Hello Patreon, the team is getting ready to record another episode of Behind The Files. The cases that will be discussed are 190 The Butcher Baker, 191 Sheree Beasley, and 192 The Sodder Children. If you have any questions regarding any of these cases you can put them in the comments! Thank you.

In America, it's understood that if, during a session therapist is told something that poses a threat to yourself or others (suicide, homicide, abuse), the therapist is a mandatory reporter and must report it to the proper authorities. In Sheree's case, it seemed like a big moral dilemma for the therapist to step forward. Is there any laws around mandatory reporting in Australia? It was absolutely brilliant writing to tell the story from the therapist's point of view!

I read in the news this week that Robert Lowe, Sheree’s killer, died in prison on 4th November this year. He was also believed to have been involved with smuggling child pornography into the prison in which he was incarcerated. Does the team ever follow up on the status of any of the convicted killers, even out of curiosity, and do you feel some sense of finality when a killer dies in prison?

Just wondering what prompted you to cover Sheree Beasley. It is a very well know case in Oz and I found myself pre-empting the hosts next lines.

Hi Demi, I’m a psychologist here in Australia so I can’t specifically comment on the governing code that Margaret would have fallen under as a psychotherapist but I can confirm that mandatory reporting only recently passed for psychologists. As you say, this often leaves a grey space of ethical dilemma for practitioners who have to weigh up the likelihood of future risk in breaking confidentiality. With the change in law I do personally find this eliminates a lot of the grey that was present when approaching such situations

Re: Butcher Baker - As one of many cases that highlights the injustice and discrimination of the attitudes placed toward victims from different groups (eg. Sex workers) in the efforts in investigation, have you as a team, who have covered many different cases across place and eras, noted a pattern or differences of a particular time or place that public attitudes such as these have begun to shift? Eg. Cases in the past 5 years? Or do some countries seem to hold different attitudes during different decades?

I’m on the opposite end of your question Mark, Sheree Beasley’s case seems relatively unknown in America, but the Sodder Children case is very well known. So my question is what prompted coverage of the Sodder Children case?

Saraneth

Given as Mark mentions the Sheree Beasley case is so well know in Australia would you say it’s a cultural turning point kind of case? There are a few cases like that in the US where afterward parents just acted differently, keeping much closer tabs on their children, not letting them play unsupervised etc. For me those cases were the Michelle Door case which was local to me in Bethesda Maryland and the Adam Walsh case which made national headlines. For the Australians on the team what was it like to live through the Beasley case as a child or an adult and how did it impact the culture?

Saraneth

Was it exciting for the team to learn that Horseshoe Harriet was identified as Robin Pelkey about a month after the episode aired? It seems like every week more victims are identified by the DNA Doe Project here in the US with genetic genealogy. Are there similar efforts being made in other countries? It seemed like something Loren mentioned MPAN wanting to do back when What’s Missing was airing. Any updates from Loren?

Has this episode been released yet? I haven’t not seen it in my feed
