1
00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:10,980
Oh, there they are.
2
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,200
After Lee's death, I came across lots of
letters which she'd written
3
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:20,860
to her children.
4
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:31,460
It shocked me to the core that a mother
could write a letter like that to her
5
00:00:31,460 --> 00:00:32,460
daughter.
6
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,420
One day in 2015...
7
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,900
I received a letter from the UK.
8
00:00:41,060 --> 00:00:44,220
On the front, it says, thinking of you.
9
00:00:44,780 --> 00:00:49,820
I opened it, and there was a picture of
the phoenix.
10
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:58,040
Like the phoenix, I will arise from the
ashes, and sleep will obey me and
11
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,680
visit thee never, for my eyes are upon
thee forever and ever.
12
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,820
I have served my life sentence of shame
and blame.
13
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,860
Now it's your turn to suffer the same.
14
00:01:12,420 --> 00:01:16,260
Your nemesis, Lee Sabine.
15
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:18,800
What the fuck?
16
00:01:19,140 --> 00:01:20,620
Who says this?
17
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:27,840
It really does make you think what was
going on in her mind when she wrote
18
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:28,840
things.
19
00:01:29,020 --> 00:01:33,600
It seems it didn't take very much to
incur her wrath.
20
00:01:34,300 --> 00:01:37,200
Anyone who crossed her was in danger.
21
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,420
Every homicide is unique. In this case,
it was absolutely bizarre.
22
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,780
So an unidentified, freshly killed male
body may have been there for weeks,
23
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,500
possibly months, who died from a blow to
the head.
24
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,520
At this point in the investigation, Lee
Sabine is the prime suspect.
25
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,900
Lee had died three weeks before the body
was found.
26
00:02:51,260 --> 00:02:55,740
She didn't fit the profile of a killer,
but... Forensic examination of the
27
00:02:55,740 --> 00:02:58,260
packaging, wrapped around the body,
found a piece of hair.
28
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:02,580
It was a positive match for Lisa Bean,
linking her to the murder.
29
00:03:04,340 --> 00:03:09,300
Now, I had reasonable grounds to
forensic examine her flat to see if
30
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:15,400
any evidence of a violent attack to
prove if the killer is Lisa Bean.
31
00:03:17,620 --> 00:03:22,080
I attended the scene to look for any
forensics at all.
32
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,640
hair fibres, blood, fingerprints.
33
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,040
We looked everywhere.
34
00:03:28,420 --> 00:03:32,840
Skirting boards, architraven, behind
cupboards, the boiler in the kitchen.
35
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,560
Even the DNA team looked under the
floorboards for blood.
36
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,260
We knew the property had been steam
cleaned and a lot of the furniture had
37
00:03:43,260 --> 00:03:45,600
given away to neighbours and friends.
38
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,120
I had the hoover.
39
00:03:48,330 --> 00:03:49,810
Rhian had some jewelry.
40
00:03:50,250 --> 00:03:55,910
Another friend, she had a frog, which
was a weight for a door.
41
00:03:56,430 --> 00:03:58,650
We cleaned the place up really well.
42
00:04:01,390 --> 00:04:03,790
You've got to keep searching for that
evidence.
43
00:04:04,090 --> 00:04:05,990
It is like finding a needle in a
haystack.
44
00:04:21,550 --> 00:04:27,810
After I was charged with assault on my
mother, the shit hit the fan and my
45
00:04:27,810 --> 00:04:29,730
parents disappeared again.
46
00:04:30,490 --> 00:04:31,490
Are you their mother?
47
00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:34,350
No, I'm not their mother and I've
answered that one before.
48
00:04:35,470 --> 00:04:39,110
My mum said to Marty and I, we can't
keep living like this.
49
00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:41,610
We're all going to the UK.
50
00:04:42,690 --> 00:04:45,070
We've got airfares, we've got all the
tickets done.
51
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,640
We'll drop you at this hotel and we'll
pick you up at 10 o 'clock tomorrow
52
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,360
morning. And we were out of here.
53
00:04:52,860 --> 00:04:57,240
I thought, oh, we've still got a chance
at a family here, you know.
54
00:04:58,860 --> 00:05:01,360
Next morning, I was all pumped. Let's
go.
55
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,300
Went out, nothing.
56
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:06,940
There's just no one there.
57
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:08,780
Just waited and waited.
58
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,800
And then I realised, once again,
59
00:05:15,150 --> 00:05:16,210
Yep, they've gone.
60
00:05:17,950 --> 00:05:18,950
Yeah.
61
00:05:19,550 --> 00:05:21,150
Just smacked me around a bit.
62
00:05:22,810 --> 00:05:29,370
And then Jane told me Marty went to the
UK
63
00:05:29,370 --> 00:05:30,630
with his girlfriend.
64
00:05:34,830 --> 00:05:40,990
Martin was very much involved in helping
them escape because he wanted the
65
00:05:40,990 --> 00:05:42,670
relationship to continue.
66
00:05:45,070 --> 00:05:47,590
Oh, just like someone stabbed you in the
heart, really.
67
00:05:52,670 --> 00:05:57,390
I think all of us felt that we were
rejected again.
68
00:05:57,910 --> 00:06:04,190
We turned to drugs and alcohol to waste
ourselves, you know, so that we didn't
69
00:06:04,190 --> 00:06:06,130
have to think or feel.
70
00:06:07,690 --> 00:06:13,470
I went right back to an abusive
relationship and drug and alcohol abuse.
71
00:06:15,070 --> 00:06:17,650
No one and nowhere to turn to.
72
00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:21,890
We've never been a family. We're just
five people that have lived different
73
00:06:21,890 --> 00:06:24,250
lives, but got the same name.
74
00:06:24,570 --> 00:06:28,470
The good thing is that you're living
with your parents, not relying on foster
75
00:06:28,470 --> 00:06:29,470
parents or anything.
76
00:06:29,770 --> 00:06:32,490
They never really treated you the same
as your own kids.
77
00:06:32,930 --> 00:06:34,910
It's just good to have your own parents.
78
00:06:35,590 --> 00:06:40,530
When Martin went to the UK, I never
heard from him again.
