0:38

The. Oxford Murder. Ritual

0:45

Mclean had travelled back home to Blackpool,

0:48

Uk to stay with her parents during

0:50

the summer break of Nineteen Ninety. The

0:52

eighteen year old had just finished her

0:54

first year at St. Healed Is College

0:57

in Oxford, Uk where she had a

0:59

very busy schedule with school and social

1:01

groups. She was an active environmentalist and

1:04

a vegetarian, but her friends also knew

1:06

her to be a party girl that

1:08

loved heavy metal. During term break, she

1:10

worked part time jobs and donated her

1:13

time to local charities. late that summer.

1:15

Rachel and your friends were drinking

1:17

at a club called the Adam

1:19

and Eve when she met a

1:21

charming bartender with long brown hair

1:24

named John Tanner. John was from

1:26

Nottingham a few hours away and

1:28

working a summer job in Blackpool.

1:30

He was good looking, sociable, outgoing,

1:32

and funny. John. Was born

1:34

in the United Kingdom, but immigrated to New

1:36

Zealand at an early age. After.

1:39

Growing up a New Zealand, he came back

1:41

to the Uk to attend university in Nottingham

1:43

and live with his Aunt. Rachel.

1:46

And John flirted that night and she

1:48

invited him to her upcoming nineteenth birthday

1:50

party. When he showed up for her

1:52

birthday party, John and Rachel instantly hit

1:54

it off. the to slept together that

1:57

night and the relationship developed from there.

2:00

At the end of the summer, Rachel returned

2:02

to Oxford and John to Nottingham. Oxford.

2:04

Was over two hours away from Nottingham,

2:07

so they could only see each other

2:09

during occasional long weekends or holidays. John

2:11

would call are several times per week

2:13

and wrote her a steady stream of

2:16

long love letters. Over Christmas

2:18

she brought him to Blackpool to meet

2:20

her parents and her Christmas gift to

2:22

him was a Paisley tie who were

2:24

the months. John grew more and more

2:26

infatuated with Rachel, but the distance frustrated

2:28

him. He would become agitated when he

2:31

would call the flashy share before their

2:33

students to find she wasn't home. Rachel

2:35

was a busy girl involved with her

2:37

studies and her many social groups in

2:39

didn't have time to wait by the

2:41

phone for him to call. He.

2:43

Grew increasingly jealous and worried that she

2:46

was seeing other men. Her.

2:48

Roommates notice that they regularly argued

2:50

over the phone about his jealousy

2:52

issues. Though. She wouldn't

2:54

tell him directly. Rachel felt annoyed

2:56

by his jealousy and thought he

2:59

was overly possessive. On. February

3:01

Eleventh. She mailed him a Valentine's Day

3:03

card where she wrote to my one

3:05

and only John, the one who was

3:07

with me through the most wondrous moments

3:10

of my life. But. On the

3:12

same day, she wrote her true feelings

3:14

privately in her diary. What? A

3:16

joke. I just wrote Johns Valentine's

3:18

card full of sweet pure words.

3:21

Words. That I shoveled out of some fountain

3:23

inside of me. A fountain that

3:26

dried and cracked somehow. I don't

3:28

think you would have appreciated sweet

3:30

nothings along the lines of you

3:32

sick, childish bastard unaware of her

3:34

true feelings that Valentine's day, he

3:36

professed his love to Rachel and

3:38

asked her to marry him. To.

3:41

His disappointment: she turned him down.

3:43

In. April. Rachel spent the Easter break

3:46

with her parents in Blackpool. The.

3:48

Saturday after Easter, Rachel's mother drove

3:50

her back down Oxford. After dropping

3:52

her off, her mother headed back

3:54

to Blackpool around four pm. And.

3:56

John arrived at seven thirty pm to spend the

3:59

rest of the week with her. That.

