Casefile: True Crime Podcast

On Friday, August 20 2010, officers from the Holmes County Sheriff's Department were called to Vortex Spring, a commercially operated dive park just outside the Florida town of Ponce de Leon. A 30-year-old scuba diver from Tennessee by the name of Ben McDaniel had failed to resurface after diving into the narrow cave network under the basin of the spring two nights earlier, and nobody had seen or heard from him since. 

When a recovery mission failed to find any sign of Ben, his loved ones and members of the cave diving community were left in shock. Was Ben stuck in an unexplored part of the cave somewhere, or was something else entirely at play?

Casefile 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.

*** Content Warning: serial killer, extreme violence, animal cruelty ***

In early 1993, Frankston resident Donna received a series of unnerving prank calls. Afraid of being home alone, she accompanied her boyfriend during his pizza delivery shift, only to return home to find her worst fears had come true. 

Her pet cats had been killed, and written in blood on the lounge room wall were the words: ‘Donna, you’re dead.’ This marked the beginning of a five-month crime spree that terrorised locals and resulted in the murders of three young women – Elizabeth Stevens, Deborah Fream and Natalie Russell. 

The perpetrator was dubbed ‘The Frankston Serial Killer’, but who was he, and when would he strike again?

In 1992, a chance discovery by a UPS delivery driver would lead to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives – commonly known as the ATF – launching an investigation into David Koresh’s activities at Mount Carmel in Waco, Texas. Upon discovering that Koresh’s Branch Davidians were stockpiling illegal weapons, the agency began planning a raid that was also intended to boost their image with the public… but the consequences would be disastrous.

As police looked into the deaths of Caleb, Patrick, Sarah and Laura Folbigg, they were introduced to Meadows Law – the theory that one infant death is a tragedy, two is suspicious, but three is murder. With suspicion mounting against Kathleen Folbigg, years of investigation eventually led to a legal outcome that no one could have ever seen coming.

Married couple Craig and Kathleen Folbigg wanted nothing more than to be parents. Throughout the late 1980s and 1990s, Kathleen gave birth to four children—Caleb, Patrick, Sarah and Laura—but tragically, none of them survived past their second birthdays. While each death was initially attributed to natural causes, the question started to emerge – had Kathleen done something to harm her children?

*** Content warning: child victims ***

The quiet suburban life of Wichita, Kansas, was shattered in 1974 when four members of the Otero family, Joe, Julie and their two youngest children, Josie and Joey, were found brutally murdered in their home. 

Nine months later, a letter was discovered inside a public library book that contained detailed, accurate, insider-knowledge about the crime. Worse still, the writer claimed responsibility for the murders and threatened to kill again.

On September 15 2006, detectives began investigating the sexual assault of 24-year-old Tiffany Hall from East St. Louis, Illinois. The assault had caused Tiffany to miscarry her 7-month old foetus. 

A week later, police received a tip-off that would break the case wide open, revealing unimaginable horrors that devastated a family and an entire community.

Casefile 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.

*** Content Warning: Self-harm ***

On May 17 2008, Swedish twin sisters Ursula and Sabina Eriksson boarded a bus from Liverpool to London. After a routine road stop, the bus driver noticed the twins were acting suspiciously and were clinging tightly to their bags. Concerned, the driver refused to let Ursula and Sabina back on board. 

Soon after, two patrol officers were called to an incident on the M6 motorway near the English city of Stoke-on-Trent. Expecting the worst, the officers were surprised to find the Erikkson twins standing calmly and unscathed on the shoulder of the motorway. But within a few minutes, the seemingly calm situation took a frightening turn.

*** Content Warning: child victims ***

Oklahoma teenager Ashley Freeman celebrated her sixteenth birthday by inviting her best friend, Lauria Bible, over for a sleepover. It was a pleasant yet uneventful evening, until the following morning of December 30 1999, when neighbours noticed that the Freemans’ house was engulfed in flames. 

Emergency services quickly arrived at the scene, where they found the charred remains of Ashley’s mother, Kathy. She had also been shot in the head. The fire was ruled to be arson, but where were Lauria, Ashley or Ashley’s father, Danny?

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.

Casefile Archives 5 Lauria Bible & Ashley Freeman

*** Content Warning: child victims ***

Oklahoma teenager Ashley Freeman celebrated her sixteenth birthday by inviting her best friend, Lauria Bible, over for a sleepover. It was a pleasant yet uneventful evening, until the following morning of December 30 1999, when neighbours noticed that the Freemans’ house was engulfed in flames.

Emergency services quickly arrived at the scene, where they found the charred remains of Ashley’s mother, Kathy. She had also been shot in the head. The fire was ruled to be arson, but where were Lauria, Ashley or Ashley’s father, Danny?

