Om avsnittet

The murder of Rachel McLean sent a chill through Britain in 1991. Rachel, a nineteen-year-old Oxford University student, vanished from her home, and her boyfriend, John Tanner, wept in front of the cameras as he appealed for her safe return, even taking part in a police reconstruction of her final movements. But Rachel had never left. She was hidden beneath the floorboards of her own home, where Tanner had put her after he strangled her. This is the story of the performance that slowly unravelled, and the detectives who saw through the grieving boyfriend. On Crime at Bedtime, settle in, get comfortable, and let us tell you the story of the murder of Rachel McLean.
