Outlouders, prepare yourselves! We've witnessed something rare and spectacular – Jessie Stephens in full fan-girl mode. We're talking wide-eyed, can't-form-proper-sentences, borderline embarrassing levels of excitement. The cause of this meltdown? None other than the elusive figure behind one of Australia's most successful podcasts – Casefile's mysterious 'Casey' – who recently graced True Crime Conversations with his presence. To the true crime community, he's podcast royalty. A voice that has guided millions through some of history's darkest moments, all while maintaining his own anonymity. Some call him 'Casey', others 'that Casefile bloke', but nobody calls him by his real name... because nobody knows it! In this fascinating conversation with our own Gemma Bath, the man behind the microphone reveals: Why he's kept his identity tucked away safer than evidence in a cold case The unexpected origin story of how Casefile became a global phenomenon His behind-the-scenes creative process (spoiler: it's meticulous) Which cases have left the deepest psychological fingerprints on him THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia CREDITS Guest: Casey Host: Gemma Bath Producer: Tahli Blackman Audio Producer: Jacob Round GET IN TOUCH If any of the contents in this episode have caused distress, know that there is help available via Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636.

In 2015, Australian con woman Belle Gibson was living the dream. Her app The Whole Pantry was hugely popular and she was about to launch a book of the same name. With hundreds of thousands of followers online, Belle had become a celebrated wellness influencer who'd overcome terminal cancer and had cured herself with healthy eating and holistic therapies. But it was all a lie. The truth came to light when her friend, Chanelle McAuliffe, noticed gaps in Belle's story. The moment she exposed her deception is now the focus of the Netflix series Apple Cider Vinegar. Today, Chanelle tells us what the show got right and wrong, the challenges she faced as a whistleblower, and how she feels about Belle and her crimes now, a decade on.

Netflix's new series "Apple Cider Vinegar" has reignited interest in one of Australia's most notorious wellness scams - the story of Belle Gibson; the wellness influencer who claimed she cured her terminal cancer through clean eating. And as outrageous as some of the storylines in the show may be, turns out there may be more truth to them than first expected. Today we separate fact from fiction in the Netflix series, and revisit the true story of how one woman's lies shook the foundations of the wellness industry.

The disappearance of The Beaumont Children is burned into the collective conscious of Australia. It’s one of the longest-running cases in the nation’s history and has baffled law enforcement for more than half a century. Stuart Mullins grew up down the road from the Beaumont children in Adelaide. Over the years he has researched and co-authored investigative writing into their disappearance. He walks us through the case, and why he believes he knows just who is responsible for the disappearance of Jane, Arnna and Grant on Australia Day in 1966.

In 2018, while taking a picture of her son at a gathering, Nicole Madigan had a brief encounter with a stranger who asked her if she was photographing a man named Adam. The exchange felt bizarre, but Nicole thought little of it. That is, until later that night when she received a text from the woman. What started as one odd message soon spiralled into years of harassment, ultimately leading to the woman, Karissa, being charged with stalking. But even in 2024, a conviction hasn’t stopped her. Nicole joins Gemma on True Crime Conversations to share her story. A journalist herself, with extensive experience investigating stalking, Nicole has written a book about her experience.

Ever since the mysterious death of Boston Policeman John O'Keefe, during a snowy night in 2022, the small town where he died has been divided. There are two very distinct camps. Was John killed by those at a house party, inside a house full of police and law enforcement, who then proceeded to cover up his murder? Or did his girlfriend Karen Read kill him with her car, before he even made it through the front door? The case has since snowballed into an international debate fueled by both The Free Karen movement that's taken over TikTok and evidence that the defence claims points to a clear-cut police cover-up.

Please note, this episode speaks of child abuse.  The Franke's. They were a stereotypical American mormon family from Utah. In 2015, Ruby & her husband Kevin started posting vlogs of their day to day life with their 6 kids.  But over the years, loyal fans started voicing their concerns at how the parents were disciplining their children.  In this episode of The Quicky we discover what happened when the cameras weren't rolling inside the walls of the Franke house, and how this seemingly normal, albeit strict, mum of 6 was torturing her own children.  To listen to the entire True Crime Conversations episode on Ruby Franke, click here.

