Case 340: Elisabeth Membrey

Case 340: Elisabeth Membrey

Author: Casefile Presents May 30, 2026 Duration: 1:34:17

*** Content warning: Sexual assault ***

When 22-year-old aspiring journalist Elisabeth Membrey failed to answer her phone on December 7 1994, her loved ones knew something was wrong. A visit to her Ringwood East unit confirmed their suspicions when blood stains were found on the carpet, but Elisabeth herself was nowhere to be seen. 


With Elisabeth’s disappearance declared to be a homicide, her parents, Roger and Joy Membrey, refused to give up the search for answers. But with one twist after another, they could never have anticipated the journey that lay ahead.
