Ozzie 23 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: Caban gave Cindy a panic button, which she made a 24 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: habit of carrying with her wherever she went. The button 25 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: set off an alarm in Coban's office, which would then 26 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: in turn alert Coband to notify the police that she 27 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: was in trouble. In October nineteen eighty eight, Cindy triggered 28 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: the alarm. When police arrived at her home minutes later, 29 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: they found her car parked up in the garage, with 30 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: Cindy unconscious in the driver's seat, partially naked from the 31 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: waist down, with her legs dangling out of the open door. 32 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: Duct tape had been stuck over her mouth, and yet 33 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: another pair of black nylon stockings had been tied around 34 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: her neck. Her hands had also been tied behind her back. 35 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: By the time she made it to hospital, Cindy was 36 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: in a coma when she finally woke up. All she 37 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: seemed to remember of the incident was returning home in 38 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: the car that afternoon, and then being attacked by one 39 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: or two men just as she was about to get 40 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: out of it. Once again. Police made a thorough search 41 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: of the crime scene, and once again they found nothing 42 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: to suggest that anyone else had been involved in the 43 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 1: apparent attack. By the spring of nineteen eighty nine, Cindy 44 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: had triggered her panic alarm four more times. She also 45 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: received another intimidating note, this time left on her car 46 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: windscreen and discovered by a security guard at Richmond Hospital 47 00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: where she worked. It read simply Soon Cindy. One afternoon 48 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: in May nineteen eighty nine, Cindy met with her friend 49 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: and colleague Anne in the canteen at the hospital where 50 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: they worked. Looking back on the meeting, Anne recalled that 51 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: Cindy was in a buoyant mood and eagerly awaiting the 52 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: five days leave she had coming up. On Thursday, May 53 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: twenty fifth, Cindy spoke with another good friend, Marion Christensen, 54 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: on the phone. Marion, who often made the effort to 55 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: check in with Cindy to make sure she was doing okay, 56 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: had called to tell Cindy that she was planning a 57 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: trip to Vancouver Island in the next few days. She 58 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: hoped that they might be able to see each other. 59 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: On the call, Cindy told Marion about her fears that 60 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: things were beginning to escalate again after months without incident, 61 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: and that she'd sometimes felt too scared to even leave 62 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: the house. In spite of this, however, overall, she'd seen 63 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: happy and was looking forward to attending her friend's son's 64 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: ate the birthday party that weekend. It was shortly after 65 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: that call that Cindy drove out to Blundell Shopping Center 66 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: on Blundell Road to get some advice about what skincare 67 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: products she could use to combat a problem that had 68 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: recently flared up on her face. After that, she headed 69 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: back to work to collect her paycheck. Arriving a little early, 70 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,799 Speaker 1: she met her friend Diane for a quick coffee. Diane 71 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: remembered the moment well, especially how good Cindy looked after 72 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: her visit to the moor, which she complimented her on. 73 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 1: The pair spoke a bit about the recent break ins 74 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: at Cindy's house and how Cindy was otherwise in good spirits. However, 75 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: she also remembered Cindy being worried that things might be 76 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: too quiet, as if something terrible was about to happen. 77 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: The pair arranged to have dinner the following evening before 78 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: saying their goodbyes. Cindy picked up her page shortly after. 79 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: Her colleague Tammy, who handed it to her, later remembered 80 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 1: thinking it was the happiest she'd seen Cindy in a while. 81 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: Soon after, at the home of Cindy's friends, Agnes and 82 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: Tom Woodcock, Agnes received a call from Cindy. She was 83 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: back at the Blundell Center hoping to find a present 84 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: for her friend's son's upcoming birthday. The pair spoke for 85 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: a short time, making arrangements to meet at Cindy's apartment 86 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: later that evening to play bridge and stay the night. 87 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: It was the last time Agnes would ever speak to 88 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: her friend. As they had arranged, the Woodcocks arrived at 89 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: Cindy's home on Claysmith Road at ten pm. Normally, Agnes 90 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: liked to beat the horn when they drove up to 91 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: let Cindy know. They derived Cindy would always appear at 92 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: the window to wave hello. That night, however, she never appeared. 93 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: As Agnes and Tom drew up to the door, they 94 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: noticed too that Cindy's blue Chevrolet's Citation wasn't in the drive. 