@@laurastanton7812 Yes, really its a sign of how lucky we are now, back then you had no food banks or charity shops so giving birth to a child you could not feed or clothe was irresponsible, birth control was very minimal also most religions did not allow birth control

This case is just mind blowing to me at how much he was able to hide within the walls, floors and yards of his residence. Like how did the decomposition not just utterly give away his horrible acts? As well as all the missing persons going on around Christie's person?
I assume it's a simple case of people NOT wanting to get involved.......I don't know the area where he lived but if it was rural or semi rural where many small animals die, it might be that too.
It was a very run down and derelict part of London, I grew up quite close to Rillington Place, and the drains and sewers used to overflow and smell, most toilets were outside and added to the aroma. Most of the places were knocked down in the 60's and 70's. Number 10 was at the end of the road, and had a high brick wall next to it which blocked that end of the road off. My dad used to say hello to John Christie in the newsagents nearby every evening when they both got the evening paper.
@@janetpendlebury6808 Wow Janet being so near to where they lived and then that address becoming notorious in British crime history, must have haunted your family, for years.
All those victims😞 Little Geraldine as well..Timothy Evans never got a decent trial and today would have been called learning disabled. He certainly would have had a better counsel. Christie was a dreadful man who hoodwinked everyone. This is one of the most famous cases in the UK. Madame Tussauds used to have a mock layout of his kitchen, with all the identified places he hid his victims' bodies. As a child going there, that scene was terrifying. It has always stayed with me.
Excellent video! Absolutely brilliant! I have seen movies and documentaries on this gruesome case. It is awful how this monster got away with it for so long. My heart goes out to those poor women for what they suffered and endured before their deaths and after. I really appreciate your thorough account of this horrific crime and thank you for your detailed endeavours.
Lots of crimes could be prevented,but that requires investment in mental services,a huge change society's attitude and training the police/social services de escalate situations.
Props to you.. I’ve heard this story at least 4-5 times.. and it wasn’t until 1/2 way I realized who you were talking about.. good job finding better background info
@@wadewilson8011 so?.. I don’t WATCH 95% of the content here, it plays in my headphones while I’m doing something productive.. & sometimes noise drowns out a few words.. the point of the comment is that this telling of the story was COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from everyone else’s version and therefore it was better researched and interesting. And I may very well have heard the name at the time, but understand that the creator deserves the credit for the effort to produce something that’s not just another copy of every other copy like far too many channels do. To the point of perpetuating errors.
One you got into this, I realized I had seen a film a few years ago (with John Hurt and Richard Attenborough) about this killer. It's very good if you want to be truly disturbed. Attenborough's depiction of the killer is excellent.
I own a rather unique document written by Christie in January of 1953. Without detailing what it is, or how I came about it, it does give some indication as to how little consideration Christie had for anyone other than himself. Let no one be in any doubt as to the psychopathic and narcissistic nature of this individual.
I'm sure most of you know after Christie left 'Rillington Place' others occupied his ground floor flat. In 1953 a Mr.King moved into the ground floor flat, but he had many restless nights, often he was disturbed and woken from his sleep, Mr.King said he would wake to find an oppressive energy of a woman in his room, he finally decided to buy insence in an attempt to cleanse 'Rillington Place'.
@@Rage_Harder_Then_Relax not sure if it worked as the article I read didn't say if it had or not, it did say 'he TRIED to cleanse number 10, so maybe he wasn't successful. I have read part of the new build at the time (70's) was built partly on Christie's back garden and people living there have experienced electrics going wrong all the time etc. and remember Attenborough actually went in Christie's old flat to stand by his bay window and in the final film you see Attenborough standing at the window of number 10 as the London police inspect the manhole outside and Attenborough said he felt dirty and unclean after being in there. It isn't clear how much of number 10 Attenborough looked around, but he certainly had to go into Christie's flat to film that scene.
@@Rage_Harder_Then_Relax I'd wager it did absolutely nothing. Incense isn't even an ACTUAL "anti-parapsychology" method, rather you'd want blessings, ginger, salt, iron or blessings from a "hedge-wizard" (aka a shaman)
This narration is absolutely brilliant! I have ready seen the film and documentaries about this case yet I almost felt I was hearing it for the first time, due to the indepth research and detailed account. Thank you so much for your determined and caring account of Christies victims.
How did his peers know he had ED and bully him about it? That doesn't seem like something that becomes public knowledge. Especially back in those days when everything was so closeted.
When we were kids we used to love scaring ourselves senseless by peeking through the cracks in the vault's in the cemetery. We never went on to become sickos like him.
i got locked inside one when i was ten, halloween dare gone very wrong after trick or treating, my friends dared me and they did not know the door would lock, i got locked into the childrens vault as well, i on accident knocked one of the coffins down of a little boy, it opened and i spent a hour screaming while staring at the skeletal remains of the little boy in the corner, i screamed so loud someone in the neighborhood came and got me out, my friends had ran to get my family to get me out with the exception of my friend james, both of us had seen the skeleton and both of us had screamed so loud
Really enjoyed your coverage of this story. What a creepy man!! Have read book & seen film,but you investigation still gave me new information! That’s what I love about you, you never do things by half✊♥️
I have read Ludovic Kennedy's book on this case and watched several documentaries. The bodies of both Beryl and Geraldine were hidden in the washouse, but no mention was ever made of a 16 week old foetus also being found. The reason that there was no smell coming from the bodies was due to the fact that at the time of the murder the weather was extremely cold which helped delay decomposition.
I have known about this case for many years and saw the film "10 Rillington Place" back in 1971. My parents were still living in London at that time and used to tell me of their horror at seeing pictures of 10 Rillington Place in the newspapers. This case is particularly gruesome and the way it was handled by the police and our justice system which led to the hanging of an innocent man was a scandal. Ludovic Kennedy wrote a book on this case many years ago which is well worth reading.
This was so well done! I've watched many, many doco,s on this subject and yours is without a doubt the best I've seen! Well spoken (beautiful accent by the way), so full of information I hadn't known and I've heard of this from my parents in UK. The pictures were great, and I learned more than any other! You're exceptional young lady 👍👵🇦🇺
I remembered a random fact from this case- just before Christie was about to be hanged he complained that his nose itched. The executioner, Albert Pierrepoint leaned in and said “It won’t bother you for long.”
It might be because it’s a cultural tradition in Ireland to have a wake before the funeral where the body is kept in the house (usually in the bedroom) for a day or two before the funeral. The tradition is to let people view and pray over the body and especially in rural areas; it’s common to have a house filled with people day and night to pay respects and support the family. Even kids are welcome at the wakes and so it seems unusual to me that people would be so affected by it. Dennis Nielsen reported the same feelings but to me; it just seems like an easy excuse. Because tbh if it wasn’t; then half of rural Ireland must be secret serial killers.
Are you trying to claim Ireland isn’t full of serial killing maniacs? I don’t believe you! 😂 Okay, jokes aside - something playing a role in later behavior doesn’t mean it was the ONLY factor! Genetics, Epigenetics, brain development, and other factors play a role as well - even a head injury can in some cases be enough to cause significant changes in behavior!
