Case 201: Janet Chandler

So awful, poor Janet. Made even worse that her glazed eyes were caused by shock. What truly evil people, all over jealousy.

This case was harrowing to listen to the outcome. I found myself physically shaking my head as all the details came to light, that had been known by so many for so, so long! I think I was expecting an interest cold case solved by advances in technology. I do have to admit the early suspicion of the man who called the police, just that hint that usually someone that close to a circumstance can be involved. Just tragic. Janet and her family deserved so much better.

This was a tough one but I'm glad you covered it. It's an incredible case, by the definition of it is impossible to believe.

I'm in disbelief. Can't believe that her BF knew all along. It's always right in your circle. Regardless of what that young lady was doing, they had no right to do that.

At first I was reminded of Twin Peaks Firewalk with Me… but somehow this real life crime was way way worse

So frustrating and sad that one key to lead to confession, was to relate the victim to their own daughter or loved one. Empathy is so unfortunately lost on some people, makes no sense to me.

My partner usually leaves me alone to my true crime pods, but during a long drive he asked me to put one on and this was the most recent update... Truly the most horrific case. My excitement at him sharing my passion with me soon turned to awful regret. What an unbelievably awful case. Like many have said before, reminds me of Leigh Leigh. So frustrating that the case wasn't broken decades later due to tech advancements or forensic evidence... Just the same kind of detective work that should have worked the first time. Actually questioning people properly.

Wow! This was so crazy that as soon as I finished I listened to it again just to make sure I got it right. How horrific for her 😭

This one hit really hard, imagining her terror, the world truly is a horrible place.

I had to stop listening to this one halfway through because it was too distressing 😥

Omg I could not believe what I was hearing! What goes wrong inside people that turns them into something worse than an animal?? Not one person step forward to help this poor girl😥

I can't believe how truly evil some people are. How did no one at this so called "party" come to her aid? Surely someone there must've thought "You know, maybe this isn't a good idea"

I really love that the professor who started the whole re-investigation was moved to start a charity to help with other cold cases. Story telling as a way to get the people who know something to divulge is genius.

This was dark.

Just want you guys to know i just got 100% first time taking a little quiz about australian states, and i feel like this is 100% casefile's doing 😂 thanks for helping me learn geography!

Very rareley does a case leave me speechless. But... Jesus Christ, this one just earned a spot in the hall of horror for me.

It wasn’t a Holden Sedan, it was a GMC Jimmy! I owned a similar car once upon a time.

Awful!! Wtf is wrong with people?!

Much like the Leigh Leigh episode this case left me shook , it’s truely heart breaking that so many people can be involved in such a brutal and senseless act and not one person come to her aid. Awesome work casefile as always delivering a captivating story told so well. Janets parents are so brave 💔

Loved it think I should stop reading reddit, I knew about this case before today

Very difficult episode, but excellent story telling.

Strike breakers are seriously awful people. Through and through.

This is really one of the darkest things I’ve ever heard. Just awful.

This was a great episode, my favorite since 151

Another perfect episode! I simply can't get enough of Casefile- excellent research presented with respect for the victim.

Unreal. This brought back memories of Leigh Leigh’s case for me. How so many can agree to such a heinous plan and stay silent for so long. The statute of limitations on charges is infuriating too. There would have been so much DNA evidence on Janet’s body that this sort of crime would hopefully be solved much sooner in today’s era. Poor Janet.

Absolutely horrific and infuriating. All monsters, including her supposed "best friend." Thank you guys for covering Janet's case (and doing so well as always)

Wow. This was heavy.. sickening:(

What are the odds of having that many people in one room that all have the same sick brain as each other? R.I.P Janet x

Five weeks in a row??? This is amazing

Five weeks in a row! Wow. So good

Now it's my turn to express surprise that you've released for five weeks straight. Is this to be the new norm?
