Troubled Waters

By: Casefile Presents
  • Summary

  • Troubled Waters is a 10-part ground-breaking podcast exploring the untold story of Louisa Ioannidis' tragic and mysterious death in 2011. Louisa Ioannidis was only 24. Beautiful, courageous, and vulnerable, yet her untimely death barely received a two-line report in a small local newspaper. Her body was discovered by passers-by in a local creek, clad in a pink dressing gown. Despite being a strong swimmer, police quickly determined there were no suspicious circumstances. Yet no one has been able to explain how or why she came to enter the creek.


    Louisa’s brother Tass has always doubted the findings and is desperate for answers.


    Over a decade after Louisa’s death, Private Investigator Julia Robson embarks on a fresh investigation and explores the full story of Louisa’s short life and the events leading up to her tragic passing. Together with Producer Clare McGrath, they uncover a gripping narrative full of intrigue. From an international kidnapping, a daring escape and a family’s desperate bid to stay together, it all unravels into a downward spiral exacerbated by a toxic relationship, all the while revealing flaws in a family violence support system that desperately needs fixing.

This is a person, not just a story.

I still can’t believe it’s taken this long for someone to take a lens to this case, and it is done so professionally, sensitively, and without bias. The fact that Louisa’s death was so quickly downplayed by police is disgusting and we should all be horrified. This is not the ‘olden days’, this is not somewhere ‘far away’, this is a young woman found dead in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, she deserved better and we as a society need to do better.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
