Man, this channel is severely underrated. This is only my second video, but I already know that I’m watching more.
Thank you!
But it ain't a video?
@@nickfleming3495 uhhh shut up

Im English but my father who was a marine engineer, was contracted to Australia to oversee a new operation for 5 yrs so me & my mum went with him.
Based in Sydney we lived in a place called Dolls Point near the beach overlooking Botany Bay
This was in 1964 & as a 13 yr old schoolgirl, me & my friends regularly went to Cronulla Beach as it wasnt far from us & the best beach by far for socialising & surfing
I remember in 1965 going almost every weekend & vertually daily during school holidays
Then suddenly my parents forbade me going to Cronulla Beach anymore. In fact most of my close friends were forbidden to go there unless supervised by a few parents & ordered to stay within speaking distance
I was vaguely aware something bad had happened at the beach but in those days our parents wouldnt expand on exactly what.
Fearing we were too young to be told details & it would upset us & cause nightmares
It wasnt until very recently, 2 yrs ago ( & thats 50 yrs ago since the Cronulla/Wanda Beach murders occurred) that i heard the full events of what took place when i was just 14.
I was horrified! Im pleased my parents didnt tell me & supervised all our beach trips thereafter.
It could so easily been one of us
As we often walked from Cronulla to Wanda. It was a very lonely place too, it scared me & i never liked walking there.
Just shows, wrong place wrong time can happen to anyone.
That is absolutely insane
Thank you for sharing this! I always wonder what people remember when I hear these kinds of events
@itallia666 im wondering if thats why the police didnt get people coming forward becase parent banned crunulla and wanda beach to their kids ...😢😢😢its a scarey thought 😢
Man, this takes me back. I'm from Germany and I was in Australia in 2015 and started to listen to that podcast. Yeah, right, grand idea, while road-tripping... But I have such fond memories listening to it with my ex-gf while being on those hours and hours of straight roads in the middle of nowhere. Your podcast really joined some of my best memories. And it really spooked me big time :o)
I too saw the interview with Kate McKinnon. Now I’m hooked. Research into each crime is well done.
Just started to listen to these types of podcasts not even 15 mins in and im HOOKED
Thank you kindly for the highest level research, journalism and narration in true crime podcasting.
True crime + podcasts + a beautiful Aussie accent ... could this get any better? I caught one of your vids in my suggestions and am now bingeing them from the beginning. Thank you for all of the work you put into these cases. They're wonderfully researched.
Same. This is my second binge of this podcast
I've listened to every single casefile on spotify, now I play them again on CZcams when I go to sleep 💤
Great content but the echo like audio quality makes it difficult to concentrate
New year's resolution 2021, start from the beginning, casefile number one... Happy bloody New year everybody!!!
i’m doing the same thing!
@@cheyennelove268 woo! So good
Absolutely love the channel especially the crimes that were committed here in Australia. I was wondering if you could make a playlist for the Australian ones? Keep up the great work, we never hear these things! Shocking truly but we shouldn't be kept in the dark you're doing a good job mate.
I also agree with this
I found this channel because Kate McKinnon mentioned it in an interview. I'm looking forward to listen to all of your podcasts. Greetings from Germany ❤🐰
Thanks Lela!
Same here you guys should thank Kate McKinnon for the plug on Fallon
Yay 😁😀😁 finally found number 1....been bingeing for 3 days since I found you. Th from new Zealand 😍
Just found this channel! Thank you so much for posting! Have definitely loads to hear after the coming weeks! 👏👏👏👍😊
Excellent job on this case! Very professionally executed. Also it's great to hear about cases from Australia since I'm in the US. You've got a new subscriber! What a disturbing case.
Found this channel lookin up the EAR. This is gonna be my new binge listen for work now.
thank you! this was exactly what i need, more anxiety 😂😂❤️
Fr
same lol
😂😂
New sunscriber...came across your page and starting from the beginning...soo stoked I have TONS of videos to catch up on...appreciate your work...much love from A Michigan Girl at Heart Living in Virginia 💛
Steve Martin mentioned this channel on Stephen Colbert's talk show. I'll listen to them in order.
Just discovered this channel will definitely be listening more 💪❤️
Interesting podcast. Thanks.
I'm binging this podcast on my iPhone and just found that it's on youtube too (which is nice if I'm on my laptop). LOVING the crime stories, though whenever it's unsolved I feel the murderer(s) get away with it and it infuriates me. Solved cases always satisfy me more (though still adore the podcasts :P )
Agreed because the victims had justice on top of that you don't have to worry about the suspect being on the loose and fear for your life.
I am so glad I found this, I usually read or watch true crime before bed (yea I know weird). But my eyes get sore.. this is my solution 😍. And bonus a fellow Aussie🇦🇺
Omg, same here about my eyes! I typically space out watch I watch, read, and listen to so my eyes can rest a bit.
i just discovered this channel and wow it is amazing, i was looking for something like Unsolved. This is amazing and really intriguing
This is the best I’ve ever heard, I’m going through the lot
These podcasts are gems. 👍👍 real good work.
Can't believe I've just found this channel 😮 I'm now binge listening 😊
welcome back love your channel
Excellent video. Love your channel. I’m happy I found your channel. ❤❤❤❤
It's interesting that the savage murder of the cleaner a year later in Wollongong also occurred within 100 meters of a train station in an very seedy area where vagrants would often sleep.
