Halloween Special: The Baffling Case of Cindy James

Halloween Special: The Baffling Case of Cindy James

For our first Halloween special episode, we tackle one of the creepiest, most confounding, most fascinating cases we've ever encountered. For six and a half years, Vancouver nurse Cindy James was the victim of stalking, threats, vandalism, physical attacks and terrifying phone calls. Several times she was discovered unconscious and bruised with a black nylon stocking tied tightly around her neck. Her tormenter left notes that said things like BEHEAD; CINDY, SOON; and WE ARE WATCHING. Her house was set ablaze. Dead animals were left hanging in her front yard. And the Royal Canadian Mounted Police couldn't find out who was doing any of it. Eventually, they came to a shocking conclusion--Cindy was doing it herself, possibly without realizing it. This stunned and infuriated Cindy's family, friends, private investigator and psychiatrist, but the police were convinced. The investigation stalled. And then, one afternoon in May 1989, Cindy went missing. Her car was found in a shopping center parking lot, blood on the driver's side door, signs of a struggle strewn about. Two weeks later, her body was found in the yard of an abandoned house, hog tied and barefoot with a stocking tied around her neck. Was Cindy the victim of murder? Was it a suicide staged to look like a murder? Or was something else going on? This case is bizarre from start to finish; this description barely scratches the surface! We can't wait to hear your theories.
