Hi BC, Thank you so much for this opportunity to narrate today. I really enjoy working with you and I am grateful to you for this, cheers TCR
Hello CR! Wonderful partnership once again!
The Dream team back in business - great script and details BC & great narration Crimey
Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers TCR 🎉🎉
TCR. I commented on your 100k on your post yesterday. So happy for you. Soaring onwards to great heights. 💕😘🥰❤️♥️🎉🎆🎇
This is awesome, Crime Reel!
I've read a comment on here, that these stories really helped a person who was getting clean and sober. Well, I thought that I would try it, and, it really does help. I've been clean for only 1 month, but I have to start somewhere, and, these stories DO help. Thank you so very much.
Thanks Valarie, I hope all goes well for you
I've been sober since 10/21/12. I do take Suboxone for opioid addiction and pain relief. It's been so much better. Good luck with your journey.
It helps a lot. Beside the Sylvia Likens case, dont watch that
I like that Brief Case and The Crime Reel have joined in collaboration since I'm a subscriber of both great historical crime shows.
They kind of started at a similar time. Brief Case was CR's inspiration I think, and BC gave him shout outs early on with collabs. Their style is similar, and they help each other out well.
Yes. I don’t catch them often, but when I do, nobody tries to outdo the other. I really like that they are humble
Ahh, easier times - WWI, the Spanish Influenza pandemic, the carefree rural life…
Thank you BC & TCR for helping me keep things in perspective.
Cheers.
The good old days.
I've been calling that influenza the 1918 Influenza because Spain had nothing to do with it, it was because Spain was neutral and they didn't say how many people died there,so I've been told. It started in Kansas USA when the army refused to stop 7 soldiers from leaving to fight who were sick and deemed still able to fight regardless of being sick 🤦🏻♀️
Stealing, killing displacing, disrespecting the native people, yes an easier time for whom?
Good morning, my friend. How lovely to hear Crime Reel.
Australia has some fascinating history! Thank you for sharing cases like this one.
Happy Brief Case Monday everyone!! Wishing all a healthy and positive week.
Two of my all time fav crime guys on the same channel again! 🙏 Although I kept having to remind myself it wasn't Wednesday!! 😅
Thanks Laura and yes its only Monday
@@BriefCaseOfficial 😅🤣✌️
Good morning!
Thank you for allowing Crime Reel for sharing this story. It’s actually pretty sad because he lost his wife so soon and his son wasn’t with him.
Plus he had someone living with him who somewhat had a bad reputation. I think the worst part of it all is not finding out what happened to either gentleman and never knowing why they were killed. Regardless of one’s reputation no one has the right to take another persons life and as far as Mr. Barcley, he seemed like a really nice man.
It’s funny how rumors Soulfly about a person after their death and sometimes that’s exactly what they are, rumors. We will never know exactly what happened and as his son said it’s in the past and all the parties are dead and gone. Have a wonderful week and thank you for sharing this story
Thanks London Sage, You too :)
Good morning to my 2 absolute favorite channels. It's a lovely rainy morning here in Michigan USA, after 2 months of just a trace of rain, breaking all previous drought records (including the dust bowl era) for this time. I love the stories you both tell. Bygone times, where someone would notice if your 1 good suit was missing, and being so remote you must rebury a body to go notify police (assuming to protect it from predators). Thanks for all your efforts. ❤❤
Thanks Marianne :)
Also, IT WOULD BE AMAZING if you did the story of the Bath School Disaster from here in Michigan USA. It was the worst intentional bombing in the country until Oklahoma City. I worked at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing where the injured children and adults were taken, and the nurses' stories still echo in the halls.
I will look into it again, thankyou for reminding me
I know right and that whole area is haunted as you know the rest.
Love to see our dear Crime Reel here. Thanks, Brief Case! Great story, and exceptionally lovely photos. There's something about black and white photos that brings out details you wouldn't otherwise notice -- sort of makes the setting look more real.
It would really be someone if this case was finally solved in the future but the chances of that happening are extremely remote but it was very interesting to hear about this case so thanks again for bringing it to us
Hi Sean :)
How awesome - a Brief case and Crime Reel collaboration, about Australia (where I live).
Thanks for this intriguing, fascinating mystery. Such a pity this crime was never solved.
The photos were really interesting.
It’s night here, so goodnight from Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks Karina :)
I miss your signature sign-off: " Hello everyone, and thank you so much for watching! " - It's such a cheerful bookend to a typically grim story and perfectly balances your signature opening: " Today we are going to [time period], so sit back as we go to [place name] ". - I love the way you deliver both phrases, and am always looking forward to "the next Brief Case".
