Casefile Presents
About this episode

Content warning: This episode contains discussions of death


In 2011, a casual walk along a suburban creek turns into a chilling discovery when a couple comes across the lifeless body of a female dressed in a pink dressing gown along the edge of the creek. Despite initial assurances from the police, there were no suspicious circumstances, and something felt off. Now, over a decade later, Private Investigator Julia Robson steps in to take on a fresh investigation – but first, the female must be identified.
