Thank you so much for all that you do! To add to Catherine Smith's comment about crimes being solved, have there been any updates? I personally would LOVE an update episode! Many of the cases that you've covered are not at all present in the news and media in the US. I've listened to every episode and would be so excited to hear you cover any progress or revelations!
Just love the show and as a big True Crime Podcast fan, I think the Daniel Morecombe episode was probably the only time I have ever done a big fist pump and a "go the cops!!" on my drive to work. Brilliant stuff. And super important subject matter
Yeah really liked how they convinced Daniel’s killer he was part of a crime syndicate
Cheers!
Thanks Casey 👍
Thankyou everyone for joining in today! Always a pleasure chatting to you all. Again apologies if I missed anyone. A few gremlins in my phone today. Speak to you all next time.
Have any of the unsolved crimes become solved because of your podcast?
Hi Catherine. No none solved. Have forwarded some tips on to law enforcement sent in from Listeners - how valuable they were we have no idea.
It’s helpful when you add in information like foundations the family of victims have created
Very important I believe.
Maybe something from Panama papers ?
I’ll get googling.
And thank you for answering all the questions!!
One more question here.. I really like when you intersperse the short audio clips. Is this something we may see more of? I just finished the Yorkshire Ripper..
Hi Theresa when they are available and appropriate and make sense for the episode we will always use them. Definitely. But they aren’t always available.
Hiya. I was wondering if you'd considered doing any white collar crime stuff. Corruption etc....
Hi Janine we definitely would yes. For the right case. Any suggestions?
I’m happy to keep answering if there is more questions? Or if I’ve missed some. The app has been playing up and kicking me out. Seems okay now though. Hopefully I haven’t missed anyone.
Has this gentleman "Mark Brandon "Chopper" Read" ever come up as topic for an episode?
Nah not really. Maybe though. Wouldn’t completely rule it out.
Do you have any interest in traveling to some of the locations covered? Not in a macabre way, just to see the surrounding areas. I live 20min from the house where Jennifer Pan lived and your description was spot on..
Yeah would really like to do this. Focussing full time now hopefully it will allow more opportunity to do so. Speak to police and people involved etc.
Have you put a cheeky on Tonga to win the World Cup yet??
Nah. Australia will flog them. I wish I got on Fiji last night though!
What do the Casefile team do to unwind?
Sport. Fitness. Music. Read. Beer wine and spirits!
Have you found in your member surveys that listeners tend to be female?
Yes. As high as 80 per cent some results have been.
Have you found the results of the member surveys helpful ie length of podcast, series or standalone etc?
Yeah it’s interesting to see the results for sure.
Is there a case that you have started but given up because its not quite gruesome enough?
Not quite gruesome enough? No.
Congratulations on the amazing news coming out of Australia this week! 🏳️🌈
👍
Are there any episodes where you’ve found out later on that you got something terribly wrong, or were misled by incorrect sources?
Oooo good question
Have you ever considered covering the Bondi Beach gay murders.....?
Definitely. It’s on the list.
Hell yeah, if you guys need help on translating stuff from Portuguese to English if you decide to do a full episode on Madeleine I can help you out. It's definitely one of the cases I really want you guys to cover :) Anyway, it's getting late here, good night y'all, have a good day/night
Thank you very much Guilherme. Much appreciated. Good night.
Sorry if this has already been answered, but what has been the most disturbing or difficult case to research/speak about?
Good question
The very best true crime pod (besides Casefile) is Undisclosed.
The episodes sound so perfect.. are there any bloopers, or sections that you have to start over? And how long does it take to write an episode script? Greetings from Canada, love the show 😊
Oh yes! So so many. If only you could hear the recording process. An hour episode can take up to 6 hours to record on a bad day there are that many bloopers and mistakes.
my fave, too. I look forward to it every week..
ok, found it in my feed. psyched to listen to it!!
Just want to say this is my favorite podcast ❤️
Thank you Erica 👍
dang, how did I miss it?!
😬
The Tamam Shud case, also known as the Mystery of the Somerton Man, is an unsolved case of an unidentified man found dead at 6:30 am, 1 December 1948, on Somerton beach, Glenelg, just south of Adelaide, South Australia.

Astonishing Legends podcast did 3 or 4 episodes on it. I've been obsessed since then.
Also, I'm hoping you'll cover the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. That was such a huge occurrence here in Portugal and it involved both Portuguese and British investigators. You mentioned her in one of the episodes, do you think it may be worth a full episode? ( <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Madeleine_McCann" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Madeleine_McCann</a> ) Btw, Benfica is a club from Lisbon, Portugal, does it ring a bell? :D
Oh definitely. You may find a full episode dedicated to Madeline in the future. It’s in the list of potential future eps anyway. Yep I’ve definitely heard of the team. I’m not much into the round ball games though. Tried to watch the Australian World Cup qualifier the other night. To much diving and acting hurt for my liking.
Hello Hello! How has the transition to full time podcaster been?
Hi Diana. Yeah really good. It’s nice being able to focus my attention fully to the pod. Haven’t skipped any weeks since - so far anyway 😀
Hey! Would you ever do a series on the Zodiac killer & Arthur Leigh Allen?
Hi Erica. Yeah we would definitely consider it in the future.
Loved the Alcatraz episodes. Seemed a little different from the normal true crime podcasts I've come to expect, in a good way. Do you have a theory on what happened to the 3 who escaped?
Thanks Joan. Yeah I really like doing ones like this occasionally. That are a little different. Wasn’t sure how they would be received but most seemed to like it so far which is great. I have changed my mind so many times. I keep going back and forth. Slightly leaning towards - they made it.
Also called Tamam Shud case
Hi Karen we already have. Way back at episode number 2.
Have you considered covering The Somerton Man? Fascinating case
I think he's done it?
😭as a Jets fan, that hurts my soul.
I think being a jets fan just hurts the soul in general 🤣
Also, do you know Benfica? (my soccer team)
The name definitely rings a bell where from?
Hi Casey, your show is fantastic, love it. Since listening to your podcast, I now walk 15km each day, my dog is very much as fit as a butchers. What part of Australia are you situated? Keep up the amazing podcast and please keep throwing us Patreon members a little extra 😃👍
Awesome to hear Richard 👍 always makes me happy to hear that people are improving there health and fitness while listening. There are some extra patron perks on the way. A new mini episode and the audio AMA with Mike and Anna. So stay tuned!
3. Do you listen to any true crime podcasts? If so, what’s your favorite? :)
I don’t listen to true crime ones know. I have heard Canadian true crime though. That is good. And searching for Rachel Antonio by David Murray. - I’ve heard there is some other cracking crime pods out there but I get enough true crime with casefile.
2. Has anyone ever recognized you by your voice?
No. Not yet!
1. Now that Casefile is so popular, do you feel people are trying extra hard to invade your privacy or figure out your identity?
I posted these questions a few weeks ago so if you answered somewhere else feel free to tell me to shut up 😉
Hi Jamee. Yep these ones will appear on the recorded AMA with Mike and Anna. The audio version. I do a typed one and a recorded one. The recorded one will be out later this month 😀
Can Casey start being your pseudonym? 😂
Absolutely
Casey? Lol! Love it.
👌
NFL! Who is your team?
Patriots!!
Do you like sports? If so, what do you like watching (or practicing)? :D
I love sports! Rugby League. NFL. MMA. Cricket are my favs.
Hello!
Hi Guilherme
Good morning everyone (or afternoon or night depending where you are) Casey the host here. Ready to chat. Fire your questions in.
No question, just saying hi! 👋
