TRUE CRIME
Troubled Waters is a 10-part ground-breaking podcast exploring the untold story of Louisa Ioannidis' tragic and mysterious death in 2011. Louisa Ioannidis was only 24. Beautiful, courageous, and vulnerable, yet her untimely death barely received a two-line report in a small local newspaper. Her body was discovered by passers-by in a local creek, clad in a pink dressing gown. Despite being a strong swimmer, police quickly determined there were no suspicious circumstances. Yet no one has been able to explain how or why she came to enter the creek. Louisa’s brother Tass has always doubted the findings and is desperate for answers. Over a decade after Louisa’s death, Private Investigator Julia Robson embarks on a fresh investigation and explores the full story of Louisa’s short life and the events leading up to her tragic passing. Together with Producer Clare McGrath, they uncover a gripping narrative full of intrigue. From an international kidnapping, a daring escape and a family’s desperate bid to stay together, it all unravels into a downward spiral exacerbated by a toxic relationship, all the while revealing flaws in a family violence support system that desperately needs fixing.

TRUE CRIME
In June 1993, Elizabeth Stevens, 18, was murdered on her way home from the bus stop. Her death began a seven-week reign of terror for the people of Frankston. A serial killer was on the loose. No one was safe, not young mother, Debbie Fream, 22, taken on a trip to the shops, nor Natalie Russell, 17, murdered on her way home from school. The serial killer, Paul Denyer was captured and sentenced to life in prison. On appeal, he was granted a 30-year minimum sentence. Fast forward 30 years and Denyer has applied for parole. Award winning crime writer Vikki Petraitis was on patrol with police the night the final murder took place. She wrote the bestselling book, The Frankston Murders which has never been out of print. Vikki has revisited the case in a longform podcast to remind the world why Denyer must never be released. 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.Credits:Created by Vikki PetraitisResearch and writing by Vikki PetraitisAudio production and scoring by Mike Migas (https://mikemigas.com/)Audio production by Anthony TelferArchive production by Catherine Seccombe/Arcdive (https://www.arcdive.com/)Archival audio supplied by The Footage Company / Nine Network Australia Hosted on Acast.

I’ve been a casefile subscriber for years, and still to this day it remains my favourite podcast, although many say that do not like the monotone voice of the narrator, it’s actually one of my favourite things about this podcast, it adds to the factual nature of the storytelling and the lack of opinion/ biases. I always listen to the episodes as soon as they come out, and spend a week eagerly waiting for the next!
Watered down content

5 Mar

Chloem1986

Initially got hooked on the content but now after subscribing I’ve noticed they’re doing what 48 hours are doing by watering down content by doing “behind the scenes” podcast discussions on cases they’ve already done and slapping that in subscribers premium content instead of just producing new content (what we all want) we don’t give a toss about your opinions or behind the scenes, you’re not a detective or have any experience to speak on the subject. Stick to sharing new cases otherwise why on earth are we paying a subscription just to hear you yabber on? Pure laziness. You have the audience now so hire some help to research new cases & write. Don’t be greedy/lazy.
Never fails!
