Casefile Presents: The Frankston Murders Podcast
During the winter of 1993, the Melbourne suburb of Frankston was terrorised by a vicious serial killer named Paul Denyer. Following his arrest, Denyer was sentenced to life in prison, which was later changed to a 30-year minimum sentence. Three decades later, Denyer has applied for parole.
Casefile previously covered Paul Denyer’s crimes back in 2016 (Case 23). Now, to coincide with Denyer’s bid for parole, Casefile Presents is launching a longform series about the case as a reminder that Denyer must never be released.
Researched, written and hosted by award-winning crime writer Vikki Petraitis, The Frankston Murders podcast uncovers new material and new victims stalked by Denyer in the lead-up to the killings. Vikki interviews prison guards, police officers, family members, and people caught in the periphery of a serial killer.
All 11 episodes of The Frankston Murders are available now, wherever you get your podcasts.

Thank you.
Is there something the public can to do ensure he is kept in jail? Some kind of petition to sign? Natalie would be my age if she was alive today.
If you’re on Facebook, there’s a page called Community Pete. He posted a petition to sign.
Just finished the series... truly well done. I really appreciate Vikki Petraitis's style and victim-focused perspective.
Yeah, ‘serious and distressing’ isn’t special enough for yiu, though, is it?
I'm really over the fact you keep refusing to do any kind of trigger warning for violence against animals. You mentioned people requesting you do this in one of your Q&As and were pretty dismissive of it. I can't get thru episode one of this new series. You can warn people to just fast forward right before. It's not hard. Plenty of pods do it. Considering canceling my patreon over this matter as I think it shows a lack of respect for your audience
I have been listening to Casefile since the very beginning. They have always stated that their episodes 'deal with serious and often distressing episodes' followed by advice contacting a local crisis support centre. What more do you expect? So many triggers for so many different people.
Very longtime Casefile fan here. Not sure about this one. Casefile always prided itself in just presented the facts. Now they admit to being on a mission to keep someone in jail. Also in the first 10 minutes random incidents are being brought up without any proof of Paul being responsible. I will give this one a pass
Yes, Paul Denyer must stay in prison until he is dead. He murdered 3 women, possibly more. The world is safer with this killer hanged. What kind of twisted sympathy do you have for it?
Already on ep 3. Thanks folks - glad to hear another ‘Vicki series’