From the States so I didn't know about this hortible man. I'm sure doctors and writers could write volumes about why he went this way (and probably have!)but many have endured worse and done great things because of it instead of killing innocents, especially the baby and her father. I truly wonder how people like this sleep at night! A very well done story as always!
Well, after listening to maaany cases, I came to the conclusion that a person is BORN evil, and the circumstances in their lives unleash that darkness inside. I've known people who had a hellish childhood (neglic, rape and abuse you name it) and they were still good people, of course they had issues, but never harmed anyone because of them.
@@veronicarodriguez9917 I sometimes wonder that myself. Both of my parents were ultimately crushed as adults because of heinous problems in their youths. Both died from substance abuse but neither tried to openly hurt anybody. My father, in fact , became an aeronautical engineer because of WWII and made several fortunes because of it trying to keep his country safe but he couldn't handle that I had MS so I am penniless. He died with very little left and it was given to his third wife who sold all the rights. I tried to save both but to no avail. I'm now older than my Mom at her death and approaching my father's age at his but I have my mother's belief in laughter and my father's disciplines that I will master my own course, not a disease! Maybe they did do something right; we shall see.
@@veronicarodriguez9917 oh dear, cut that short! I also knew my best friend in chilhood's father, a man I was very fond of and liked but my insides told me that something wasn't quite right. We got separated when I went to boarding school and lost touch. Two years later, her father was arrested for trying to have her mother killed! It changed my friend and I both forever even though we never spoke again after my condolence call. She has not married to this day and lives in virtual solitude at the age of 63. I have learned to trust no one, not even those you truly like. I wish humans weren't predators by nature. We sometimes eat up our own without eating a bite. There is evil in the world.
I’d never heard this series of event from Reg’s start. It was always presented from Tim’s. It took a few minutes to realize which case it was. Great work!
Just a heads up. Albert Pierrepoint was born in Yorkshire, son of Henry Pierrepont. Henry and his brother Thomas, born in Nottinghamshire, were also executioners. There is actually a place in Nottingham called Pierrepont and the National Watersports Centre is there now. Pierrepont is pronounced: Pier-point (pee-er-point). I liked the french, but the family is English.
@@bostonsandatot4948 With 'just' before, it means "being helpful" or "letting you know" or to stop you making a mistake again. Not a particular warning.
What a horrible story…on so many levels. The police, lawyers, defense attorney, judge, all who refused to investigate Timothy’s story are greatly to blame for Timothy’s death. As an aside, I am always surprised at how folks back then looked so much older than their actual age.
Very good telling of the story. In 6th grade I came home with a library book about Christie, the case & trial. My parents were horrified & took it away. But later gave it back to me. They decided it was better for me to know about the evils & dangers of the world vs being ignorant & careless. Smart decision because the criminal analysis details probably saved my life a few times, esp during my younger adult years. Albeit gruesome & sad to read, re the victims. But today I would never suggest kids be exposed to such horrible adult situations & crimes, of course. There are better ways of teaching safety. Things were just different back in the 70s. More direct & harsh, maybe.
When I was a little girl, in the 80's, I would tell my parents that I was going to the library., but instead I'd go to this tiny, dusty old pawn shop. Way in the back, they had a tiny room FULL of paperback novels and true crime books. I would spend hours there, reading horror novels, Ann Rule, Jack Olsen and other crime writers. I think I was ten!
@@widowrumstrypze9705 Totally relate :) Our local library was very small but very well stocked with a great variety of books to read. They also had 2-3 paperback carousels of grown-up novels, science fiction/horror & true crime/detective stories that you could take home on the honor system - no card stamp check-out required. So, being a curious young teen, I was taking books no kid should be reading. But doing so elevated my comprehension & writing skills to college level by 8th grade. So, thankfully, there were some positives in the advanced reading. Because my other school subject results were horrendously fail-level bad, lol.
Rillington Place was knocked down in the early 1970's. Low-level council flats St Andrew's Square was built over it, not Bartels Road, which is opposite. I installed a phone line in one of the flats in the early 2000's, and the guy living there told me there's always tourists and sight-seers wandering around and taking pictures. Some even dig up the grass verge in the centre of the flats trying to find bones!
According to Ludovic Kennedy's book Christie, although a loner, became friendly with a group of youngsters. Apparently it was a popular tradition amongst these people to visit a lonely place called "The Monkey Run" where they would hug, kiss and then have sex. It seems a bit strange during that time, but that is apparently what happened. The girl with whom Christie was paired was sexually experienced beyond her years. When she realised that Christie was unable to perform she made fun of him and afterwards told all the others who treated it as a huge joke and gave Christie those terrible names.
The podcast Murder Mile did an incredible, detailed, multi-part series on these murders that is worth a listen, if you're interested in hearing more about them .
Another monster aided by the cops. Wow. That's surprising.🙄 This was extremely thorough! In all the docs I have seen or heard I've never had such detail. Very well done. Yes RIP all. Shameful on so many levels. Thank you DC🙏💔🦌
He *was* a cop, too, which is *also* an all-too-common theme in these cases. Other examples include Mikhail Popkov, the Golden State Killer (J. J. DeAngelo), and Le Grêlé (Françiois Vérove). All serial killers. All employed as policemen.
Diligent, detailed and pellucid. Respectful of victims yet cool and logical. And the narrative voice is lovely & lilting. A few points if I may: (1) never nag a serial killer and never, ever ridicule his sexual performance. Stay safe out there. (2) 128 IQ v 70 IQ. 70 is going to hang. (3) I imagine two cops: who was the first victim? Furst. Right the first victim? Furst. No, the name of the first victim. Furst was first. Of course the first was the first but what was her name!
Christie's IQ was 128 when he was only 11 years old which means it was even higher later when he was an adult. For me he is one of the most boring serial killers in spite of high IQ.
@@mirianakovachevic748 Very good comment. Not that Hollywood would ever mislead us, but it tends to show us high achieving monsters like Hannibal Lector, an MD, a connoisseur of wine and opera and art. The next second he's biting your nose off. Then back to opera. No. Serial killers tend to be low achievers like Christie. Dennis Radar was the Napoleon of serial killers because he clung to a job as a dog catcher for 10 years. Their identity is submerged in their dark obsessions. Say Christie had an adult IQ in the 140s. He obtained a negative IRR on that asset in terms of worldly position because he was expending all his energy killing victims and reliving the experience and opening up his special box of souvenirs. And he was otherwise off in less ghastly ways. No. Hannibal Lector wouldn't have been a doctor - for one thing, they are rather anti-cannibal in reputable medical schools. Dahmer is the real life counterpart, much less erudite and charming. Christie was a nobody apart from his squalid, vicious, pointless crimes. You were much more concise, by the way.
@@1rjbrjb You noticed well: they are all underachievers. Shows how strong and important is sexual drive that could overshadow everything else in these individual's lives. D.Rader with his OCD and crossdressing while maintaining serious facade is hilarious. Dahmer had this inner conflict, he reached for help but in vain. Both are interesting personalities.
@@mirianakovachevic748 very well put. I thought of Christie's impressive IQ and it occurred to me that the Nobel laureate Richard Feynman had an adult IQ that tested at 125. Many questioned this number, but Feynman didn't (IQ doesn't measure everything that is important). Feynman loved his wife and Letters Live has a heart-rending letter he wrote to her after she died that stayed in his desk drawer for 40 years. The point is he achieved an amazing return on this 125 IQ while Christie, his nominal superior, met the hangman. You're right that the debilitating factor is sexual deviance or obsession. If you're not American, excuse me for bringing this up but it reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where George has no sex for three weeks, becomes an expert in the biomechanics of baseball, and teaches himself Portugese.
