Came back here to listen before I listen to Life and Crimes update.

They've arrested the (alleged) perpetrator. Casey alludes to the person around the 33rd minute mark.

I know! Everything about this case is horrific but whenever I hear about abandoned infants/children, I feel physically ill.

Excellent episode. I remember when this crime took place, the horrific details of the murders and the poor baby being left alone for days was a major talking point for a long time. I hope that you cover the 1980 case of the “Lover’s Lane” killer / cowboy hat killer in Beaumaris, Victoria Australia one day. It was another particularly haunting killing.

Makes me sick thinking about how long that poor baby was left alone. So so glad he was okay

A milk bar is an Australian reference for a sort of small corner store/convenience store.

Can someone tell me what a Milk Bar is?? It's mentioned about 6:45 in when talking about the suburb the women lived in.

Katy Turley

Wow!!!! Great job once again. I wasn’t aware this story previously. So sad.

Jenny Brown

I am surprised I had never heard of this case, just so terribly sad, and yes incredible that two people entered the house and didn’t notice two murdered women and a distressed baby .

So Real

WHAT?! How many people can let themselves into a home with multiple murder victims and a crying toddler in it without at least one of the intruders being the murderer OR seeing one of the victims???!!! This is NUTS! ESH!

So Real

Right?! I actually skipped back to make sure I heard that correctly. Obviously shame on law enforcement for failure after failure, but that should be criminal.

Paul T

Haha me too! For 2 years. Was so happy to see it.

Carolyn Barry

Sooo the old lady neighbor just withheld evidence to spite the police? Lady I don't think you hurt the intended people...

CatC

Yeah, this case is messed up in SO many ways, but Gladys acting like a spoiled, entitled, petulant child has got to be the top of the dung heap. That and the cop that was kicked off the force for sexually assaulting women--WHY wasn't he in jail??

Amber

Forensic genealogy needs to be done in this case. I can't imagine having DNA for a case, no suspect and not trying to solve it through new technologies.

Sarah X

To the writer, the intro on this gave me goose bumps!!! So good 🤩

Sarah X

Yes! I thought the same thing the whole way thru.

Stacey Carson

This is heartbreaking.

Rosie Overell

Great to hear casefile covering this case. Always a spooky place; ‘easey street’ was synonymous with the murder in Melbourne. I hope they solve it!

SalBee

Sorry, you can't have compensation because you don't exist because your mum wasn't married. Imagine having to write that decision, if it was the only decision that could have been made under the law.

Monica

I’m so glad baby Gregory was okay. Was the elderly neighbour Gladys ever reinterviewed at any point or did they literally just give up trying? I’m shocked she allowed pride to come in the way of possibly helping solve a horrific double murder! Yes she may have felt that the police disrespected her but withholding that is just cruel to the victim’s families. And I have to mention: not one but TWO different men who had connections to the victims admitted they were in the home before the discovery of the bodies and somehow missed the bloody crime scene AND a crying baby?! That seems so suspicious to me.. what a baffling case.. almost too many persons of interest
