There is an excellent episode on the Elaine O' Hara murder.
Yeah they handled it really well.
holy moly, todays case is so disturbing, absolutely fooked up
Just finished listening now. I wasn't expecting that ending!
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
No new episode this week?
Although I always thought they took a midseason break, and an end of year break.
What a boring episode (216)
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.
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.
What episode is that again?
One of the first 5 i reckon
Somerton man is case #2
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
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.
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...
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!
That was insane truly insane I'm still struggling to wrap my head around it.
I mean... why? There's literally no explanation. Other than - they're depraved, but even then there'd usually be some sort of piss poor reason.
And the prison sentences are like something in this country - pitiful. Thought people would do harder time for child abuse in the Czech Republic.
I'd imagine their jails are a bit tougher but yeah it makes no sense like there's absolutely no reason for it at all just severe mental disturbance? The thing about the father being in a cult might explain some of it. Did you look up the pictures of the "daughter" it's mad!
The more I hear of cases like that, the more I just feel the death penalty should be used for child abusers. They bring nothing good or worthwhile to the earth, we are over populated, just cull them (painfully).
Yeah she's obviously severely messed up by her childhood, but the two sisters - the mother and aunt of the boys - what caused them to behave so demonically?

It makes me enraged that those absolute monsters are free.
Seriously deranged stuff and the fact they were only caught by the neighbours baby monitor is mad.
It's back and the first episode is part one of 3 on Fred and Rose West.
Forgive me if im wrong but was that not covered before? Maybe it was a different podcast however i dont really listen to any other true crime ones only Casefile and even that isnt as frequent ad before now either.
I did a quick search of Casefile podcasts and they haven't done Fred & Rose West before.
Maybe you are thinking of Ian Brady & Myra Hindly?
No definitly not those two i remember that one too. Jesus England was a f×cked up place back in those days between the wests, the moors murderers and the yorkshire ripper among others.
You wait weeks for a new casefile and you get THREE Fred west episodes. Anyone worth their salt In the pod world wouldn't cover this. Done to absolute death.
Casefile has gone from a must listen to pod to basic bitch radio. Terrible...yet again.
