Sarah Turney: 本集讨论了辛迪·詹姆斯失踪案,警方认定辛迪自杀并伪装成谋杀,但其家人和专家对此表示异议,案件疑点重重,至今未解。从1982年开始,辛迪遭受长达七年的跟踪骚扰,包括威胁电话、信件、破坏房屋、袭击等,多次受伤,甚至险些丧命。警方调查中,多次测谎失败,证词矛盾,验尸报告也存在疑点。辛迪的家人和私人调查员认为辛迪是被谋杀的,而警方则坚持认为辛迪是自杀。 Cindy James's family: 辛迪不可能自杀,她遭受了长达七年的跟踪骚扰,身心俱疲,但从未放弃希望。她知道袭击者是谁,但因为对警方的失望而没有透露。警方没有尽力保护她,调查不力,导致案件真相至今未明。 Police: 辛迪编造了所有袭击事件,并在无人监视时自残。他们认为辛迪策划了一场精心策划的自杀,并伪装成谋杀。他们调查了辛迪的住所和车辆,没有发现任何强闯入的迹象。他们认为辛迪在案发前服用过量药物,并自己绑缚了自己。 Experts: 专家们对辛迪的精神状态和死因提出了不同的看法。一些专家认为辛迪患有精神疾病,可能存在多重人格,她编造的故事是真实存在的,她可能在不知不觉中伤害自己。另一些专家则认为辛迪的死因不明,需要进一步调查。 Cindy James's private investigator: 辛迪不可能自杀,她从未放弃希望,她知道袭击者是谁,但因为对警方的失望而没有透露。警方没有尽力保护她,调查不力,导致案件真相至今未明。 Dr. Roy Makepeace: 罗伊否认对辛迪进行任何威胁或伤害,并表示自己与辛迪的骚扰事件无关。 Dr. Connolly: 康诺利医生认为辛迪可能患有多重人格障碍。 Dr. Friesen: 弗里森医生认为辛迪患有解离性障碍,她编造的故事是真实存在的,她可能在不知不觉中伤害自己。 Dr. Tony Marcus: 马库斯医生诊断辛迪患有边缘性人格障碍,认为她会伤害自己并试图让别人承担责任。 Dr. Sheila Carlyle: 卡莱尔医生认为案发现场存在不一致之处,她认为存在谋杀的可能性。

Cindy James, a 44-year-old woman, disappeared in 1989 after enduring nearly 100 incidents of harassment from a stalker over seven years. Her body was found drugged and strangled, and the police concluded it was a staged suicide, despite her family's belief in her innocence.

Shownotes Transcript

On May 25, 1989, 44-year-old Cindy James disappeared from Richmond, British Columbia, in Canada. Immediately, Cindy’s friends and family were worried for her safety because, for about seven years, she had suffered almost 100 incidents of harassment from a stalker. These incidents ranged from threatening phone calls and letters to physical attacks that almost killed Cindy.

 

Searches for Cindy began immediately. Then, two weeks later, Cindy’s body was found in the yard of an abandoned house around a mile from where she was last seen. She’d been drugged and strangled. 

 

After a month of investigating, police concluded that Cindy had completed suicide in an elaborate ruse staged to look like a murder. They further alleged that she’d faked all the incidents of harassment over the years. But Cindy’s family and many experts disagree. 

 

Anyone with information about Cindy James is urged to contact the RCMP tip line at 1800-222-8477.