Subscribe to Mamamia This isn't just another ghost story. This one has far too many creepy and strange coincidences.Journalist Tristan Redman had unexplained things happen in his childhood bedroom. And he wasn't the only one. There was another family, who lived in the same house, who had similar stories. The house really did seem… well… haunted. Then things got even weirder. Tristan discovered his wife's great grandmother was murdered in the house next door. Could that have anything to do with the ghost of Tristan's childhood? The more Tristan dug the more questions he had, not just about the paranormal, but about the murder itself. In this No Filter, Tristan talks about an extremely complicated murder plot, how he went to see psychic mediums and why he chose to keep investigating this mystery (and create a hit podcast in the process) despite it causing enormous friction within his wife's family.Tristan's podcast Ghost Story is available on Wondery here, Spotify here, or Apple Podcasts here.  THE END BITS:Ghost Story from Wondery and Pineapple Street Studios.

The murder of Lynette Dawson was a crime that unravelled in real-time via a podcast called The Teacher's Pet in 2018. It was a groundbreaking investigation. One that forced police to re-investigate things they'd filed away as unimportant decades prior.  Shanelle Dawson, Lynette's daughter, had already pieced together the truth before investigative journalist Hedley Thomas came knocking. But his podcast helped put her father behind bars.  Since then, Shanelle has released her own story, in her own words via a memoir called My Mother's Eyes. On this episode of True Crime Conversations, she joins Mamamia's Mia Freedman to give incredible insight into what it's like to grow up with a father who did an unthinkable crime, and spent years lying to her about it.

The truth is Chris murdered Lyn and moved his 16 year old girlfriend into their family home just two days later. Shanelle spent her entire life looking for answers and being manipulated. The Teacher's Pet podcast series unearthed compelling evidence which led to the case being reinvestigated in 2018 and Chris' arrest, conviction and sentence to life in jail.

Karen Bell met Gary Poxon in 1993. She was 17, he was 29.  By 2008, the pair were living in an isolated farmhouse in Pericoe with their three children - Maddie, Jack and Bon. Their 15 year long relationship was filled with emotional and physical abuse, with multiple AVOs taken out against Gary to protect Karen. He faced charges more than once for assaulting her, but he'd never once hurt their kids.  They were his trump card. Every time Karen tried to leave Gary he would withhold them. 'You can go,' he would tell her, 'but the kids stay with me.' It was an impossible position. Eventually Karen fled, fearing for her life if she stayed. It would be the last time she ever saw her children alive. CREDITS Guest: Megan Norris You can find out more details about her book Look What You Made Me Do here.

What little kid doesn't want their Dad to take them to the shop and get them a kinder surprise? That's what Ramazan Acar told his ex partner Rachelle D'Argent in November 2010, when he turned up at her Melbourne home, breaking yet another intervention order that she had taken out against him. He just wanted to take his daughter to the little shop down the road and get her a treat. But Yazmina Acar would never return from that trip with her dad. Angry and upset over his perception that he was being wronged by his ex, Acar took the innocent little girl, just a few days shy of her third birthday, and ran. What happened next will haunt Rachelle for the rest of her life. CREDITS Guest: Megan Norris You can find out more details about her book Look What You Made Me Do here.

You can listen to our first-hand interview with Michelle Steck here. In 1993, Michelle Steck lost her daughter Kelly at the hands of her former partner Kevin East. It was an horrific act classified as retaliatory filicide, when domestic violence perpetrators use their children to get back at their partners who dare to leave them.  Today we're joined by Megan Norris, the author of Look What You Made Me Do: Fathers Who Kill, to examine Michelle's story and the systemic failures that left a vulnerable little girl at the mercy of her violent and abusive father.

When Bevin and Brad Simmons went missing off the coast of the Cape York Peninsula in 2003, a massive air, land and sea search was launched to find the pair. The operation covered a huge area but in the days and weeks that followed, no evidence was found. Not their boat, not a body, not even a piece of fishing gear that may have floated away if they'd capsized. To this day, the final resting place of Bevin and Brad is unknown. But the story uncovered during the investigation - of an ongoing turf war between two rival fishing families, that seemingly took a fatal turn - would eventually lead to charges being laid.