79
00:06:54,380 --> 00:07:01,140
After two days looking for hairs,
fibres, blood and fingerprints, we found
80
00:07:01,140 --> 00:07:02,140
absolutely nothing.
81
00:07:06,780 --> 00:07:09,560
My wife was disappointed to have no
forensic evidence.
82
00:07:10,460 --> 00:07:13,920
The report opened up a number of
theories in my mind.
83
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:20,900
My first theory was steam cleaning had
taken place, so DNA and fingerprints
84
00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:21,900
could have been destroyed.
85
00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:23,780
The second theory was...
86
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,440
We suspected the murder had taken place
within that flat.
87
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,300
It could have taken place somewhere else
altogether.
88
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,020
Martin and I, we lived with Lee and
John.
89
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,900
They had this really nice apartment in
Reading.
90
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,420
We had our own little space.
91
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,120
Reading in the 80s, it was just like,
wow.
92
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,860
We were only young kids, but we loved
it.
93
00:07:58,540 --> 00:07:59,960
There were pubs everywhere.
94
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,720
Pub culture was huge.
95
00:08:04,140 --> 00:08:07,040
The cars, the little cars, the tiny
streets.
96
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,160
And then the bobbies on bicycles, you
know?
97
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:19,800
Martin was a great pool player. We'd go
down to the local pub and he would
98
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,880
thrash them all, the locals.
99
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,680
And it was like, yeah, that's my man.
100
00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:33,880
Martin became a different man because he
was happy and full of life when he'd
101
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,159
come in and sit around the dinner table
and have a family to talk to.
102
00:08:39,580 --> 00:08:44,500
And they treated him like he was the
only child, like the long -lost son that
103
00:08:44,500 --> 00:08:47,100
had come back and returned and very
spoiled.
104
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,160
He enjoyed being with his parents.
105
00:08:51,790 --> 00:08:55,870
But again, there was that sadness that
he didn't have his siblings.
106
00:08:56,690 --> 00:09:03,150
He felt he betrayed his sisters and his
brother by going to England.
107
00:09:04,930 --> 00:09:06,490
I couldn't believe he went.
108
00:09:07,950 --> 00:09:11,010
I know he wanted a mum and dad.
109
00:09:11,990 --> 00:09:12,990
We all did.
110
00:09:14,570 --> 00:09:20,630
He was just such a softie. He just
wanted that family situation.
111
00:09:21,740 --> 00:09:26,540
He wanted what everybody else has, but
he had his blinders on.
112
00:09:26,860 --> 00:09:29,020
It just wasn't what he imagined.
113
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,600
As the investigation went on, something
wasn't sitting right with me. This body
114
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:47,020
had been recently killed, but before it
was found, Lisa Bean was weak.
115
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:48,600
She was dying of cancer.
116
00:09:49,220 --> 00:09:52,060
There was no way she'd have been able to
commit such an act.
117
00:09:52,780 --> 00:09:56,540
I started to go back through the
evidence, you know, review it with the
118
00:09:56,700 --> 00:09:59,020
Started looking at the body, looking at
the wrappings.
119
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,160
And that's where I noticed the Tesco
carrier bag.
120
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,880
Nothing unusual with a Tesco carrier
bag.
121
00:10:06,100 --> 00:10:07,680
Only this one had a barcode on it.
122
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:13,100
And the date on that barcode was 1992,
you know, which was a significant time
123
00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:14,580
away from 2015.
124
00:10:15,900 --> 00:10:19,880
I understand that people hold on to
carrier bags for a long time, but 20
125
00:10:20,100 --> 00:10:21,420
I just thought that was really unlikely.
126
00:10:23,460 --> 00:10:27,840
So the body, when it was found, was
wearing a pair of St. Michael's pyjamas.
127
00:10:29,620 --> 00:10:33,820
We spoke to Marks & Spencer, and what
they told us was that those line of
128
00:10:33,820 --> 00:10:36,240
pyjamas were discontinued in the early
90s.
129
00:10:38,190 --> 00:10:43,670
Initially, we believed that this body is
probably recent, yet everything else is
130
00:10:43,670 --> 00:10:46,850
telling me that this murder may have
taken place some years ago.
131
00:10:54,290 --> 00:10:57,890
Martin and I had settled into local
life.
132
00:10:58,530 --> 00:11:02,510
Martin had formed a really close
relationship with John.
133
00:11:03,510 --> 00:11:06,270
John would talk about how he missed.
134
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:13,140
sports days with his kids and his sons
so it was all happy families except for
135
00:11:13,140 --> 00:11:19,680
Lee she was jealous of the relationship
that Martin had with John when I got
136
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:26,380
home she'd either be you know loud and
vivacious and happy other days she'd be
137
00:11:26,380 --> 00:11:31,420
like you know really dark moody stroppy
short
138
00:11:32,490 --> 00:11:36,270
And I think, oh, you know, what's wrong
with her? She had too much to drink. Or
139
00:11:36,270 --> 00:11:38,690
had they been fighting, her and John?
140
00:11:41,570 --> 00:11:45,910
John was very upset with not having his
other children around him.
141
00:11:47,990 --> 00:11:51,770
But it was the opposite for Lee.
142
00:11:52,990 --> 00:11:57,670
It's almost like she'd had children, but
they were more pets, you know, that
143
00:11:57,670 --> 00:11:59,810
she'd had and then discarded.
144
00:12:00,970 --> 00:12:04,150
She didn't have a motherly bone in her
body.
145
00:12:11,450 --> 00:12:17,350
As investigators, you think you get in
the story and then more information will
146
00:12:17,350 --> 00:12:18,430
take you in a different direction.
147
00:12:22,610 --> 00:12:26,110
I went back to the pathologist just to
run through some of the things we were
148
00:12:26,110 --> 00:12:28,790
finding and some of the things that were
troubling me a little bit.
149
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,960
Could it be that the body could have
been there a lot longer?
150
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,280
And the pathologist said there were
possibilities.
151
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,120
One thing which he did speak about was
the vacuum -packed theory.
152
00:12:41,420 --> 00:12:48,080
He explained, if that body had been
wrapped so tightly, and around and
153
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:54,760
around and around, taped, sealed, bound,
and if it had been bound with no air
154
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:55,760
inside that packaging,
155
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:01,900
That would have prevented any bacteria,
prevented decomposition, kept the body
156
00:13:01,900 --> 00:13:03,040
really well preserved.
