The Vanishing of Vivienne Cameron - Episode 1

The Vanishing of Vivienne Cameron - Episode 1

Author: Casefile Presents December 13, 2025 Duration: 40:40

With Casefile on a short break, we thought this would be a great time to shine a light on some of the shows that may have flown under the radar for many of you. These are shows we've put our hearts into and are really proud of. Today, we’re sharing another one of those shows — The Vanishing of Vivienne Cameron.


Back in 2018, we covered this case as Case 80: Beth Barnard. But this ten-part series goes far deeper. It’s a long-form investigation, written and hosted by Vikki Petraitis — who co-authored The Phillip Island Murder, the book that first brought this story to public attention.


The Vanishing of Vivienne Cameron revisits the events of that night in 1986, when 23-year-old Beth Barnard was found brutally murdered, and 35-year-old Vivienne Cameron—who was the prime suspect in Beth's murder—disappeared without a trace.


Across ten episodes, Vikki examines the women at the centre of the case, the evidence, the forensics, the witness accounts, and the many conflicting stories that have shaped public opinion for nearly forty years. It’s a complex, haunting mystery that continues to raise more questions than it answers. 


We’re releasing the first episode here on the Casefile feed. You can find the full ten-part series by searching for The Vanishing of Vivienne Cameron, wherever you get your podcasts.


I hope you enjoy the series.