95 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: Having got no response from knocking on the door, they 96 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: tried Cindy's neighbor, but he hadn't seen her since she 97 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: headed off to the shopping mall six hours earlier. Agnes 98 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: and Tom returned to their car and waited. When they'd 99 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: spoken on the phone earlier, Cindy said she'd be home 100 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: before dark, and it wasn't like her to be late. 101 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: After twenty minutes, the couple decided to head home and 102 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: call the police, but first drive to the Blundell Center 103 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: just in case she might still be there. The center 104 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: had long since closed when the Woodcocks pulled up into 105 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: the parking lot, which they found completely empty except for 106 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: one car parked up in the middle of it, Cindy Chevrolet. 107 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: Pulling up to it, Agnes left the headlights on as 108 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: she and Tom went over to check it out. Inside, 109 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: they spotted some bags of groceries on the front seat, 110 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: but no sign of Cindy. Now deeply concerned, the Woodcocks 111 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: drove straight to the nearest police station, arriving around eleven 112 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: p m. Heading straight to the front desk, they reported 113 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: to the staffer on duty that Cindy had seemingly disappeared. However, 114 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: since it hadn't been twenty four hours, the officer told 115 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: them to go away and come back the following day. Recently, 116 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: a constable named Jerry Anderson had taken on Cindy's file 117 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: and had told her or her friends to contact him 118 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: if ever anything suspicious occurred. Since Andersen wasn't working that night, 119 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: there was nothing the staffer would do for Agnes and Tom, 120 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: not even allow them to speak to another officer to 121 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: explain the situation. Not taking no for an answer, the 122 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: couple refused to leave the station until finally another officer 123 00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: appeared mercifully after the Woodcock explained everything too, they despatched 124 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: a patrol car immediately to the Blundell Center At twelve 125 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: thirty am. Constable Jerry Anderson had just got into bed 126 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: when the station rang to inform him that Cindy's car 127 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: had been found seemingly abandoned. But more than that, the 128 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: attending officer had also found blood on the door and 129 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: Cindy's bank and ID cards scattered underneath it. Anderson got 130 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: dressed and headed straight to the police station. Two weeks 131 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: prior to her disappearance, Cindy had written a letter to 132 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: Constable Anderson's department bemoaning the lack of trust she'd felt 133 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: in most of her dealings with the police. Constable Anderson, 134 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: who she described as the only officer she could trust 135 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: and feel comfortable with, was the exception. Later that night, 136 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: after briefing his staff on the situation, Anderson called Cindy's 137 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: parents to let them know she was missing. As forensics 138 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: dusted the car for Prince, two mounties were sent to 139 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: search Cindy's house for clues. Inside, they found a clean 140 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: and well looked after home. A deck of playing cards 141 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: and a score pat were set up on the table 142 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: in preparation for the card game that Cindy had been 143 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: due to play with Agnes and Tom. An hour later, 144 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: Cindy's car was being loaded onto the back of a 145 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: truck and taken to the police impound lot to be 146 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: examined the following day. Aside from the smear of blood 147 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: on the door, forensics had found nothing else of note 148 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: on the outside of the vehicle. Next, Constable Anderson sent 149 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: two officers to visit Cindy's ex husband, Doctor Roy Makepeace. 150 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: Rosemary Kent, a woman who lives on the edge of 151 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: the infamous Black Hill's Forest, needs your help to find 152 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: her missing son.

Although police 174 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: had yet to find a solid reason to suspect that 175 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: Makepeace had anything to do with all that Cindy had 176 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: supposedly been experiencing, they also hadn't been able to rule 177 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: it out. It had just gone three am when Constable's 178 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: Bowl and Strand arrived at the apartment block where he 179 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: lived near Kitsilano Beach. Spotting another resident entering the building, 180 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: the two Mounties took the opportunity to let themselves in 181 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: and head up to make Peace's apartment. When they tried 182 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: to speak to make Peace, however, the doctor refused to 183 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: let them in. Instead, he phoned the building manager, who 184 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: arrived soon after to see what all the fuss was about. 185 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: Only after the officers had shown their id to the 186 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: manager did Makepeace finally grant them access to his flat. 187 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: Appearing on edge, Makepeace told the Mounties to keep their 188 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: distance and to go into the living room where he 189 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: could see them better. The officers cautiously complied, casting their 190 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,839 Speaker 1: eyes over the apartment as they went. Makepeace then went 191 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: on to explain that his nervousness was to do with 192 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: a series of strange things that had happened recently in 193 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: the area that had left him on shore of who 194 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: to trust. He'd even been keeping a gun in the apartment, 195 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: he told them for his own protection, and even pulled 196 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: it out to show them. When asked to account for 197 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: his recent whereabouts in the last twenty four hours, Makepeace 198 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: explained that he'd cycled to Richmond and then headed back 199 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: to Vancouver for dinner with a friend. He then spent 200 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: the evening helping to install a stereo system at his 201 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: friend's house before returning to his apartment at midnight. His 202 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: friend would later confirm this. So in Richmond yesterday afternoon, 203 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: said Constable bowl Why, asked Makepeace, what's going on. The 204 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: officers then explained that Cindy's car had been found at 205 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: the Blundell shopping Center, but there was no sign of Cindy. 