Case 109: Belanglo (Part 5/5)
Accused serial killer, 51-year-old Ivan Milat sat motionless before the court as he faced trial for what became known as ‘The Backpacker Murders.’ A small perspex screen was fitted above his seat to protect him from anything that may be hurled towards him from the public gallery. He kept his gaze averted at all times, with some detecting a hint of a smile on his face.

Great episode!!
I definitely think there were 2 people, and with this series being the only exposure to the case I have I think his brother was the second killer.
Well done all.
Amazing job Casefile team!!! Loved it and so well done. The long series are my favourite to listen to ❤️❤️❤️
Incredible series. I was pretty unfamiliar with the gritty details of the case and the atmosphere around Australia, at the time. Love the arc you guys used, each episode exploring the case from so many angles, but carrying through-line to the conclusion. All that combined with the soundtrack really drove home the horror of this story. Mike and Andrew kill it, as always. ❤️ This release is a perfect excuse to start back over at #1 and listen straight through. ☺️ Thank you for all you do.
That ending ..... wow
Casefile you did an outstanding job on this series! So much detail and unknown was disclosed! Hope you get a little break now but I'm looking forward to whatever you have in store for us next!
Great series of episodes! I hadn’t hear about this case until listening to this series. Thank you very much for the hard work you and your team put into this, it showed through with such an in depth case with great writing. Series like this make having the Patreon early releases so worth it!
Awesome. So sad. Well done casefile team!!
I was expecting an entire episode for the nephew. Glad they didn’t though, his case wasn’t very interesting.
I agonizingly waited, and then I binged. BRAVO!! What a fantastic series!
All five episodes at one go?? 😱
Omg what a GREAT series. A lot of hard work went into that one! You guys are awesome. Thank you for all you do!!!!
You guys are the best!!
Well done, team! Excellent series. Thank you for all the early releases! Hope you get a little breather now! 💕
The cojones on some of these Milat family members, wow. Love this series, Casefile team.
Great series, very pleased. Hoping Casey and the team can you clarify you didn't mention at all the incident of one of the Milats claiming Ivan shot and killed a taxi driver in any of the episodes. Did you find through research that was a false rumor or some such that you chose not to add it? I'm wondering because I don't know where exactly that story came from and maybe you found out it's bunk?
Love you guys, want to thank you for the hard work you put in to this series, quality work, seriously, I hope you’ve got another podcast recognition award coming your way!
Yay! Going to listen when I commute to work tomorrow morning! Thanks guys!
Thanks!
Not sure if the earlier time of release is due to my request. Whether it is or not, thanks so much. I'll now be able to listen and get to bed at a reasonable hour!
Best surprise leaving the office ❤️
Yay. Thank you so much for the work you guys put in. This case has been the best yet- I thought I knew all there was to know, but the insight is fascinating. ❤️
Can’t wait to hear the conclusion. The team have done a great job telling this story!
