Von Einem will never name his accomplices, which is so gross and infuriating. His photo scares me, and to be honest, i think he did more than what he was ever accused of.

2021-02-20 00:27:44 +0000 UTCI think it's about time that the names of those surpressed under order be revealed, do these young men not deserve for all the people involved in the family be brought to justice for what they did. Yes they may be high profile members of the public here in south Australia, but it's been 40 plus years time to name these people now

2021-02-19 06:36:39 +0000 UTCYes! That’s it! The Australian Family cult. Thanks Captain 👨✈️

2021-02-19 03:40:49 +0000 UTCHi So Real, yes there are graphic details throughout the duration of the episode.

2021-02-19 02:48:34 +0000 UTCQuestion... are the graphic details discussed throughout the ep? I got through 20 min or so, but had to stop. And hate myself for it. Episodes like this make me feel guilty for loving true crime, but having the option to hit pause from my own comfortable safety, when the victims and their families obviously did not. (Prob doesn’t make sense. Sorry.)
So Real
2021-02-19 02:46:16 +0000 UTCYou might be thinking of the documentary "The Family" - I think it's about an Australian cult IIRC

2021-02-19 02:27:28 +0000 UTCWhy do these killers always drive Holdens??
Chantelle
2021-02-18 17:30:50 +0000 UTCWas thinking that exactly!!
Chantelle
2021-02-18 17:29:34 +0000 UTCI know there was an extra disclaimer at the beginning of this ep, but holy sh*t. The mutilation is horrific. My heart breaks for the victims and their loved ones.

2021-02-17 01:56:05 +0000 UTCDid the same thing! It was not about Manson and I was surprised but loved it.

2021-02-15 07:05:32 +0000 UTCThank you Bob, we have now fixed that up. Much appreciated.
Casefile True Crime
2021-02-14 20:08:12 +0000 UTCWhy did I think this was going to be about a cult?? It was such a good episode but full on. I’d never heard of this case before!

2021-02-14 12:56:15 +0000 UTCI reckon the pronunciation of Adidas has changed backwards and forwards at least three times in my life.

2021-02-14 09:40:04 +0000 UTCAssuming he is responsible for the Beaumont disappearance, that still leaves a gap between January 1966 and 1972, which fits perfectly with the Zodiac killings. But I agree, it is only a slim possibility - merely a thought worth considering given the Zodiac's reference to "Paradice" in his letters to the media and police.
Bob Trenwith
2021-02-14 08:20:42 +0000 UTCBob, it is unlikely that von Einem lived in the USA in the 1960’s. He is still considered a suspect in the 1966 disappearance of the Beaumont children and other missing and murdered people in South Australia. I think his whereabouts has been well investigated by police and think that this information would be documented should he have immigrated to the USA. Not impossible though.
Michelle Gray
2021-02-14 07:57:21 +0000 UTCYes, thanks for that - I did listen to the podcast. I asked COULD he have lived in the USA, meaning in the late 60s. Bryan Hartnell did say the Zodiac had an odd intonation - perhaps an accent.

2021-02-14 06:48:04 +0000 UTCGreat episode. Love when you do Australian cases.
Michelle Gray
2021-02-14 06:46:20 +0000 UTCCan’t believe I had never heard of these cases! Do you reckon the GP was still involved? The laparotomy to remove the bottle and then to suture it back up 🤷🏼♀️ and the prison doctors prescribing erectile dysfunction medication wow Wow wow!

2021-02-14 04:21:44 +0000 UTCThis one is pretty close to home. The perpetrator's brother was one of my school teachers.

2021-02-14 03:38:41 +0000 UTCI was sure this case had been done before. Must be thinking of another podcast.

2021-02-14 03:03:32 +0000 UTCThis one shook me to the core.

2021-02-14 00:51:09 +0000 UTCGreat ep - definitely more to this case than just one man

2021-02-13 22:44:50 +0000 UTCThis case is so sad. I remember seeing it on Crime Investigation Australia. Excellent job, as always, Casefile team.
Amber
2021-02-13 19:18:46 +0000 UTCWell I learned that I have been saying Adidas wrong! Thanks! And great episode!! I want to read that book now.
Rebekah
2021-02-13 15:53:35 +0000 UTCSo von Einem lived in Paradise? Could he possibly be the Zodiac Killer? I can't find any information about his life before 1972 - could he have live in the US?
Bob Trenwith
2021-02-13 12:56:14 +0000 UTCAn error at the 21 minute mark: You said Millhouse was arrested in January 1979 for a murder that was committed in August 1979.
Bob Trenwith
2021-02-13 11:16:53 +0000 UTCBoom!
