Case 147: Julie Dart & Stephanie Slater
In July of 1991, things looked promising for 18-year-old Julie Dart. A bubbly, spirited teenager with wavy brown hair and a wide smile, she had recently finished high school and was hoping to fulfill her lifelong dream of joining Britain’s Armed Forces. Julie had grown up in Leeds, the largest city in the northern English county of West Yorkshire, where she still lived with her mother.

One thing I want to say is I’m really impressed and glad how the team frames sex work, especially when there’s difficult times/intersections in a persons life. You’ve been doing a stellar job on this topic for a while now, but I remember the jarring and disrespectful way it was depicted at the very beginning of this project, and I just wanted to say I notice EVERY TIME when the team does better
Hi Estelle Thanks for your comment, your feedback is much appreciated. Getting language right and remaining respectful to victims and survivors at all times is one of Casefile’s highest priorities, so we are constantly striving to make improvements wherever possible. In the early days of the podcast I wasn’t aware of some of the problematic terminology, but have since educated myself and understand the importance of getting these factors right. We always welcome feedback from listeners if there is something we can be doing better and we appreciate the opportunity to do so. Thanks again, the host.
That ending, for Stephanie was even more heartbreaking than I could have imagined :(
Really good episode. I used to live in Yorkshire so knew a lot of these places, but had never heard of this case. Very sad for everyone involved.
I'm in Newark (Where the women were held) and it was so good to hear all the details around this case.
Excellent episode. Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Well done Casefile team.
Awesome episode. Thanks guys from the UK. I'm in Yorkshire a lot. This case and the Yorkshire ripper case always give me the chills.
I have never heard of this case (I am in the states) and was freaking out the whole time. Your storytelling is always fantastic. And 2 hours - so great!
CANT WAIT. Love the length
I wonder if the SOB had any crocodile tears remaining by 2017.
A perfect Saturday evening! ❤