Thanks :)
Thank you BC and CR for letting me enjoy my Monday morning with a good murder story. Old stories show us how hard it was to eke out a living back then. A long life was an aspiration, not necessarily an assumption ❤
Good evening to both CR and BC, you did it again and brought Belle to see the vet regarding her eyes cataract, Belle doesn't need operation as it is very costly. Despite this, she's a very healthy dog!
Hi Dee, Hope it works out OK
@@BriefCaseOfficial Everything is alright, she just needs eyedrops to remove the redness around her eyes, as well as the disgusting discharges too!
My two favorite crime enthusiasts collaborating again! What a great morning!❤
i live in Hastings Victoria, and the church is still here. Thanks for putting our still town on the map!
Thats great, It was good reading about the town while researching the video :)
Happy Monday. Looking forward to this ❤
Hope you enjoy it!
Hello BC. What a brilliant idea! You and The Crime Reel are my favorite channels! If not for the two of you i wouldn't have this (close to) addiction to YT. Thank you both for all of the stories you tell! Soo much research! Soo many details! And the photography adds so much! Fascinating stories, of real people who went through so much hardship. Thank you gentlemen!!! 💖😃👍
These times were lawlessness
Law, Cowboys and minion, vigilantes without humanity ,
The History of Australia is Cruelty devastating Cruelty 😮
Ah, two of my favorite true crime channels collaborate! Good stuff!❤
Thankyou :)
I have anxiety issues...so not seeing people for days or weeks sounds like heaven to me. I could live there very peaceably. 🐈🐎🐑🐕🐇🐿🦃
Hi BC and CR good to hear you 😊😊😊😊
Hi Samantha :)
I am already a longtime subscriber to The Crime Reel. I love the vintage crime stories. I find the lives they led hard and fascinating. My fav are between 16th to 18th centuries. Brief Case is my absolute favorite wCrime Reel right behind him. ❤🇺🇸
Good morning Brief Case.
I started listening while prepping dinner and washing a dish or two while it cooked, and ended up cleaning the whole kitchen. I've been struggling with mundane tasks , but I was so engrossed I flew right through it. Thank you both for sharing your passion and skill with us. It improved my day and I'll try listening while I clean from now on. It was a great story as always.
Thanks
Nothing like a good friend to help with chores.☺
@@thegreencat9947 ...unless they do all the work for me 😁
@@serenity6415 now that's what I'm looking for.😊
Thank you once again for an intriguing mystery. And thank you Crime Reel for your usual excellent narration. I had just texted you when I noticed your short about 99,987 when you were sadly wondering when you'd get that magic 100,000 and decided to read a few comments. And saw the congrats on reaching your goal. Excellent. Onward and upward.🎉. Stay safe, both of you.🤗🤗
Crime Reel AND Brief Case on the same video?! Awesome! I will REALLY look forward to watching this one later!
Thankyou :)
@@BriefCaseOfficial You are very welcome!
Yes! Lovely!
Great to see this collaboration i follow both your channels so I'm really looking forward to this one
Thank you!
My impression is that this was a case of Frontier Justice, since the bodies of both men were found buried and miles apart, both having been killed and most of their valuables stolen. The neighbor was present on the property a few times, around the time of estimated deaths, and remained present long enough to deal with matters there. Can't imagine someone would sit and wait for 2 days, when there was evidence of wrong-doing and absence of the parties living there about him. Neighbors relied on and looked after each other, and still do, when living and working in remote, uncivilized areas. They took care of their own and dealt with law breaking without the use of jails, courts and lawmen, much like the early settlement days in North America.
My two favorite crime guys! Thank you BC and CR for another interesting case! This one had so many twists and turns. What a lonely existence! ❤
Good day dearest BC and CR!❤❤
BC. Great research and your stories from older centuries are so appreciated. You are university on the air. Learned so much through the years you’ve been broadcasting.
Thank you so much :)
Thank you Brief Case for the upload. 😊 It was lovely to hear The Crime Reel narrating in this one today. You do make Monday mornings feel better.
Thankyou :)
@@BriefCaseOfficial You're welcome. Always a pleasure having new content to enjoy every Monday.
A fascinating case brilliantly presented. BC, you have us spoiled. Your guest presenters are nothing short of the best.
Thats so nice of you, thanks :)
Welcome, crime reel! You always do a lovely job of narrating when you visit. And on your own channel as well, of course.
BC - I love how Crime Reel's narration sounds - it sounds like a soundproof studio! Really nice & I hope this is going to be the sound quality going forward on your channel! Well done!
