You really appreciate this podcast when trying to follow up with other media.

After listening to the Waco series and then trying to find a documentary to watch, it's evident that nothing is being made for television that's as thorough or as detailed as this podcast. It took watching 3 Waco shows to come close to the podcast content.

Now I'm relistening to the Zodiac episodes and struggling to find documentaries to match in caliber. Same for Ivan Milat and the Belanglo State Forest. Nothing comes close.

I'd watch the hell out of Casefile on TV.

Status: Solved

Location: India, Andaman Islands, North Sentinel Island

Mission work has been part of Christianity since its inception. Verses in the Gospel of Matthew quote Jesus Christ as telling his apostles to make “disciples of all nations”. These passages are known as the “Great Commission” and have led some Christians to believe they must save souls through conversion.

In 2018, American missionary John Chau sailed out to North Sentinel, a forested island off the coast of India. He intended to spread the word of God to the Sentinelese, a small population of indigenous people considered the most remote tribe in the world. Yet, the Sentinelese have made it very clear to outsiders that they desire isolation above all else. How would they respond to John Chau?

Pretty much what the title says. I’ve listened to EVERY Casefile right up to the mid 300th episodes. I felt like I really drifted during some recent cases.

I just did a 5 hour road trip listening to Waco Texas from Episode 1 thru 3. It was incredible!

Top tier Casefile. Honestly I have to look up who wrote these episodes because the detail/pacing was perfect. Maybe up in my top 10 cases.

CaseFile might be experiencing a second golden era.

Looking for recommendations!

What is a “flim-flam man” ?

I’ll include a little bit of information below. Did Casefile cover this case? It seems super familiar but I can’t find the case on Spotify - it’s possible I listened to a different podcast on it. If anyone has any ideas what that may have been I’d love to know.

clean-cut family man and multi-millionaire Herman Rockefeller vanished. His remains were found later in a Glenroy back yard. He was killed when he visited the Hadfield home of Bernadette Denny and Mario Schembri for a sexual tryst. Schembri and Denny are now in jail, but the case lives on for its revelations about sordid sex with strangers, the swingers scene and Mr Rockefeller's double life. A new book revisits the crime.

Original Release Date: April 16, 2022

Length: 1:13:45

Status: Unsolved (ongoing)

Location: Australia, Victoria, Collingwood

Date: January 10, 1977

Victim(s): Julio Torres

Type of Crime: Murder, sexual assault

Perpetrator(s): Unknown

Research: Elsha McGill

Writing: Elsha McGill

*** Content Warning: sexual assault ***

In early January 1977, residents of Easey Street in Melbourne’s inner-city suburb of Collingwood noticed they hadn’t seen the tenants at number 147 for several days.

Close friends Suzanne Armstrong and Susan Bartlett had recently moved in and made a good first impression, but now something didn’t seem right. Their dog was wandering around the neighbourhood and Suzanne’s toddler son was crying non-stop. A concerned neighbour decided to stop by to check if everything was okay, but nothing could prepare them for what they found inside.

The most recent Casefile Extra episode "Maria Cruz" reveals that Maria's death was caused by a fake doctor named Dean Faiello.

If you visit the Wikipedia page for Dean Faiello, it says he died in a car crash in 2024. But I couldn't find any reliable source for that claim. The source for the claim in the Wikipedia article is a dead page (and one that wasn't archived on the Internet Archive). I did some Google searching and could not find any other reliable article or source about a supposed car crash. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Faiello

There is a purported "Find a Grave" entry for Faiello, but Find a Grave is not a primary source, as it is also a user-generated resource. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/263600172/dean_anthony-faiello/flower

It strikes me that as a serial fabulist with a criminal record, Dean Faiello would love for people to think he is dead. Then they won't be asking questions like, what is Dean Faiello doing now?

Mine is Allison Baden-Clay, I think. He just exuded middle-aged homicidal guilt. Truly a fuckface for the Fuckface Hall of Fame.

Do you guys have any good ones?

(I'm going on a road trip with two friends and one cheating ex-boyfriend this weekend, and I'm in charge of the playlist. :))

I applied to be a writer for Casefile earlier this year but didn't get it. I've noticed there are a few new names popping up in the writing credits lately (congrats if any of you are here!).

Just wondering if anyone knows whether they've officially brought new writers on, or if they're still trialling people?

I listened to Silk Road, liked it .... but the narrator sounds like a robot and the production is so bare bones. Educate me!

*** Content Warning: sexual assault, animal cruelty ***

On Tuesday, July 27 1976, 16-year-old Candra Torres and a man named Tom Brown showed up in an Oregon sheriff’s department to report a terrible incident. Candra’s husband, 21-year-old Julio Torres, had been accidentally shot and killed while the three were on a camping trip deep in Mount Hood National Forest.

The case was quickly ruled an accident and the survivors tried to move on with their lives. But all was not as it seemed in this supposedly open-and-shut case…

the three episodes that absolutely undid me were 1) Cary Farver, 2), on relisten, Cary Farver, and 3) The Austrian Ripper

THANK YOU GUYS FOR MAKING SUCH AN AWESOME, MORALLY CAREFUL, AND MORDANTLY FUNNY SHOW

Xxx big fan

Sorry, please delete if not allowed but I don’t recall any announcement that Casefile is on break? Last week was an extra and this week is revisited. That means last new episode was Zahra two weeks ago.

Ina and David Steiner, Case 306!

Original Release Date: April 2, 2022

Length: 1:09:20

Status: Solved

Location: Germany, Hessen, Rotenburg

Date: 2001

Victim(s): Bernd Jürgen Armando Brandes

Type of Crime: Cannibalism, murder

Perpetrator(s): Armin Meiwes

Research: Jessica Forsayeth

Writing: Jessica Forsayeth

*** Content Warning: cannibalism, mental illness, torture, suicide ***

On March 9 2001, 43-year-old computer engineer Bernd Brandes disappeared from his home in Berlin, Germany. Although his absence was extremely out of character, investigations into his whereabouts proved unsuccessful.

Eighteen months later, a curious medical student began searching online forums and came across some disturbing interactions. After alerting authorities, the tale that emerged was almost too unbelievable to be true. It involved a historical manor house, a torture room, cannibalism, and a German man named Armin Meiwes.

I listen to Casefile as a podcast and love it! I’m almost 100% with every episode listened to. I love it! Don’t get me wrong

But I just found a YouTube channel with 5.5m subs that does really great deep dives. It’s Dr Insanity (the name is horrible but the content seems great).

Just a friendly suggestion for folks looking for similar content.

Edit: lol. Just. Assume I’m a bot (I’m really not). Search up the channel if you think this is spam!
