Episode Summary

Vancouver, 1989: When the body of forty-four year old nurse Cindy James is discovered in the yard of an abandoned house, her death was considered a suicide. But she was drugged, and her hands and feet bound in a way that suggested foul play. 

And what of the dozens of instances of harassment, stalking and violence that Cindy had reported over the previous seven years?

We introduce this extremely puzzling case and speak to our very special guest, forensics expert and public speaker Jennifer Rees, to get her take on what happened to Cindy James.

Episode Summary

For eleven days in 1926, Agatha Christie went missing in a set of circumstances so bizarre that the country's police force was mystified. When she was found, at a hotel in Harrogate, she seemed to have lost her memory of the whole incident. 

Was it a PR stunt? A horrible accident? Or something more mysterious?

In this episode we share our fictional 'solves' for the Queen of Crime's very own mystery.
