TV cameras filmed this 22-year-old retracing his missing girlfriend’s last steps at Oxford station, with a policewoman playing her. Two weeks earlier, he had strangled her and hidden her body under the floor of her house: He had proposed to her that weekend, and she said no. The next day he killed her in her student house. Then he went to the station, wrote her a love letter as if he were already on the train, and posted it to her: “God, this train is bumpy.” Rachel McLean was 19, a student at St Hilda’s College. John Tanner, a classics student from New Zealand, told police he last saw her at the station with a long-haired stranger who offered her a lift. His letter even mentioned the stranger. Police quietly asked reporters to put the hard questions to him at a press conference. Was he aware of anything sinister that had happened to Rachel that involved him? “Not at all.” Did he think she was still alive? “In my heart of hearts I like to think so.” The reconstruction was his undoing. A woman watching it on TV recognized him as the man who sat near her at the station alone, writing a letter. On May 2, 1991, police found Rachel’s body in a gap under the stairs. Within an hour, Tanner was arrested in a Nottingham pub, and he confessed. In the video below is the original footage from April 1991: Tanner walking through the station next to the policewoman playing Rachel, and the press conference where he gives his answers with a quick smile. He got life in December 1991 and was released after 11 years. He went back to New Zealand, earned a classics degree, and in 2018 he was jailed again, this time for assaulting a partner. Police searched the house a week after she vanished and found nothing, then let him give interviews and lead a TV reconstruction while her body lay under the floor. Was it brilliant detective work, or should they have found her days earlier?

Chris Brown finally speaks out after his LA and Miami shows with Usher get canceled. “I called you my bro, not knowing you were really my enemy. After this, I’m never going on tour with you again.” “To my fans in LA and Miami, I promise I’ll be back for y’all.”

Yall wanna see what my old roommate did while in psychosis. My ex husband told her it was fine to draw on the walls of the room because he was going to wallpaper them anyways. Everytime I go in there i swear I find something new on the wall. Maybe she really was god. 🫠
