The Rest Is History

498. Evita: The Mystery of the Missing Body (Part 5)


Listen Later

After lying in state in an open casket, Evita’s corpse is taken down to a secret laboratory in the basement. And as the Argentinian Victor Frankenstein, Dr Ara, busily embalms her body, her ghost continues to haunt the nation. Sightings of her face are reported in obscure places all over the country.


With Evita gone, Colonel Perón embarks upon an affair with a much younger girl and has a creepily paternal romantic relationship with her. Meanwhile, as Perón’s sparkle starts to fade amongst the public, Evita’s body vanishes…


Listen as Dominic and Tom explore the final and most bizarre chapter in the extraordinary story of Evita Perón.