Also, thx to this installment, I know how to describe a creepy guy to my friends: he definitely has a box of pubic hairs hidden in his cellar. This was one of the best true crime videos ever. Thank you again.
This story haunted me for a long time after watching a bbc tv programme on it years ago; ironically despite my interest in true crime, I’d never heard of the story until then, & I ended up going down a rabbit hole of newspaper articles, books, & documentaries here on RUclips. As absolutely horrific as all of the crimes were.. Timothy, Beryl & baby Geraldine’s really got to me. It was so common for that era too for young parents to find themselves pregnant & not being able to afford another mouth to feed. Contraceptives weren’t freely available, & understanding how our bodies work just wasn’t common place back then like it is today; they had absolutely no idea about what ovulation etc was. Abortion was still illegal, & many women would find themselves in dangerous predicaments to try & save their living children / themselves / husbands (keeping a roof over their head, food in their bellies etc) by going down horrible dark alleys & paying out of pocket for back street dirty abortions, or even trying to do it themselves - they’d be so frightened, & a good number of women just wouldn’t survive. Timothy, from what I read, was so mild & meek, but absolutely worshipped the ground Beryl walked on. He would’ve done anything for her & his daughter. He had some type of mild learning disability, but it didn’t hold him back from being a grafter & working hard to put food on the table. He was easily manipulated though & felt horribly shocked & frightened when confronted with Beryl’s death, & because of how clever Christie was, he knew exactly what to say to turn the guilt & blame onto Tim’s shoulders, which is why he helped Christie with Beryl’s body - Christie would’ve made him feel like it was his fault, that he should’ve stopped her, that he should’ve been present etc. My heart just broke thinking how frightened Tim would’ve been during his time in jail & throughout the court proceedings; I can’t even begin to imagine how weary & scared he was to make that false confession, we all know how terrifyingly determined police can be when in a room alone with them if they want a crime solved & they’ve already pinned you as guilty. The only comfort I got was knowing he hopefully kept thinking he’d soon be back with Beryl & Geraldine. I don’t use this word often or lightly.. but Christie was genuinely evil to the core.
Wow, your comment broke my heart. I can't imagine what that man was dealing with because of his evil neighbor. Rest in peace, all of the victims. And thanks for your explanation.
I've been to several funerals and no way was I fascinated by the 'corpse'. Dude was born a psychopath WHICH SHLD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT WAY EARLIER to prevent all this sadness! She does great work. Great documentary as usual. Thx
Knowing what life was like in the times, finding all those bodies must have been harrowing for all involved. It makes me shudder to think about. I would like to thank the orator for her final words, indeed, "may they all rest in peace;,
Talk about inept police!!!!! That poor man. It's very little consolation that this evil demon was finally caught because so many more innocent people died because of him. And while the police made restitution's it doesn't bring him back. You do very good work, but this one is very distributing to say the least, must be hard to do these videos sometimes.
I saw the film sad about timmy Evans he bought his daughter a Teddy bear and cristy had already killed her I think the police believed one of there own wouldn't do murder but it can be anyone a miss carriage of justice rest in peace timmy evans
Wonder how you go about compensating someone for putting a young man with leaning difficulties to death? Seems their is no amount of money could possibly compensate for this, really sad he went to the gallows knowing what Christie was, but nobody believed him.
A case from my hometown that is lesser known is the disappearance of 12 year old Ann Gotlib (Russian immigrant) in Louisville Ky in the 80’s. Would LOVE for you to look into it ❤️❤️
Poor Timothy. He totally lost everyone and everyone. Even his life. The best reason to abolish the death penalty once and for all. If one innocent person is executed, it is murder by court, and nothing less. Timothy would have eventually been proven innocent.
It was a thigh bone in the garden they missed seeing, not a skull, they probably thought it was a dogs bone or something, but they should have found it.
Hmmm..I'm a little confused 🤔 why would he be teased about ED at a young age unless he went around telling everyone or gf told everyone about that problem. I honestly didn't know that it could happen that young and if he wasn't very young then I don't understand how ppl knew. ✌️
The teasing started when he was in the military, and young military men spend a lot of time around each other. They shower together, dress and undress, and might as well put it out there, visit prostitutes together while on deployment and around military bases. The fact that he never had morning wood alone probably would have been obvious. Men compare peen sizes too. It's locker room stuff.
my late Grandfather lived around the corner from 10 Rillington place where christie lived at the time. I remember him telling me all about his sickening crimes and he was shocked when he had read about what he done in a newspaper. My Grandfather said christie looked like a strange individual he would on occasions pass him in the street but never thought he could of been such a disgusting evil man.
I’m wondering what you think of Beryl’s brother Peter Thorley’s book about the Rillington Place murders? He has spent decades investigating and is convinced Tim Evans was guilty of killing his sister and niece. Christie never confessed to killing Geraldine Evans nor is there an explanation for why he killed the child as well.
I am convinced that Evans did murder his wife Beryl but not his baby daughter Geraldine. He had a fiery temper, and he and his wife used to quarrel violently, nothing was more likely that he would one day murder his wife in a rage and that's exactly what happened. Christie was away from Rillington place for one hour on the day Beryl was murdered. He went to attend a doctors appointment in the evening. This he WOULDN'T have done if it's true that he had murdered Beryl that same afternoon.
Personally I think Christie murdered Beryl and the baby .... in his horrific mind set the baby had to go as she was a "Loose End " plus who else was it ? One killer in a house is strange but 2 ? ..
@@olawaleesan4672 Christie used to go to work, or sit and chat to his wife in the evenings after murdering people, of course he could keep a drs appt. Christie performed an abortion on Beryl, this was either a ruse, or he did it and she died. (Police believed that Christie and his wife might have been providing this service for other girls in exchange for money.) He knew that admitting to murdering an innocent baby (Geraldine) would be looked on as far worse than prostitutes, so would not admit to that. The odds against 2 murderers living in the same house must be huge, and they were wrapped similarly to the girls found in the cupboard inside the house.
The brother was only 13 when it all happened, and said he used to like talking to, and playing cards with Christie, who he called 'uncle Reg'! He says in his book about Christie killing Beryl ''He wouldn’t have done that' - yet Christie had already killed several women by that time, so I dont really think much of his book.
This story became a movie called 10 Rillington Place. John Hurt played the husband of the woman who was supposed to be getting an abortion. Richard Attenborough played Christie.
What shocks me about this case is how Reg was supposedly very smart but so unbelievably dumb about how he hid the bodies. I get getting lazy towards the end, look at Bundy quotes, but he was always not great at it. Maybe I'm just missing something but wow. What a story.
I think it's ludicrous how badly-chosen some of the stock footage used in true crime channels is. For example, instead of using video of modern soldiers to illustrate his experience in the army, why not just use actual footage of soldiers in the First World War? That would be so much obviously better in every way.
Have just watched with great interest. Such a thorough, detailed account Of a monster/serial killer that Reginald Christie truly was, Rip to all of his victims especially poor little Geraldine,🙏. and l must congratulate you on a job so well done....................