157
00:13:06,660 --> 00:13:09,260
It's almost far -fetched, isn't it?
158
00:13:11,900 --> 00:13:15,360
There was skin on the body, there was
hair on the body, the organs were
159
00:13:15,660 --> 00:13:16,880
There were no maggots.
160
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,120
Right up until at this point in the
investigation, I'm working on a basis.
161
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,640
is a freshly killed male body.
162
00:13:23,860 --> 00:13:25,420
But can this body...
163
00:13:25,660 --> 00:13:29,720
We've been dead for quite some time, far
longer than we initially thought.
164
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,540
When I spoke to the undertaker, the
undertaker said, oh, I've got a theory,
165
00:13:35,660 --> 00:13:40,800
Lynne. She is proper vacuum -packed, you
know, like a piece of meat.
166
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,900
He said, I do think she's used something
to suck the air out.
167
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,660
Oh, I got the hoover, I said, in the
back of my car.
168
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,860
I'm so glad he never went in my house.
169
00:13:54,670 --> 00:13:58,130
Because that would have been a horrible
thought to think I had brought that into
170
00:13:58,130 --> 00:13:59,130
my house.
171
00:13:59,750 --> 00:14:03,370
All of a sudden we were looking at a
murder that had occurred many years ago.
172
00:14:04,750 --> 00:14:09,850
When the prime suspect, Lee Sabine, was
not too frail, ill to have committed
173
00:14:09,850 --> 00:14:10,850
such an act.
174
00:14:13,210 --> 00:14:18,080
After I found that Lee was at the centre
of things, I started to reflect on
175
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,040
something she told me, which I hadn't
really read at the time.
176
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,660
And it was that one of her sons had
died.
177
00:14:26,420 --> 00:14:31,840
And what I found strange was it was
almost like a throwaway remark.
178
00:14:32,540 --> 00:14:37,680
It didn't seem to be something which
bothered her a great deal.
179
00:14:41,300 --> 00:14:44,100
We'd been living together for about six
months.
180
00:14:45,130 --> 00:14:49,650
I came home from work, and Martin said,
I've got to tell you something.
181
00:14:49,910 --> 00:14:51,970
Mum wants you to move out. And I said,
what?
182
00:14:52,650 --> 00:14:55,810
And he said, Mum doesn't want you here
anymore.
183
00:14:56,130 --> 00:14:57,130
And I said, oh, my God.
184
00:14:58,250 --> 00:15:01,130
What am I going to tell Mum and Dad?
What am I going to do? Where am I going
185
00:15:01,130 --> 00:15:02,450
go? Like, what can I do?
186
00:15:03,170 --> 00:15:04,170
Like, what have I done?
187
00:15:04,330 --> 00:15:05,330
I haven't done anything.
188
00:15:05,950 --> 00:15:11,410
And he said, yeah, she's just gone off
on one, and she doesn't want you to be
189
00:15:11,410 --> 00:15:12,690
here. She wants you to move out.
190
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,640
And I started crying, I just didn't know
what to do.
191
00:15:19,700 --> 00:15:25,360
Martin was giving them what for, telling
them what the f*** is going on, why
192
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:31,640
were they doing it again and why were we
all the way over here in the UK for
193
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,180
this to happen to him again.
194
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:39,780
It was the first time that I'd ever
really seen him that angry.
195
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,340
She goes, I go too, and you lose me.
196
00:15:46,820 --> 00:15:48,640
John was very emotional.
197
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:54,160
He was like, but Lee, you cannot do
this. Like, why are you doing it? She
198
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,740
said, because I can.
199
00:15:56,660 --> 00:15:58,640
I thought, what an evil bitch.
200
00:16:01,180 --> 00:16:04,740
Martin really saw his mother for what
she was.
201
00:16:06,780 --> 00:16:12,470
In that moment, I felt... Lee would do
anything to be in control again.
202
00:16:15,330 --> 00:16:19,390
I just remember packing my suitcase and
off we went into the dead of night.
203
00:16:20,950 --> 00:16:22,790
I just couldn't know what to do.
204
00:16:25,230 --> 00:16:28,630
Martin stood by me and he said, I'll
never go back.
205
00:16:31,050 --> 00:16:33,730
After that, Martin just went downhill.
206
00:16:34,190 --> 00:16:37,550
His whole life just revolved around
drinking.
207
00:16:38,270 --> 00:16:39,770
He would get really dark.
208
00:16:41,070 --> 00:16:47,690
Our relationship spiralled down, and so
we just ended up breaking up.
209
00:16:47,990 --> 00:16:49,870
He moved back to New Zealand.
210
00:16:52,950 --> 00:16:57,970
And one day I get this phone call out of
the blue that Marty passed away.
211
00:17:01,810 --> 00:17:06,310
In 2000, Marty had been found deceased.
212
00:17:11,579 --> 00:17:14,180
And he had taken his own life.
213
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:22,839
I couldn't believe
214
00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:28,220
that Marty had... I just never thought
he would do that. He was just a fun,
215
00:17:28,260 --> 00:17:30,380
easygoing, gentle soul.
216
00:17:30,820 --> 00:17:34,780
That really knocked me around for ages,
that.
217
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,320
because I felt like I'd let him down.
Even though I did nothing to him for
218
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,600
years, I felt like I'd let him down.
219
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,280
On the day of his funeral, I just cried
and cried and cried, and I just couldn't
220
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:49,280
believe it.
221
00:17:50,420 --> 00:17:55,840
When he went back to the UK to see them
and they shit on him again, I totally
222
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,500
believe he never got over it. It might
have been not the thing that drove him
223
00:17:59,500 --> 00:18:04,220
over the edge in the end, but, man, it
would have filled the cup, you know.
224
00:18:06,659 --> 00:18:08,400
We all can only take so much.
225
00:18:11,620 --> 00:18:14,960
Martin phoned me a few days before he
killed himself.
226
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,940
And he'd often phone every now and then.
He'd drunk and dial.
227
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,380
He called me by the nickname he used to
call me.
228
00:18:26,180 --> 00:18:31,460
And I sort of said to him, oh, Martin.
