This week we will talk about the psychological impacts on families in unsolved child abduction and murder cases. This discussion is timely, as September 12th of this year is the tenth anniversary since William Tyrrell went missing from his foster family's home in 2014. Ten years is a long time for his families to wait for answers. Other cases we will talk about are Madeleine (missing since May 2007), and the Wanda Beach murders – unsolved since 1965.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week we dive back into true crime. First we head to Australia for the horrific murder of two young girls, Marianne Schmidt and Christine Sharrock. This sadly unsolved case took place in 1965 when two girls who went to the beach with family never returned home. There was a few suspects but to this date it remains unsolved. The second case branches off of the first case, as Christopher Wilder was a suspect in the Wanda Beach case, amongst many other cases all leading up to a large murder spree across America. He's known as The Beauty Queen Killer and The Snapshot Killer. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/arcanumobscura/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/arcanumobscura/support

Australia was just not ready for the horrific murders of 2 teenaged girls in January 1965, and everyone struggled to make sense of such violence. The police department tried their best, launching an investigation that has still not been surpassed to this day in sheer size. However, it just was not enough to get justice for Christine Sharrock and Marianne Schmidt and to this day we still search for who caused such terror on Wanda Beach that day. Intro/outro "Sugar Sugar" By Fast Lady

Were you at the Wanda gig in 1982? It's forty years since Triple J hosted a free outdoor concert on Sydney's Wanda Beach, where a massive crowd turned up to see the bands whose music defined an era, and who changed the sound of Australian rock forever
Marianne and Christine were only fifteen years old when they went for a trip to the beach with Marianne's siblings in 1965. When a windstorm set in, the girls would run to collect the bags they stashed at the beach—but they would never return. A day later, they would be found brutally murdered on that same beach. Theories would fill the news, blaming notorious serial killers, unnamed pedophiles, and mysterious boys from secret diary entries. To this day, their murders remain unsolved.
For the 2nd nightmare before Christmas, we discuss one of the oldest unsolved cases in New South Wales, Australia, and one of the country's most infamous cases. Most of us know about the Beaumont Children's disappearance, the three Australian siblings who disappeared from Glenelg Beach near Adelaide, South Australia, and are still missing. But I don't think many of us outside of Australia know about Marianne Schmidt and Christine Sharrock, murdered on Wanda Beach a year before.

It was a squally Monday during their school break when 16-year-old Marianne Schmidt and her best friend, Christine Sharrock, hopped a train with Marianne's four younger siblings and headed from West Ryde, Australia, to Wanda Beach. As the younger children sat in the sand and listened to the radio, Marianne and Christine went for a walk. The next day their violated bodies were found in the sand dunes by a group of exploring children. Who raped and murdered Marianne and Christine? Was it the man seen at the beach wearing the corrugated iron mask or the pervert asking beachgoers to look at porno magazines with him? Find out why so many investigators now believe that Derek Percy, Australia's "Hannibal Lector", may be responsible for the crime.

In this episode, Lindsey and Tiffany cover a very broad topic this week as they focus on ocean stories/cases. Lindsey starts us off with the mysterious story surrounding the Eilean Mor Lighthouse featuring strange large birds and ‘little people' with magic according to the locals. Based on legend, Lindsey wants to believe it was a sea serpent, but Tiffany thinks it was the magical beings that have resided on the island long before the lighthouse and it's keepers arrived. Tiffany concludes this episode with a more harrowing tale of the unsolved Wanda Beach murders. While the case remains unsolved, Tiffany dives into a few theorized suspects to keep our eyes on which we always love discussing. Be sure to check out her blog post in order to find out more information about the suspect that cannot be mentioned by name and let us known what you think about the listed suspects!

Dr Karen Owen has sat down with hundreds of sex offenders and was instrumental in devising Australia's first rehabilitation program for sex offenders. Dr Owen's most frustrating client was the late child killer Derek Percy - who was linked to the murders of at least nine children in the 60s, including being a suspect in the Wanda Beach, Beaumont children, Simon Brook and Linda Stilwell murders.