4:01

Sunday was a lazy day at home for the

4:03

couple. Rachel's. Roommates hadn't returned

4:05

from the holidays yet, so Rachel and

4:08

John had the flat to themselves. Rachel

4:10

had term exams the following week, so

4:12

she studied in the front room or

4:15

John watch football. John was an avid

4:17

Nottingham fan and they were playing West

4:19

Ham and the As A Cup semifinals.

4:22

The. Following day, John took the Six fifty

4:24

five train back to Nottingham from the

4:26

Oxford train station. Later. That

4:28

week, when her roommates returned home, Rachel

4:30

wasn't there. Her bedroom windows were open

4:33

and nothing seemed to be out of

4:35

place. They. Thought it was odd

4:37

that Rachel was a busy girl, so

4:39

they weren't really concerned. John.

4:41

Tried to call Rachel on Wednesday big got

4:43

no answer. Then. Tried again the

4:45

following day and as usual, left

4:47

messages with her roommates. The next

4:50

day Thursday, a letter from John

4:52

arrived in the mailbox. He had

4:54

mailed it as soon as he

4:56

returned to Nottingham. My. Dearest

4:58

Lovely Rachel, Thank you for such

5:00

a lovely weekend! Please excuse the

5:03

handwriting as I am now sadly

5:05

wending my way away from your

5:07

smiling face. Fancy.

5:09

Seeing that friend of yours at the station.

5:12

At. Least you didn't have to get a bus home.

5:14

It. Was nice of him to give you a lift. But.

5:17

I hate him because he has longer hair

5:19

than me. Ah, It's nice to

5:21

know that you will not be alone for the next

5:23

few days. I. Worry for you in

5:26

that house on your own. He. Wasn't

5:28

until four days later on April nineteenth

5:30

when Rachel didn't show up for an

5:32

appointment with her tutor that they knew

5:35

something was not right. Rachel would never

5:37

miss that appointment. her tutor reported her

5:39

missing. Police. Originally didn't take

5:41

the missing persons report with much

5:44

urgency. They. Receive reports of

5:46

dozens of missing students every month

5:48

in Oxford. Investigators.

5:50

Began their search for Rachel at the

5:52

flat she was sharing with for their

5:54

students Victoria Claire, Margaret. Smith.

5:57

Sarah. Hume. And Joe for

5:59

me. During the questioning, her roommates

6:01

showed police the letter the John had

6:04

mailed to Rachel from Nottingham. The.

6:06

Contents of the letter let them know that

6:08

John was the last person to have contact

6:10

with her. Except. For an unknown

6:12

man at the Oxford train station. Nothing.

6:15

Seemed out of place during the first

6:17

inspections of the house, there were no

6:20

obvious signs of foul play. Initial examinations

6:22

of the floorboard showed no signs of

6:24

tampering, but when police later found her

6:26

diary, they could see that John's letter

6:29

didn't quite add up. From

6:31

Rachel's diary, they could clearly see that

6:33

John was very possessive a Rachel. In

6:36

his letter he wrote of the long haired

6:38

stranger the gave her a ride back home.

6:41

But that. Wasn't john style to be

6:43

so tolerant of another man taking her

6:45

home. From. Her diary. They

6:47

could tell that John would have been jealous

6:50

of the stranger That would never have sat

6:52

well with John. A second letter

6:54

from John arrived to Rachel's flat. In it,

6:56

John wrote. I've tried calling you

6:58

all week but I guess who working

7:00

a call would be appreciated. The.

7:02

Following Monday on April Twenty Second Police

7:05

spoke to John Tanner in the first

7:07

of many interviews. He. Expressed his

7:09

concern for Rachel's whereabouts. He told police

7:12

that Rachel and woken up earlier than

7:14

him the previous Monday to study while

7:16

he slept in until around noon. He

7:19

then soured and got ready to take the

7:21

train back to Nottingham. He. Said

7:24

they made love in the afternoon and

7:26

the two of them took the bus

7:28

to the Oxford train station around for

7:30

fifteen pm. John explained that

7:32

while they were at Oxford Station waiting

7:34

for his six fifty five Pm train,

7:36

they ran into a friend of Rachel's

7:38

in the cafe where the three of

7:40

them sat and had coffee. He.

