Cindy James

Cindy James, a recently-divorced nurse from British Columbia, begins living alone for the first time in her adult life. About a month into her new living situation she begins receiving terrifying calls. The caller starts leaving notes for Cindy, on her car or at her house and his behavior escalates quickly. He vandalizes her property, breaks into her house, and physically attacks her several times. During the physical attacks, the stalker usually strangles Cindy with black nylon stockings by tying them tightly around her neck before leaving. Cindy seeks help from The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, but they are unable to find evidence that can lead them to the stalker. They look very closely into her ex-husband, Dr. Roy Makepeace, but there's not enough evidence to suggest it's him. Eventually, the RCMP suspect Cindy is the one responsible for her torment. Her case becomes even more confusing when she goes missing, eight years after the stalking begins. She is found dead in the yard of an abandoned home, hog-tied with black nylon stockings tied around her neck and a hole I'm her arm suggesting she had been injected with something. Despite a lengthy coroner's inquest, there is no definitive answer to what happened to Cindy James.TikTok: DarkoriginspodInstagram: DarkoriginspodcastE-mail: [email protected]:Hall, Neal. “Cindy’s Torment.” The Vancouver Sun, 31 Dec. 1990, p. 6, www.newspapers.com/article/77616793/ore-from-neal-halls-book/.
