Cindy James was a 44-year-old woman from the Vancouver, B.C. area. She lived a distraught and difficult life - and, allegedly she was plagued most of her life by a stalker who simply would not leave her alone. Over a 7-year period, she would be harassed by an unknown individual, leading to more than 100 police reports of stalking. They would call her to threaten her or breathe into the phone until she hung up in a panic. They would lurk around her home at night, even going as far as to cut her phone line. Authorities were puzzled by the lack of evidence and many believed that Cindy was making up the whole thing for attention.

Everything would come to a head when Cindy disappeared in May of 1989. Just two weeks later, her body would be found at the abandoned house, battered, bruised, strangled and bound. In what looked like an apparent homicide, the police would take a different approach to their investigation. They believed that this was all a part of Cindy’s mental health issues and she had likely unalived herself, making it appear like murder - but Cindy’s family firmly believed that she had finally been killed by her long-time stalker and a murderer was allowed to walk free.
