Thank you!

Yep he’s particularly good. 👍.

Provoking*

Definitely in my top top three channels the quality of the shows are amazing it's quite amazing you can really picture everything in the placement of details it's greatly put together

I’m from Melbourne in Australia and I’m pretty sure they got it right, it’s a tragic story for the victims but the outback can be a dangerous place, once again an excellent presentation by Briefcase

That's what's also happening in Japan. It's the reason why they have a 99% convict rate.

The Queensland police were famous for not being particularly ethical back in the day. While they were notably more corrupt by the 1980s (that would be why Detective Hanrahan's work was being questioned in the late 1980s), they were already known for extracting information by methods that wouldn't really be considered acceptable in a democracy. And, yes, Bailey's "confession" sounds like it was made up by someone who hadn't committed the crime and who hadn't read the autopsy reports particularly thoroughly.

From what I understand it hasn't changed one bit.

With a face like that he's definitely guilty of something. His photograph looks like a police training poster for recognizing typical facial features of a violent criminal.

@@resourcedragon to be fair, forensic science was not well established at that time. His family apparently couldn't provide a convincing alibi. There may have been other details of the murders that he was reluctant to share, for example it's possible his motivation was to rape the young girl and her mother. However, the possibility of police intimidating a suspect into a confession can't be ignored considering he was apparently aware his wife was also undergoing intense interrogation.

Driving interstate in aus is something else.

Is that the Domininci Affair?

@@pangorban1 thats the one. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominici_affair

Is this the couple and their 10 yr old daughter murdered around the Alps in 52?

Yeah us Brits are good at your pronunciations after all lots of them are from U.K originally

Thanks for watching Jessica :)

what are the chances he was there, spoke to them, had similar car, trailer, was armed, 'blacked out'? but didn't do it. Come on now, he's guilty as sin. Just because some author claims the detective lied doesn't make it so. There was never any serious alternative suspect

@@blacklisted4885 No there wasn't any other serious alternative, and that's why they picked a totally random man who'd driven the same road. Because closing the case was more important than 'solving' the case. The confession details don't even match the forensic evidence! That road was long, lonely, ill lit, and had no residences, or gas stations for miles in any direction. Literally anyone could have done it! But it was a case that drew public attention, so had to be solved. So he 'solved' it, and became a great detective in the public eye at the same time. Innocent people are still imprisoned or killed to this day for the same lousy reasons.

Nice guy Eddie from Reservoir Dogs : You (*) beat this (guy) long enough, he’ll tell you he started the (*)damn Chicago fire! Now that doesn’t necessarily make it (*) so!

I agree Jessica. And that length of interrogation wouldn't even be legal now. Partly because it can be used as a form of coercion. Hearing your wife sobbing having gone through days of it too, could easily cause a loving husband and father to sign a false confession. The descrepencies between the forensic evidence and the confession are so startling obvious too.

Thanks Rick, Its great to get a comment like that from someone who knows the area and the case so well :)

Hey 👋🏽 Rick. Do you think they may reopen the case?

Thankyou :)

I always shower with him. The stories are interesting and well written and the narration is clear. I can hear him even when I get water in my ears LOL! I only wish he posted more often. ❤️

Thanks for listening

Thats so cool :)

Yes, indeed, a staggering number of confessions are found to be false. John Grisham does admirable work for the US Innocence Project, as well as being a far better writer than his bestsellers might suggest.

@@ritawing1064 Lol

It's terrible the tunnel vision they get based in desperation and wanting to be a hero

Thanks Gillian, much appreciated!

I heard about this when I was very young. I was 6 in 1957. I don't remember the details obviously but dad talked about it.

Thankyou, I appreciate that

I don't know if the actual murder scene matches it but it certainly seems like it would require two people.

Glad you liked them, it does take a long time to compile the photos

Thankyou

So many books and stories get that wrong!

Well they assume you don't know the law, like most of them don't 🙄

So many people get scared of the police it’s ridiculous. All you need to say is I want a lawyer and that’s the end of it.

You are so welcome

Thanks for watching :)

Yes, that evidence should never have given a conviction, let alone the death penalty!