7:43

Described the man is having long hair,

7:45

ripped jeans, and a black leather jacket.

7:48

The. Description was essentially the same as

7:50

a description of himself. John.

7:52

Explained that he didn't remember the man's name is

7:54

he didn't think it was important that the time.

7:57

He. Told the police that the mystery man offered

7:59

to take Rachel back to her house so

8:01

she wouldn't have to take the bus home.

8:04

John. Said that he and Rachel had

8:06

embraced and kissed on the platform before

8:08

his train arrived. Then he boarded the

8:10

train back to Nottingham. Police. Didn't

8:13

buy a story and he quickly became

8:15

their prime suspect. That. Same

8:17

day police went public with the

8:19

news of Rachel's disappearance. Detective Bound

8:22

said. Although. We could

8:24

not admit it publicly. It seemed from

8:26

the outset that some harm had befallen

8:28

her. There. Was no reason for

8:30

her to run away. She was a

8:32

happy girl with a good background, loving

8:34

parents, and a bright future. Police.

8:37

Assigned to police officers that befriended John

8:40

Tanner, they made him believe they were

8:42

just updating him on their search for

8:44

Rachel, but they were actually watching him.

8:47

They. Were watching his reactions to the news

8:49

of the search, his body language, and

8:51

generally just monitoring what he was up

8:53

to. The. Search of

8:55

the neighboring area was extensive. Police.

8:58

Went door to door in her neighborhood

9:01

asking neighbors if they'd seen her, noticed

9:03

anything suspicious, Officers. Use

9:05

sniffer dogs to com through the nearby

9:07

scrub land, and frog men were sent

9:09

to drag the nearby river Cherwell. Investigators

9:12

search the house once again, but

9:15

again they sound no clues. Nine.

9:17

Days after Rachel's disappearance, her parents

9:20

Joan and Malcolm held a press

9:22

conference hoping that it might help

9:24

find their daughter. As.

9:26

With many mysteries like this, many

9:29

calls came into the police with

9:31

clues but nothing panned out. Police.

9:33

Ask John to help them put together

9:36

a sketch of the mystery man from

9:38

the train station. When. The sketch

9:40

was released to the public. No one came

9:42

forward with any information. Rachel.

9:44

Had been missing for two weeks and

9:46

detectives assume the worst. They. Believed

9:48

she was dead and started searching

9:50

sewers and says pets around the Oxford

9:53

area. But. Ultimately, their efforts

9:55

were futile. Detectives.

9:57

Still believe the John Tanner had.

10:00

The older, but they needed to get more information

10:02

out of him. Surprisingly.

10:04

Tanner agree to take part in a

10:06

press conference and a reconstruction of your

10:08

last moments together at the Oxford train

10:10

Station. Ten saw it as

10:12

an opportunity to portray himself as

10:14

cooperatives and wanting to help with

10:16

the investigation. Police.

10:18

Wanted to invoke the help of the

10:20

media and asked the local television station

10:23

to present certain questions to him during

10:25

the press conference to see how he

10:27

would react. During a press

10:29

conference, reporters mentioned that his description of

10:32

the mystery man was must like the

10:34

description of himself. He. replied.

10:37

I. Had nothing to do with her disappearance.

10:39

I know what people are saying. As

10:42

instructed by the police, they asked him

10:44

directly if he believed she was still

10:46

alive. His response was i did not

10:48

Killer I don't know what happened to

10:50

her. In my heart of hearts I

10:52

know she is still alive. However,

10:55

In the video he spoke with a

10:57

slight smirk on his face. That

11:00

did not sit well with the public or the

11:02

police. When. The reporters asked if

11:04

he had a message for anyone that may

11:06

be holding Rachel against or will. He said

11:08

I would appeal to them to come forward

11:11

and tell us. Just. Out

11:13

of sheer consideration for her mother

11:15

and father and myself. Will

11:22

be back to true crime sleep stories right

11:24

after this message. You're.

