Casefile Revisited: Mr Cruel

About this episode

*** Content Warning: Child sexual abuse, child abduction, murder of a child *** In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Melbourne was gripped by fear when a masked assailant began breaking into suburban family homes and abducting young children. The attacks were particularly callous, earning the assailant the moniker of ‘Mr Cruel’. 10-year-old Sharon Wills, 13-year-old Nicola Lynas and an unnamed 11-year-old girl were amongst the survivors of Mr Cruel’. Mr Cruel also became a prime suspect in the abduction and murder of 13-year-old Karmein Chan. But who exactly was the man behind the mask? Casefile Revisited features newly re-recorded versions of classic episodes, revisiting the stories with enhanced production, fresh narration, and updated research where possible. The Mr Cruel episode was originally released in January 2017. --- Narration – Anonymous Host Research & writing – Anonymous Host and Victoria Dieffenbacher Additional writing & editing – Erin Munro Production & music – Mike Migas Audio editing – Anthony Telfer Sign up for Casefile Premium: • Apple Premium • Spotify Premium • Patreon For all credits and sources, please visit https://casefilepodcast.com/casefil