He did it

@@chiapets2594 How do you know?

I also am not convicted that he should have been convinced. 🤣🤣 see what I did there?

@Ekaterina Kozhevnikova 🤣🤣🤣 love it!!

Morning :)

So who was the murderer then?

Cannot be that bad, surely

Also if someone has been shot surely the human instinct is to run away, not towards the gunman.

@@ninagill1407 That was my other thought 🤔

@@flavia8504 Also, no need to go back shoot the dogs the next day. Everyone would be shot at the same time. Wrong shoe size, no gun, wife heard no shots and can't drive. Poor guy, they should've investigated a bit more. Tried convicted and killed in less than 6 months 🙄

And the autopsies said that they'd been hit with the rifle butt before being shot, so "shot while running towards him" just doesn't cut the mustard.

The autopsy said they were shot in the back because Baily lied.

Much appreciated

Wow, thank you!

Thank you! You too!

@@BriefCaseOfficial Thanks B.C. You're always welcome

Thanks Jody

Thanks Eshie, I will look into that one

Thankyou :)

I think it may not be as simple as that. A lot of things don't add up - such as how the victims were found and the direction the bullets entered their bodies as opposed to his testimony. It would be good if they reopened the case.

Glad you enjoy it!

Thankyou :)

Haven't they! I live in Adelaide (well - a country area around Adelaide). The buildings being built are truly awful!

Cost money 💸💲 to replace and upgrade existing buildings, so rather than do that, knock it down and build more modern and appealing structures to keep up with the times.

@@jamesfracasse8178 yes - wish they'd done that more in Europe! Then we wouldn't have any of those horrible ancient buildings to look at 🤦‍♀️

@@jamesfracasse8178 Brutalist glass boxes aren't "appealing".

Depending on how old each of the four remaining people (who have to live with the guilt); were at the time of the crime during the 50's in Australia, I'd have to hazard a guess the adults are either dead or very old and the kid is now senior citizen perhaps?

The detective lied and Bailey was interrogated for days. None of it is valid, it can't be used to make inferences. It's not valid

@@no_peace: The "confession" appears to have been coerced but I'm with you on the question of Bailey's IQ and general mental competence. If his IQ were low or he had some other mental issues he would be exactly the sort of person who could be made to make a false confession.

I agree he was of low IQ with evil tendencies. I also think his wife knew more alot more.

I also wonder if his IQ had been tested. That said... Doesn't at all seem like it was a valid confession to begin with. He was trying to come up with a scenario that would please the detectives and get them to stop questioning him. His car didn't even match the suspected car, it just happened to be black. If he was in such dire financial straights as described, he would have taken the jewelry at the least if he didn't want to look for the money. Why would he throw away the $25 he took from Thomas? Was there any evidence that Thomas even had that $25 to begin with? Why bother trying to hide the bodies? Why hit them in the head multiple times before shooting them? Why was his unregistered rifle never tested against the "evidence"? They had him for days, were pressuring him for answers and feeding him bits of information on the crime. He used that information to try and piece together some semblance of a story. That story would be corrected and more information given, meaning the story was effectively fleshed out by detectives. It was a big case and they had pressure to close it. None of the confession lines up nor do the circumstances that led to it.

@puwussssyyyy Exactly right. A classic example of interrogators leading the suspect down the path towards a legit sounding confession, tossing him bits of information that he is otherwise ignorant of. He is thinking that they are helping him and will be lenient if he cooperates. They know that his below average intelligence makes him vulnerable to this sort of manipulation, guilt or innocence not withstanding. It is a completely underhanded tactic.

Glad you enjoyed it

Hello there!

Our stupid government is refusing to do so.... So much for justice!

I know they're supposed to keep the evidence indefinitely but frankly, the police lose (and also "lose") a lot of evidence. Whether or not there would be any usable DNA evidence around is another question. And there is also the question of whether or not DNA would answer any questions. Unless you could find DNA that didn't belong either to the victims or to Bailey, DNA isn't going to tell you a lot.

Thanks

I agree, Rebecca. This is a triple tragedy - three people murdered, a possibly innocent man unjustly convicted and hanged, and the true killer(s) never brought to justice.
