  • Casefile Revisited: Mr Cruel
    Oct 17 2026

    Casefile Revisited features newly re-recorded versions of classic episodes, revisiting the stories with enhanced production, fresh narration, and updated research where possible. The Mr Cruel episode was originally released in January 2017.


    *** Content Warning: Child sexual abuse, child abduction, murder of a child ***


    In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Melbourne was gripped by fear when a masked assailant began breaking into suburban family homes and abducting young children. The attacks were particularly callous, earning the assailant the moniker of ‘Mr Cruel’.


    10-year-old Sharon Wills, 13-year-old Nicola Lynas and an unnamed 11-year-old girl were amongst the survivors of Mr Cruel’. Mr Cruel also became a prime suspect in the abduction and murder of 13-year-old Karmein Chan. But who exactly was the man behind the mask?

  • Casefile Extra: Elena Milagro Hoyos
    Oct 10 2026

    Casefile Extra features bonus episodes exploring compelling cases, stories and topics beyond our regular weekly releases.


    When 20-year-old newlywed Elena Milagro Hoyos was diagnosed with tuberculosis in the spring of 1930, her family took her to the Marine Hospital in Key West, Florida, for treatment.


    There, they met a German-born scientist named Carl Tanzler, who promised that he – and he alone – could save Elena from certain death. The Hoyos family’s despair quickly turned to hope, but little did they know the disturbing lengths Carl would go to preserve Elena’s life.

    Oct 3 2026

    [Part 2 of 2]

    *** Content warnings: Sexual assault, rape, femicide, child sexual abuse ***

    For more than a decade, the investigation into the Gilgo Beach serial killings was stalled by corruption and apathy. But in 2022, a new task force would identify a clue that Suffolk County police had held in their possession since the very beginning of the investigation. A clue that would lead directly to the worst serial killer Long Island had ever seen…

I remember the case and I was heavily impacted by it. The case sent fear into every woman in the country. I am glad the case was treated sensitively.

not sensationalised
