The Prison Guard Who Fell In Love With An Inmate

In 1992, career criminal Peter Gibb met prison guard Heather Parker while serving a 12-year sentence at the Melbourne Remand Centre. Heather claimed she didn’t notice Peter at first, but she quickly became smitten, and their relationship developed from flirtatious to physical. When their affair was exposed, Heather was immediately transferred, with communication between the two forbidden. But they couldn’t be stopped, and with the help of another inmate acting as their middleman, the pair hatched a plan to break Peter out of prison. Their escape sparked one of Australia's largest criminal pursuits and saw Heather and Peter dubbed Australia’s Bonnie and Clyde.

The list of Jayant Patel’s victims continues to grow. Fifteen‑year‑old Shannon Mobbs arrives after a trail‑bike crash and has his femoral vein tied off, a cancer patient’s healthy bowel is cut, a man with a punctured carotid artery is saved only when a doctor blocks another risky operation, and a vulnerable patient is quietly hidden in ICU to prevent further harm.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Amanda Wienckowski

When 20-year-old Amanda Wienckowski vanished one night in Buffalo, her mom, Leslie, refused to sit back and wait for answers. She begged police to listen and even parked outside the house where Amanda was last seen — for weeks — hoping her daughter would walk out the front door. What followed would test every ounce of a mother’s strength: a case full of contradictions, silence from the system, and a fight that would stretch on for more than a decade. This is the story of a mother who wouldn’t let the world forget her daughter — no matter how long it takes for justice.

Searching For Sarah MacDiarmid - Episode 1

With Casefile on a short break, we thought this would be a great time to shine a light on some of the shows that may have flown under the radar for many of you. These are shows we've put our hearts into and are really proud of. Today, we’re sharing another one of those shows — Searching for Sarah MacDiarmid. On 11 July 1990, 23-year-old Sarah MacDiarmid went missing from the Kananook railway station. Blood found beside her car suggested a violent attack — but Sarah was gone, and her body has never been found. Across nine episodes, the series follows Sarah’s last known movements, investigates the witness accounts and leads, revisits the searches, and examines the possible connection to serial killer Paul Denyer. Decades on, Sarah’s family still believe someone knows the truth — and hopes this series will reach the person holding that missing piece. We’re releasing the first episode here on the Casefile feed. You can find the full nine-part series by looking up Searching for Sarah MacDiarmid, wherever you get your podcasts. I hope you enjoy the series. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Inside Prison With My Dad: Australia’s Most Notorious Bank Robber

Brenden Abbott, known as The Postcard Bandit, is one of Australia’s most notorious bank robbers and prison escapees. He's the guy who developed the “drop-in heist,” hiding in a bank’s ceiling overnight and dropping down as staff opened the vault. Abbott continued a crime spree across Western Australia, South Australia, and Queensland, robbing banks and avoiding police. Reports claimed he sent postcards to authorities while on the run, earning his infamous nickname. Today, he remains in Casuarina Prison, having spent more time in solitary confinement than most inmates and serving longer than many murderers. In this episode, we spoke to his son, James, and retired officer, Glen Porter, about whether it’s time for Abbott to finally be released.
