Casefile True Crime

*** Content warnings: Sexual assault, child abuse, child sexual abuse ***

On Thursday, October 10 2013, passersby noticed a distraught-looking teenage girl, crying and shivering outside of Dublin’s General Post Office building. When police officers approached the girl, she either couldn’t, or wouldn’t, talk. The mystery teenager – soon dubbed the GPO girl – was taken into care, and experts suspected that she was a victim of sex trafficking.

When attempts to identify the GPO girl failed, Irish investigators went public with the case, not realising they were just dealing with just the tip of the iceberg in a crime spree that spanned continents.

Julie Ann Garciacelay was not quite 20 when she vanished from her inner-city apartment in Melbourne 50 years ago.

Three men who were with her that night in July 1975 told police the young American left to make a phone call and didn’t return. One would be linked to the infamous Easey Street murders 18 months later.

Julie has never been seen since, nor has her body been found. Her disappearance is one of Australia’s oldest, most haunting ‘cold cases’. But investigative journalist Helen Thomas has unearthed new information about her vanishing - so far from home, almost lost in time…

It was a peaceful morning on Friday, September 12 2014, as three-year-old William Tyrrell played happily in the backyard of his grandmother’s home in the small New South Wales town of Kendall. One minute, William roared like a tiger, posing for a photo in his favourite Spider-Man costume. Moments later, he vanished, sparking one of the largest missing person searches in Australian history.

With Casefile on a short break, we thought this would be a great time to shine a light on some of the shows that may have flown under the radar for many of you. These are shows we've put our hearts into and are really proud of.

Today, we’re showcasing Troubled Waters – a powerful, deeply moving series that brings Louisa Ioannidis’s life and the unanswered questions surrounding her death into full focus. From an international kidnapping, a daring escape and a family’s desperate bid to stay together, it all unravels into a downward spiral exacerbated by a toxic relationship, all the while revealing flaws in a family violence support system that desperately needs fixing.

I hope you enjoy the series.