11:30

About to listen to a trailer for

11:32

season three of the Daily Bedtime Tail

11:35

Podcast. Enjoy! And. Sociological turns.

11:37

The call it the Fundamental attribution.

11:40

Basically it means that. When people see

11:42

someone in a bad situations, they

11:45

tend to believe that individual brooded.

11:49

The. Defeating the. This before I became known

11:51

as. Much as

11:53

the source. This is

11:55

the story of. Series

11:58

of choices. Your life

12:00

upside down. But what if there's an

12:03

escape? For a moment, I

12:05

close my eyes. Let. Tears flow

12:07

down my face. And

12:09

want to go home. I

12:11

want to get in my car and drive back across the

12:14

country. To New York. I

12:18

have torched and burned every. Bridge behind

12:20

me. He. Sent me to

12:22

me. I have no friends

12:24

list. When my restaurant was

12:26

feeling. I lied, I cheated.

12:29

And I manipulated. I

12:31

destroyed people. Hurt the

12:33

ones I must. One night.

12:42

And then I hear. This

12:46

woman doing. April

12:48

the pacific will be reached.

12:50

The see her standing hip

12:52

feet and water. She closed

12:54

her eyes and then she

12:56

does Under. I

12:58

run into the water and feel the

13:00

icy tell it won't take long for

13:02

her or me to go. Now to

13:04

succumb to the core. She's

13:07

moving away from me but slows.

13:10

Her legs kick weekly, her arms

13:12

barely move. See his

13:14

face is clear. And

13:17

then she stops moving altogether and her

13:19

body doesn't. For

13:21

long dark hair. Floats around her like sea

13:23

snakes. With a few strong

13:25

strokes, I am on her. I

13:28

reach out and grab her jacket, drag her

13:30

toward the stuff. If

13:33

I hadn't heard her price, a

13:35

stranger would have ranked as she

13:37

clearly intended. He

13:39

should have left me. I don't want to

13:41

be here. Little

13:43

did know this encounter would change

13:45

her life forever. Listen

14:46

the reconstruction, Tanner and a police officer that

14:49

played the role of Rachel stood on the

14:51

platform at the train station arm in arm.

14:54

Then an actor dressed as his description of

14:56

the mystery man met them at the cafe

14:58

in the station, and they sat at a

15:01

table and had coffee. Local

15:03

television channels repeatedly aired the

15:05

reconstruction. When John Tanner

15:08

took part in the reconstruction of their

15:10

last moments together, he thought no one

15:12

would remember a random couple at a

15:14

train station two weeks prior. But

15:16

he was wrong. Two witnesses

15:18

distinctly remembered John Tanner on April

15:20

15th at the Oxford train station.

15:23

But they remembered him alone, not

15:25

with a girl and not with

15:27

another man. An Oxford resident

15:30

named Jane Wynn Jones told police

15:32

that she had sat next to

15:34

him at the station. She

15:36

described, he was

15:38

agitated and seemed to be shuffling a lot and

15:40

going in and out of a bag which was

15:42

on the floor next to him. He

15:44

brought out a pad with a thin paper and lines

15:46

on it. He was writing in black

15:49

ink. Police now believe this

15:51

was when Tanner penned the letter to

15:53

Rachel that he later sent from Nottingham.