And I said, oh, no. I said, stop it. I
229
00:18:31,460 --> 00:18:32,460
said, you're drunk.
230
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,960
He told me that he loved me and that
he'd always loved me and then that was
231
00:18:41,060 --> 00:18:45,000
In my heart of hearts now when I look
back on that phone call, that last phone
232
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,820
call, it was his goodbye, that he'd had
enough.
233
00:18:49,340 --> 00:18:50,800
He'd actually had enough.
234
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:54,400
So, yeah.
235
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:57,400
Sorry.
236
00:19:05,230 --> 00:19:08,030
I understand why he took his life.
237
00:19:09,250 --> 00:19:16,050
Not that I think it was right, but he
felt it was right for him. He was tired
238
00:19:16,050 --> 00:19:17,430
of believing in people.
239
00:19:18,510 --> 00:19:21,170
No one can hurt him where he is now, so
it's good.
240
00:19:25,210 --> 00:19:30,050
I could never forgive my parents for
what happened to Marty.
241
00:19:32,430 --> 00:19:33,930
They destroyed...
242
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:35,940
A beautiful soul.
243
00:19:47,340 --> 00:19:52,600
After Marty had passed, I received a
phone call, and it's my mother.
244
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,520
And she said somebody had knocked on her
door, and it was two policemen.
245
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:03,060
And they had informed her that her son
had died.
246
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:08,340
I said, yes, and I told her how he had
died.
247
00:20:08,540 --> 00:20:11,860
And she said, oh, but why would he do
that?
248
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,440
I was just speechless.
249
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,800
It's like, what, such a lady?
250
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,140
It's like, it's because of you.
251
00:20:29,980 --> 00:20:33,080
Not long after, My mother passed away.
252
00:20:33,580 --> 00:20:40,340
Mary West was cleaning out my mother's
home and came across all these letters
253
00:20:40,340 --> 00:20:43,280
she had written to all us children.
254
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:48,880
I just couldn't believe what she was
saying in them. Just crazy talk.
255
00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:52,840
Jane's ones were bad.
256
00:20:53,260 --> 00:20:55,380
Jane was the ugly duckling.
257
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,660
Marty's ones were bad.
258
00:20:58,350 --> 00:21:04,290
Calling him gutless and soft, and when
she had him, he was weak.
259
00:21:08,230 --> 00:21:10,150
The children were a burden to her.
260
00:21:10,450 --> 00:21:13,970
She didn't care about any of us.
Everything was about her.
261
00:21:16,450 --> 00:21:23,410
How could she write such horrible,
horrible, nasty, mean, evil stuff?
262
00:21:23,650 --> 00:21:26,350
She had a whole life with no kids.
263
00:21:27,230 --> 00:21:30,410
to do whatever she wanted to do, enjoy
her life.
264
00:21:30,630 --> 00:21:35,330
I just don't know why she had so much
hate.
265
00:21:38,870 --> 00:21:43,930
Towards the end, she said to me, you
could write my life story for me.
266
00:21:45,010 --> 00:21:48,230
It didn't appear that she had a good
upbringing herself.
267
00:21:51,350 --> 00:21:53,390
Lee told me that she grew up in the
Rhondda.
268
00:21:55,340 --> 00:21:58,100
which is the mining valley in South
Wales.
269
00:21:58,980 --> 00:22:02,120
It was tough, because literally there
was no money.
270
00:22:04,460 --> 00:22:07,500
Lee had been abandoned as a young child.
271
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:15,080
Her mother had left her father when Lee
was about three, and Lee
272
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,440
had been taken into care.
273
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,460
It had been a painful time for her.
274
00:22:21,930 --> 00:22:25,350
She used to say that she'd been abused
when she was in care.
275
00:22:25,670 --> 00:22:28,410
She didn't go into detail about it.
276
00:22:28,670 --> 00:22:35,070
It left her, as often happens with
children like this, as though she was
277
00:22:35,070 --> 00:22:36,350
emotionally stunted.
278
00:22:37,310 --> 00:22:41,950
I felt she had never been taught how to
be a mother.
279
00:22:43,810 --> 00:22:49,150
When she was about 15, she went to live
with her aunt, and her aunt encouraged
280
00:22:49,150 --> 00:22:50,150
her to sing.
281
00:22:52,170 --> 00:22:56,490
Aunt modelled her appearance on the
singer Diana Durbin. I wanted to look
282
00:22:56,490 --> 00:22:57,490
my first time out in Vienna.
283
00:22:57,850 --> 00:23:00,910
Oh, well, looks very nice. Very, very
pretty.
284
00:23:01,210 --> 00:23:03,570
Bought her clothes, make -up, etc.
285
00:23:04,150 --> 00:23:07,510
so that she did echo Diana Durbin.
286
00:23:08,670 --> 00:23:15,090
That could have been when Lee tried to
build up this persona rather than live
287
00:23:15,090 --> 00:23:16,090
the real world.
288
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:21,740
She chose to fantasise about what she
wanted her life to be.
289
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:33,840
There was no doubt that she was an
absolute storyteller. The stories of her
290
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,420
were totally mythical.
291
00:23:36,580 --> 00:23:39,820
She wasn't actually Lisa Bean from New
Zealand.
292
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,180
We found out her name was Anne Evans.
She was a lady who was born in the
293
00:23:44,180 --> 00:23:45,420
Valley in South Wales.
294
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,560
She grew up in that area.
295
00:23:49,660 --> 00:23:52,760
You believe she lived in the Rhondda?
It's only up the road.
296
00:23:53,260 --> 00:23:54,260
A Valleys girl.
297
00:23:54,340 --> 00:24:00,440
Good God, well, I wouldn't have. I mean,
you obviously can tell by your accent.
298
00:24:00,740 --> 00:24:03,400
You would never have known that from
her. Oh, definitely not. No.
299
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:04,680
No.
300
00:24:04,700 --> 00:24:06,420
No fucking way.
301
00:24:07,260 --> 00:24:08,260
Fuck off.
302
00:24:08,460 --> 00:24:10,840
We always thought she was from New
Zealand.
303
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,120
I would never, never in a million years
thought that she was from the Rhondda
304
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:19,520
Valley. And they say you can't take the
valley out to the girls. You can't all
305
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:20,520
just be, yeah.