I didn't know he was born in West Yorkshire where I'm from. I love how you narrate these stories huni and Love your content. Keep up the great work. xx
I'm loving this channel, but i'm a tad confused with this one. You say that they (police doctors) never took a semen sample and you couldn't understand why. Errr in 1953 it would have not have been thought of to take a sample, as there was no way of forensicating that kind of "evidence". DNA matched evidential prosecutions did not happen in the UK until 1984.
It wasn’t always the case but lots of law enforcement agencies made it protocol to take samples of possible bodily fluids long before DNA and blood typing. Just on account of being thorough and hoping that science would continue to advance. They couldn’t always identify stains as bodily fluids either. In just the past few years, lots of cases from the late 1950s and 1960s have been solved through DNA work on old samples. So I wouldn’t say it’s surprising they didn’t collect a sample, but maybe just a tad bit out of the ordinary!
o her just up and murderd Beryl? every other account says he just botched the operation because he didnt really know what he was doing and then just pinned it on her husband. i didnt know he planned and executed her. weirdly that makes the death of the husband slightly less tragic? like if it was an accident then it was post mortem that the false accusations came about but that man was just as much a victim as the rest.
Timothy Evans had an extremely low IQ and was an easy target for Christie. He believed the lies Christie told him about being able to abort Beryl's unwanted child. In reality Christie did not attempt to carry out an abortion. This was just an excuse to get Beryl into his flat to murder her and then have intercourse with the body. Christie was a necrophile. Absolutely horrible.
Christie was obviously spectacularly disturbed, but the background highlights to me how abusive backgrounds, bent religiously motivated toxic attitudes towards sex and deeply traumatic experiences can shape people who may be vulnerable to begin with to become so profoundly messed up that they end up taking out the twisted obsessions in their tortured minds on other people.
Can I just say that when it’s an historic story, it would be more fitting to use historical pictures or film that better fits in with the time period. For example Reg joining the army in the early 1900’s but showing modern footage of soldiers kinda throws you off. Surely there’s more appropriate stock film or photos available?
The decision to use modern day depictions, both video and stills, was unfortunate. It’s akin to watching something with the wrong soundtrack. If nothing but stills from the period were available, that would’ve been better than scenes with people in jeans, and wearing or operating hi-tech devices of current times.
I seen a movie about this a few years ago NOW and it's a very weird movie especially the part when that innocent individual gets hunged for ONE of CHRISTIES MURDER
What the hell is wrong with people in this comment section? Not one of you mentioned the wrongful execution of Timothy. What a disgusting example of the use of state sanctioned murder. Glad that most countries in the west have now ended such a barbaric practice. One wrongful execution is an unacceptable outcome even if 99% of those who were actually guilty of terrible crimes were given lighter sentences in the long run (which we all know is actually life imprisonment). Even if the person was a bad person, wrongful execution is an appalling act of state justice. It's easy to be hateful of those who commit atrocities onto others. At the expense of putting one innocent person of such a crime is unforgivable and should be held against a society who believe capital punishment is an acceptable punishment. No way to live in supposedly progressive societies.
21.38 is not how law enforcement actually roll a person's fingerprints. 12 years ago i got arrested a few times and they do not roll the fingers forward; only side-to-side.
Excellent presentation, so too was the movie with Richard Attenborough and John Hurt, they were both fantastic in it, I feel very sad for Timothy Evans and his baby daughter, Christie was an absolute nutter, how he could do what he did just beggars belief, thanks for your work and the research undertaken
Nope. Ask two questions - why was Blair's top spin doctor immediately appointed to the investigation which was a simple missing child case - and remains as their PR advisor ever since. Secondly why were the parents never interviewed despite being present at the alleged crime scene. This is standard police procedure and is a condition upon which any further investigation may be made - no interviews allowed. These are documented facts. This was a case of child neglect. This is illegal and even if UK parents do it overseas they can be arrested and charged for it. Another fact. But the parents were eminent NHS surgeons. Finding them guilty would bring the UK NHS into disrepute - and that could never be allowed. It was a tragic accident. And it was covered up by successive governments ever since with the connivance of the PR advisor and the UK media. The advisor regularly pulls out unlikely perpetrators to keep the suspicion away from the parents and tries to rehabilitate their image. A classic UK government cover up - there have been plenty.
How the heck would his fellow mates know he had E. D.??? Back then one did not discuss their sex lives (not like nowadays where we find out just about everything about others sex lives (YUCK!).
His first attempts at sex were failures, and he was branded "Reggie-No-Dick" and "Can't-Do-It-Christie" throughout adolescence. No doubt the girls he tried to have sex with spread the word around.

@@janetpendlebury6808 Wow Janet being so near to where they lived and then that address becoming notorious in British crime history, must have haunted your family, for years.
All those victims😞
Little Geraldine as well..Timothy Evans never got a decent trial and today would have been called learning disabled. He certainly would have had a better counsel. Christie was a dreadful man who hoodwinked everyone. This is one of the most famous cases in the UK. Madame Tussauds used to have a mock layout of his kitchen, with all the identified places he hid his victims' bodies. As a child going there, that scene was terrifying. It has always stayed with me.
Excellent video! Absolutely brilliant! I have seen movies and documentaries on this gruesome case. It is awful how this monster got away with it for so long. My heart goes out to those poor women for what they suffered and endured before their deaths and after. I really appreciate your thorough account of this horrific crime and thank you for your detailed endeavours.
“Hit a prostitute on the head with a cricket bat, whilst working as a lorry driver in Battersea”. Best true crime narration.
This is a very British sentence
It's sad that all of these murders could have been prevented years and years before there ever was a true issue
Lots of crimes could be prevented,but that requires investment in mental services,a huge change society's attitude and training the police/social services de escalate situations.
are you suggesting imprisoning people for what they MIGHT do? Interesting....and very unethical.

@@wadewilson8011 so?.. I don’t WATCH 95% of the content here, it plays in my headphones while I’m doing something productive.. & sometimes noise drowns out a few words..
the point of the comment is that this telling of the story was COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from everyone else’s version and therefore it was better researched and interesting.
And I may very well have heard the name at the time, but understand that the creator deserves the credit for the effort to produce something that’s not just another copy of every other copy like far too many channels do. To the point of perpetuating errors.
One you got into this, I realized I had seen a film a few years ago (with John Hurt and Richard Attenborough) about this killer. It's very good if you want to be truly disturbed. Attenborough's depiction of the killer is excellent.
What's the name of it....???
Do you recall what the movie is called?
I’ve also seen the movie. Very disturbing but an excellent film.
@@Stephy0814 10 Rillington Place
10 Rillington Place, one of my all time favourite films. Richard Attenborough portrayed Reginald Christie exceptionally well.
I own a rather unique document written by Christie in January of 1953. Without detailing what it is, or how I came about it, it does give some indication as to how little consideration Christie had for anyone other than himself. Let no one be in any doubt as to the psychopathic and narcissistic nature of this individual.
🧢
If they get that reference, I'll eat my own.
Very cool you have that document and you are 100% on point with the psychopathic and narcissistic. It applies more often than most realize.
@@ktcooki276 that went right over my head. Explain please?
