When the bodies of Doctor Gilbert Bogle and Margaret Chandler were found along the banks of Sydney’s Lane Cove River on New Year's Day 1963, scandal and suspicion erupted. The two were married - but not to each other - raising immediate questions of foul play. Yet as investigators peeled back the layers of this bizarre case, they found themselves tangled in a mystery far stranger than anyone had imagined.

I think this might be the nearest episode to me, albeit while I had a tube sticking out of my belly button.

Niki Walkey

Fascinating Case 👍🏽

Annie G

How sad and bizarre. I hope these two poor souls are resting easy and their families have found some peace.

Bob Trenwith

Just checking ... have they covered the Granny Killer or Victor Chang? They would be closer to home than this. Another interesting case from the area you might want to cover is Harry Crawford from 1917. (I won't give his original name as it might give away the story.)

Has this been covered on another podcast (though not as well as by Casefile!)? I’m only halfway through, but it seems so familiar.

My face when i thought this was about to be murder by snail

For 6 months, I worked as a truck driver delivering "frack" sand in the oilfields of the Permian Basin in West Texas in 2013, and as part of my company-issued Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), I was issued a hydrogen sulfide detector that was attached to the lapel of my uniform. We were also given training several times on the dangers of hydrogen sulfide, which is emitted from the ground out there naturally - how, at first, you'll detect the smell of rotten eggs, and then later, the smell goes away, thus tricking many people into believing that the source of the smell has gone away, too. And that's so often exactly when they die, overwhelmed by the gas. And yes, just as this episode stated, hydrogen sulfide is heavier than the rest of the air around us, and thus tends to pool and aggregate in lower glens and dips and valleys.

I hadn't heard of this story before! Thank you for covering it.

Rosie Overell

Great episode. I’d always taken the LSD theory to be the case, but the fumes from the mangroves sounds more convincing. Thanks for the detailed research as usual.

Leah Bass

Am I trippin or have I heard this story before?

Miri Dean

Great case! I have to think Butt’s theory is the right one.

Taryn-Lee Biggar

Thinking this was a televised Forensic Files/ Medical Detectives episode

Mr Chips

Who was the “monster” in this case?

Suicide Sauce

West Texas or West, Texas? One of those places exploded around that time Also you and your brief stint delivering sand sound rad as hell

Suicide Sauce

I'm gonna be honest, for a while I thought it must have been the Nashes that did it because Gil sounded *really* tiring to be around. He's a genius *and* a musician *and* an artist *and* a sex magnet *and* a swinger *and* he's rich and is always the life of the party? I'd have slipped a cone snail in his lemonade too just to get him to shut up

Mark Daniel Cross

😊👍🏼The Permian Basin, which is located, for the most part, in the region of "West Texas", the region that includes cities such as Odessa, Midland, Kermit, Notrees, Monahans, etc.! The fact that Texas is so big that it actually includes a city named West, is just something else though, isn't it?!😅

TheodoraTheExplorer

Fascinating. I'm glad I took the time to listen to this one without multitasking.

Mandy G

Wow, what a sad and bizarre case! I had never heard of this before and I kept wondering all throughout this episode if it was anything environmental. Because the murder/suicide theories just were not making any sense to me. I'm honestly surprised it took that long for someone to come to that conclusion. Great episode, guys!

r4nd0m

Oh wow this was the probably one of the better episodes of casefile I've listened to in quite some time, what a wonderful reminder of just why I love this podcast so much,excellent! I thank you very much for the content.

Brock

I’ve long thought that the Harry Crawford would be a fascinating Casefile episode too

Mr Chips

This episode was so good! It felt right out of a classic Forensic Files series

David Rogosaroff

So someone killed by mangroves qualifies as true crime?

Devil Ray Charles

One of Australia’s most infamous double homicide cold cases qualifies as true crime, smart guy

AR

oh i was actually convinced for years that the Harry Crawford case had been a whole real Casefile episode that was produced and deleted. I finally asked about it on BTF and found out I was wrong! I think you'd have to be really careful about covering it, but it's SO fascinating.

Bob Trenwith

Unsolved, not double homicide.

Bob Trenwith

I trust Casefile to cover this with the utmost tact. The problem might be in the comment section, which they might have to monitor closely. But I haven't noticed any Trump-supporter-like intolerance here.

Cassidy

This episode was so interesting! I'm scared of mangroves now! I was sitting on the edge of a river bank the other day and had to tell my partner about this case. Very sad ending to two lives and the impact it had on the families. The scandal it must have caused in the 60s! which is ridiculous, if consenting adults want to have other partners that's no ones business but those involved. I am wondering who is liable for the dangerous environmental conditions by the river? Clearly was a public safety issue. Despite not being a clear cut "crime" is still a mystery and I'd love more episodes like this!