*** Content Warnings: Sexual assault, child sexual assault, arson, animal cruelty ***

When 32-year-old Tina Herrmann didn’t show up for work on Wednesday, November 10 2010, her manager immediately alerted the authorities. Soon they found that not only had Tina vanished, but so had her two children - 13-year-old Sarah Maynard and 11-year-old Kody Maynard - and her best friend, 41-year-old Stephanie Sprang. To make matters worse, there were bloodstains discovered throughout Tina’s home. Soon, clues would lead detectives to a disconcerting scene - a rundown house filled from top to bottom with leaves…

In December 1948, the body of an unidentified male was found on Somerton Beach in Adelaide, South Australia. It initially appeared the man had simply passed away in his sleep, but as police looked into his death, they discovered a series of bizarre and unexplainable clues that presented more questions than answers. Was the Somerton Man an international spy? If so, what was he doing in Adelaide? And what significance did the ancient Persian text found in his pocket hold?

On January 11, 1965, 15-year-old Christine Sharrock and Marianne Schmidt spent the day at Cronulla Beach with Marianne's four younger siblings. After lunch, the two teenagers went for a walk into the nearby sandhills at Wanda Beach, but never returned.

The following day, their bodies were found in the sand dunes. The murders shocked the nation, triggering one of the largest homicide investigations in Australian history. Despite an exhaustive inquiry, police were unable to identify the killer. Decades on, the mystery remains.

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.

These are shows we've put our hearts into and are really proud of. Today, we’re sharing another one of those shows — The Vanishing of Vivienne Cameron.

Back in 2018, we covered this case as Case 80: Beth Barnard. But this ten-part series goes far deeper. It’s a long-form investigation, written and hosted by Vikki Petraitis — who co-authored The Phillip Island Murder, the book that first brought this story to public attention.

The Vanishing of Vivienne Cameron revisits the events of that night in 1986, when 23-year-old Beth Barnard was found brutally murdered, and 35-year-old Vivienne Cameron—who was the prime suspect in Beth's murder—disappeared without a trace.

Across ten episodes, Vikki examines the women at the centre of the case, the evidence, the forensics, the witness accounts, and the many conflicting stories that have shaped public opinion for nearly forty years. It’s a complex, haunting mystery that continues to raise more questions than it answers. 

We’re releasing the first episode here on the Casefile feed. You can find the full ten-part series by searching for The Vanishing of Vivienne Cameron, wherever you get your podcasts.

I hope you enjoy the series.

These are shows we've put our hearts into and are really proud of.

Today, we’re sharing another one of those shows, The Detective’s Dilemma, which is narrated by me.

The Detective’s Dilemma was originally released as a Spotify exclusive, meaning you could only listen to it on that platform. But now, for the first time, the entire series is available everywhere, for free, wherever you get your podcasts.

When 22-year-old Sian O’Callaghan went missing, Detective Steve Fulcher arrested a suspect who offered to lead him to her body. When the suspect then asked, “Do you want another one?”, it set in motion one of the most significant and controversial investigations in recent UK history.

The Detective’s Dilemma explores the complex questions it raised about the justice system, police procedure, and the cost of doing what you believe is right. It’s a story that leaves you asking: what would you have done in the same situation?

Matty was originally released in 2022 as a Spotify exclusive, meaning you could only listen to it on that specific platform. But now, for the first time, the entire Matty series is available everywhere, wherever you get your podcasts.

Matty was the second podcast series we made in collaboration with Loren O’Keeffe from The Missed Foundation. Matty tells the story of Matthew Leveson, a 20-year-old who went missing in Sydney in 2007. His disappearance led to a decade-long fight by his parents, Mark and Faye Leveson, to bring their son home.

The Levesons search uncovered many twists, countless hurdles, and years of stonewalling, along with moments of both good and bad investigative work. It’s a story filled with heartbreak, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of the truth.

It’s a Casefile Presents production—created by the same team behind Casefile, with the same high standards you expect from us. I hope you enjoy the series.

*** Content warnings: Child sexual abuse, grooming, domestic violence ***

In the early morning hours of Tuesday, March 19 1985, police were summoned to a shocking scene at an ordinary suburban home in Garden Grove, California. 23-year-old wife and mother Linda Brown had been shot twice and killed. The culprit was her 14-year-old stepdaughter, Cinnamon Brown, who was found barely conscious and clutching a suicide note in a dog kennel in the backyard. Cinnamon openly admitted to shooting Linda, and the case appeared to be open-and-shut… But nothing was quite as it seemed in this picture-perfect family.

Case 335 Linda Brown

*** Content warnings: Child sexual abuse, grooming, domestic violence ***

In the early morning hours of Tuesday, March 19 1985, police were summoned to a shocking scene at an ordinary suburban home in Garden Grove, California. 23-year-old wife and mother Linda Brown had been shot twice and killed.

The culprit was her 14-year-old stepdaughter, Cinnamon Brown, who was found barely conscious and clutching a suicide note in a dog kennel in the backyard. Cinnamon openly admitted to shooting Linda, and the case appeared to be open-and-shut… But nothing was quite as it seemed in this picture-perfect family.

For the girls who attended the ultra-Orthodox Jewish school, Mrs Leifer’s warm, outgoing and friendly personality made her a breath of fresh air. But all was not as it seemed. It would take three former students – sisters Nicole Meyer, Dassi Erlich and Elly Sapper – to finally reveal the truth...
