The Body Next Door, a three-part Sky Documentary series, focuses on the true tale of Leigh and the disappearance of her husband, John Sabine, who was last seen alive in 1997.
Michelle would be initially detained as a homicide suspect following the discovery, unless DNA tests determined that the remains belonged to John.
The police conducted a more thorough investigation into Leigh’s life after they received confirmation that the body belonged to John.
The police would subsequently discover that John and Leigh had previously resided in Australia and had welcomed five children together. They subsequently abandoned the family at an orphanage in New Zealand.
The police concluded that John had perished in the late 1990s after conducting a more thorough investigation into the pyjamas found on his body and the shopping bags used in the wrapping.
