E13: John Christie - Midnight, Murder, and the Man at Number 10
🕯️ The House of Syx: Episode 13 — Midnight, Murders, and the Man at Number Ten
They say thirteen’s an unlucky number. But for John Christie, the quiet man behind the door at Number 10 Rillington Place, luck was never really part of the story.
In this episode, Jenn and Jared unravel how a seemingly ordinary man built a double life of control, deception, and murder—while postwar London tried to rebuild itself from ruin. From a wrongful conviction that changed British law to a chilling look inside the psychology of manipulation, this one has it all: history, horror, and the uncomfortable question of what “justice” really means.
