The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

They call up Scotland Yard and they tell them this story and they're like, hey, can you look into this?

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

And Scotland Yard says, we got nothing else going on, so sure.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

So they go up to 10 Rillington Place.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

It's in a few officers up there.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

And there, indeed, in front of 10 Rillington Place is a sewer drain.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

In the very front of the building, which perfectly matches the description that Tim gave them.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

But there was a problem.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

They couldn't get the cover off.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

So they're trying to open up this sewer because they're expecting if we can get this sewer open, we're going to look down in it and there's going to be a dead body in there, right?

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

And that's what they think is going to happen.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

But they can't get the top off.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

And in fact, they got three sort of strong, able-bodied men pulling at this cover.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

And it takes them hours to get off.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

But finally, they get it removed.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

Now, despite this indicating that there is no way that Tim could have actually removed this cover on his own, the police dutifully search the drain.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

And wouldn't you know it, they do not find a body.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

So now we're in a weird situation, right?

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

Because we got a guy who's confessing to murdering his missing wife.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

But the story he's telling us about where the body is turns out not true, right?

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

So they call up the Welsh police and they say, hey, no dice.