@@loisreese2692 cap…it means lying.
I'm sure most of you know after Christie left 'Rillington Place' others occupied his ground floor flat. In 1953 a Mr.King moved into the ground floor flat, but he had many restless nights, often he was disturbed and woken from his sleep, Mr.King said he would wake to find an oppressive energy of a woman in his room, he finally decided to buy insence in an attempt to cleanse 'Rillington Place'.
And? Did it work or not? You didn't finish the story.
@@Rage_Harder_Then_Relax not sure if it worked as the article I read didn't say if it had or not, it did say 'he TRIED to cleanse number 10, so maybe he wasn't successful. I have read part of the new build at the time (70's) was built partly on Christie's back garden and people living there have experienced electrics going wrong all the time etc. and remember Attenborough actually went in Christie's old flat to stand by his bay window and in the final film you see Attenborough standing at the window of number 10 as the London police inspect the manhole outside and Attenborough said he felt dirty and unclean after being in there. It isn't clear how much of number 10 Attenborough looked around, but he certainly had to go into Christie's flat to film that scene.
@@Rage_Harder_Then_Relax I'd wager it did absolutely nothing. Incense isn't even an ACTUAL "anti-parapsychology" method, rather you'd want blessings, ginger, salt, iron or blessings from a "hedge-wizard" (aka a shaman)
This narration is absolutely brilliant! I have ready seen the film and documentaries about this case yet I almost felt I was hearing it for the first time, due to the indepth research and detailed account. Thank you so much for your determined and caring account of Christies victims.
That Christie🤯🤬😠😡
How did his peers know he had ED and bully him about it? That doesn't seem like something that becomes public knowledge. Especially back in those days when everything was so closeted.
I'm purely guessing, but maybe his wife gossiped to somebody else's wife, who told her husband, who told his friends?
That's exactly what I was going to ask ..his peers teasing him about his dysfunction..lol
It could be that one of his sexual partners started gossiping about it.
How did young teenagers come to know of his ED?
Did he tell them?
Why would he tell them?
Listen again its not young adults teasing him about his ED.
@@stephenpmurphy591 He tried to have sex with one young girlfriend and couldn't, she then started calling him 'Can't-Do-It-Christie', word got around.
Excellently narrated. I’ve known about this case for many years and seen the film with John Hurt as Evans and Richard Attenborough as Christie.
Christie dunnit!
When we were kids we used to love scaring ourselves senseless by peeking through the cracks in the vault's in the cemetery.
We never went on to become sickos like him.
Hence the difference between a psychopath and normal curiosity.
i got locked inside one when i was ten, halloween dare gone very wrong after trick or treating, my friends dared me and they did not know the door would lock, i got locked into the childrens vault as well, i on accident knocked one of the coffins down of a little boy, it opened and i spent a hour screaming while staring at the skeletal remains of the little boy in the corner, i screamed so loud someone in the neighborhood came and got me out, my friends had ran to get my family to get me out with the exception of my friend james, both of us had seen the skeleton and both of us had screamed so loud
Really enjoyed your coverage of this story.
What a creepy man!!
Have read book & seen film,but you investigation still gave me new information! That’s what I love about you, you never do things by half✊♥️
I have read Ludovic Kennedy's book on this case and watched several documentaries. The bodies of both Beryl and Geraldine were hidden in the washouse, but no mention was ever made of a 16 week old foetus also being found. The reason that there was no smell coming from the bodies was due to the fact that at the time of the murder the weather was extremely cold which helped delay decomposition.
I have known about this case for many years and saw the film "10 Rillington Place" back in 1971. My parents were still living in London at that time and used to tell me of their horror at seeing pictures of 10 Rillington Place in the newspapers. This case is particularly gruesome and the way it was handled by the police and our justice system which led to the hanging of an innocent man was a scandal. Ludovic Kennedy wrote a book on this case many years ago which is well worth reading.
What an evil character. The detail in your videos is second to none. They are so well researched. Thank you DC.
MrBallen is the king of details.
This was so well done! I've watched many, many doco,s on this subject and yours is without a doubt the best I've seen! Well spoken (beautiful accent by the way), so full of information I hadn't known and I've heard of this from my parents in UK. The pictures were great, and I learned more than any other! You're exceptional young lady 👍👵🇦🇺
I remembered a random fact from this case- just before Christie was about to be hanged he complained that his nose itched. The executioner, Albert Pierrepoint leaned in and said “It won’t bother you for long.”
It might be because it’s a cultural tradition in Ireland to have a wake before the funeral where the body is kept in the house (usually in the bedroom) for a day or two before the funeral. The tradition is to let people view and pray over the body and especially in rural areas; it’s common to have a house filled with people day and night to pay respects and support the family. Even kids are welcome at the wakes and so it seems unusual to me that people would be so affected by it. Dennis Nielsen reported the same feelings but to me; it just seems like an easy excuse. Because tbh if it wasn’t; then half of rural Ireland must be secret serial killers.
I have read about the Irish wakes and found the subject extremely interesting. However I did not know that this tradition still exists today.
Are you trying to claim Ireland isn’t full of serial killing maniacs?
I don’t believe you!
😂
Okay, jokes aside - something playing a role in later behavior doesn’t mean it was the ONLY factor!
Genetics, Epigenetics, brain development, and other factors play a role as well - even a head injury can in some cases be enough to cause significant changes in behavior!
Ppl still have wakes but mostly they're done at a funeral home and any age can come a pay respect
From the States so I didn't know about this hortible man. I'm sure doctors and writers could write volumes about why he went this way (and probably have!)but many have endured worse and done great things because of it instead of killing innocents, especially the baby and her father. I truly wonder how people like this sleep at night! A very well done story as always!
Well, after listening to maaany cases, I came to the conclusion that a person is BORN evil, and the circumstances in their lives unleash that darkness inside. I've known people who had a hellish childhood (neglic, rape and abuse you name it) and they were still good people, of course they had issues, but never harmed anyone because of them.
@@veronicarodriguez9917 I sometimes wonder that myself. Both of my parents were ultimately crushed as adults because of heinous problems in their youths. Both died from substance abuse but neither tried to openly hurt anybody. My father, in fact , became an aeronautical engineer because of WWII and made several fortunes because of it trying to keep his country safe but he couldn't handle that I had MS so I am penniless. He died with very little left and it was given to his third wife who sold all the rights. I tried to save both but to no avail. I'm now older than my Mom at her death and approaching my father's age at his but I have my mother's belief in laughter and my father's disciplines that I will master my own course, not a disease! Maybe they did do something right; we shall see.
@@veronicarodriguez9917 oh dear, cut that short! I also knew my best friend in chilhood's father, a man I was very fond of and liked but my insides told me that something wasn't quite right. We got separated when I went to boarding school and lost touch. Two years later, her father was arrested for trying to have her mother killed! It changed my friend and I both forever even though we never spoke again after my condolence call. She has not married to this day and lives in virtual solitude at the age of 63. I have learned to trust no one, not even those you truly like. I wish humans weren't predators by nature. We sometimes eat up our own without eating a bite. There is evil in the world.
I’d never heard this series of event from Reg’s start. It was always presented from Tim’s. It took a few minutes to realize which case it was. Great work!
