    Anyone who enjoyed The Silk Road 3 parter, the audiobook American Kingpin - which is heavily referenced - is available on youtube.

    Great episode. I didn’t know they put audio books on YouTube.

    The "a dingo took/ate my baby" episode. 2 hrs long.
    I remember the case when I was young but never found out the truth behind it.
    Another sad case very well done.

    Didn't even finish the dingo one as didn't grab me at all.

    I knew the story and the details of the court case and it didn't stand up well as a piece imo if you had a fair bit of prior info on it.


    Hopefully this week's one is more interesting.

    the latest one about murders in California in the 70's is decent.
    has some parallels at the end to the golden state killer.

    Really enjoyed that dingo one. Thought they did a great job on it, even though its a fairly well known case.

    Listened to the Silk Road and Moors Murders series there while on holiday a while ago. Fantastic.

    I just listened to the Moors Murders recently too. I’d always heard about it without really knowing much of the details. Another good one is the Yorkshire Ripper. (I’m going through the series backwards).

    I think I've listened to pretty much every Casefile episode now but I enjoy going back through old series I enjoyed. The Belanglo series is also fantastic, in case you didn't hear it. And the Golden State Killer series.

    Belango was one of the most disturbing cases in my in opinion. Up there with The Toy Box and the Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs (case 92). Which ones are the Golden State Killer? I had a look but couldn’t see it.

    Don't think they needed to do 5 episodes on it though, it got a bit relentless by the end. Though his follow up when they announced the caught they bloke was brilliant.

    If sort of worked at the time for me somehow (was sort of hypnotic going through all the attacks) although I wouldn't listen to it again and with the whole show becoming not as effective as it used to be in general if they released it now I might hate it.

    Thanks. I downloaded them last week but skipped over it temporarily as I wanted a break from the rapist/serial killers episodes.

    I had heard of todays one before. It doesn't shock me unless its in an era that's tangible to me.



    Sure weren't they all rapers and murderers back then anyway. The world was a lawless kip until the TV was invented ;)

    The Dennis Nilsen series has been the best thing they've done in ages - they were danger of becoming a bit boring there for a while - but if you're already familiar with the case it doesn't give much more new information or stuff you haven't heard before. But I'm sure for 95% of listeners it's a fresh case: not everybody has read about in Wikipedia.

    It is fcking mad though. The human sludge clogging the drainpipe - ugggh.

    I had never heard of the case. I was listening to the first episode while out on a run and it literally stopped me in my tracks. The gruesome detail was overwhelmingly.

    Serial killers did a podcast on this guy too. It's also being made into a show, I think David Tennant is playing the part.

    Hey guys. Listening to this one for the last year or so. Have to say it was once my favourite podcast. Has anyone found that the recent episodes just aren’t as good?

    I think They Walk Amongst Us is in a class of its own at the moment. I've been banging that drum for a while now, it's seriously underrated compared to other shows with far more listeners.

    I'm always looking for something along the same lines, but I've yet to find it. Ultra dry and straight to the facts with no bullshyte. Our own Mens Rea is probably the closest, but TWAU is a bit slicker and is once a week, rather than a fortnight. Not slagging Mens Rea - it's a great show in it's own right.


    Casefile is still pretty great overall. The Denis Nilsen three parter was a return to form, but, yes, the quality of individual episodes was higher back at the start. Every case seemed to have some crazy twist or turn in it - a lot of the stuff in the last years has been pretty meat and potatoes

    This entire case is utterly horrendous. Barrymore knows too well who raped that guy to death. Strong possibility he is one of the perpatrators too

    There is a 4-part documentary called 'Murder in the Outback' just after starting now on Channel 4 about Peter Falconio (Case 44 on Casefile)... looks like it could be good.

    I'm almost certain that he covered that one before? I've definitely heard that police interview audio before. Maybe it was another podcast entirely, but the story seemed familiar.
