If you look it up, it's like a little kind of a half circle, like a half sphere. Kind of made with notes, kind of made with like a tin almost with like a little opening so you can scoot in and hide essentially. Okay.

Next to it, they found a woman's green wool turban-style hat, some matches, and some Ovaltine tablets. Then, as they got closer to it, they saw what looked like the pale leg of what they believed was a mannequin sticking out of the doorway of the shelter.

Harold Batchelder ran to the nearest phone and called the police and PC John Miles arrived a short time later. They discovered this was a human body because initially they thought it was a mannequin, but they were like, let's call it in. Yeah, just in case. With all like the objects that clearly belong to a woman, we're not going to check ourselves.

So upon seeing this woman's body, Miles knew it was not an accidental death. Yeah. So he called for additional officers and he secured the scene. Now, as far as the officers at the scene could tell, the woman in the air raid shelter had been brutalized by her attacker. Her face and neck were badly bruised.

Her clothes were torn, her skirt had been pulled up to her thighs, and she had been violently sexually assaulted. The following day, the pathologist, Sir Bernard Spilsbury... Spilsbury. I love this name. Sir Bernard Spilsbury. It's a very important name. It is an important name. He concluded his post-mortem examination, and he reported that...

Aside from the bruising on her face and neck, there were, quote, a number of small abrasions to her upper, including a small amount of abrasions to her exposed right breast. The cause of death was listed as manual strangulation. She ended up being the least brutalized of all of his victims, if you can believe it. Just to give you a heads up for what's to come. Okay. Okay.

The only blood found on the victim was her own, but the bruising on her neck and fingerprints found at the scene suggested that she'd been killed by a left-handed person. Ah, interesting that they could figure that out back in the 30s. Isn't that interesting? A few days later, the victim was identified as Evelyn Hamilton, a 41-year-old pharmacist from Essex. Oh. So she was just going to her job.

But unfortunately, no one at the Lions Corner remembered whether she was joined by a man that evening. So they couldn't really determine whether she'd been lured to the shelter or simply attacked on her way back from the hospital or the hostel. Detectives had only just begun investigating the Hamilton murder when a report of a similar murder was reported on February 10th.

This is just the next day. Right. That morning, two meter readers from the electric company were doing their rounds, you know, just going from rooming house to rooming house. And they were trying to go into one place in a rooming house on Wardour Street in Soho. So the men knocked on the door of 34-year-old Evan Oatley's room and they got no reply. The manager was like, no, she's home.

Like, I know this. I saw her. Like, she hasn't left. So the manager was like, you know what? Did you try the door? And they were like, well, no, we can't just like walk into people's houses. So we didn't. And he was like, no, I know she's home. I'm just going to like see if I can open it and yell for her. Yeah. So he jiggled the door and it was unlocked.
