Me, too. Dang 😓
Damn! I was driving when the notification went off and of course by the time I got home I completely forgot. I’m sorry I missed it!
My friend is from New Zealand (I know not the same place, but relatively close in geography) and she just spent $280 to have some snacks shipped to her in Colorado, USA. Any snacks from Australia that are worth that much money to ship?
Looks like the questions have dried up. Thank you all for joining me for the AMA today. I’ll be recording the September edition of from the files today so that will be out shortly. And there will be a recorded AMA soon. Thank you for your support.
Hey Casey it’s still early morning in WA! I really like listening to your podcast, it’s excellent. Very well executed (pardon the pun). In about 2004 my friend Tania Moore was brutally murdered by her ex fiancé then he tried to make it look like an accident. It was a tragic case, she was only 25 and was a talented show jumper. Please will you have a look? There was a lot in the UK press about it at the time.
Hi Emma. Will definitely note it down to take a look at. You can email me about it to if you like host@casefilepodcast.com
I really appreciate the time and effort you guys put into these cases. You make it easy to follow and you do so with the up most respect.
Thank you Abby.
Thank you Katie 😀
I hope you maintain your anonymity BTW, very wise decision.
👍
Casey, no questions just always seem to miss these so using the opportunity to compliment you and the team on all the amazing podcasts you do. Please don't change your name either, Casey McCasefile is the best!
Sorry, I don’t know how to reply directly to your reply. I wondered if that was the reason you picked the Toy Box case, especially after learning he wasn’t charged with murder and even more assaults. I appreciate that Casefile does unsolved cases. I know people find them frustrating but by using your platform, you never know, a case could be solved and that would be the best outcome. That’s worth it IMO.
Bit of an Aussie music question, who's the better band in these cases? Silverchair or Powderfinger Frenzal Rhomb or Grinspoon TISM or The Bennies Violent Soho or The Smith Street Band
Powderfinger trumps all of them :)
Hi Casey! Do you not find it coincidental that your Mum named you Casey and then you went on to have a podcast called Casefile?
Hi Chris. Extremely coincidental 😀
Hi Casey I love the podcast so much! Especially, your excitement regarding the capture of Joseph James DeAngelo. Is this your favourite cold case 'solved,' or do you have another? And if you haven't already, will you do an episode on it. Thanks so much to all the contributors to the series. It's amazing and by far my favourite poddy.
Hi Jess. Thank you. I wouldn’t say I favour any cold case over an another. I want them all solved. And was equally as happy when news came through of an arrest in the Claremont serial killer case and the Lauria Bible and Ashley Freeman case. Hoping there will be lots more to come! But given how many victims and survivors were involved in the EARONS GSK case. It was definitely huge that one.
Greetings from Colorado. Once again, love the podcast! One suggestion for a case is the unsolved murder of eight members of Rhoden family in Ohio in 2016.
Hi Mariya. Not familiar with that one but will note it down to check out.
Hi Casey! I have a question, might be a weird one, but here goes: Do you feel like you get desensitized after having narrated all these casefiles? Personally I feel like I’ve gotten desensitized, which I probably would never even have thought of if it hadn’t been for the last few episodes where some listeners have been saying how they can’t even listen, while I’m more like “that was horrifying, but super interesting”.
Hi Dagny. Personally no. I still find each case tough. Particularly the toy box. It was extremely unpleasant putting that together and narrating it. So definitely not de sensitised. And there was a reason we covered it - that FBI website with all those items. The more eyes on that website the better.
Ooooh, could you please do a case for the whole reason ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ exists? I think that would be a fascinating case to cover!
Hi Sarah. Possibly yes.
A cheeky one: pavlova - Australian or Kiwi?
Australian 😬
Hi Casey. Do you have a preference for which kind of cases you cover, eg: cold cases, cases in Australia, serial killer?
Hi Roxy. Cold cases for me
Do you have a full time job outside casefile?
Hi Kristen. I did until recently. That is on hold for now.
Do you think David Ray really killed dozens or that it was mostly fantasy/boasting? Wouldn't someone notice if that many women disappeared? For example, in the West Mesa Bone Collector case, somebody noticed many women, especially those in the sex work business, were missing before the graves were found.
It’s definitely possible he was just boasting and the items of jewellery etc were just from hoarding. But the FBI believe there’s enough of a possibility to have a website showing each item - so I think it needs to be treated as if there are more victims. It’s also possible some of the items are just from hoarding but some of them are legit from unknown victims.
