The House Revealed Shocking Secrets
Three years following the Timothy Evans case, John Christie vacated his flat. His criminal record had been exposed during the trial, leading to his job loss and subsequent struggles to secure employment. Resorting to fraudulent subletting of his flat, he eventually disappeared.
A new tenant moved in and embarked on renovations. What began as an effort to strip wallpaper in the kitchen led to a shocking discovery—a closet containing the lifeless bodies of three women: Kathleen Maloney, Rita Nelson, and Hectorina Maclennan. This horrifying find prompted a more extensive search of the residence, revealing the body of John Christie's wife, Ethel, buried beneath the floorboards. Two more women, named Ruth Fuerst and Muriel Eady, were discovered in shallow graves in the backyard. Each victim had been wrapped similarly to Beryl and Geraldine.