15:56

Other parts of John's story started to fall

15:58

apart as well. People claimed that

16:00

he and Rachel boarded a city bus

16:02

at 4.15pm that day, but Oxford buses

16:05

electronically kept track of how many people

16:07

boarded and paid at each stop on

16:09

their route. On the

16:11

day and time of that stop,

16:13

only one person boarded that bus,

16:15

John Tanner. Police

16:17

still believed the body of Rachel Maclean

16:19

was in the house somewhere. It

16:22

wasn't until they contacted the Oxford

16:24

Council to get detailed layouts of

16:26

the home on Argyle Street that

16:28

they realized the houses on the

16:30

street were underpinned. This

16:32

meant there were small cavities of

16:34

airspace beneath the floorboards. On

16:37

Thursday, May 2, 19

16:39

days after Rachel was last seen,

16:41

detectives went back to the house

16:43

once again for a more thorough

16:45

examination. When they

16:48

crawled into the cupboards beneath the stairwell

16:50

and pulled up the floorboards, they found

16:52

the body of Rachel Maclean. Her

16:54

body had been crammed in a small

16:56

space only 8 inches high. The

16:59

cold outdoor temperatures at that time of

17:01

year had slowed the decomposition of the

17:04

body, and the ventilation of the house

17:06

underpinning allowed any odors to go undetected

17:08

for 19 days. Within

17:11

an hour of finding the body, John

17:13

Tanner was arrested in a pub in

17:15

Nottingham. Initially, Tanner refused to

17:17

answer any questions posed by the

17:19

police, but the following day he

17:21

broke down and admitted that he had killed

17:23

his girlfriend. Tanner explained

17:26

that on Sunday evening, after watching the

17:28

football game, he again asked her

17:30

for her hand in marriage, but again

17:32

she turned him down. As he

17:34

begged her, she became aggravated with him and

17:36

told him that she didn't want to be

17:38

engaged. He wrote in his

17:40

confession that when she told him she

17:43

didn't want to be engaged, he was

17:45

offended, and must have snapped.

17:48

I flew at her in a rage and

17:50

proceeded to put my hands around her neck,

17:52

Tanner told police. I

17:54

Think I must have lost control because I

17:56

have only a vague recollection of the

17:58

time that elapsed afterwards. I'm. Bewildered!

18:00

why have done such a terrible thing to

18:03

a person I love dearly. She.

18:05

Told him that she wanted to give

18:07

him a reason why she didn't want

18:09

to get engaged. The to argued about

18:11

it and then she told him that

18:13

she had been sleeping with other people.

18:17

Ten. Or then called her a tart and

18:19

she raised her hand as if she was

18:21

going to strike him and he said he

18:23

lost control. Ten. Or recalled lunging

18:25

at her and moving his hands toward

18:27

your neck. Medical. Examiner said

18:29

there was evidence of a luggage her being

18:31

used on her neck, but Tanner claims to

18:33

have blacked out and only remember sitting on

18:36

the bed with her body on the for.

18:39

Police. Believe did he use the

18:41

Paisley ties he gave him for Christmas

18:43

to strangle her? Ten or

18:45

picked up Rachel's dead body and later on the bed

18:47

and then slept on the floor next to her bed.

18:50

The. Following day, he spent the day pulling

18:53

up the floorboards under the stairs and

18:55

managed to get her through a tiny

18:57

aliens gap to the area beneath the

18:59

floorboards. He then took a

19:01

bus to Oxford train station and cop

19:03

the six fifty five pm train back

19:05

to Nottingham. As.

19:07

He waited in the station for the train.

19:09

He wrote a letter to Rachel in an

19:11

attempt to make it appear that he believed

19:14

her to still be alive and place suspicion

19:16

on the mystery man. He mailed

19:18

the letter when he got home the Nottingham. In

19:21

the days following, he called her

19:23

home twice and mailed another letter

19:25

in Siebel attempt to solidify his

19:27

alibi. Despite. His confession

19:29

seven months later. in December, Nineteen

19:32

Ninety One. John Tanner

19:34

pleaded not guilty. He.

19:36

Admitted to killing her but he claimed

19:38

it was not murder. Tanner.

19:40

Knew that he would be handed a

19:42

life sentence if he admitted to murder

19:44

and would serve about fifteen years. If.

19:47

He was convicted of manslaughter on the

19:49

grounds of diminished responsibility. He would only get

19:51

about eight years in prison and could be

19:54

out in four or five years. It.

19:56

Was an easy choice. Tanner.

