychopaths!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,345 ✭✭✭PropJoe10


    That was a crazy one alright. Casefile's content in the second part of 2021 was really really good.

    Wouldn't say all good - they improved from a low enough bar and had some good content but I would say that they lost a fair few listeners during that extended "trough" period.



  • Registered Users Posts: 221 ✭✭Schindlers Pissed


    I listened to the Jonestown trilogy lately….it was excellent, I learned lots that I didn’t previously know too.

    They didn’t know he was a psychopath when they released him. Consequently he had never been treated for his disorder, so it is hardly surprising that he worsened.

    Just bad luck because he wasn’t as dumb as they had considered him to be.



  • Posts: 18,962 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    but it's not just "bad luck", far from it.

    he was released early on parole from a life sentence by campaigns and pressure from self-satisified "Eamon Ryan" cafe shite-talker self-stlyed soft-talking "intellectual" Vienna equivalents after Unterweger managed to pen some prison-time drivel scribblings.

    The Viennese cafe-slurping gobshites didn't consider him "dumb" at all but rather a paradigm of rehabilitation who should be released early so that he could join their ranks (and he did slurp with the best of them and spout rubbish on suitable talking-head tv shows also) as an "auteur" worthy of consideration.

    his subsequent rehabilitation into Austrian society by the Viennese cafe intellectuals who campaigned for his early release, leading to a pardon from the president at the time, Kurt Waldheim.

    So whereas during the time that he would and should have remained locked up, save for the "good and great" of the cafe-society "intellectual" set (massive Dunning-Kruger sufferers as it turned out), bould Jack went on to rack up 11 kills across different continents in the 3 years of early-release time that he had on his hands before being finally caught. if he had gone on to serve, as he should a longer sentence he would have been a less physical threat to women when he finally got out and certainly less capable in his favoured method of strangulation.

    Of course he should have remained locked up, but he also should have been diagnosed and treated adequately. He wasn’t at the time, and the combination of incompetence and social justice warrior campaigns offered him a ticket out. It’s not like anyone wanted him out to cull prostitutes in the streets.

    It was a very good and informative episode.



  • Registered Users Posts: 221 ✭✭Schindlers Pissed


    Yesterday I listened to Case 171, The Gladbeck Hostage Crisis. What the actual f*ck were the German police thinking of?? I thought they were supposed to be super efficient! Quite incredible what the media were allowed to do. Here’s a good clip I found on YouTube.

    Big and well-known case out this week! A four-parter as well.



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 14,190 Mod ✭✭✭✭pc7


    Yeah seen it in downloads on Saturday, I didn't even start it, feel its so over done. Was quite disaapointed after such a long break to come back with that one. Zodiac if anyone hasnt see it, you don't need to be a patreon, first episode is out free. I might wait until they all drop, but wasn't too enthused.



  • Posts: 18,962 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Listened to some of the first Zodiac episode - a bit all over the place I found in the way that it's presenting it.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,128 ✭✭✭Fattybojangles


    The Truro Murders one was excellent I thought as well.



  • Registered Users Posts: 221 ✭✭Schindlers Pissed


    I listened to case 122 the other day, Louise Bell….very interesting, lots of twists and turns.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,261 ✭✭✭carrollsno1


    Is Casey presenting it in different tones at times too? Also three bloody ad breaks (so far in what ive listened to it)

    Yes very well done indeed, listened to felons one about it before but had forgotten the most part of it. Spent a good while in Adelaide and South Australia too, made the case a very visual one for me

    Better living everyone



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,064 ✭✭✭chases0102


    Late to this Podcast, just listened to one of the early episodies (just plucked a case I had a vague knowledge of -Wells and Chapman case) and sounds great.

    loads of episodes, can anyone recommend episodes, or a top ten list! I see some Irish cases on it too.



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 14,190 Mod ✭✭✭✭pc7


    Tina Watson

    daniel Morcombe (hard listen but some police work)

    Jennifer Pan


    they come to mind as Casefile at its best for me off the top of my head.

    The Butcher Baker

    Daniel Morcombe

    The Woman without a face

    Gladbach Hostage crisis

    Nicholas Barclay

    Yosemite Sightseer murders

    Hinterkaifeck

    Belangelo

    Peter Nielsen

    Lesley Molseed

    Port Arthur

    Weepy voice killer

    The somerton man.

    Listen to any of them and you won't go wrong IMO.



