As an Aussie, it's no wonder this was handeled poorly by the Police. Our prime minister in 1967 straight up took a swim in the sea near Portsea, Victoria and his body has never been recovered. Our. Own. PM.

Corruption in the Australian police force would absolutely have played a role, I don’t know if non-Australians know JUST how corrupt the police and judicial system were during this time. Honestly the investigation makes the narcotic dealers taking the boat the most plausible theory. It’s horrible that the families never got the investigation and answers they deserved. If anyone tried to reopen this case today I bet they’d find every little bit of evidence conveniently missing without explanation, almost certainly so in regards to dental records on that unidentified corpse.

As an Aussie who lived in Australia at this time, the levels of corruption of the Aussie police was insane. Just look it up. Brothel madam murders, drug cartel, etc. All of it had the filthy hands of those corrupt cops in it. It's not just incompetence, it was a full-blown ring of deep corruption. Even clean cops were targeted. Great video, mate, loved the slight mispronounciations of Canberra and Mildura. 👌 Keep up the great work! Cheers!
@ripwednesdayadams
It never fails to amaze me how many people die by suicide with their hands bound or disappear under strange circumstances that are ignored by law enforcement. Truly unbelievable that this trend continues to this day across the world.
@Here_is_Waldo
That poor kid. I can't imagine how terrified and hopeless he must have felt when a group of monsters pretending to be human tied concrete to him and threw him into a river to drown. It's heartbreaking, and even worse that no one involved will ever get caught.
@Imspammedout
This is ridiculous. I contributed to this case as much as that detective and I didn't receive an official compliment
@D.Cervellero
Never call a boat “unsinkable.” We’ve had too many problems as a result.
@ShadowWesley77
You mention the EPIRB would send out a signal for 48 hours if it were ever submerged, and since you said that no signal was ever received, that gives even more credence to the claim that the investigator and coroner were corrupt. I'm inclined to believe that the ship was victim to piracy and stolen. Good work on the video, as always!
@dialaskisel5929
Ah, yes. The old "Two bullets to the back of the head, arms tied behind back, tied to a concrete cinderblock on the bottom of a river" suicide method. Truly, the most traditional method of taking one's own life.
@tankerteez13
Let me say, this was some of the cleanest editing, most engaging story telling and crisp animations I've seen in a long time, wonderful video, thank you Barley Sociable for making me care so much about something I had absolutely no knowledge of before clicking the video, incredible job please keep up the good work :)
@raesthetic257
I usually listen to the video but when you went through the coroner's conclusion on Robby's case my jaw dropped so hard I dropped what I was doing in disbelief. Did I hear that right? Suicide with chains behind his back? How did that make it into a statement... I'm floored.
@tabb5818
This documentary makes Netflix seem like a bunch of amateurs. Incredible work thank you.
@BillPenny
my man Barely never disappoints! regardless of the actual outcome and fate of the Patanela, the body and murdered teen-- it's grossly apparent these officials were only interested in covering up every aspect of the case. And the audacity to blame the victims is downright evil.
@CyhAnide
The Golden Triangle deserves a video, honestly. Or several. That entire region is both fascinating and heartbreaking.
@TrineDaely
I love this juxtaposition of how you factually talk about some fairly horrific incidents yet your narrative voice is so soothing to listen to.
@Diptera_Larvae
Barely: listen to this craziness! All Aussies in the comments section: yeah we know, every unsolved mystery in Australia is due to Police and Government corruption.
@girtisholland
This channel is a huge example of pleasure delaying. Instead of getting constant content we wait to get a dose of extremely well done content every so often.
@salmanazam9444
Man these two brothers are now exchanging interests. Slightly made videos on boats and 'the depths', and now Barely is makin 'em. Both are wonderful content creators.
@johncox2865
Not the first time corrupt officials have conspired with drug traffickers. And, how in hell did that kid kill himself by locking his own hands behind his back? That’s a flagrant, direct and obvious lie. This guy Hand has a warped soul.
