The Witness Who Buried Corpses Under His Ground

The witness who buried bodies under his floor: The forensic investigation of John Reginald Christie March 1953. A tenant discovers a hidden door behind wallpaper in the kitchen of 10 Rillington Place. Inside: three bodies wrapped in sheets. The horror is that the killer had already testified in court years earlier, convincing the jury to convict an innocent man, and that innocent man was hanged. In this episode, we explore how John Christie managed to transform his home into a grave while the justice system decorated him as a respectable citizen. We analyze the trial of Timothy Evans in 1950, where Christie was a key witness; the bodies under the living room floor discovered decades later; and the contradictions that no one saw coming: a serial killer with a criminal record acting as a police officer during the war. The central question remains: how could the system trust more in the social facade of a mythomaniac than in the inconsistencies of his own accusation?