306
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,320
Everything she said was untrue.
307
00:24:25,140 --> 00:24:26,099
Absolute lie.
308
00:24:26,100 --> 00:24:28,660
She just lived in a different world to
everybody else.
309
00:24:37,580 --> 00:24:41,860
I remember one day out of the blue, my
mother rang.
310
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:49,040
She said, your father passed a couple of
years ago. And I said, oh, how did he
311
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,860
pass? And she said, oh, he had a lot of
medical issues.
312
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,520
I said, oh, that's really sad. She said,
oh, I never truly loved him.
313
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,040
I hung up.
314
00:24:59,900 --> 00:25:04,200
Why she even felt the need to tell me
she never truly loved him, I don't know.
315
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,740
I remember Lee and John had moved in.
316
00:25:11,130 --> 00:25:12,130
When we were 97.
317
00:25:12,830 --> 00:25:14,610
My father said, we've got new
neighbours.
318
00:25:14,850 --> 00:25:16,170
Oh, that's nice. We can meet them.
319
00:25:16,850 --> 00:25:20,490
Yeah, my father. I said, what's the
matter? He said, we don't like her.
320
00:25:20,490 --> 00:25:23,590
something about her that you don't like.
Too in your face, we don't like her.
321
00:25:24,790 --> 00:25:26,730
John was just quiet.
322
00:25:27,090 --> 00:25:29,010
Yes, very quiet. Not in the background.
323
00:25:29,390 --> 00:25:32,770
He spoke, but she did most of the
talking.
324
00:25:36,030 --> 00:25:38,910
We did full proof of life inquiries for
John Sabine.
325
00:25:39,470 --> 00:25:43,090
DVLA, National Health Service, passport
inquiries.
326
00:25:43,470 --> 00:25:46,590
John, had Johnny been living there a few
months? Three, four months or the more?
327
00:25:46,710 --> 00:25:49,970
He wasn't there long, put it like that.
There was only a handful of times I
328
00:25:49,970 --> 00:25:51,810
would have ever had any interaction with
him.
329
00:25:52,150 --> 00:25:57,810
I'd never met John Sabine, but Lee said
that he'd left her because, darling,
330
00:25:57,970 --> 00:26:00,030
that's what Italian men do.
331
00:26:01,810 --> 00:26:05,070
We were able to approve on the 10th of
February 1997.
332
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:12,600
John and Lisa Bean had moved into 57
Tremor -Crumming Bay. Both of them had
333
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:13,680
signed the tenancy agreement.
334
00:26:14,380 --> 00:26:19,800
A couple of months later, 9th April
1997, he'd actually been physically seen
335
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,280
a doctor who recorded that meeting.
336
00:26:22,360 --> 00:26:28,000
But since April 1997, no one had ever
seen or heard of John Sabine.
337
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,420
I looked back at the desk to forget that
Mary West had uncovered.
338
00:26:35,660 --> 00:26:40,660
It was for a John H. Sabine. He was a
male who was born in 1929.
339
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,360
However, looking at this document, John
Sabine, who was born on the 5th of
340
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:46,360
August, 1930.
341
00:26:48,700 --> 00:26:54,280
So you had the same name, John Sabine,
both born in the London area, but the
342
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,280
date of births were actually out by one
year.
343
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,960
So with all the best intentions of Mary
West, she'd had the death certificate of
344
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:03,960
a different person.
345
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:12,080
After John had supposedly left her, when
we went to visit my parents, as soon as
346
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,480
you opened the door, this smell would
hit you. It had to be coming from Lee's
347
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,820
flat. I said to my mum, what is it?
348
00:27:19,020 --> 00:27:20,960
Oh, she's cooking curry.
349
00:27:21,980 --> 00:27:25,820
Mum, I cook curry. It doesn't smell like
that.
350
00:27:26,020 --> 00:27:27,920
It was a putrid smell.
351
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,800
She put a load of hot puree, et cetera,
to hide the smell.
352
00:27:32,140 --> 00:27:33,160
It didn't work, though.
353
00:27:34,110 --> 00:27:39,070
Now we're focusing on John Sabine as a
potential victim, but we had no
354
00:27:39,070 --> 00:27:40,670
definitive proof that it was him.
355
00:27:42,070 --> 00:27:46,710
We needed the DNA from his children in
order to establish their identity.
356
00:27:48,790 --> 00:27:51,250
I got a phone call from the police.
357
00:27:51,570 --> 00:27:55,950
They want a DNA sample so they can
identify the body. And I said, good.
358
00:27:56,170 --> 00:28:00,670
And then they contacted me back and
said, we don't need one of you, we've
359
00:28:00,670 --> 00:28:01,670
one of your brother.
360
00:28:02,410 --> 00:28:04,330
And then I said, but my brother's dead.
361
00:28:04,670 --> 00:28:06,770
No, no, you've got a half -brother over
here.
362
00:28:07,170 --> 00:28:11,430
Excuse my language, but I thought, holy
fuck, what else is going to come out of
363
00:28:11,430 --> 00:28:12,430
us?
364
00:28:13,510 --> 00:28:18,030
We started to delve deeper into John
Sabine, pulling his army records, and
365
00:28:18,030 --> 00:28:20,870
that's where we found out that he'd
actually had two children from a
366
00:28:20,870 --> 00:28:22,550
marriage that were living in the UK.
367
00:28:27,230 --> 00:28:31,030
I'm Chris Sabine, son of John Sabine
from his first marriage.
368
00:28:36,170 --> 00:28:40,190
I was about one years old. My sister
would have been about two and a half
369
00:28:40,190 --> 00:28:42,110
my father abandoned us.
370
00:28:46,850 --> 00:28:53,630
Back in 2015, we were selling Christmas
trees and the phone rang and I picked
371
00:28:53,630 --> 00:28:54,489
the phone up.
372
00:28:54,490 --> 00:28:58,310
This Welsh accent said, is Christopher
John Sabine there?
373
00:28:59,810 --> 00:29:05,070
I said, we want to come out and do a DNA
test on you because we found a body.
374
00:29:05,740 --> 00:29:07,120
We think it's your father.
375
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,940
If we can come over as soon as possible.
376
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,240
I thought, when's that?
