If there are no other questions I best be getting back to the script I’m working on 👍 Thank you for joining me everyone. We thank you very much for your support here on Patreon. It is deeply appreciated.
Thank you so much for all of your hard work. You really make this podcast one in a billion. Know that we, as fans, appreciate all of your hard work and are so thrilled you’ve made this a more permanent gig. Enjoy your night!
Thank you very much Mikki. Much appreciated. You too 👍
That's what makes the Molseed/Kiszko case so amazing; I think even people who fervently believe in the Blackstone maxim would have still convicted Kiszko knowing only what was provided at the first trial.
Yep. That was criminal the way they manipulated that evidence. The evidence proved he was in Covent FFS. But what they revealed in court only added weight to him being guilty. So wrong.
I think I’ve asked this before but have you ever debated doing a story on Victoria Stafford from Woodstock Ontario Canada? I’ve seen a few podcasts done on it, but they can’t quite pull off the same respect you bring to a case. And it’s so tragic it makes the other shows impossible to listen to
I can only say that’s a possibility at this stage. No immediate plans.
There's an old legal maxim from Sir William Blackstone: "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer". Do you believe this to be true?
The idea of an innocent person being in jail makes me ill. That’s why it important to really ensure there is enough evidence to convict beyond a reasonable doubt. And not rely on maybes and probables and flimsy evidence.
have you ever thought about doing a non traditional type tour? Instead of you revealing your identity when reading the stories, have pre-selected fans read from a story you write? Or perform behind a screen like dj shadow haha Just a passing thought... could be cool.
Hi Amanda. Possibly. Would just be a matter of finding the right format/the right idea.
Justing saying hi - we are watching the news with flash flooding in MD USA
Hi Noreen. I hope it’s not too bad
Your response to the arrest of the EAR/ONS was absolutely hilarious. I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve listened to the first minute of that episode. Thank you for keeping it so light hearted.
It was good to record something off the cuff without a script and just go with it. That is an exact snap shot of how I felt when the news broke. Such an amazing development 👍
I really hope I’m not too late to the party! Hello from Ontario Canada!
Hi Mikki. Nope we are still here 🍾
Sorry if this has been asked before! But how come you choose to remain anonymous? Personally I am a fan of the idea as it brings extra mystery to the podcast :) but at the same time it would be awesome to know who you are
I just prefer it that way. I Never wanted the show to be about a host figure or personality. Just wanted the stories to be the focus.
Additionally, Israel Keyes is another fascinating perpetrator. I live in Alaska and the FBI just released new taped interviews.
Also one that appears on our possibles list!
Is there any possibility of doing a deep dive into Jodi Arias? I’ve not heard a great podcast on that case yet. I think that you guys did a great job of diving into EAR/ONS and I think it would be great. There’s a lot more to the relationship of Travis Alexander and Jodi that really seems to have been unexplored or that has been covered with lots of contradiction.
That could be a possibility. Wouldn’t rule it out.
Also, just want to say well done on case 84 👍
Thank you Ryan
Seems I may have missed out. This is usually when I listen to Casefile, late on a Sunday, driving. I’m really missing you this week. Cheers! 💕
Will be back next week Laura 👍
Have you guys considered covering Stephanie Scott’s case?
We would consider cobering that one day. Yes
Book Fatal Vision by Joe Mcginniss covers the controversy.
Would you be for everyone’s DNA being held on a data base? Would solve a shit load of crimes over night and act as a deterrent for future crimes.
That is a tough one. Smarter minds then mine would have to debate that!
Are you excited about the Socceroos next month? Where does soccer/football rank in the Aussie sports scene?
Hi Nick. Personally I don’t enjoy the game of soccer at all. Too much diving. BUT when it’s World Cup year - I love nothing more then jumping on that bandwagon!! So yeah I am looking forward to the cup. As far as where it ranks. In terms of commercial coverage - AUstralian rules football and rugby league are the two biggest sports here by far in the winter. Then cricket in the summer. But I have a feeling soccer might have the largest participation rate - don’t quote me on that though.
Ahoy from Sunny England and congrats on going full time with Casefile! You've mentioned before that yourself and/or producers have flown overseas to conduct interviews and research which shows excellent dedication. Who or what subsidies these trips if you don't mind me asking?
Hi Ben. The ads you hear during the show is what made that possible. This is something I’d like to do more of - get on the ground and conduct face to face interviews. Actually see the locations. Maybe in the future.
Favorite true crime book?
I thought Helter Skeltor was pretty good.
Hi!!! :)
Hi!
How long do you have to wait before you can cover a case? Do you ever see current cases come up in the news and think that it looks like an important/fascinating case to cover for Casefile?
Generally we don’t cover anything that has a trial pending. Once the trial is sorted - good To go.
Good morning. Have the results of the McDougall/Popic inquest been made public?
Hi Mariya. They have been. It was essentially an open finding. Unable to determine if they are deceased or still alive.
Ever consider covering the Jeffrey Macdonald case?
Hi Scott. That one doesn’t ring a bell off the top of my head
I just wanted to say that I love the podcast and I appreciate your in depth descriptions and research. I can’t listen to this podcast when my boyfriend is around though because every time he annoyingly says “razor blades” with an awful Aussie accent. We’re Americans.. I’m sorry hahaha
Haha thanks Amanda.
Are you following the Larrimah (Northern Territory) case? Missing person Paddy Moriarty with the suspect being one of the other 11 residents of Larrimah.
Hi Katherine I haven’t been following that one.
My question was around if you would look into doing more cases on shootings in the US? I haven’t come across one on columbine but it would be interesting to listen to
Hi Emily. Was that’s a possibility. Nothing in the immediate plans, but certainly possible in the future.
Just dropping by to say hellllllooo to everyone 👋
Hi Kim 👋
Any hints as to the episodes coming in June?
It’s more recent.
I heard this question asked to someone before and it's become a favorite! If you could replace a room in your current home with one from your childhood, which one would it be and why? The room would be exactly the same as it was back then :)
Haha that’s a good one. I’d replace my current spare room with my room when I was a teenager. Punk rock posters everywhere. Great memories 👌
Morning!! Absolutely love your podcast. It actually makes me look forward to the Monday morning commute to work.
Morning Emily. Thank you
How much Bay City Rollers did you listen to during researching the Lesley Molseed case?
I only listened to that song. We actually tried to secure licensing to use the song at the end. Never got off the ground though.
i realized you spoke with paul holes during the eric coy case--have you been communicating re: ear/ons?
It was actually through Paul we covered the Eric Coy case, after we spoke to him for our EARONS series. Haven’t spoken to him since the arrest though - I think he would be far to busy at the moment!!
What case was the most interesting to research?
Too Hard to pinpoint one. All of them in their own way.
Morning bro. How was ya weekend?
Good thanks Adam. Yourself?
Hello everyone
