    I think Gen why or True Crime Garage did that one, I heard it before. Mad stuff, wrong time, wrong place.

    Absolutely horrific. Poor guy. True crime grapple covered it. Much better than Casefile. Explores the history of crime and violence in Mexico too.

    So well narrated. The only salvation for me was the fact that his parents have such strong faith...really seemed to help them through it.

    gruesome last 1/2 hour in that episode alright.

    the fact that yer man wasn't bothered when he lops off the head of a hooded boy and finds out that it was his cousin says it all.

    The last one Hinterkaifeck was seemed disjointed in terms of narrative so I didn't even finish it.

    The subject matter also was not great.

    Folks, I’m enjoying trawling through the case file archives picking random ones to listen to, what would be your top 3 episodes for me to check out?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,000 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    The episode about the Port Arthur mass killings in Tasmania is something else. Forget what episode it is sorry.

    Tina Watson
    Jennifer Pan
    Daniel Morcombe (one of the saddest, his fathers words really stuck with me,)


  • Registered Users Posts: 861 ✭✭✭tomwaits48


    So I just listened to the Daniel M one, wow, what an episode. Won’t post anything for fear of spoilers but that was utterly gripping. Thanks for the tip.

    Any multi part episode was good too.

    The Silk Road episodes are different and excellent. I wish they would do more of the same.


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 14,124 Mod ✭✭✭✭pc7


    Case 125 this week was very sad, glad they got closure.

    Is it just me who finds most of the episodes draggy and tired these days?

    The magic is gone mostly

    I have been thinking this also but I think we have become desensitized to murders!!!

    I am still enjoying moat of the episodes though.

    Just don't find the cases being done interesting tbh. I feel that the narrator is not giving it as much also.

    At the start he used write the material now he's just reading it out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,402 ✭✭✭✭Fr Tod Umptious


    Like others I have found them to be a bit less gripping than previously

    But 126 Johnny Altinger.
    Straight out of Criminals Minds, chilling to say the least


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,996 ✭✭✭optogirl


    Dateline have now released loads of their episodes as podcasts - very well done, lots of first hand interviews and hilariously OTT delivery from the hosts. I've burned through about 40 of them in the past couple of weeks. Some heart breakers in there though - thought I was fairly immune by now but was in tears at some of them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 687 ✭✭✭megapixel


    Any other podcast similar to this? I love the delivery and detail but struggling to find others where the presenters voice does not make me want to turn off or the reenactment of the event.
    Thanks in advance.

    Mens Rea is a good Irish one.

    Has anyone tried the new one Casefile have released Silent Waves? Is it worth a listen?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,068 ✭✭✭runningbuddy


    The new episode is fantastic.

    The one with the French family? Intriguing story. Very well told.

    Yes, the very one. Crazy story. I just don't what to think
    HE HAS TO BE DEAD ??

    Logically I'd agree, but there's something incredibly odd about that whole thing.
    With the letter about the undercover work etc
    . I really hope more light is shed on that case at some stage!

    It's a very bizarre tale alright. However,
    he was financially ****ed.. he was probably driven to despair and cracked but how could he just disappear with no money ??


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,798 ✭✭✭BonsaiKitten


    The new episode (130) was gripping but so infuriating. I just wanted to reach through the screen and shake people.


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 14,124 Mod ✭✭✭✭pc7


    It was crazy, his poor family.
    I feel so many more where responsible by the fact they did nothing to stop or help. Felt the judge was far too lenient too,if that was a US case lots of them would have been charged too rightly or wrongly

    Just listened to the French case. Absolutely mad story and one that seems tailor made for a future Netflix documentary!

    Very well told as well. Had me hooked.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,457 ✭✭✭✭dastardly00


    Also just listened to the French case.

    The story at the end where a guy was arrested in Scotland... I was like 'wow he was alive all along and they have caught him' and then it turns out it wasn't him. It was like Casefile decided to troll the listeners :pac:

    the female lead in this story reminded me of my mates (now ex, thankfully) fiance. the phrase dodged a bullet springs to mind!!!

    The one this weekend about the young guy and the girl being killed and with subsequent crimes was good I thought.

    Best one in a while.
    and they guy was eventually caught because he was snared having a pedal and crank in a car a broad daylight lol

    It reminded me of the episodes from when the pod started out.
    Started re-listening to a few Jennifer Pan and port Arthur.
    They were real ground breaking and set such a gold standard for all true crime podcasts.

    The Joe Cinque case was very disturbing to listen to.
    It's frightening that someone can just murder someone out of pure spite and envy then plead insanity to get away with it. And all along, people knew about the girl's plans but didn't utter a word to anybody. Horrifying.


  • Registered Users Posts: 861 ✭✭✭tomwaits48


    So I’ve just randomly listened to episode 52: Mary and Beth Stauffer, holy Jesus!! When the narrator does the voices of the protagonists it’s gas.


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 14,124 Mod ✭✭✭✭pc7


    Oh no :( went to down load today’s and seen it’s Riu Pedro. His story was on the recent Madeline documentary and I was left so upset for his family. (Won’t say as I’m sure some will listen). But this story is up there with Daniel Morcombe. It really haunted me after seeing it on the show. So big time listener beware.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,068 ✭✭✭runningbuddy


    new one is absolutely heartbreaking.

    Just finished listening to it and thoroughly enjoyed it. It looked at sex abuse and the psychological effects it has on victims and their families from a number of different points of view, some I had not considered before.


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


    Anyone else find the background music in the latest epodode (the santa claus robbery ) really jarring. It sounds much louder and more intrusive than usual. I handt even noticed music before. Now its all i can hear.


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 14,124 Mod ✭✭✭✭pc7


    Wasn’t going to listen to this weeks as said was interview, but really good listen. It’s the soldier who reported his fellow soldiers for killing/raping family in Iraq.

    Was absolutely fascinating. Really added some background to what was a terrible case.

    I must give it a go. I haven't listened to Casefile in about 3 months. This episode sounds interesting

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