Casefile Archives 1: The Wanda Beach Murders
Casefile Archives 1 The Wanda Beach Murders
*** Content Warning: child victims, child sexual assault ***
On January 11 1965, 15-year-old Christine Sharrock and Marianne Schmidt spent the day at Wanda Beach in Cronulla with Marianne’s four younger siblings. After lunch, the two teenagers told the children they were going to fetch their bags from the southern end of the beach, but never returned.
The following day, the brutally murdered bodies of Christine and Marianna were found hidden in the sand dunes near the Wanda Surf Club. It was one of the most horrific crimes Australia had ever seen, but despite an exhaustive investigation, police were unable to identify the killer. Decades on, the mystery remains.

ABOUT CASEFILE ARCHIVESCasefile Archives is a series of special bonus releases revisiting the earliest years of the show. The re-run episodes have been completely edited, polished, re-recorded and freshly produced from start to finish to match our current production standards. They are not complete rewrites – our goal wasn’t to alter the cases or reshape the writing, but to preserve the original storytelling while giving the production the refinement it didn’t have when we started the show back in 2016.
Where appropriate, updates have been added, but the core structure and storytelling remain faithful to the originals. Because of this, these re-releases may sound a little different to our recent episodes, but they allow us to bring some of the earliest episodes up to the technical quality listeners expect today.
