  • Case 150: The Murchison Murders
    Although the Australian outback was isolated and sparsely populated, work was available in the small towns and stations along the fence for men who were willing to tough it out in the harsh conditions...

    I have listened to a lot of true crime and I mean a lot and I can honestly say that the research, presentation, empathy and understanding of true crime is top notch in these podcasts. I'm currently listening to old ones and then checking online for updates. Casefile is definitely one of the best, if not the best.

    The best thing about Casefile is how you sometimes get this little story at the beginning, filled with information seemingly unrelated to the case. By the end, everything ties together in a satisfying way. Brilliant writing and execution.

      Well, we never again heard of those children, left with the Salvation Army. Or their mother, Minnie. In fact, we heard too little about that first guy, I felt: why did he change his name and was able to apply for a passport in that new name? At least worth a small explanation.
      But you are right: all those little stories about the many ways, in which people live are gorgeous.

    I really love these historical Australian episodes. I particularly loved the description of the building of the rabbit proof fence and learning about the English-Australian author Arthur Upfield. The dogged research of the police officer who took the time to investigate the murders was a credit to him. Well researched and intriguing. Loved it.

    I feel like this episode can best be appreciated by having a copy of a map of Western Australia by your side to help keep track of all the towns and fence locations...but also so you can appreciate the astounding distances being covered by these men seeking work no matter where it was, and how especially impressive this was given their only way to travel was ship, rail, or on dirt tracks in 1930s trucks. (Also, bear in mind that whenever they reference December, January, February, this is the height of summer in Oz and this is the WA desert, so it's bloody freaking hot, dusty, full of flies, 98deg in the shade, etc.)

    Off topic, or rather, not murder related, I thought the little information about the children was sad. When Case said the marriage had broken down, and Louis and Minnie had agreed she’d support herself, whilst he would be responsible for the children, I assumed it meant something like a voluntary child support allowance. But then we hear that he “boarded them with the Salvation Army”, which would mean an orphanage. It wasn’t all that unusual to temporarily put children you couldn’t afford “into care” while you tried to find a job, for example. However it seems strange and sad their mother didn’t take them back. Although, I suppose, she might have had to do the same thing, since apparently she couldn’t support them either. Just a sad little window into how bleak things were during the depression.

    Unnamed Casefile Guy: I love your podcasts. Love them. It's great to hear different, but equally freaky, tales other than the often-repeated ones. Thank you.
    A little bit of (hopefully) constructive criticism:
    - the (otherwise looooovely) narrator seems to have developed a verbal tic, at least since the last time I listened to an episode. It's also a BBC and Euro-journalist tic-thing, but I find it immensely annoying. It's the added syllable before certain words. E.g. (and I'm improvising here): "A-James was a-sent to a-prison and a-never confessed..." You get the idea. Maybe it's something which is being taught in diction school - I'm pretty sure tha'ts the case, as it's ubiquitous - but, for me, it's up there with the vocal fry as something which prevents me from enjoying listening to certain voices.
    Secondly - and this is an info request than a whinge ;-) - I'd love to see maps of where all this happened. I tried to locate places myself on the InterWebs, but it took me flippin' ages!! Your country is soooooo big with soooooo much empty space and soooo many bizarrely-named places! Google maps cannot cope with the Immensity that is Australia.
    Sorry to be a Whingeing Pom. It's all with the very best of intentions. Again - love, love your podcast. Don't think badly of me.... xxx

The peak of the show, however, happened long ago with Earons and Silk Road episodes. He keeps forcing Australian cases, and I can understand that, I guess he is patriotic, but fortunately for all Australians there is only a handfull of interesting cases from Ausie and he had covered most of them. Alas, he has audience from across the globe. So this is a constructive criticism just so that I and a number of others don't do what you want us to do - which is stop listening.
