Von Einem will never name his accomplices, which is so gross and infuriating. His photo scares me, and to be honest, i think he did more than what he was ever accused of.
Such awful crimes, it’s infuriating nAmes are suppressed.
Dear God! Like GSK casefile has exposed the unsolved . Dna?
I think it's about time that the names of those surpressed under order be revealed, do these young men not deserve for all the people involved in the family be brought to justice for what they did. Yes they may be high profile members of the public here in south Australia, but it's been 40 plus years time to name these people now
Question... are the graphic details discussed throughout the ep? I got through 20 min or so, but had to stop. And hate myself for it. Episodes like this make me feel guilty for loving true crime, but having the option to hit pause from my own comfortable safety, when the victims and their families obviously did not. (Prob doesn’t make sense. Sorry.)
Hi So Real, yes there are graphic details throughout the duration of the episode.
Why do these killers always drive Holdens??
I know there was an extra disclaimer at the beginning of this ep, but holy sh*t. The mutilation is horrific. My heart breaks for the victims and their loved ones.
Why did I think this was going to be about a cult?? It was such a good episode but full on. I’d never heard of this case before!
Did the same thing! It was not about Manson and I was surprised but loved it.
Great episode. Love when you do Australian cases.
Can’t believe I had never heard of these cases! Do you reckon the GP was still involved? The laparotomy to remove the bottle and then to suture it back up 🤷🏼♀️ and the prison doctors prescribing erectile dysfunction medication wow Wow wow!
This one is pretty close to home. The perpetrator's brother was one of my school teachers.
I was sure this case had been done before. Must be thinking of another podcast.
Me, having listened to too much Casefile: *I* could have told you that car was a Holden 😂 it's ALWAYS a Holden 😂
Was thinking that exactly!!
This one shook me to the core.
Great ep - definitely more to this case than just one man
This case is so sad. I remember seeing it on Crime Investigation Australia. Excellent job, as always, Casefile team.
Well I learned that I have been saying Adidas wrong! Thanks! And great episode!! I want to read that book now.
I reckon the pronunciation of Adidas has changed backwards and forwards at least three times in my life.
So von Einem lived in Paradise? Could he possibly be the Zodiac Killer? I can't find any information about his life before 1972 - could he have live in the US?
Paradise is a suburb of Adelaide, Australia
An error at the 21 minute mark: You said Millhouse was arrested in January 1979 for a murder that was committed in August 1979.
Thank you Bob, we have now fixed that up. Much appreciated.
Boom!
