Case 217: Kathleen Marshall

It’s so odd that a spiritualist would kill. I mean people of any religious persuasion can. But as a spiritualist, under our belief system, it’s an unbelievably terrible idea. The probability of consequence (if not here, over there) is 100%, and most of us aren’t raised spiritualist but come into it after experiences. Hence virtually all of us, if not all, are true believers.

Cat people man….

Just as an aside, I have a permanent water supply (float bowl) for my dogs inside my house. It's just in case I fall down or get murdered.

I have seen the infighting in associations and groups first hand. Crikey, it can be viscious! After a couple of experiences I shied away from serving on committees!

Fascinating, just got a copy of the book.

"Kathleen also had incredibly high standards. Except when it came to the state of her house. Her house was a trash dump."

Also this is a fascinating case!!

While listening to this I’m thinking about the recent troubles being investigated about DNA lab. Thinking of Shandee Blackburn case is this the same DNA lab that was featured in Australian podcast?

This one goes down as a classic

As a cat lady…I can say it is not far fetched for a cat to be a motive for murder 😂😂 wow what a great case!!!

Hate to be that person, Casey, but it’s “veterinarian” and “veterinary” (say “vet-rin-arian” and “vet-rin-ry”) not “vetenarian” 😅 Omfg this case though. NEVER has a Casefile case been full of so many twists, turns, and DRAMA. When Casey said “newspapers were comparing the case to an Agatha Christie novel” I fully agreed! It really does sound like a book, from the divorcee vet who chair a cat protection society with hints of charity corruption - the ex dramatically being stopped at a train station about to depart the state - the little frail old man being convicted - the Occult Society involvement - it’s just unreal! Amazing job team 👏

The cat did it

When the music started playing I was like “wait…what? Where is the cat people conspiracy?!”. I thought for sure that’s where it was headed.

So…who did it?! 🤯

Welcome back Casey ❤️ hope you’re feeling much better!

Holy! I use to live 1.7km from that house when I lived in Grange. Talk about close to home 😳

I felt like I was listening to an episode of Midsommer Murders! Not based on the quality- it was top notch as always, but the details. The veterinarian, the cat society, a diminutive bespectacled man w a cat in his arms, the blood spray on the bushes, the sundress, the petty squabbles between people who knew each other well, the cat murdering it’s owner possibly and walking away unscathed, classical music and of course the psychics and tarot readings. 😂

Intense cat lady drama, psychic church drama, weird possibly false conviction, A Cat Did It theory, the funeral march, this episode had it all! Well done on a well written episode, Jess, & well done Mike on the inevitable musical fade out. I just want answers!!!! If it really was the palm reader guy, why????

....what did I just listen to

Glad “Casey” is better.

What an opening... Goosebumps

I remember this case from when I was in high school. Brisbane can get really dark. Max Sica and the Singh family is another really interesting case.

Also feeling very called out around the 12 minute mark lol ETA the whole episode Haha

just started listening, but you guys missed an opportunity to mix the funeral march so that it would fade into the Casefile intro, it would have been a banger

I'm so happy the host is well enough to record again!
