The Mysterious Death of Cindy James- Part 1
Send us a text
In May 1989, forty-four-year-old nurse Cindy James vanished from Richmond, British Columbia after years of reporting that someone was stalking her. When her car was found parked outside a local bank—groceries and purse still inside—friends knew something was terribly wrong. In this first part of a two-part investigation, host Nicci Ruth retraces Cindy’s final day and the mystery that unfolded that night. Through witness accounts, investigative reports, and a haunting look at who Cindy was before the fear took hold, we follow the trail from an ordinary Thursday to an extraordinary disappearance that would baffle police for decades.