377
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:12,780
They said, oh, tomorrow morning.
378
00:29:13,020 --> 00:29:14,160
I thought, what, Saturday?
379
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,760
Saturday. No, Saturday then.
380
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,060
And they said, I'll be over by the
morning.
381
00:29:19,260 --> 00:29:23,680
They were here at 9 o 'clock, 10 o
'clock? 9 o 'clock. In the morning? They
382
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:24,680
a DNA test.
383
00:29:25,580 --> 00:29:30,780
Well, I was a bit stunned by it, really,
because you thought, what's happened?
384
00:29:33,610 --> 00:29:38,590
My mother said, when I was one or two
years old, my father came back from the
385
00:29:38,590 --> 00:29:39,589
Korean War.
386
00:29:39,590 --> 00:29:40,910
He had shell shot.
387
00:29:42,430 --> 00:29:47,890
He was in hospital for a long period of
time and he got friendly with the nurse.
388
00:29:48,650 --> 00:29:52,730
Next thing you know, she got pregnant at
the time.
389
00:29:52,990 --> 00:29:55,890
John was 28 and Lee was 17.
390
00:29:57,590 --> 00:30:01,410
When my mother found out, she decided
that's the best thing he can do is
391
00:30:01,410 --> 00:30:02,570
So I told him to leave.
392
00:30:05,219 --> 00:30:07,840
One of the worst things in my life, I
never grew up with a father.
393
00:30:08,460 --> 00:30:09,460
There's a lot to miss.
394
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:19,880
The officers went to see Chris, took a
DNA sample kit, which was comprised of a
395
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:20,559
mouth swab.
396
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,520
We quickly fast -tracked them to the
lab.
397
00:30:25,380 --> 00:30:28,920
I was very conscious this was someone
who hadn't seen their father for many,
398
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:29,960
many years.
399
00:30:30,220 --> 00:30:31,720
We weren't sure of their relationship.
400
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,140
We weren't sure of the impact that much
could have on Chris.
401
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:42,100
In the mid -80s, when I was round about
the age of 32, we had this phone call to
402
00:30:42,100 --> 00:30:47,740
say, this is your father, John Sabine.
Would you like to meet me? I said, yeah,
403
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,960
certainly. I couldn't believe it.
404
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,260
We met for over a year and everything
was nice.
405
00:30:54,020 --> 00:30:58,960
We went down every fortnight to Reading
and we always went out for dinner. We
406
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,020
paid one week, they paid the following.
407
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,140
It was very strange because going all
through my life that I haven't got a
408
00:31:06,140 --> 00:31:09,740
father, I also haven't got a father. I
was really pleased to see him.
409
00:31:10,740 --> 00:31:13,280
I think he wanted to have a family.
410
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,480
Not so much be a dad, but have a family.
411
00:31:17,260 --> 00:31:23,520
As we got to know them both more, it
appeared that she was definitely the one
412
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:24,520
control.
413
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:30,240
John agreed with everything that she
said. He would never stand up against
414
00:31:30,300 --> 00:31:31,740
He wouldn't argue with her.
415
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,400
She was a bit aggressive.
416
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:41,200
One day I rung up to say, I've got my
first child, you're a grandad now, and
417
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,460
it's almost as if he couldn't speak to
me.
418
00:31:43,660 --> 00:31:45,860
And that was it, never saw him again.
419
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,000
Which was strange, because I thought
John was very, very keen to have a
420
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,000
grandchild.
421
00:31:52,340 --> 00:31:54,960
I don't think Lee at the time wanted...
422
00:31:55,230 --> 00:31:57,490
him to have any relationship back with
us.
423
00:31:57,890 --> 00:32:01,090
She was a very jealous person and it was
her way and her way.
424
00:32:10,970 --> 00:32:13,450
So two days we received the results of
the DNA test.
425
00:32:15,070 --> 00:32:18,870
DNA that we derived from Christopher had
helped us positively identify the
426
00:32:18,870 --> 00:32:19,870
victim.
427
00:32:20,750 --> 00:32:23,610
It showed that it was actually his
father, John Sabine.
428
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,340
I was horrified. I was sad.
429
00:32:30,740 --> 00:32:32,760
I was all these emotions.
430
00:32:33,620 --> 00:32:36,100
Couldn't believe it, but I could believe
it.
431
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,740
And I felt sorry for John.
432
00:32:39,740 --> 00:32:41,480
I thought, you poor man.
433
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:48,780
He wasn't perfect, but I felt sad for my
father.
434
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,320
In the little time I know, he always
seemed placid to me.
435
00:32:55,900 --> 00:32:56,900
New Zealand.
436
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,300
When the press were going, he would be
just about crying. You know, he was
437
00:33:01,340 --> 00:33:02,540
it was too much for him.
438
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,260
I want it left alone.
439
00:33:04,620 --> 00:33:08,340
All you're trying to do is to break the
family up.
440
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:15,840
When I was told to leave that home, my
father
441
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,900
came running out with a parrot.
442
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,920
It was a hanging parrot that sat on the
swing.
443
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,500
He had pulled that parrot off the swing.
444
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,820
And he gave it to me and told me he
loved me.
445
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:32,180
And I think that's where the softness I
hold is there for him.
446
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:41,040
I don't know if my mother knew about
this parrot, but she would have hated
447
00:33:47,420 --> 00:33:52,760
The theory was that John Sabine was
killed by Lisa Bean sometime in 1997.
448
00:33:53,870 --> 00:33:55,710
But there was no hard evidence.
449
00:33:58,010 --> 00:34:00,670
Confirming the identity of the body, it
opened up a number of investigative
450
00:34:00,670 --> 00:34:01,670
options for me.
451
00:34:02,630 --> 00:34:05,570
One being the media, you know, appealing
for witnesses.
452
00:34:06,110 --> 00:34:10,429
They formally named John Sabine as the
victim, and that was the first time that
453
00:34:10,429 --> 00:34:11,690
his name had really gone out.
454
00:34:12,259 --> 00:34:16,520
Welsh bullies have discovered the body
of a man wrapped in plastic. John
455
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,719
was last seen 18 years ago. They live
all over the UK.
456
00:34:19,940 --> 00:34:22,440
They kept no close friends, no close
family members.
