Case 322: William Tyrrell (Part 2/2)

Very well done on thoroughly representing a very misrepresented case. The biggest fear to come from this podcast was the Gary Jubelin ordeal, and that police will fabricate evidence, lie under oath, and destroy innocent people's lives based on a hunch. This scares the shit out of me.

Fantastic podcast as always

Well written but to come back after break to a bungled police investigation and cold case involving a child ain’t it.

Maybe I missed this - but did Lindsay get taken off the foster parents when they were convicted?

what a nothing burger of a case

What a case, what a return. RIP little one. In a small town, so many interesting characters. Couldn't believe how many possible suspects there were!

Tough case. Ultimately I lean towards Abbott being guilty

I don't know if this is an error or maybe I am confused by the phrasing at the 40:20 minute mark??? Casey says that a photo taken 11 days before William's disappearance showed a TV clock with a time "118 minutes earlier than that shown by the camera's timestamp," which supported the foster mom's claim of a misconfigured camera clock. However, camera's metadata shows timestamps 118 minutes earlier than the actual time (e.g., William's photo, taken at 9:37 AM, was stamped 7:39 AM). For the TV photo, the news program's clock should show a time 118 minutes later than the camera's timestamp, not earlier, to confirm the camera's clock was consistently 118 minutes behind.

Ultimately, losing a child is one of the most devastating tragedies a parent can endure. The uncertainty surrounding such a loss only deepens the pain. Grieving a child is an unimaginable journey of survival. To harm a child is an act of true evil. Very very sad 😢

I have to take notes of all the names of people in this episode… I’m lost! 😂

I want Casefile to know that I love their production and I put them in the top 3 podcasts I listen to. With that said, I hate unsolved episodes, especially after waiting over a month for a new episode. I'm sure I'll catch hell for this but had to say it.

This one had more twists and turns than a cheap garden hose. Thanks team <3 Glad you're back

I could never be on a jury. Nothing at this stage could convince me the foster parents aren’t involved. The audio of her abusing other foster kids is too damning. How is putting your hands around a child’s throat or hitting them with a wooden spoon hard enough to leave welts reasonable correction?

Unpopular opinion maybe but I find it pretty rich that the biological mother and father said it was the foster parent’s job to keep the children safe. Like yea that’s true but if you had done your job as their parents correctly they would never have been in foster care to begin with. It was your job to protect them first and you failed.

What's mind-boggling to me is there's a bunch of pedophiles living in a close community with an overwhelming police investigation and the police didn't stumble across a single additional crime. Like, sure, maybe they were on their best behavior when the police were around BUT I think it more points to a lack of serious investigation. I feel like there should have been an "oops, we stumbled across some people from Operation CACAM while investigating. "

So nice to have 'The Voice' back 😊👍🏽🩷

Casefile is always worth the wait. Brilliant two-parter.

Oh I'm devastated. I'd never heard of this [American] and I kept my hopes up that there would be a last minute development all the way to the end. Good lord what a horrific mystery.

I think that every time a team of policemen in Australia think about trying to charge a child's mother with their murder or disappearance using the flimsiest circumstantial evidence possible, all of the detectives involved should have a photo of a dingo stapled to their face. You don't wanna meet Mr. Dingo, maybe you think twice about your "she hid the body in the bushes but then an eagle swooped down and carried it away" theory. also I know that as a true crime enjoyer I am absolutely complicit in the exploitation of tragedy for views/subs/clicks/ad revenue, but I kind of wish the media didn't breathlessly report on every new wrinkle of a case involving a (presumably) dead kid. I realize Casey and Friends would be out of a job, but in these situations, where the case drags on for years and years and leaves dozens of lives and reputations ruined in its wake, you start to consider going back in time to keep Baby Jessica from falling into that well and giving birth to the 24 hour news cycle. I dunno, I almost died recently so I've been thinking about a lot of things lmao

So glad case file is back up and posting new content. You really really do very stellar coverage of all of the cases you research.

i'm sorry in what universe is putting your hands around a child's neck considered "lawful correction" ?!

"when the inquest resumed in early 2020" i believe you meant early 2021! not a big deal, just thought i'd point it out if you're doing edits.

Great two parter. Unfortunately case was fumbled from the start.

this is a master-class in how not to conduct a police investigation?! seems entirely based on vibes?! "he lives nearby and he's kind of strange, let's surveil his property." "oh wow he saw something white on the ground he must be guilty." ?!?!

Team Should probably win an award for coverage of this one 👏

I’m sorry I’m not from Aus but is this like an unusual concentration of sex offenders in one neighborhood?!? There’s at least three repairmen and three+ neighbors who’ve been in jail or accused of SA of minors??? And three of them are in some grandparents association? Does no one do background checks?

I know right! This is why Casefile is the best!

Ahhhh ... wait .... I promised myself an early night .....
