Who is the oldest Sabine sibling and where is she now?

As a seasoned gamer and true crime enthusiast with a knack for unraveling the most twisted tales, I must say that “The Body Next Door” has left me utterly bewildered and disturbed. The intricate web of deceit, abandonment, and tragic consequences is as chilling as it is captivating.


In terms of strange and unsettling true crime documentaries, Sky’s latest three-part series, “The Body Next Door“, certainly fits the bill. The story begins with a chilling discovery: a ‘medical skeleton’, wrapped in more than 40 layers of plastic and bound with duct tape, that is later revealed to be the remains of an unknown individual.

The documentary continues to uncover the truth about the deceased individual, eventually confirming him as John Sabine. Tragically, it was his wife, Lee Sabine, who took his life in 1997. Remarkably, she managed to hide this crime from authorities for over a decade, leading others to believe that he had abandoned her for another woman when he mysteriously disappeared in 2015.

A few weeks prior to John’s revelation of his passing, Lee unfortunately succumbed to death. Since this occurred before the reasons behind John’s death became known, no specific motive was provided for Lee’s actions except for what could be inferred from her talk with Valerie Chalkley.

During the conversation, Valerie informs Lee that he confessed: “I’m responsible for his death. I struck him repeatedly with a stone frog figure because he was annoying me.”

Valerie brushed off Lee’s comment as an eccentric joke, and John’s death went quietly undetected.

In my gaming world, even with a family of seven – yes, five together and two more from my past – I somehow managed to vanish without a trace, even though they were all right there. And here’s the twist: they didn’t notice my absence for an astonishing reason.

John and Lee maintained minimal interaction with their children after leaving them behind as teenagers in 1969. They placed the children in a daycare center in Auckland, New Zealand, allowing Lee to chase her dream of singing in cabarets – a pursuit that ultimately didn’t flourish.

In 1984, they endeavored to reconcile with their kids as adults. Yet, the relationship deteriorated when Lee failed to acknowledge his past actions of abandonment, leading to disagreements primarily between Lee and his daughter Jane.

Ultimately, the pair chose to leave them behind again, relocating to the United Kingdom only accompanied by their son Martin, affectionately known as ‘Marty’. Sadly, he faced further rejection from his parents and later made the heartbreaking decision to end his life.

In 1997, Lee and John moved again – this time to the former mining village of Beddau in Wales.

As someone who has had my fair share of experiences with family dynamics, I can empathize with John’s situation. It’s heartbreaking to see a parent yearn for a relationship with their children, but have it fall short due to lack of interest or, in this case, coercive control by another party. The power dynamic in such relationships can be insidious and damaging, making it difficult for the affected individual to navigate and maintain healthy connections. It’s essential that we recognize and address these issues to ensure a more harmonious family life for all involved.

John’s connection with his oldest kids, rekindled as grown-ups, hadn’t always been consistent or strong.

Neighbors to the right reportedly learned about John and Lee’s family troubles through three of their five kids – Steven, Jane, and Lee-Ann. These children disclosed their past hardships stemming from being abandoned as children. Interestingly, despite mentions of an older sister in the family, no substantial details or even her name were provided in the documentary, leaving her story largely untold.

So who is the oldest Sabine sibling and what happened to her?

Who is the oldest Sabine sibling in The Body Next Door?

It’s said that the eldest Sabine sibling was named Susan, according to a news article detailing the children highlighted in the documentary. Being three years senior to Steven, she would have been approximately 10 or 11 during the time of their abandonment.

The documentary barely mentions Susan, but the movie titled “The Body Next Door” displays a news article with images of all five kids belonging to Lee and John.

The article mentions Susan, who was 11 years old at the time, while Steven, Martin, Jane, and Lee-Ann were 8, 6, 5, and 2 years old respectively when the event occurred.

Where is Susan Sabine now?

During the documentary discussion about their childhood memories, Steven, Jane, and Lee-Ann don’t include Susan in their talk.

When Steven talks about leaving them, he mentions the ages of his siblings who were enrolled in the daycare, starting with himself, who was seven at the time, followed by the others in reverse age order.

Based on the documentary, it appears that Susan may have been left behind too, since John and Lee are shown to have traveled without any of their children. Additionally, a news article published the year after they left mentions Susan alongside the other kids.

Yet, it remains unclear about Susan’s circumstances, since there seems to be no trace of her online presence, aside from a brief mention in the documentary and no subsequent details provided.