19:59

Played the role. The poor boyfriend and

20:01

court. He. Tried to convince a

20:03

jury that he was a loving, caring

20:05

boyfriend that only wanted to marry his

20:08

one true love rather than a possessive

20:10

control freak. He. Claim that

20:12

Rachel provoked him to lose his self

20:14

control. He also told the

20:16

court the Rachel would tease him because he

20:19

was unable to perform sexually because of pain

20:21

in his groin. Ultimately, his

20:23

please didn't help him. And

20:25

after four hours of deliberation, the

20:28

jury came back with a ten

20:30

to two majority guilty verdict. At

20:33

his sentencing. Judge Kennedy

20:35

told Tanner. I.

20:37

Entirely accept that she was precious to

20:39

you, but this was a savage attack

20:41

and your conduct afterwards up until the

20:44

time when her body was found did

20:46

nothing to ameliorate the gravity of the

20:48

offense. Despite.

20:50

It all Rachel's mother said the she

20:53

Forgave Tanner. I think we

20:55

feel the same way. We've always felt that

20:57

this is a tragedy for him in his

20:59

life as well. Yes, I

21:01

think we can forgive and because otherwise

21:03

it eats into your life and the

21:05

lives of others around you. If.

21:07

You start on the path of forgiveness. You

21:10

can start to build a new mice and

21:12

all the people around you can build new

21:14

lives. Twenty. Two

21:16

Roll John Tanner was sentenced to life

21:18

in prison, but that's not the end

21:20

of the story. While.

21:23

In prison, he formed an odd

21:25

relationship with a woman named see

21:29

striking resemblance to Rachel Mcclain.

21:39

see of on his his girlfriend and

21:50

she looked into the possibility of Tanner

21:55

She. Eventually moved to New Zealand and

21:58

taught at Wang and I. Allegiance

22:00

22:11

New Zealand. It. Is unknown whether

22:13

Tanner got together with Sea Urban House

22:15

upon his return to New Zealand. But.

22:17

He was back in the news again in two

22:19

thousand and eighteen. Over a

22:22

period of six months in two

22:24

thousand and seventeen, Tanner abuses girlfriend

22:26

22:42

One March, Twenty seventeen And

22:44

Twenty seven. September Twenty seventeen.

22:47

Whilst. There was an argument. She told

22:49

you she was leaving you. You.

22:51

In response, told her that she was not

22:53

and that you would kill her. She.

22:56

Did not take the threat seriously. Then you

22:58

jumped on top of her. Put. Both

23:00

hands across her neck restricting your breathing.

23:03

As a consequence, she's suffered soreness in

23:05

her throat area. You.

23:07

Held her down straddling her. You were

23:09

yelling at her about her ex partner.

23:12

You. Used your hands to deliver blows.

23:15

Slashed her face and head a number

23:17

of times. You. Then punched

23:19

or twice around the head with a

23:21

closed fist. At that point she had

23:23

suffered a graze and bruising to the

23:25

left side of her forehead. She became

23:27

worried and sad against the headboard on

23:30

the bed. With her knees up. You

23:32

walked over, pulled her pants down and

23:34

underwear off, saying he wanted to have

23:36

sex. It was said in

23:38

a blunt and aggressive matter. You then demanded

23:40

that she remove her Sim card from her

23:43

phone and as he attempted to get away

23:45

from her, you grabbed her by the shirt,

23:47

pulling her forward and punching her several times

23:49

in the head. The. Victim fell

23:52

onto the floor and attempted to shield her

23:54

face from the blows. you punched

23:56

the victim around the head and face several

23:58

more times Mr. Tanner,

24:00

it is, of course, and never

24:03

has been acceptable for violence within

24:05

a family context. You

24:07

have one significant aggravated factor.

24:10

It is your previous conviction for murder.

24:14

Your uttering of your intent to have sex

24:16

with her is a disturbing element. That

24:19

you ripped her clothing off can only

24:21

be seen in this context as an

24:23

act of violent domination and control over

24:25

your victim. On

24:27

charge 3, injuring with intent to

24:29

injure, the sentence is one of

24:31

two years, nine months. On

24:33

charge 1 and charge 2, there will

24:36

be one year's imprisonment concurrent on each.
