Hello everyone. It is time for the next instalment of Behind The Files and the general Q&A. The cases being covered this episode are; Case 300: Tegan Lane, Case 301: Michella Welch & Jennifer Bastian and Case 302: The DeGruchy Family. If you have any questions specific to these cases or any general questions for the team, put them in the comments below!

Hey guys, Following the release of Netflix’ “This is the Zodiac speaking”, I obviously relistened to the very well crafted 4 part episode that the Casefile team did on the case. Has the Casefile team watched it? Given the new evidence and the Seawater family coming forward, would Casefile ever do a 5th episode on it? Furthermore, what is the teams opinion? Is Arthur Leigh Allen the Zodiac?

Hi team, what's your view on Keli Lane? Guilty or not? Do you think she had more of a 'trial by media' due to being a woman? I'm fairly new to the Patreon channel so apologies if this has been asked before - has there ever been a case you've not been able to cover? Either because of legal implications or because it's just too disturbing? I absolutely love the channel, a big shout out to everyone involved in producing the episodes. It's my absolute favourite podcast ❤️

Casey -your Aftershock photos were rad. What were some of your favorite foods during your California trip?

Hi Casefile Team! Unless I’m mistaken, it seems that when there are no questions for a case on BTF, we don’t hear anything about the case, but if there are questions, in addition to those questions Casey will ask the respective writer if they had any comments about the case. I really enjoy the insight that the writers give when they share these comments. Would it be possible for the writers to share their comments (where they see fit) on cases that don’t get any questions? I’d hate to think we’re missing out on hearing the writers’ perspectives. I appreciate the tremendous amount of work you all do and really enjoyed listened to Missing Niamh. It is clear that an incredible amount of effort and dedication went into making that series. Thank you for always treating victims and their families with such dignity and respect.

I listen to a lot of true crime podcasts, through those I take in a lot of dates and locations. Do you ever find your cognitive biases kicking in and showing you patterns that are tough to distinguish between real and perceived? I'm sure I'm not alone in noticing when an event is reported to have happened on or near my birthday. It's only natural. But the amount of times these events have happened within a few days of it has unnerved me a bit. I've chalked it up to having a November birthday, which for much of the northern hemisphere can be a pretty bleak time of year. I have not done the research to see if this is reflected in real data. I'm more interested in what patterns others may have seen (falsely or otherwise). Do you have any little things you tend to notice? (I'm also interested to hear what followers in this thread have to say about this)

The Tegan Lane episode was fantastic! Listening to it, however, it seemed so clear to me that Kelli Lane had a history of obfuscating and repeatedly lying. I was genuinely surprised by the amount of support she received from the public. While researching the case, did you find that the support for her was largely due to the way she was portrayed by the media? Or was it a genuine belief that the investigators failed to verify her story?

Patrick Gadoury

Obviously many cases like the Tegan Lane cases are very widely known cases, that even recently got a documentary. As this is not uncommon in true crime, it makes sense that as you all attempt to give us variety, a big public case like this will come by every now and again. My question is... Has there ever been thoughts about doing high profile cases like Menendez Brothers, George Floyd, John Lennon and or anything like OJ Simpson, or the Chris Watts case. I appreciate the variety and the lesser known cases, but I'm more or less interested about how you guys did cover some massive cases before and what you think about some of the big cases you haven't yet touched.

- A couple questions for Casey: How do you feel after revealing your identity at CrimeCon? Has it changed your perspective about possibly being more public? Any regrets? - Case 300: I have to be honest, as an American listener, I had not heard of this case before. I found it appalling that a single judge had the power to decide that a child was murdered without any shred of evidence. Then to hand down such extreme sentence, it made me sick! I think of cases like that of Matthew Leveson or Niamh Maye, where more evidence existed to convict but the suspects got away! How disappointing of Australian justice system. - Congratulations on your work for Case 301, I was absolutely HOOKED with the pace of the story, the writing, and the musical score (shout out to my boy Mike!!).. one criticism I’ve heard is the occasional reliance on one source of information. I have not watched the (Dateline?) tv series you reference. If I do watch it, will it be a replica of what your episode contained?

Mr Chips

Bro, this question gets asked every other BTF episode.

Mr Chips

Casey: I forgot to ask about the When We Were Young festival. I heard that the last time they had that festival in Vegas, it was so hot that people were feeling ill and some people also complained the bands lineup times were so crammed that they barely had time to play a full set. What was your experience like? Did you have enough water? Was there any issues with the sound crossing over between stages? Thanks!

Mr Chips

TOTALLY AGREE! Sometimes I just don’t want to ask the obvious questions that I assume will be naturally explained, like “What made you cover this case? What challenges did you have, if any, with research or writing? Et cetera” But the last two BTF episodes have been so RUSHED that I feel like I have to actually sit down and ask every possible question under the sun to get some basic insight about the making of.

With the steep acceleration of public use of GenAI in the last 18 to 24 months, wanted to check if you and the team use Large Language Models such as Chatgpt, CoPilot, etc. to supplement the work you do? I can just imagine several use cases where LLM could significantly help you guys in research, summarisation, tonality, etc.

Case 300 - why do you think so many people think Keli is innocent - even best case scenario she left hospital with a child and abandoned it with a stranger, which is still a crime? Case 301 - what made you choose this case, which turns out to be more like 2 seperate cases? Also I have noticed there has been a few cases where you have been using CeCe Moore. Is this a coincidence and she is involved in basically all of the genealogy solved cases or do you research her cases as inspiration?

Victor Campos

I don't think many people believe Keli is innocent. Rather, many people don't believe she is a murderer beyond reasonable doubt. There's a big difference. She got convicted for the worst crime possible with absolutely no hard evidence whatsoever.

Mr Chips

Casefile please never sell out, keep this show unique and with the punk aesthetic which is going against what all other true crime shows do. No banter, just professionalism, well done, obscure cases. Avoid fame. Avoid big cases. This is why we love you