457
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,020
If you do know anything about this
couple, please call them on 101.
458
00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:31,340
The most interesting phone call was from
a lady called Valerie Chalkley.
459
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:37,060
She'd been friendly with Sabine when
they returned from Australia in 1984 and
460
00:34:37,060 --> 00:34:38,060
were living in Reading.
461
00:34:38,860 --> 00:34:39,940
She was...
462
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,400
Strange, strange pair.
463
00:34:42,699 --> 00:34:44,560
She really, really was.
464
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:51,239
Valerie Chalkley tells a story of how
she lost touch with John and Lee. For a
465
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,540
number of years, she didn't speak to
them. And she says, I got a phone call
466
00:34:54,540 --> 00:34:56,120
of the blue, and it's from Lee Sabine.
467
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,460
And she put the date around 1997.
468
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,460
Valerie Chalkley just asked her, how are
you? How's John?
469
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,340
She said, I've killed him.
470
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,480
I said, she said, yeah, I've killed him.
471
00:35:08,940 --> 00:35:13,140
I battered him with a stone frog because
he was getting on my nerves.
472
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:19,480
And I thought, oh, she's having me on.
She could come out with statements that
473
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:20,900
were totally ridiculous.
474
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:26,380
And you know when you feel a bit of a
fool and think, I feel a fool, and if I
475
00:35:26,380 --> 00:35:29,420
said, is that true, she'd say, of course
it isn't, you know.
476
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,580
Then she goes on to talk about other
things.
477
00:35:33,220 --> 00:35:34,800
Changed the subject completely.
478
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,320
She was a show woman. She really was.
479
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:44,660
If she could have written a life story,
this is what she would have done. This
480
00:35:44,660 --> 00:35:49,740
is how she would have wanted it. People
talking about her, leaving an
481
00:35:49,740 --> 00:35:50,740
impression.
482
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,540
Listen to what she told me. I wasn't
sure what to make of it.
483
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,500
This was so bizarre, this information.
484
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,500
How credible was this? We weren't sure.
485
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,960
Whether this was the missing piece of
the puzzle, this was actually it, or
486
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,660
whether it's a weird story.
487
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:12,600
This ornamental frog that has been used
potentially as a murder weapon to kill
488
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,160
John, we have to trace it.
489
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,260
How are we going to do that? It's been
18 years.
490
00:36:29,370 --> 00:36:33,430
CID contacted me and asked me if I'd
ever seen this frog.
491
00:36:33,790 --> 00:36:37,190
And I said, well, it used to be proper
in Lee's bedroom to open.
492
00:36:38,330 --> 00:36:42,110
I just tasked the officers to go back
and speak to Lee's neighbours.
493
00:36:44,850 --> 00:36:48,610
We started doing some inquiries and the
very first place we go is to the
494
00:36:48,610 --> 00:36:50,850
resident downstairs who was arrested as
a suspect.
495
00:36:51,850 --> 00:36:55,550
That was a sensitive inquiry because
Michelle James was quite upset over the
496
00:36:55,550 --> 00:36:57,190
fact that she'd been arrested in this
case.
497
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,540
We asked her if there was any other box
that belonged to Lee. She said, oh, I
498
00:37:01,540 --> 00:37:02,920
think there's a box on top of my fridge.
499
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:06,080
And there he was.
500
00:37:08,540 --> 00:37:11,180
Both our eyes lit up, you know,
thinking, oh, that might be it.
501
00:37:13,060 --> 00:37:18,140
And what the pathologist was able to do
was produce digital imagery.
502
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,540
You could see where that frog had been
driven into the skull.
503
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,440
It was a perfect overlay.
504
00:37:27,660 --> 00:37:31,600
My theory is John Sabine had gone to
bed, fallen asleep.
505
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,020
You know, they may have had an argument
the other night.
506
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,980
And then she's grabbed that stone frog.
507
00:37:37,580 --> 00:37:42,120
She's attacked him with some significant
blows to the head, which have ended his
508
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,120
life.
509
00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:48,840
It just didn't seem real.
510
00:37:49,100 --> 00:37:50,720
It's so far -fetched.
511
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,460
I'd hate to even know and miss them.
512
00:37:53,720 --> 00:37:54,840
You know, God.
513
00:37:57,130 --> 00:38:03,870
Part of me thinks that my father was
always feeling bad that he had left us
514
00:38:03,870 --> 00:38:04,870
again.
515
00:38:06,030 --> 00:38:11,690
I think she didn't want to hear it and
hit him over the head to shut him up.
516
00:38:12,890 --> 00:38:16,570
She just exposed him like she did
everybody else.
517
00:38:18,010 --> 00:38:22,270
She got away with murder. She got away
with so much in her life, you know.
518
00:38:22,970 --> 00:38:24,590
I can't forgive someone for that.
519
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:31,560
Our father loved her unconditionally. He
had nobody else, so he stayed with her
520
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,520
and he paid a terrible price.
521
00:38:42,420 --> 00:38:46,660
This is the ring that my father, John,
had on him when they found the body.
522
00:38:47,660 --> 00:38:49,040
There's nothing much else.
523
00:38:50,180 --> 00:38:52,900
Nothing. Nothing at all. No photos, no
nothing.
524
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,320
At his funeral, there was nobody there.
525
00:38:57,900 --> 00:38:58,900
Literally nobody.
526
00:38:59,260 --> 00:39:02,980
It was as if he was a ghost in the area
that he lived.
527
00:39:03,300 --> 00:39:08,580
Nobody can ever recognise him. Nobody
ever saw him. Nobody ever interacted
528
00:39:08,580 --> 00:39:12,180
him. But I think that's exactly how she
wanted it to be.
529
00:39:13,140 --> 00:39:15,680
It was coercive control.
530
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,340
And they would just be concealed for
some 18 years.
531
00:39:18,620 --> 00:39:22,940
And Anne Sabine kept up the facade that
John Sabine had left her or was with
532
00:39:22,940 --> 00:39:24,420
another woman or had indeed died.
533
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,420
It's almost like Lee Sabine was thinking
ahead and setting tracks for people.
534
00:39:29,820 --> 00:39:32,780
The stone frog was actually sitting in
Michelle's flat.