The notorious Whisky Au Go Go nightclub fire in Brisbane in 1973 left behind questions that remain unanswered to this day. Who was really behind it, who was there that night, why did 15 people have to die and did it go beyond just criminal activity to include corrupt police too? But the deaths of 15 people that night wouldn't be the only ones linked to the blaze. When the McCulkins, 34 year old Barbara, 13 year old Vicky and 11 year old Leanne went missing in 1974, the investigation into their disappearance would find very little. But a confession from another criminal many years later, would send two men to jail and again cause the convictions around the Whiskey Au Go Go fire to be questioned.  THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia CREDITS Guest: Matthew Condon You can hear his podcast Ghost Gate Rd here.  Host: Claire Murphy Executive Producer: Gia Moylan Assistant Producer: Tahli Blackman Audio Producer: Scott Stronach GET IN TOUCH: Check out our TikTok here.

The Whisky Au Go Go Fire is just as much a mystery today as it was in the hours after the tragedy that took the lives of 15 people in Fortitude Valley on March 8th 1973. Police would start a major investigation that would drag in some of Brisbane's most well known criminals, gangsters, bosses and violent offenders who had spent time together in jails over decades, creating networks and ties that spread down the coast into Sydney. But the investigation would also expose police and political corruption, with a group of officers, who were on the take from those very criminals, potentially using this fire to help some club owners cash in. Was it meant to escalate as it did? Were those 15 people meant to be victims or were they just in the wrong place at the wrong time with an arson attack that went far more successfully than the perpetrators planned?

In 1992, career criminal Peter Gibb met prison guard Heather Parker while serving a 12-year sentence at the Melbourne Remand Centre. Heather claimed she didn't notice Peter at first, but she quickly became smitten and their relationship developed from flirtatious to physical. When their affair was exposed Heather was immediately transferred, with communication between the two forbidden. But they couldn't be stopped, and with the help of another inmate acting as their middleman, the pair hatched a plan to break Peter out of prison. Their escape sparked one of Australia's largest criminal pursuits and saw Heather and Peter dubbed Australia's Bonnie and Clyde.

In the later months of 1995, 28-year-old Jayne Mansfield found herself in need of an obstetrician. She was pregnant with her first baby and, as most first-time mums do, she put her trust in the medical professional her GP had referred her to - a doctor named Graeme Reeves at The Hills Hospital in Sydney's Baulkham Hills. Throughout her pregnancy care, Jayne felt there was something not quite right about her doctor, but it wasn't anything specific, nothing she could really put her finger on. And as far as she knew she was receiving expert care… who was she to question the methods of a doctor with the relevant qualifications and over a decade of experience? In 1996, Jayne delivered her bouncing baby boy, and the unnerving memories of her obstetrician's strange behaviours quickly disappeared in the busy haze of new parenthood. It would be years before she saw his face again, this time it was on the TV during the news, the words The Butcher Of Bega emblazoned under his image.  THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia CREDITS Guest: Jayne Mansfield Host: Claire Murphy Executive Producer: Gia Moylan Guest Booking: Cassie Merritt Audio Producer: Scott Stronach GET IN TOUCH: Feedback?

In 2011 gynaecologist Graeme Stephen Reeves was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison for maliciously inflicting grievous bodily harm on one of his patients. A case that was just one of many allegations of heinous offences against his female patients, that dated back nearly two decades.  Claims of assaults, molestation and mutilation plagued his career from the 90s, and in 1997 the NSW medical board banning Reeves from practising obstetrics. Despite that, he took a job in 2001 as a specialist obstetrician and gynaecologist for the Greater Southern Area Health Service, working unregistered in Bega and Pambula.  When he was finally struck off the medical register in 2004, a trail of traumatised women were left in his wake, most too embarrassed or mortified to tell their stories.