206 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: Makepeace stood shaking his head. My god, she's dead. She's dead, 207 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: he said. Collecting himself, Makepeace told the officers that he 208 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: had something they might want to listen to. Two messages 209 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: he'd received on his answering machine the previous October. It 210 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 1: was hard to say which was the more strange one 211 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 1: delivered in a raspy voice said more smack more downers 212 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: another grand after we waste no more deal, and the 213 00:13:47,679 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: other was this one. Makepeace thought the voice had said 214 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: Sunday dead meat soon. Since the Sunday before he got 215 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: the message, he'd seen two characters who seemed out of 216 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: place to him hanging outside his apartment block. The men 217 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: walked away when they noticed that Makepeace was eyeing them 218 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: from his car on the other side of the road. 219 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: The doctor wondered if they'd been the same men, perhaps 220 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: that attacked Cindy, looking to hurt him too. When he 221 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: played the message to a friend, however, they realized the 222 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: voice wasn't saying Sunday dead meat soon, but Cindy dead 223 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: meat soon. Makepeace said he hadn't told the police about 224 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: the takes before because he'd grown distrustful of them after 225 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: all the years of being considered a suspect in the 226 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: attacks on his ex wife. The morning after Cindy's disappearance, 227 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: her sister Melanie received a letter from Cindy in the post. 228 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: It read, this is just a wee note on this 229 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: beautiful paper to say hi, hope all is well with 230 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: you and thanks for the interesting mail you've sent. In 231 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: the last while, I've been busy in the garden whenever 232 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: I can, getting it slowly in shape. We've had some 233 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: really nice weather lately. I'm still getting harassed from time 234 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: to time by some one trying to break in here. 235 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: But I think we've come up with the solution. If 236 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: it doesn't cost too much. Goud is going to wire 237 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: in a censer for me, so hopefully we'll know when 238 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: someone enters the back yard and we can quietly call 239 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: the police while he's busy doing his thing. I'm really 240 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: hopeful we might actually catch him soon. Wouldn't that be wonderful. 241 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: I could actually start living a normal life again. I've 242 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: almost forgotten what that feels like. The police have been 243 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: pretty useless, so it would be wonderful to hand him 244 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: over on a silver platter. Well, I must bathe and 245 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: get ready for Marion to pick me up. Hope to 246 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: hear from you soon. By the afternoon, an extensive search 247 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: by Richmond Police, including searching the shoreline and interviewing anyone 248 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: within a half block radius at the Blundell Center, had 249 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: turned up nothing. Shortly after five pm, Constable Anderson arrived 250 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: at the police compound to examine Cindy's car. Cindy's black 251 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: purse was found on the front passenger seat between two 252 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: brown paper bags of groceries, with another two bags of 253 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: groceries on the floor. On the back seat, they found 254 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: two Seers bags with the croquet set and some wrapping paper, 255 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: the gift Cindy had bought for her friend's son. A 256 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: Bank of Montreal deposit slip revealed that she deposited her 257 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: paycheck at the Center at seven fifty eight PM, the 258 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: last of her known whereabouts. Curiously, police also found a 259 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: pad of paper in the glove compartment with the words 260 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: small silver and KdV seven eighty four written on it, 261 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: as if Cindy had at some point noted down a 262 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 1: suspicious vehicle she'd seen. The plate was checked against all 263 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: known plates in British Columbia, but again nothing turned up. 264 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: The handheld alarm that Ozzie Caban had given her, which 265 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: she made sure to take with her wherever she went, 266 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 1: was also found in the glove box. A few days 267 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 1: after Cindy's body was found, Richard Johnston, a life insurance 268 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: agent who'd sold Cindia policy, recently called Constable Anderson to 269 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,719 Speaker 1: let him know that a man had contacted his office 270 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: requesting details about the policy, claiming to be Cindy's father, 271 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 1: He denied all knowledge of the call. Around the same time, 272 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: the words some bitch died here were graffitied onto a 273 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 1: fuel tank beside the house where Cindy's body was found. 