Just a heads up. Albert Pierrepoint was born in Yorkshire, son of Henry Pierrepont. Henry and his brother Thomas, born in Nottinghamshire, were also executioners. There is actually a place in Nottingham called Pierrepont and the National Watersports Centre is there now. Pierrepont is pronounced: Pier-point (pee-er-point). I liked the french, but the family is English.
I'm guessing "heads up" means something different in the UK as it's a warning in the US. I wasn't sure why this needed a warning.
Yup...it means to me, " hey, just so you know.... " 👍🇬🇧
There's also a documentary about him too.
came out against the death penalty before he died, I believe?
@@bostonsandatot4948 With 'just' before, it means "being helpful" or "letting you know" or to stop you making a mistake again. Not a particular warning.
What a horrible story…on so many levels. The police, lawyers, defense attorney, judge, all who refused to investigate Timothy’s story are greatly to blame for Timothy’s death. As an aside, I am always surprised at how folks back then looked so much older than their actual age.
Your voice is so calming, which is a welcome contrast to your content. Thank you so much!
Very good telling of the story. In 6th grade I came home with a library book about Christie, the case & trial. My parents were horrified & took it away. But later gave it back to me. They decided it was better for me to know about the evils & dangers of the world vs being ignorant & careless. Smart decision because the criminal analysis details probably saved my life a few times, esp during my younger adult years. Albeit gruesome & sad to read, re the victims. But today I would never suggest kids be exposed to such horrible adult situations & crimes, of course. There are better ways of teaching safety. Things were just different back in the 70s. More direct & harsh, maybe.
More honest.
When I was a little girl, in the 80's, I would tell my parents that I was going to the library., but instead I'd go to this tiny, dusty old pawn shop. Way in the back, they had a tiny room FULL of paperback novels and true crime books. I would spend hours there, reading horror novels, Ann Rule, Jack Olsen and other crime writers. I think I was ten!
@@widowrumstrypze9705 Totally relate :) Our local library was very small but very well stocked with a great variety of books to read. They also had 2-3 paperback carousels of grown-up novels, science fiction/horror & true crime/detective stories that you could take home on the honor system - no card stamp check-out required. So, being a curious young teen, I was taking books no kid should be reading. But doing so elevated my comprehension & writing skills to college level by 8th grade. So, thankfully, there were some positives in the advanced reading. Because my other school subject results were horrendously fail-level bad, lol.
Another extraordinary piece of research and narration. Excellent
One of my biggest fears about having kids is the possibility of giving birth and raising a future serial killer. These poor people! 💔
that would be hilarious

I love your channel. Please keep up your great work. Thanks in advance for keeping me entertained!!
Rillington Place was knocked down in the early 1970's. Low-level council flats St Andrew's Square was built over it, not Bartels Road, which is opposite. I installed a phone line in one of the flats in the early 2000's, and the guy living there told me there's always tourists and sight-seers wandering around and taking pictures. Some even dig up the grass verge in the centre of the flats trying to find bones!
the movie "10 RIllington Place" is terrifying. One of UKs most horrific cases.
He was teased about his ED from his peers? How did they know, did he tell them? That is awful for youngsters to know.
He tried to have sex with a young girlfriend, and couldn't perform, she then spread the word about him, calling him 'Can't-Do-It-Christie'.
i thought the same, HOW did they know
According to Ludovic Kennedy's book Christie, although a loner, became friendly with a group of youngsters. Apparently it was a popular tradition amongst these people to visit a lonely place called "The Monkey Run" where they would hug, kiss and then have sex. It seems a bit strange during that time, but that is apparently what happened. The girl with whom Christie was paired was sexually experienced beyond her years. When she realised that Christie was unable to perform she made fun of him and afterwards told all the others who treated it as a huge joke and gave Christie those terrible names.
The podcast Murder Mile did an incredible, detailed, multi-part series on these murders that is worth a listen, if you're interested in hearing more about them .
Tim's is such a sad sad story couldn't be any sadder .....
I love your channel, I've watched just about every episode since I found the channel around a year ago.
Another monster aided by the cops. Wow. That's surprising.🙄 This was extremely thorough! In all the docs I have seen or heard I've never had such detail. Very well done. Yes RIP all. Shameful on so many levels. Thank you DC🙏💔🦌
He *was* a cop, too, which is *also* an all-too-common theme in these cases. Other examples include Mikhail Popkov, the Golden State Killer (J. J. DeAngelo), and Le Grêlé (Françiois Vérove). All serial killers. All employed as policemen.
His trophies were...eww...😳
Good video, you're a great narrator! ❤
Diligent, detailed and pellucid. Respectful of victims yet cool and logical. And the narrative voice is lovely & lilting.
A few points if I may:
(1) never nag a serial killer and never, ever ridicule his sexual performance. Stay safe out there.
(2) 128 IQ v 70 IQ. 70 is going to hang.
(3) I imagine two cops: who was the first victim? Furst. Right the first victim? Furst. No, the name of the first victim. Furst was first. Of course the first was the first but what was her name!
Christie's IQ was 128 when he was only 11 years old which means it was even higher later when he was an adult. For me he is one of the most boring serial killers in spite of high IQ.
@@mirianakovachevic748 Very good comment. Not that Hollywood would ever mislead us, but it tends to show us high achieving monsters like Hannibal Lector, an MD, a connoisseur of wine and opera and art. The next second he's biting your nose off. Then back to opera.
No. Serial killers tend to be low achievers like Christie. Dennis Radar was the Napoleon of serial killers because he clung to a job as a dog catcher for 10 years. Their identity is submerged in their dark obsessions.
Say Christie had an adult IQ in the 140s. He obtained a negative IRR on that asset in terms of worldly position because he was expending all his energy killing victims and reliving the experience and opening up his special box of souvenirs. And he was otherwise off in less ghastly ways.
No. Hannibal Lector wouldn't have been a doctor - for one thing, they are rather anti-cannibal in reputable medical schools. Dahmer is the real life counterpart, much less erudite and charming. Christie was a nobody apart from his squalid, vicious, pointless crimes.
You were much more concise, by the way.
@@1rjbrjb You noticed well: they are all underachievers. Shows how strong and important is sexual drive that could overshadow everything else in these individual's lives. D.Rader with his OCD and crossdressing while maintaining serious facade is hilarious. Dahmer had this inner conflict, he reached for help but in vain. Both are interesting personalities.
@@mirianakovachevic748 very well put. I thought of Christie's impressive IQ and it occurred to me that the Nobel laureate Richard Feynman had an adult IQ that tested at 125. Many questioned this number, but Feynman didn't (IQ doesn't measure everything that is important). Feynman loved his wife and Letters Live has a heart-rending letter he wrote to her after she died that stayed in his desk drawer for 40 years. The point is he achieved an amazing return on this 125 IQ while Christie, his nominal superior, met the hangman.
You're right that the debilitating factor is sexual deviance or obsession. If you're not American, excuse me for bringing this up but it reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where George has no sex for three weeks, becomes an expert in the biomechanics of baseball, and teaches himself Portugese.
@@1rjbrjb I'm not American but I love Seinfeld🤣.

how can you look into the eyes of a little girl while you end her life....how could you do that
This story haunted me for a long time after watching a bbc tv programme on it years ago; ironically despite my interest in true crime, I’d never heard of the story until then, & I ended up going down a rabbit hole of newspaper articles, books, & documentaries here on RUclips.