Pentecostalism has been practised in Australia since the 1920s. But it wasn't until husband and wife team Brian and Bobby Houston launched Hillsong church in 1983 that Pentecostal Christianity really began to surge in popularity.   From its humble beginnings in Sydney's Baulkham Hills, by 2018 Hillsong had 80 branches in 21 countries. But after a spectacular and meteoric rise to international popularity, over the last several years Hillsong has been dogged by controversy. Allegations of fraud, coercive control, and abuse eroding its stronghold on Pentecostal believers.  But what's life actually like inside this megachurch? And what next for the followers who've been left disillusioned. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia CREDITS Guest: Marc Fennell You can watch his documentary The Kingdom on SBS On Demand.

Earlier this week, in an historic decision, the NSW attorney general made the extraordinary announcement that Kathleen Folbigg had been granted a pardon after 20 years in prison. In 2003, Kathleen was sentenced to thirty years for the murders of three of her children and the manslaughter of a fourth. And while she always maintained her innocence, it wasn't until a second inquiry into Kathleen's convictions, that new scientific developments led to revelations that three of her children could have died of natural causes. As the dust settles from this week's announcement, attention has turned to understanding the failures that put her in jail, the scientific advancements that freed her, and quashing her convictions once and for all.  THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia CREDITS Guest: Dr Xanthe Mallett The latest episode of her podcast, Motive & Method, saw Xanthe and her cohost interview Kathleen's best friend Tracy Chapman.

In November, 1994, 16-year-old Gordana Kotevski was abducted while walking home from a local shopping centre in the Newcastle suburb of Charlestown. Gordana was just moments from her aunt's front door when she was dragged into a white Toyota Hilux by two men, and never seen again.  Her loved ones have spent years since her kidnapping in an unrelenting search for answers. But despite wide scale police searches and multiple eye-witness accounts, as well as ongoing public appeals and rewards, Gordana's body has never been found.

Listen to part two of this conversation with Nino, here.  In the mid 90s, the Stoccos seemed like any other Aussie family. A mum and dad, Connie and Gino, and their two teenage kids, Mark and Christina.But in 1997, the breakdown of this seemingly happy family marked the beginning of a dark new chapter for Gino of crime and violence. It was a path he wouldn't walk alone though, as little by little, Gino's son Mark, would join him in his offending. What started as stolen groceries or a fall out with an employer would manifest into serious lawlessness. The likes of which would see the pair listed amongst Australia's most wanted criminals.  THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia CREDITS Guests: Nino Bucci, author of The Stoccos: Like Father, Like Son Host & Producer: Emma Gillespie Executive Producer: Gia Moylan Audio Producer: Madeline Joannou  GET IN TOUCH: Feedback?

The murders of Harvey and Jeannette Crewe in June 1970 were labelled the death of innocence in New Zealand, and would go on to become one of the country's most infamous cold cases.  In the immediate aftermath, a man named Arthur Allan Thomas was found guilty of the crime. His fate sealed by a piece of evidence so compelling that a jury had no doubt he was the killer. A piece of evidence that years later would be revealed to have been planted.  Thomas was granted a royal pardon after serving nine years in prison. But the question of who really killed Harvey and Jeannette Crewe remains to this day.

The phenomenon of stalking is as prolific as it is insidious. The breadth of quiet suffering perpetrators calculate and inflict on their subjects often leads to victims being completely unable to identify what's happening to them, and to seek help. Journalist Nicole Madigan was stalked by a woman she barely knew for three years. Her experience led her to investigate the power, fixation and control that drives stalkers, and the havoc they wreak on the lives of their victims.  THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia CREDITS Guest: Nicole Madigan You can learn more about her new book Obsession here.

Michelle Burgess is one of Australia's most infamous ‘black widows' - a term given to female psychopaths who either kill or organise other men to kill other men. In 2001, Michelle plotted two murders. The targets were her husband Darren, and a woman named Carolyn Matthews - a mother of three whose husband Kevin had become involved in an affair with Michelle. While Michelle & Kevin would only see through one half of this twisted plan before they were stopped, they would eventually be served with two of the longest non-parole periods in South Australia's history.