It's possible both crimes were perpetrated by a train hobo/beach bum, possibly because summer school holidays offered him opportunities or that he attended school. This may be supported by the fairly advanced home made nature of the spear found near the boy crabbing was found. A home made spear is harder to trace. Someone who hangs out with other beach hobos would soon learn how to make a spear.
It also possible the girls attended a kind of hobo/pervert/tramp beach party where Christine had a drink, I would imagine tramps might spend the night there. This also might be the reason not many who were seen in the area came forward.
The girls may have been invited to meet someone at the beach or sandhills which was why they were quite determined to be there, but were not able to due to the weather. This could also be linked to the boy appearing angry coz they didn't come (or possibly because they didn't bring food), furthering support that he was a tramp.
Wilder was a well built 19 yo and would be less likely to have needed to rest dragging a body, however after the physical exertion of killing /chasing 2 girls may have just needed to obscure the body quickly.
I wonder if more than one person is involved to some extent? Maybe a young (homeless?) boy procured the girls where an older man was involved in the murder.
It's also worth nothing the area where Anna Dowling was found is fairly large area surrounding a small medical research atomic reactor used for camping, dumping and trail biking as it is unsuitable for habitation.
Great research and presentation BTW. It's good that people don't stop trying to catch these bastards. Keep it up.
Your video is so interesting and informative. Excellent ❤❤❤
I have just caught up to date with this podcast .. so have gone back to start .. wow you can tell the difference haha he is rushing in this episode .. but man I love it .. great stuff anonymous host
i fucking love this guy, his narration is so good. His voice and backing music makes for such an eerie aura. Sometimes he can make my stomach churn, and fucking noone does that.
I finished criminal Minds and don't know what to do with my life anymore, so now I'm binging these podcasts
That is a good use of free time
Glad I found this after being curious about how a podcast is. I read it in some novel, then got curious.
As a criminology and criminal justice student, you sir have a new subscriber. Props for the Aussie accent too 🇦🇺
Brilliant 👏👏👏👏
These are great for crime buffs like me thanks so much and l don’t have any trouble with the narrator
I'm starting to go through all of Casefile
First time this show ever made me laugh. 33:50 made me crack up. The host giving a guy with corrugated iron on his head some cover.
I also can't believe how strong the production is from the first episode.
excellent true but sad story.
If the cops didn't want Wolfgang changing his story maybe they shouldn't question a young kid the way they question adults
Fascinating. Their poor families 😢 R.I.P.
omg think I just found another addiction, seriously!
Anyone else reminded of Delphi?
Halfway through the episode I had to stop and check the auto-generated captions to figure out what exactly was being said - Surfie Teen? Surfer Teen? Surfie Team? Survey Team? Every time he says this the captions give a different answer...
Definitely surfie team
Wolfgang told police he saw a blond teenage surfie (surfie teen).
Surfie teen 😂 blond hulking ausie teenager who spends all day riding the waves of the sea. You know the ones you see on all the videos of Bondi beach😆
I have been trying to Google this for like 20 mins, thought it was some kinda Australian slang.
@@MegamixCentral surfie teen!
Yes I am in 💙
this playlist is missing like 100 episodes now. can you maybe update it? please?..
Wolfgang was just 5 years old. Add that to the reasons to get his witness statement messed up
Speed was a bit quick for a min or 2, once settled, love it. And yay to the fact there are hundred plus yet to watch!!!! Am happy I found you! X
The reason Derek Percy got away with this terrible crime is because he was so young & nobody suspected him ! The perfect Alibi !
Yeah my top poi too.
Percy liked kids. Not young women.
@katrinasayers1863 15 is a kid. Late puberty but still kids.
Steve Martin brings me here. Yeah.
Christopher Wilder murdered a woman in the area i live in on his killing rampage at the end of his sorry life. He stopped at a mall in Beaumont Tx & snatched her in the parking lot. That mall still has a dangerous reputation.
Same.
Moral of the story listen to grandmas advice they know more full of wisdom but nah teens will be teens.
For the algorithm: because it shouldn't have taken over a year for me to find this channel.
The public failed these kids. Too afraid to come forward because of possible embarrassment. Obviously based on the autopsy they had within an hour of thier deaths been at a public gathering. Not one person cared more about them than themselves to come forward.
I'm 25 minuets in and it's already giving me anxiety lol
55:00
But what about the DNA that replicates the DNA until they have enough to test ?and the ancestry DNA thats solve many crimes .
Christopher Wilder did it.
✌
The narrator talks too fast. I could barely understand
I faced the same issue. Just reduce the speed to 0.75. It worked🙂
Wanted to like but 666 likes
The culprit was Chris wilder
Sloooowww Doooowsn!
I can’t listen to this one because it’s so damn fast.
Too bad the morality laws of the 60's are long gone now we have an abyss of carnage
Can you please talk alittle slower. There is alot of information to digest.
I'm sad. This is the fifth video of yours I attempt to listen to while working and I can't understand your accent if I'm not focusing. This is goodbye
After listening to a few Casefile episodes, I now have no trouble understanding his accent.
its an AUSTRALIAN accent..... are u seriously asking someone NOT from your country to speak differently??? To suit YOURSELF???? Oh ffs, you are a friggen KARENNNNNNN
Narrator speaks too fast
It would be sweet if they did these in english.
Haha? 😐
✌