Hi Casey! I was wondering what you think about the lack of tangible evidence against David Parker Ray. I can’t believe there isn’t more out there. Thanks for yet another great series! I’m not sure how I’m going to survive this weekend without Casefile. 😂💗
If you know, was there any attempt by investigators to look for potential victims or bodies in Mexico, since this was so close to the border?
Where were you when you found out they'd caught EARONS? Did you have any personal theories that have since been confirmed/overturned?
I was about 5 beers deep watching the traditional ANZAC day rugby league match between the Dragons and my team the Roosters. Roosters were getting touched up so that news breaking during the game made it a better evening for sure!
Hey Casey! I love the show and glad I can help out a little each month
Thank you very much Kristen. The support of our patrons is hugely appreciated.
thanks casefile for being great you tweeted me at xmas when i had a kidney transplant ! these episodes keep me going when i get my daily walks
Hi Adele. How are you going? Is all well with the transplant.
What podcasts do you listen to when you’re not working on these cases?
Joe Rogan. Hardcore History. Jocko. Fantasy footballers. And a number of rugby league podcasts. (No true crime).
Hey team, I just want to tell you I love what you do ❤️ thanks for all the hard work behind the scenes and by the talented narrator. Storytelling of this quality is hard to find. I'll try to think of a question for next time, love the opportunity to be a patron!
Thankyou very much Bianca.
Hey Casey, (LOVE that moniker!) Are you familiar with the Charles Stuart case that happened here in Boston back in 1989? Would love to hear that one or any cases from New England area covered Thanks
Hi cosmo. I am not know. Will note it down.
Have you thought about doing a random raffle and collaborating with a patron member to choose a case to cover?
I had not no!
Hello from San Diego! What case has been the hardest for you to sit through?
Hi Rebecca. There is obvious recency bias. But the toy box was extremely unsettling. We did leave out a lot of the details and what remained was still hard to get through.
No questions really, except wanting to match a face to the awesome accent! But I know that won’t be revealed. So just keep up the great work! Your podcast is what turned me into true crime. Love, from Houston, Tx!
Thank you very much Thida
Hi Anon! just want to say thank you for all you do and for being an amazing narrator! you are a big part of what makes this podcast great!
Thank you very much Sara.
Will definitely be a one parter.
I miss the Australian cases...
Hi Clare. Plenty of Australian cases on the horizon. I know it has been a little while since we have had one. But that’s just how it has fallen. Definitely hasn’t been a plan. Lots of Aussie ones coming as I said. Including large ones.
Greetings from Austin, Texas! Do you take listener suggestions for cases/stories? (Apologies if this has been asked previously- I’m a new subscriber! :) )
Hi Carrie. Yep we sure do. Email them to submitacase@casefilepodcast.com
I love the Eastern European cases we’ve been having lately! Any plans to do more cases from less western countries (Asia, Africa)?
Hoping for a special #100!!
We won’t be making a big deal of it. Sorry to disappoint. Still not sure what case it will be yet. We have multiple scripts we are working on simultaneously. So will be the one that is ready.
If you have to pick another subject to do a podcast about that isn't true crime, what will it be?
Sport. Or music.
I’m a born and raised Oregonian. Any plans for any cases to be covered from the Pacific Northwest?
Hi Triston. Nothing that immediately jumps to my mind. But it is possible. In the meantime fee free to send any suggestions to submitacase@casefilepodcast.com
Hi Casey! Were you considering covering the Larissa Beilby case from earlier this year?
Hi Alix. No Immediate plans no.
I love the Eastern Europe cases we’ve been having lately! Any chances of doing more of them as well as cases from other less western countries (Asia, Africa)
Hi Ashley. We do have another European case on the horizon as well as Asia. As well as Australian cases of course.
Good morning! ToyBox was excellently researched and presented. I wasn’t familiar with the story so it was all new for me. Have you re considered a milestone episode for #100?
Hi Amber. Thank you. Nothing concrete for 100. We won’t be making a big deal of it. Will just be whatever script is good to go.
Hi Casefile Team!
Hi Melanie
will it be a one off or a 3 parter ?
any plans for episode 100
Hi Adele. Nothing concrete at this stage no. I know it’s getting close but essentially it will be whatever script is ready to go.
Hi Casey! Can you please be Casey Somerton? :)
😀
Hey Casey! Have you been keeping up the the Keli Lane story?
Hi Clare. I haven’t been keeping an eye on it really. No.