As absolutely horrific as all of the crimes were.. Timothy, Beryl & baby Geraldine’s really got to me. It was so common for that era too for young parents to find themselves pregnant & not being able to afford another mouth to feed. Contraceptives weren’t freely available, & understanding how our bodies work just wasn’t common place back then like it is today; they had absolutely no idea about what ovulation etc was. Abortion was still illegal, & many women would find themselves in dangerous predicaments to try & save their living children / themselves / husbands (keeping a roof over their head, food in their bellies etc) by going down horrible dark alleys & paying out of pocket for back street dirty abortions, or even trying to do it themselves - they’d be so frightened, & a good number of women just wouldn’t survive.
Timothy, from what I read, was so mild & meek, but absolutely worshipped the ground Beryl walked on. He would’ve done anything for her & his daughter. He had some type of mild learning disability, but it didn’t hold him back from being a grafter & working hard to put food on the table. He was easily manipulated though & felt horribly shocked & frightened when confronted with Beryl’s death, & because of how clever Christie was, he knew exactly what to say to turn the guilt & blame onto Tim’s shoulders, which is why he helped Christie with Beryl’s body - Christie would’ve made him feel like it was his fault, that he should’ve stopped her, that he should’ve been present etc.
My heart just broke thinking how frightened Tim would’ve been during his time in jail & throughout the court proceedings; I can’t even begin to imagine how weary & scared he was to make that false confession, we all know how terrifyingly determined police can be when in a room alone with them if they want a crime solved & they’ve already pinned you as guilty.
The only comfort I got was knowing he hopefully kept thinking he’d soon be back with Beryl & Geraldine.
I don’t use this word often or lightly.. but Christie was genuinely evil to the core.
Wow, your comment broke my heart. I can't imagine what that man was dealing with because of his evil neighbor. Rest in peace, all of the victims. And thanks for your explanation.
This is not really important, but I often wonder how Tim managed to hold down a job as a van driver when he could barely read.
Extremely informative !!Excellent work!!!Thank You!!
I've been to several funerals and no way was I fascinated by the 'corpse'. Dude was born a psychopath WHICH SHLD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT WAY EARLIER to prevent all this sadness! She does great work. Great documentary as usual. Thx
I read that killers are born not made, because they lack a part of their brain that understand empathy and compassion. really chilling
@@sew_gal7340Most killers are not sociopaths or psychopaths.
Knowing what life was like in the times, finding all those bodies must have been harrowing for all involved. It makes me shudder to think about.
I would like to thank the orator for her final words, indeed, "may they all rest in peace;,
I've grown to really like your show. Great stories! 👌
Excellent presentation.
Talk about inept police!!!!! That poor man. It's very little consolation that this evil demon was finally caught because so many more innocent people died because of him. And while the police made restitution's it doesn't bring him back. You do very good work, but this one is very distributing to say the least, must be hard to do these videos sometimes.
I saw the film sad about timmy Evans he bought his daughter a Teddy bear and cristy had already killed her I think the police believed one of there own wouldn't do murder but it can be anyone a miss carriage of justice rest in peace timmy evans
Ahhhhhh, when you said abortion it clicked I've heard this one many times. Thanks.👍🏻👍🏻
Wonder how you go about compensating someone for putting a young man with leaning difficulties to death?
Seems their is no amount of money could possibly compensate for this, really sad he went to the gallows knowing what Christie was, but nobody believed him.
A case from my hometown that is lesser known is the disappearance of 12 year old Ann Gotlib (Russian immigrant) in Louisville Ky in the 80’s. Would LOVE for you to look into it ❤️❤️
Even though it wasn't meant for me, I look forward to looking into your suggestion. Thanks!
I’m from Louisville and have never heard of this case thanks for sharing. I live across the ridge now in good ole New Albany lol
Poor Timothy. He totally lost everyone and everyone. Even his life. The best reason to abolish the death penalty once and for all. If one innocent person is executed, it is murder by court, and nothing less. Timothy would have eventually been proven innocent.
It was his execution that finally pushed the UK to abolish the death penalty.
How can the police miss a human skull ?! A human skull ! In a crime scene !
It was a thigh bone in the garden they missed seeing, not a skull, they probably thought it was a dogs bone or something, but they should have found it.
Hmmm..I'm a little confused 🤔 why would he be teased about ED at a young age unless he went around telling everyone or gf told everyone about that problem. I honestly didn't know that it could happen that young and if he wasn't very young then I don't understand how ppl knew. ✌️
EXACTLY! I was looking to see if anyone else noticed what a ridiculous notion that was!
Yes that is weird...
The teasing started when he was in the military, and young military men spend a lot of time around each other. They shower together, dress and undress, and might as well put it out there, visit prostitutes together while on deployment and around military bases. The fact that he never had morning wood alone probably would have been obvious. Men compare peen sizes too. It's locker room stuff.
@@Leelz247 no one but gays do what you said lmao

A couple of nicknames were, " can't do it Christie " and " Reggie no dick "
my late Grandfather lived around the corner from 10 Rillington place where christie lived at the time. I remember him telling me all about his sickening crimes and he was shocked when he had read about what he done in a newspaper. My Grandfather said christie looked like a strange individual he would on occasions pass him in the street but never thought he could of been such a disgusting evil man.
So horrifying, he got away with this for so long. I’m thankful he was finally caught. Excellent work on the video.
I’m wondering what you think of Beryl’s brother Peter Thorley’s book about the Rillington Place murders? He has spent decades investigating and is convinced Tim Evans was guilty of killing his sister and niece. Christie never confessed to killing Geraldine Evans nor is there an explanation for why he killed the child as well.
Ludovic Kennedy suggested that being a child murderer didn't suit Christie's view of himself in his book about the case.
I am convinced that Evans did murder his wife Beryl but not his baby daughter Geraldine. He had a fiery temper, and he and his wife used to quarrel violently, nothing was more likely that he would one day murder his wife in a rage and that's exactly what happened. Christie was away from Rillington place for one hour on the day Beryl was murdered. He went to attend a doctors appointment in the evening. This he WOULDN'T have done if it's true that he had murdered Beryl that same afternoon.
Personally I think Christie murdered Beryl and the baby .... in his horrific mind set the baby had to go as she was a "Loose End " plus who else was it ? One killer in a house is strange but 2 ? ..
@@olawaleesan4672 Christie used to go to work, or sit and chat to his wife in the evenings after murdering people, of course he could keep a drs appt. Christie performed an abortion on Beryl, this was either a ruse, or he did it and she died. (Police believed that Christie and his wife might have been providing this service for other girls in exchange for money.) He knew that admitting to murdering an innocent baby (Geraldine) would be looked on as far worse than prostitutes, so would not admit to that. The odds against 2 murderers living in the same house must be huge, and they were wrapped similarly to the girls found in the cupboard inside the house.
The brother was only 13 when it all happened, and said he used to like talking to, and playing cards with Christie, who he called 'uncle Reg'! He says in his book about Christie killing Beryl ''He wouldn’t have done that' - yet Christie had already killed several women by that time, so I dont really think much of his book.
