r/Casefile

Pretty much what the title says. I’ve listened to EVERY Casefile right up to the mid 300th episodes. I felt like I really drifted during some recent cases.

I just did a 5 hour road trip listening to Waco Texas from Episode 1 thru 3. It was incredible!

Top tier Casefile. Honestly I have to look up who wrote these episodes because the detail/pacing was perfect. Maybe up in my top 10 cases.

CaseFile might be experiencing a second golden era.

Looking for recommendations!

I’ll include a little bit of information below. Did Casefile cover this case? It seems super familiar but I can’t find the case on Spotify - it’s possible I listened to a different podcast on it. If anyone has any ideas what that may have been I’d love to know.

>!clean-cut family man and multi-millionaire Herman Rockefeller vanished. His remains were found later in a Glenroy back yard. He was killed when he visited the Hadfield home of Bernadette Denny and Mario Schembri for a sexual tryst. Schembri and Denny are now in jail, but the case lives on for its revelations about sordid sex with strangers, the swingers scene and Mr Rockefeller's double life. A new book revisits the crime.!<

The most recent Casefile Extra episode "Maria Cruz" reveals that Maria's death was caused by a fake doctor named Dean Faiello.

If you visit the Wikipedia page for Dean Faiello, it says he died in a car crash in 2024. But I couldn't find any reliable source for that claim. The source for the claim in the Wikipedia article is a dead page (and one that wasn't archived on the Internet Archive). I did some Google searching and could not find any other reliable article or source about a supposed car crash. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Faiello

There is a purported "Find a Grave" entry for Faiello, but Find a Grave is not a primary source, as it is also a user-generated resource. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/263600172/dean_anthony-faiello/flower

It strikes me that as a serial fabulist with a criminal record, Dean Faiello would love for people to think he is dead. Then they won't be asking questions like, what is Dean Faiello doing now?

What is a “flim-flam man” ?

Mine is Allison Baden-Clay, I think. He just exuded middle-aged homicidal guilt. Truly a fuckface for the Fuckface Hall of Fame.

Do you guys have any good ones?

(I'm going on a road trip with two friends and one cheating ex-boyfriend this weekend, and I'm in charge of the playlist. :))

I applied to be a writer for Casefile earlier this year but didn't get it. I've noticed there are a few new names popping up in the writing credits lately (congrats if any of you are here!).

Just wondering if anyone knows whether they've officially brought new writers on, or if they're still trialling people?

Yay! Love it!
