Ever imagined what it would be like to fake your own death and start all over again? You wouldn't be the first. There's a name for it: Pseudocide. Pseudocide is also the name of a new Spotify exclusive from Casefile Presents. In this series, nothing is quite as it seems. Shadowy Russian operatives threaten the life of a dissident, a blood-soaked car is found abandoned at curbside, and a bomb explodes in a quiet Sydney suburb. Prankster clashes with a conspiracy theorist, Alex Jones, a...

Episode 10: Vivienne Cameron vanishes on the night Beth Barnard is killed. The case isn’t talked about openly. Talking is how we process trauma, but in the aftermath, the murder is not a subject open to discussion. Whispers and theories are exchanged behind closed doors. Soon, the official investigation is over and both cases have gone to inquest and people go on with their lives. The talking stills and Vivienne vanishes metaphorically as well as physically. When the book on the case comes...

The crime scene examiners work on three locations: Beth’s house, the Cameron house, and the Land Cruiser. Blood is found at the scene of the murder. Police forensic experts also find blood at the Cameron house – not surprising considering Fergus had presented the previous evening with injuries that required stitches. But there’s a problem. No blood is...

She is the one who brings the casserole and bottle of wine when friends are feeling down. She is one who takes horse riding lessons so she can fit in better on the farm. She is the one who works tirelessly at the Community House to support other Island women. The quiet one. The awkward one. How can...

Episode 7: When the Camerons’ Land Cruiser is found near the Phillip Island bridge, the possibility has to be considered that Vivienne jumped to her death. The vehicle is closer to a bus stop than the bridge so the police also have to consider the possibility that Vivienne has fled the Island by some other means. Police divers spend days searching under the bridge, confident that if Vivienne jumped, they would find some trace of her – glasses, a scarf, a boot. But they find nothing. A search...

Episode 8: Once the evidence is analysed, detectives use it to piece together the story. The big question is: does it match the accounts? Piece by piece, each item of evidence is examined. Even though in 1986, when DNA is not in the tool kit of investigators, scientists easily differentiate between those who bled on the night of the murder. Naturally, they find Beth’s blood at the scene of her murder. Police also find three drops of blood on the path outside Beth’s back door which is A-type...
