  • Ignore Negative Reviews

    Apparently if it's not Casefile it's no good. Tom and the team have helped breathe life into this harrowing case. The walk up the alleyway behind Claudia's has brought up a major flaw in many online theories and points out how flawed the police investigation was. Dark person was the original suspect and yet if he couldn't even make it to Claudia's gate then what are we expecting his involvement to have been? Keep it up. This pod seems like the ONLY hope we have in catching Claudia's killer.

  • Thin Gruel

    A podcast with few revelations, that fails to consider why the police focused on four key suspects. As mentioned in another review, a new suspect’s knowledge of how to dispose of a body was gained from watching a Guy Ritchie movie.

    All this is is basically a minimally edited conversation with a grieving mother. Spoiler alert.., you don’t get any answers.