  • Registered Users Posts: 221 ✭✭Schindlers Pissed


    I listened to episode 50 on my walk yesterday and today, Jennifer Pan. A really good listen…it included the original call to 911 and excerpts from police interviews. Very good.



  • Registered Users Posts: 221 ✭✭Schindlers Pissed


    I listened to The Strip Search Hoax yesterday.....you’d have to wonder about the boyfriend of the manageress.....was he “just following orders” or was he as bad as the freak who was making the calls.



  • Posts: 18,962 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Not sure why but Casefile Number 28 Lindsay Buziak always stuck with me.

    Great episode imo, one of the best.

  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 12,304 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kingp35


    I have to say I didn't really enjoy the Zodiak four parter. I'm not really sure why, it was almost too detailed for me and my mind ended up wandering during a lot of it.



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 14,190 Mod ✭✭✭✭pc7


    Much better this week, awful story wasn’t at all familiar with it.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,128 ✭✭✭Fattybojangles


    Just listened to it yesterday crazy stuff was not expecting it.



  • Posts: 18,962 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]



    Thought that CASE 205: BERND BRANDES was excellently written imo

    Original way to tell a story, especially from the two perspectives, which you wouldn't have thought would have worked well for a podcast

    Great job

    Has there ever been an Irish story of murder on Casefile?



  • Registered Users Posts: 958 ✭✭✭Murdoc90


    There is an excellent episode on the Elaine O' Hara murder.



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 14,190 Mod ✭✭✭✭pc7


    Yeah they handled it really well.



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 14,190 Mod ✭✭✭✭pc7


    holy moly, todays case is so disturbing, absolutely fooked up



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,203 ✭✭✭bottlebrush


    Just finished listening now. I wasn't expecting that ending!



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,257 ✭✭✭BettePorter


    This weeks case Jayna Murray was back to the Casefile of old ! Really compelling and well told. Have missed those kind of cases.

    Didn't think that much of this week's one tbh

    The one about the two Swede's in New Zealand was much better imo as it had an interesting twist and the best recently was the German cannibal one



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,128 ✭✭✭Fattybojangles


    No new episode this week?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,527 ✭✭✭RichT


    Although I always thought they took a midseason break, and an end of year break.



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,412 ✭✭✭Jequ0n


    What a boring episode (216)



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,128 ✭✭✭Fattybojangles


    I thought it was interesting albeit more appropriate for a history podcast rather than true crime.

    For fans of older episodes of Casefile.

    Somerton Man has been identified.




  • Registered Users Posts: 1,435 ✭✭✭Scoundrel


    Yeah I read this yesterday nearly jumped off my seat 😆. I wonder what is his connection to Jessica Thomson it can't jus be a coincidence he had her number on him.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,541 ✭✭✭✭MEGA BRO WOLF 5000


    What episode is that again?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,261 ✭✭✭carrollsno1


    Better living everyone



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,086 ✭✭✭markc1184


    Somerton man is case #2



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,524 ✭✭✭The Davestator


    I love Casefile, but I hate when they do cases that don't have an outcome. To spend an hour listening to something and then its 'to this date, nobody has been charged' is so annoying because you don't hear about the guilty person, their motives, background etc.

    There has to be enough cases that were solved and surely they would be more interesting for the team



  • Posts: 18,962 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Casefile used to do more of those cases at the outset but afair have really decreased the frequency since.

    But I disagree on the idea that they aren't good cases.

    For example, I personally think that Case 28: Lindsay Buziak is one of the best episodes of all because there were several different possibilities brilliantly touched upon.

    Also, at the time, The East Area Rapist was unsolved but I found that series mesmeric.

    Not liking the new "3 series of ads in one short episode trend" though like in this week's episode.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,541 ✭✭✭✭MEGA BRO WOLF 5000


    Another episode that's starts with "this case is about the abuse of children", yeah, I'd say at this stage 99% of case files start out like this.

    And another convoluted mess of an episode...



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    The Lindsay Buziak one is excellent all right. I think once the listener is made aware early on that it's an unsolved case, it's very different to building, building, building... and then nothing. Like last week's Karina one. That was frustrating.

    Today's one... Good Jesus - talk about harrowing. I thought it was well presented though. For convoluted, check out Trace Evidence!



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,435 ✭✭✭Scoundrel


    That was insane truly insane I'm still struggling to wrap my head around it.
