3 parts into that series now. Jesus it is rough stuff. Excellently presented though. That's a really good podcast.

Yeah, it seems like a great podcast.

It's annoying that they don't have any details of the cases in the episode titles though.

Any other good multiparters to get started with it? I've already found the Kray twins. (sorry for going off topic)

The latest one, Michael Dippolito was brilliant. Superbly told, I was working it out as I went along. Banging return to form.

Started listening to “court junkie” afterwards and it’s so convoluted and confusing, throwing 10+ names of people at you in 5 minutes, a disaster compared to casefile.

That three parter was grim. I’m not a fan when they tell you exactly who did what right from the start, it’s kind of boring, I much preferred the latest episode where it’s almost a story youre listening to.

The latest case this week

, I was heartbroken for the mother when the police got a DNA match only to discover it was the boyfriend’s who had nothing to do with the murder.

Ugh, as a story though it’s kinda meh. Like you invest one hour into a pod that could have been told in two minutes. The format of the previous one with the dippolitos was amazing and now we’re gone back to this.

el_gaucho · 15-06-2020 10:42am

Remember Case 44? It was about Peter Falconio and his girlfriend Joanne Lees. There is a four-part documentary series about the case called Murder in the Outback. It’s on the All4 app.

It's a real-life case. I think it was well worthwhile doing,

especially seeing as the case has never been solved

. If it brings some publicity to a sad situation then I'm glad to have invested an hour in it.

adrian522 · 24-06-2020 8:47pm

I'll be gone in the dark, new documentary covering the East Area Rapist that was covered in case file some time back.

It's on HBO from June 28th, Sky from August 30th.

I have a lot of episodes backed up since episode 137. I'm not going to listen to then all, but were any great ones? Muswell hill and beryl and Geraldine Evans are multi part episodes, i assume they're good. Anything else?

As someone commented upthread, 143 - Leigh Leigh was rough, even by Casefile standards. I didn’t like the Beryl and Geraldine one. 147 was good. A kind of poor man’s Yorkshire Ripper. 146 was interesting.

pc7 · 25-06-2020 1:29pm

I thought muswell hill was back to the Glory days for casefile, really well done, I wasn't aware of the story, think I was a bit too young

Jim Root · 28-06-2020 2:44pm

New case based in Japan (I think) was very good. Was listening to it while half asleep this morning, a real mystery this one. I do find the Patreon good value for money for ad free shows. They flow so much better.

I disagree

I thought it was very poor

All it was was an endless stream of detailing the evidence and before you knew it it was almost over and it was clear that it was not going to be solved

Very like a one that was on only a few weeks ago

Those were the facts of the case, though. What do you expect from that sort of episode, a fake ending to wrap things up? Or maybe you just prefer episodes that were solved cases rather than open ended ones?

Quite a strange post to be honest.

Two weeks running I didn’t finish listening, neither case caught my interest

Me neither!
Not to go on about it but they walk among us done Raul Moate two parter. No comparison at the moment.

Diemos · 20-07-2020 11:23pm

I'm not sure if it has been posted here already but the following spreadsheet keeps a list of episodes here.

You could just listen to the 4.0+ reviews if you wanted to be choosy.

The main ones I'd disagree with are : (47) Yara Gambirasio and (18) North Hollywood shootout

I really enjoyed both of those episodes.

I watched the series and it looked like a witch hunt that was paid for by Bradley Murdoch's lawyers.
It left out a LOT of the circumstantial evidence about him and tried to paint Joanne Lees in a bad light.
Barely mentioned what Murdoch had done to the mother and daughter , spent more time talking about Joanne's description of the killer dog.

The way the media treats women who are stoic or hold a strong public face who've been caught up in a serious crime is just brutal. Joanne Lees, Amanda Knox, Kate McCann, Lindy Chamberlain have all been dragged through the coals (unfairly, I think) because they don't act 'properly'.

So some priests don't just abuse altar boys, sometimes they shoot them too.

Then tops himself to avoid the music.

Disgrace that that guy was let be in such a position allowing access to young boys when it was obvious AND FLAGGED.

Another cover up job by the venerable church.

And its not like the case is from 50 years ago..

02-08-2020 11:02pm

Well it was 17/18 years ago - when they were still denying and re-assigning pedo priests to other dioceses.

(in Ireland anyways)

Great movie "Spotlight" if any have not seen it.

Again WTF goes through some people's minds.

Listened to Shaun Attwood interviewing Terry Ellis today, he was promoting his book. Repeated some of the most horrific stories he had heard while he was in a maximum prison which only had the worst of the worst there.

probably one of the biggest kidnappings in the country wont spoil much more

Evil_g · 14-08-2020 10:25am

If this is a members only podcast, I don't have access to it, so to decide whether to join to get access, I'd need to know what it's about.

If it's just some in joke, that's grand.

recyclops · 14-08-2020 11:38am

oh its not members only, members get cases one week earlier and they ask you dont say what cases are what. this one will be free to listen tomorrow

seems to be some sort of smug fight club rule that you don't let anyone know the episode subject about patreon episodes before they are released to the pleb masses

the sort of big-baller privilege and general importance factor that €2 a month gets you :pac:

e.g. you can't see the subjects of the other episodes

Yeah I'm only on the second one but it's pretty affecting. The first one was a very sad story, Nicola Sallese. Its very well presented.

pc7 · 03-09-2020 10:04am

Found this weeks very sad, even though I knew the story from the movie back in the day.

Especially his parents staying together while he was missing then ending up separating when he came back. Such a sad story, he was so brave bringing the other little guy back. Also the way he died, just so random

Red Handed did Rachel O'Reilly this week, they were a bit hyper but still a good cover of it.

Is the podcast series just called 'Missing'? I want to subscribe to it.
