WEBVTT - Introducing: Casefile Presents: The Easey Street Murders

0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:03.480
<v Speaker 1>One quiet summer night in Melbourne. Forty six years ago,

0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Susanne Armstrong and Susan Bartlett were brutally stabbed to death

0:00:07.600 --> 0:00:11.160
<v Speaker 1>in their home in Easy Street, Collingwood, as Suzanne's young toddler,

0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Land Is caught. Their killer has never been found, and

0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:19.160
<v Speaker 1>their double homicide remains one of Australia's most chilling cold cases.

0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:25.320
<v Speaker 2>It would be absolutely fair to say that I'm seventy

0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 2>five now, hardly a day goes by that I don't

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:31.600
<v Speaker 2>think about this particular murder.

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Did they know their killer or was it a random attack?

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 1>At the time, police weren't sure and warned women in

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Melbourne to lock their doors and windows, Yet they failed

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 1>to interview a number of witnesses living in the street.

0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 1>One right next door to Sue and Suzanne.

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:51.800
<v Speaker 3>She told me that she was sitting there at the

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 3>window because it was a hot night, and she said

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 3>she saw a bloke leaving out the back gate.

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Till this day, until I die, I'm convinced there were

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 2>two killers, not one.

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:07.119
<v Speaker 4>Has the investigation focused on the wrong person? How many

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:08.480
<v Speaker 4>men were really there.

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>In the Easy Street murders. We'll talk to forensic and

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:15.399
<v Speaker 1>legal experts as well as Suzanne and Susan's family and friends.

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:19.959
<v Speaker 4>She had a good sense of humor, and the kids

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:23.480
<v Speaker 4>loved her because she made them feel real.

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 5>She wasn't constrained, i should say, by the norms of

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 5>the time, which forty five years ago a single mother

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 5>was regarded very poorly by society.

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 1>And the retired detective who'll never forget walking into the

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:42.559
<v Speaker 1>little house in Easy Street.

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 2>But this guy has done something so bad, so bad

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 2>that humanity just would never even forgive him, no matter

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 2>who the reality was, what he did to those two

0:01:56.120 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 2>girls could never ever ever be forgiven or anyone.

0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 3>Binge.