On this weeks episode, we're talking about the unsolved murders that occurred on January 11, 1965 of 15 year old best friends Marianne Schmidt and Christine Sharrock at Wanda Beach, in Sydney, Australia.
There are twists, there are turns, and there are still no answers when it comes to the slayings of Marianne Schmidt and Christine Sharrock, also known as the Wanda Beach Murders. Granted, it would be unlikely to have any answers as the terrible event took place in 1965. However, as we'll discover, there were leads being looked at well into the mid and 2010's. The case shocked the community, and the fact that it was never solved was more or less the first in a string of unsolved crimes, mostly murders, around that time. Some believed that they were connected, some thought some were connected, and others really didn't know either way. This episode looks at the similarities between some of these unsolved crimes, the suspects involved, and some wonderfully botched police work that includes losing more or less the only DNA evidence they recovered and kept. Yay police! I go on a bit of a rant in the episode about it, so I'll save you having to read it too. In the end, it's no real surprise that the case has gone unsolved. From the location, to the time, to the lack of eye-witnesses (though there is one that we'll talk about), it just seemed as though this case was destined to never be solved. Although there were three main suspects in the case, none ever confessed, and two died before charges could ever be laid (granted one was in the 2000's). The police were banking on a confession for these murders, but sadly they never got them. Too often police theorize and stick to one version of whatever story they like as opposed to letting the evidence lead the way. I understand, when there isn't much evidence to go on, sometimes you have to pluck something out of mid-air and hope its right, because if it's wrong, well you've just landed an innocent person behind bars. For all the details regarding this case, be sure to listen not only to this episode, but part one as well.

Who doesn't love a little true crime now and again? I know I sure do, which is why every so often I like to toss on into the circuit of episodes, and this one will be a two parter, so that's even better, right? Today we look at in incident that took place in the 1960's in Australia, and it focuses on a pair of teenage girls who would often frequent a beach known as Wanda beach. It was a bit of a trek from their home, a couple of train rides away, so whenever they went, they were sure to make a day of it. One fateful day in January of 1965 Marianne Schmidt and her four younger siblings, accompanied by Marianne's friend, Christine Sharrock left for Wanda beach. When they arrived around 11am, the weather was so bad that the beach was closed to the public. They weren't going to let the day go to waste however, and made their way to some rock bluffs to get the most out of their time. They swam and picnicked, and hiked to their hearts content. They then made their way to some sand hills before the younger children wanted to head home. Marianne and Christine left the kids there to go fetch their belongings at the rock bluff. That was the last time the girls were seen alive. The case is heart wrenching, as any case involving kids are, and it's only made more upsetting by the complete mystery shrouding the case. In this episode we look at the beginnings up to the investigation, which I'll save for you until next week. It one we may never get answers to... or will we? You'll just have to listen and see, and keep an eye out for next week's episode as well which will have the final outcome of the case.

The Wanda Beach Murders are possibly Australia’s most well-known cold case. The 1965 murder of Marianne Schmidt and Christine Sharrock devastated the nation, and to this day police are still trying to piece together the circumstances of their deaths. In this episode, your girls discuss one of the most likely suspects, a serial killer who travelled across the US, luring girls to their deaths by posing as a photographer. In 1965 though, he was just another Aussie teenager… one who happened to match the description of the only other person seen at the beach when Marianne and Christine were murdered.On the 11 of January 1965, two fifteen year old girls, Marianne Schmidt and Christine Sharrock, went down to spend the day at Wanda Beach in Sydney, and were never seen alive again. Their bodies were found lying on a deserted section of beach, brutally stabbed. The perpetrator has never been caught, and it remains New South Wales' oldest unsolved homicide case.As one of Australia’s most notorious cold cases, many potential suspects have been put forth, both by the police and by armchair detectives. One possible candidate is the Beauty Queen Killer, Christopher Wilder, who killed eight women in a six week long crime spree across the United States.It’s possible we’ll never know who killed Marianne and Christine. But the people of Australia will not let these two girls be forgotten.To read more about Christopher Wilder and his connection to Wanda Beach, go here https://www.theleader.com.au/story/5458975/australian-serial-killer-linked-to-wanda-beach-murders/?fbclid=IwAR0T0Qa1RsXBqdEhGGjWZkSPSE8SaT_GTEEh80Ee4KbxVRPb8N5GPHnKvZ4For some surprisingly good crime journalism considering it's from Mama Mia, go here https://www.mamamia.com.au/wanda-beach-murders/?fbclid=IwAR2Gw3sAqsIWACPxGLz1IhKQwXa1rXPwYtgFak5egauV1amZ4JwfqWDQv9oCatch the episode of Sunday Night here https://au.news.yahoo.com/wanda-beach-murders-part-1-214802595.html?fbclid=IwAR1AbB0caFA5GOQVOZhGEBeOp3Z_Yo1U4LhJsPAtFb7esWECeJ2uRkcwVgMListen to the dulcet tones of Casey Casefile discussing Wanda Beach here https://casefilepodcast.com/case-1-the-wanda-beach-murders/?fbclid=IwAR1wdGF9dEO9b6Fr8ZB_XW6PxsZwaoZhWW1l35CBy9HdFkDR-XmmHJoDQvkFind us on FACEBOOK, TWITTER, INSTAGRAM or EMAIL us on murderinthelandofoz@gmail.com