274 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: Presumably the same person had also painted a rude outline 275 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: of a body in orange paint on the ground. As 276 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 1: Cindy's death began to hit the news, so too did 277 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 1: stories begin to emerge about the bizarre circumstances leading up 278 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: to her disappearance. With Cindy's father Otto acting as the 279 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: family spokesperson, it was often up to him to outline 280 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: to the press the extent of the almost seven years 281 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: of harassment at attacks that Cindy had apparently suffered in 282 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 1: the lead up to her death, while decrying the police's 283 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: inability to find a perpetrator. As a result, the police 284 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: were inundated with tips and suggestions by members of the 285 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: public as to what might have happened, but no genuine 286 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: leads came out of it. Ozzie Caban, who was on 287 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: holiday at the time, learned as Cindy's death the day 288 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: after her body was found After getting the first fight home, 289 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: he went straight to the morgue to inspect the body 290 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,679 Speaker 1: for himself. After learning that it had been found on 291 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: its right hand side, he was surprised to find blotching 292 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: and signs of lividity the pooling of blood on the 293 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: left hand side. Kaban also thought it strange that the 294 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 1: skin was so dry considering the shady and damp area 295 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: where the body had been found, nor did it seem 296 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: to have been much damaged by other animals, all of 297 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: which suggested that perhaps Cindy had died elsewhere and the 298 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: body taken to the place it was found. Later On, 299 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: on June twelfth, nineteen eighty nine, and what would have 300 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: been Cindy's forty fifth birthday, friends and family gathered at 301 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: her apartment to mourn her death. At her funeral two 302 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 1: days later, the police used hidden cameras to record the 303 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: faces and license plate numbers of all who attended. Doctor 304 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: roy Makepeace was a notable absentee, since it had never 305 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: been a particularly well kept secret. It wasn't long before 306 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: the press what wind of what many in the police 307 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 1: force really felt about Cindy's death. Within days, articles were 308 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 1: already circulating questioning both Cindy's mental health and the veracity 309 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,959 Speaker 1: of all those harassment claims, for which there were almost 310 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: a hundred in total. Cindy's family were incensed by the speculation. 311 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: Twenty days after the body was found, despite being discovered 312 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 1: with a stocking around her neck, toxicology results revealed that 313 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: Cindy had most likely died from an overdose of the 314 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: sedative florazepam. Dangerous levels of one other sedative and morphine 315 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: were also present. With so many unanswered questions, the inquest 316 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: into Cindy's death began in April the following year and 317 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: evolved eighty witnesses as well as a number of expert testimonies. 318 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 1: Some psychiatrists argued that perhaps Cindy had been suffering from 319 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: some kind of multiple personality disorder, while others disputed this possibility. 320 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: This diagnosis, now referred to as dissociative identity disorder, remains 321 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: a deeply controversial and much contested one. Though some argued 322 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: that Cindy couldn't possibly have tied her own hands and 323 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: feet behind her back in the manner in which her 324 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 1: body was found, a not specialist was asked to attempt 325 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: it themselves for the inquest, they found they were able 326 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: to achieve something similar in just under fifteen minutes, enough 327 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: time perhaps for Cindy to drug herself and then make 328 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 1: it to where her body was eventually found. Ozzie Kaban, 329 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: for one, didn't believe that Cindy would have been able 330 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: to stage that kind of death on her own. Detective 331 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,239 Speaker 1: Bowyer Smythe had also remained convinced throughout that Cindy had 332 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: been the victim of a terrifying harassment campaign. When asked 333 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: at the inquest to point to who he thought was responsible, 334 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: he pointed to doctor Roy makepeace. After thirty days, the 335 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: inquest was brought to an end on May twenty, nineteen ninety, 336 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: a year to the day that Cindy died. In the end, 337 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: the jury were unable to rule whether the death was 338 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: an accident, a murder, or suicide. Katherine Kinahan, who summed 339 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: up at the inquest, said, the Vancouver Police Department's position 340 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: is that Cindy's death was suicide or accident. The proper 341 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: verdict is the so called open ended verdict. It would 342 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: be pointless to reopen the investigation at this stage. It's 343 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: not going to solve the case. There is no more 344 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: evidence to be found. The Vancouver Sun reporter Neil Hall, 345 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: whose nineteen ninety one book The Deaths of Cindy provides 346 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: extensive coverage of the case, called it the most baffling 347 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 1: case that he'd ever come across. Can this be? He asked? 348 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: Can someone have done this to themselves? Could someone out 349 00:22:55,760 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: there still not have been caught?