535
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:38,520
Lee had even told Michelle James the
story around the medical scandal. It's
536
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,980
really cruel when you think of what
Michelle James went through.
537
00:39:42,350 --> 00:39:46,630
The impact that the murder had on
Michelle was quite appalling.
538
00:39:48,130 --> 00:39:52,850
If Lee had come clean, she was dying,
she couldn't have been brought to
539
00:39:53,070 --> 00:39:59,050
but there would have been more a sense
of natural justice if other people
540
00:39:59,050 --> 00:40:00,410
had to be implicated.
541
00:40:01,430 --> 00:40:06,090
Mr Sabine was never reported as a
missing person, and the circumstances of
542
00:40:06,090 --> 00:40:09,230
his body was concealed is part of the
ongoing investigation.
543
00:40:11,250 --> 00:40:15,450
Going into that flat, I can't recall
seeing a big freezer.
544
00:40:15,750 --> 00:40:20,310
I can't recall seeing an attic door.
There probably was. Was that body in the
545
00:40:20,310 --> 00:40:21,310
loft?
546
00:40:22,030 --> 00:40:26,210
I think it was under the divan bed.
547
00:40:27,750 --> 00:40:31,850
Under the bed? No way. The only other
possible place it could have been kept
548
00:40:31,850 --> 00:40:32,828
in the garden.
549
00:40:32,830 --> 00:40:34,490
And whether it was in the garden shed.
550
00:40:35,650 --> 00:40:36,650
The only...
551
00:40:36,970 --> 00:40:40,850
A feasible place that it could have been
stored, there was one sort of store
552
00:40:40,850 --> 00:40:42,270
cupboard where the meter was kept.
553
00:40:42,670 --> 00:40:46,910
It would have had to be somewhere where
she could have access to the body and
554
00:40:46,910 --> 00:40:51,690
continually wrap it over a period of
time to prevent the smells and to
555
00:40:51,690 --> 00:40:52,870
any decomposition.
556
00:41:06,670 --> 00:41:09,630
I absolutely felt that she had duped us.
557
00:41:11,050 --> 00:41:14,590
She had the secret all along and was
hiding it from us.
558
00:41:16,570 --> 00:41:20,850
You don't think to have a murderer in
the midst, but obviously it was one
559
00:41:20,850 --> 00:41:21,850
on her doorstep.
560
00:41:25,010 --> 00:41:29,850
I felt angry with her afterwards because
she was an outsider who'd been accepted
561
00:41:29,850 --> 00:41:32,350
and she mocked that.
562
00:41:34,950 --> 00:41:40,610
She boasted that after I die, I will be
famous, and we laughed it off.
563
00:41:45,910 --> 00:41:47,570
She played a damn good part.
564
00:41:47,850 --> 00:41:49,410
An Oscar shouldn't be awarded.
565
00:41:50,410 --> 00:41:52,470
She walked on an actor. She was a liar.
566
00:41:55,050 --> 00:41:59,270
I do think she was evil, and those
children suffered because of her.
567
00:42:12,620 --> 00:42:17,400
I couldn't leave her with all the glory
of committing the perfect murder.
568
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:25,340
Because this story is not just about a
murder. It's about our lives.
569
00:42:32,240 --> 00:42:39,030
I spent the majority of my life trying
to figure out why our parents
570
00:42:39,030 --> 00:42:44,670
might have left and the reality of what
they did to us.
571
00:42:46,490 --> 00:42:49,310
All my life, all I've wanted to do is be
part of a family.
572
00:42:49,590 --> 00:42:50,670
Good, bad, otherwise.
573
00:42:51,070 --> 00:42:52,790
I just wanted to belong to somebody.
574
00:42:53,510 --> 00:42:55,950
And all my life, I never thought I did.
575
00:42:59,170 --> 00:43:01,810
Last time I seen Leanne was about three
or four years ago.
576
00:43:05,870 --> 00:43:06,970
Jane at the same time.
577
00:43:08,430 --> 00:43:15,010
I always wonder what our family would
have been like
578
00:43:15,010 --> 00:43:16,810
if we'd stayed together.
579
00:43:18,410 --> 00:43:23,350
Did you guys know our mother was
abandoned when she was younger?
580
00:43:23,810 --> 00:43:25,590
Yep, she told Marty and I.
581
00:43:27,430 --> 00:43:32,210
Don't feel one ounce of pity or sorrow
or anything for her. Sorry, I don't.
582
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,000
Why go and have five children and leave
them?
583
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:42,060
When you know that pain, you know that
pain of desertion, and yet she went and
584
00:43:42,060 --> 00:43:43,620
did it to us.
585
00:43:52,740 --> 00:43:57,300
But regardless of what my mother did,
we're breaking the cycle.
586
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:02,680
I could never imagine putting my kids
through what I went through.
587
00:44:04,140 --> 00:44:05,600
My mother had a choice.
588
00:44:06,700 --> 00:44:07,860
Everyone's got to make a choice.
589
00:44:09,460 --> 00:44:11,640
Could I keep going in the same route I
was?
590
00:44:12,100 --> 00:44:15,720
I'd either have been in jail for the
rest of my life or I would have been
591
00:44:17,540 --> 00:44:24,300
I knew that the only way out for me was
if I had a child to
592
00:44:24,300 --> 00:44:27,580
love and look after that.
593
00:44:29,180 --> 00:44:32,600
That would save me when you have a baby.
594
00:44:33,240 --> 00:44:34,680
The love is instant.
595
00:44:35,580 --> 00:44:39,680
It's like the most amazing, beautiful
thing in the world.
596
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:43,380
My kids were the best thing that
happened in my life.
597
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:49,080
Yeah.
598
00:44:57,340 --> 00:45:02,460
We've all come from a horrible place and
done some amazing things in our lives.
599
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:08,800
You know, I own my own home, got
children, got a lovely wife, you know.
600
00:45:09,500 --> 00:45:10,920
And I do love my wife.
601
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:14,280
She wonders sometimes.
602
00:45:17,700 --> 00:45:21,180
I'm actually really proud of the kids
we've turned out to be.
603
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:23,540
We're good kids.
604
00:45:23,780 --> 00:45:24,780
We have hearts.
605
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:27,080
Unlike her.