Studio is similar but he may use a different mic
Great collaboration between,Brief Case and Crime Reel and all the more interesting because it's from my country. This was a true story I'd not heard of before. I think after losing his wife, son going away he was lonely and wanted company and due to the war only older men were left behind. First bloke to apply for the job got it. These old towns and stations are so far from other people, 100's of klms from anywhere else
Amazing to think that the Barclay's banking/finance empire sprouted from a tiny, rural, cattle station! Great video and interesting to try to figure out if it was personal or part of another criminal act etc.
What a great collaboration between BC and TCR 😊
Another well researched story by BC. Thank you both 💛🩵💛
Glad you enjoyed it!
Crimey just hit 100K, which he's had in his sights for a while. Congrats, The Crime Reel!
Good morning BC and CR. Wonderful to see you both here.
Good morning!
Very intriguing case! Thank you B. C. Always enjoyable to be here. Great job on the video
Hope these comments stay and you can see it! Sorry later here, had a long appt! Eyes are tired
Would love to see a BC/CR tag-team video, with both of you narrating, (and perhaps commenting),about a historical case.
That would be EPIC!
My two favorite creators on one channel. Doesn't get much better than that!
Nice job crime reel....its sad this case was never solved but it's just as sad not much is left just faded memories 😞
Have been following both of your channels for a long time, well done, gents 👍🏻❤️
Awesome! Thank you!
Both of these narrators are my absolute favorites!
You guys tell interesting stories in a respectful and entertaining way.
I wouldn't want to miss any of your videos!
Thankyou so much
Brief Case and Crime Reel, it's a win win situation, thank both of you for your awesome channels!!!🙏👌👻❣️
Thank you The Crime Reel. It's a very interesting story & some of the sir names you mentioned were fascinating! I'm really not a fan of unsolved crimes though.
Thanks for the feedback, I do not do them very often
Great collaboration! ❤
Thank you!!
Proud to upvote any collaboration between two of my favorite channels. Good Job!
Thanks :)
What an interesting story…I lived next to Hastings for 4 years in 1990…never heard of this…so thank you! Also fantastic research for old photos! Love it…
Thanks for listening
Is it possible the person identified as John Banford is in fact yet another victim and he assumed that identity?
Oooooh two of my favourite channels 🥰❣️
Yay! Thank you!
I’ve been following The Crime reel ever since BC introduced us to him quite a while back. Both excellent at bringing us intriguing historical cases.
Thank you for let the crime reel narrate today I really enjoyed both of y'all's programs❤
Always a treat to hear such a well researched and written historical account that is masterfully spoken by a talented story teller.
Thanks
Lovely to hear both of my favourite YT'ers! Thanks, BC and TCR.
I absolutely love when my two favorite creators collaborate!
Can Mondays get any better? Brief Case AND Crime Reel working together! xx
Hi BC. Hi Crimey. A most interesting case indeed. Obviously, someone knew something, but never spoke about it to the authorities. Unsolved forever.
Thank you for this narration.
Thanks for watching
good video as always
Thanks
I'm from and still live in Victoria, Australia. And I had not heard of this old unsolved case until now, watching this. An incredibly interesting case, Brief Case.
Thanks for watching :)
Strange story , but then Australia is a strange place . Great collaboration guys ❤
What a treat! I already subscribe to Crime Reel. I love listening to both voices.
Living as he did in almost total solitude, few correct conclusions can be drawn. However, the saying 'know thine enemy' holds good here. Good reserch and presentation. Have a good week everyone!
Yes! Two of my favorite crime guys as well! Thank you for giving me something to look forward to for years now, in the evenings after a sometimes tough day!
Thankyou
I would like to take the time to tell you what a wonderful channel this is. I am more fascinated with centuries old crime than I am with recycled modern era crime stories that are so saturated that it becomes mundane.
Thank you brief case for letting my mornings start with such interesting cases from the past.
God bless.
Thankyou :)
Loved it!! Already been a fan on the crime reel for some time now!!! Love both ur channels!
My two favorite True Crime channels. Love these collabs ❤😊
Yay!!!! 2 of my favorites together again!!!! Love you guys!!! Thank you!
Yay! Thank you!
Aha! Two of my favorite channels working together? Fabulous! Thanks to both of you!
Thank you for the video ! Always make my Mondays better!
You are so welcome!
It would be interesting to know how long Bamford's body was in the snow. It's possible that he was killed at the same time as Barclay or these murders were unrelated to each other.
Nothin like a 2 for 1 special of 2 of my favorite channel's 🔥🔥🔥
Brief Case and Crimey! ❤ Thank you both for this collaboration of my favorite narrators.
Thanks for watching
What a wonderful surprise, two of my favorite morning channels working together. This was an interesting case.
Thankyou :)
Mr B. Case and Crimey are 2 great youtubers so it's great to see a collaboration 👏.
Thankyou Jason :)