This story became a movie called 10 Rillington Place. John Hurt played the husband of the woman who was supposed to be getting an abortion. Richard Attenborough played Christie.
What shocks me about this case is how Reg was supposedly very smart but so unbelievably dumb about how he hid the bodies. I get getting lazy towards the end, look at Bundy quotes, but he was always not great at it. Maybe I'm just missing something but wow. What a story.
I think it's ludicrous how badly-chosen some of the stock footage used in true crime channels is. For example, instead of using video of modern soldiers to illustrate his experience in the army, why not just use actual footage of soldiers in the First World War? That would be so much obviously better in every way.
Have just watched with great interest. Such a thorough, detailed account
Of a monster/serial killer that Reginald Christie truly was, Rip to all of his victims especially poor little Geraldine,🙏. and l must congratulate you on a job so well done....................
Richard Attenborough as Reg Christie and John Hurt as the young duped husband were fantastic in the movie "10 Rillington Place."
👍 great movie
How in the hell would his peers even know about him having ID? It's not like it's something that is visible

I'm loving this channel, but i'm a tad confused with this one. You say that they (police doctors) never took a semen sample and you couldn't understand why. Errr in 1953 it would have not have been thought of to take a sample, as there was no way of forensicating that kind of "evidence". DNA matched evidential prosecutions did not happen in the UK until 1984.
They could do blood typing.
Haha your comment made me laugh! They never took a semen sample lol 😂... “Errr in 1953 it would not have been thought of to take a sample”
It wasn’t always the case but lots of law enforcement agencies made it protocol to take samples of possible bodily fluids long before DNA and blood typing. Just on account of being thorough and hoping that science would continue to advance. They couldn’t always identify stains as bodily fluids either. In just the past few years, lots of cases from the late 1950s and 1960s have been solved through DNA work on old samples. So I wouldn’t say it’s surprising they didn’t collect a sample, but maybe just a tad bit out of the ordinary!
Great Upload. Thanks!
Everybody these days: "People were nicer in the past."
This entire documentary: [ . . . ]
Rip to the victims Timothy too.
Wow if they didn't kill the innocent man he could have been released. How sad.
Great work as always, DC. Thanks!
Albert Pierrepoint was a FASCINATING character. Video idea?
o her just up and murderd Beryl? every other account says he just botched the operation because he didnt really know what he was doing and then just pinned it on her husband. i didnt know he planned and executed her. weirdly that makes the death of the husband slightly less tragic? like if it was an accident then it was post mortem that the false accusations came about but that man was just as much a victim as the rest.
Christie did not abort her at all. He used that as a ruse to get her to come into his flat where he later gassed and strangled her.
Timothy Evans had an extremely low IQ and was an easy target for Christie. He believed the lies Christie told him about being able to abort Beryl's unwanted child. In reality Christie did not attempt to carry out an abortion. This was just an excuse to get Beryl into his flat to murder her and then have intercourse with the body. Christie was a necrophile. Absolutely horrible.
Your Da Best! Keep On Keeping On. Xx❤️❤️🐕❤️❤️xx
"YOU'RE"!!!!
Best reply. I concur with your opinion sir! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
Christie was obviously spectacularly disturbed, but the background highlights to me how abusive backgrounds, bent religiously motivated toxic attitudes towards sex and deeply traumatic experiences can shape people who may be vulnerable to begin with to become so profoundly messed up that they end up taking out the twisted obsessions in their tortured minds on other people.
Can I just say that when it’s an historic story, it would be more fitting to use historical pictures or film that better fits in with the time period. For example Reg joining the army in the early 1900’s but showing modern footage of soldiers kinda throws you off. Surely there’s more appropriate stock film or photos available?
What total horror Reg inflicted!
I barely made it through the video! RIP 🕊♥️🕊 all
1953-- the year of Elizabeth II's accession!
The decision to use modern day depictions, both video and stills, was unfortunate. It’s akin to watching something with the wrong soundtrack. If nothing but stills from the period were available, that would’ve been better than scenes with people in jeans, and wearing or operating hi-tech devices of current times.
I seen a movie about this a few years ago NOW and it's a very weird movie especially the part when that innocent individual gets hunged for ONE of CHRISTIES MURDER
Wow. This was really one sick guy.
Someone gets picked on for their impotency? Folks back then knew A LOT about each other huh??
What the hell is wrong with people in this comment section? Not one of you mentioned the wrongful execution of Timothy. What a disgusting example of the use of state sanctioned murder. Glad that most countries in the west have now ended such a barbaric practice. One wrongful execution is an unacceptable outcome even if 99% of those who were actually guilty of terrible crimes were given lighter sentences in the long run (which we all know is actually life imprisonment). Even if the person was a bad person, wrongful execution is an appalling act of state justice. It's easy to be hateful of those who commit atrocities onto others. At the expense of putting one innocent person of such a crime is unforgivable and should be held against a society who believe capital punishment is an acceptable punishment. No way to live in supposedly progressive societies.
21.38 is not how law enforcement actually roll a person's fingerprints. 12 years ago i got arrested a few times and they do not roll the fingers forward; only side-to-side.
Excellent presentation, so too was the movie with Richard Attenborough and John Hurt, they were both fantastic in it, I feel very sad for Timothy Evans and his baby daughter, Christie was an absolute nutter, how he could do what he did just beggars belief, thanks for your work and the research undertaken
Yea great movie play parts spot on
😀💙👍👏😎😁 Well done!!! Thank You!!! Playing catch up.
What accent does the narrator have? It's interesting.
Sounds like Glaswegian, but softened a lot by time spent in southern England.
That's my guess, anyway🙂
Glaswegian- as in Glasgow, Scotland
chinese
@@howdareyouexist Don't, Americans will believe it, I saw one comment she had a hard to understand Australian accent. Lmao.
Glaswegian. But it sounds as if she has spent some time in the US.
Please do a video about the "German" Madeleine Mcann dissaperance of Inga Gehricke. Most likely the same murderer.
Nope. Ask two questions - why was Blair's top spin doctor immediately appointed to the investigation which was a simple missing child case - and remains as their PR advisor ever since. Secondly why were the parents never interviewed despite being present at the alleged crime scene. This is standard police procedure and is a condition upon which any further investigation may be made - no interviews allowed. These are documented facts. This was a case of child neglect. This is illegal and even if UK parents do it overseas they can be arrested and charged for it. Another fact. But the parents were eminent NHS surgeons. Finding them guilty would bring the UK NHS into disrepute - and that could never be allowed. It was a tragic accident. And it was covered up by successive governments ever since with the connivance of the PR advisor and the UK media. The advisor regularly pulls out unlikely perpetrators to keep the suspicion away from the parents and tries to rehabilitate their image. A classic UK government cover up - there have been plenty.
Strange because all the funerals I knew of the deceased were always brought home instead of a funeral home
Great video.💗
How the heck would his fellow mates know he had E. D.??? Back then one did not discuss their sex lives (not like nowadays where we find out just about everything about others sex lives (YUCK!).
His first attempts at sex were failures, and he was branded "Reggie-No-Dick" and "Can't-Do-It-Christie" throughout adolescence. No doubt the girls he tried to have sex with spread the word around.
That's a very strong view Janet.
@@olawaleesan4672 Not my view, it is what happened.
