former police officer has told GB News that she has been forced into hiding and has endured an “onslaught” of threats on social media after being wrongly identified as being involved in the Henry Nowak case.
Christi Hill told Ben Leo on The Late Show Live: “It’s just been horrendous for the last couple of days, especially yesterday. It was really fast moving.
“You feel like you lose control of it almost immediately, and even with amazing people like yourself trying to put it right, it goes away with itself.”
Asked about what kind of abuse she has been receiving, she said: “Death threats, threats of extreme violence, trying to find family, people that know me, people saying that I shouldn’t be put in a position like I have been. It’s been really tough to read it and it’s just been an absolute onslaught.
“I left Hampshire Constabulary in April 2024 and the tragic event with Henry Nowak happened in December 2025 so it’s impossible for me to have been anywhere near the incident.”
She said there has been a lack of communication with Hampshire police: “I’ve had communications with them, where I’ve asked, could you please just use my name, use the photo again if need be, be very, very clear that I had nothing to do with that incident and wasn’t a serving police officer at the time of the incident, it needn’t be anything any more than that, and I’ve had nothing in return.”
Christi told GB News that she has been forced to re-locate: “I spoke with them, they accepted the risk due to the online onslaught, and they agreed to move me to a safe location, which they have.
“Other than that, I’ve had next to no communication from them whatsoever, and to be quite honest, I feel really let down.
“I resigned in 2024 after 11 years and a great career, enjoyed it. However, couldn’t feel more let down right now if I tried.”
On what she wants to happen now, she said: “A call for action on fairness. We work on evidence, and the evidence is there that I had absolutely nothing to do with that incident.
“Please, just be clear and clear my name and anybody else’s name that has been wrongly identified.
“The messages have been coming from a global aspect. This is not just an isolated incident in a small area. This has gone far and wide. Not only is my name known, my face is everywhere on this.
“It’s really worrying. It’s really scary. Loads of people have been trying to do such a great job in trying to clear my name, but it’s spread like wildfire.
“I work in private security now, which it is a sensitive industry in its own right, and moving forward, it’s unfair and unjust that my name hasn’t been cleared to keep my reputation professionally as well as personally.
“The ongoing effect for me is colossal, as with anybody else who’s been wrongly identified, it’s wholly unfair at this time.”
She added: “Please, if you’re trying to get a message across and you have an opinion, please get your facts right before you do it.
“I know it’s so easy to hit that like button and to hit that share button, but the effect at the end of it, if that information is false and it’s come from a false place, and it’s been completely blown out of proportion.
“The damage is colossal, resulting in people having to keep out the way, be moved, relocated, lives turned upside down, and potentially a career that could be take a different direction to what you expect. It’s damning.”
Asked when she was last contact by Hampshire police, she said: “I heard from them this morning to say that I would be allocated a welfare officer, and I haven’t heard from them since.
“It’s easy for people to say, ‘Don’t check it for a while, put your phone down’. Your phone is life, and I’m in position where I’m genuinely scared, there’s a real fear for my safety here, if I was to go out, so why wouldn’t I look at my phone to see what’s going on?
“It’s a horrendous cycle, and I feel like it’s one that I’ve now been kept in by Hampshire Constabulary not doing the right thing, and just clearing a name, rather than the whole situation.
“It could have been squashed days ago and that’s sad.”
