<v Speaker 1>You're listening to part three of Unexplained Season five, episode three,

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 1>End Game, as well as the two way radio. Ozzie

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Caban gave Cindy a panic button, which she made a

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 1>habit of carrying with her wherever she went. The button

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>set off an alarm in Coban's office, which would then

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>in turn alert Coband to notify the police that she

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:43.480
<v Speaker 1>was in trouble. In October nineteen eighty eight, Cindy triggered

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 1>the alarm. When police arrived at her home minutes later,

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 1>they found her car parked up in the garage, with

0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Cindy unconscious in the driver's seat, partially naked from the

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>waist down, with her legs dangling out of the open door.

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Duct tape had been stuck over her mouth, and yet

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 1>another pair of black nylon stockings had been tied around

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>her neck. Her hands had also been tied behind her back.

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 1>By the time she made it to hospital, Cindy was

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 1>in a coma when she finally woke up. All she

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>seemed to remember of the incident was returning home in

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.640
<v Speaker 1>the car that afternoon, and then being attacked by one

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 1>or two men just as she was about to get

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 1>out of it. Once again. Police made a thorough search

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:36.799
<v Speaker 1>of the crime scene, and once again they found nothing

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 1>to suggest that anyone else had been involved in the

0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:44.080
<v Speaker 1>apparent attack. By the spring of nineteen eighty nine, Cindy

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>had triggered her panic alarm four more times. She also

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:51.600
<v Speaker 1>received another intimidating note, this time left on her car

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:55.359
<v Speaker 1>windscreen and discovered by a security guard at Richmond Hospital

0:02:55.600 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>where she worked. It read simply Soon Cindy. One afternoon

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:11.600
<v Speaker 1>in May nineteen eighty nine, Cindy met with her friend

0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 1>and colleague Anne in the canteen at the hospital where

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 1>they worked. Looking back on the meeting, Anne recalled that

0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Cindy was in a buoyant mood and eagerly awaiting the

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 1>five days leave she had coming up. On Thursday, May

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty fifth, Cindy spoke with another good friend, Marion Christensen,

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 1>on the phone. Marion, who often made the effort to

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.720
<v Speaker 1>check in with Cindy to make sure she was doing okay,

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 1>had called to tell Cindy that she was planning a

0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 1>trip to Vancouver Island in the next few days. She

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>hoped that they might be able to see each other.

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 1>On the call, Cindy told Marion about her fears that

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 1>things were beginning to escalate again after months without incident,

0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 1>and that she'd sometimes felt too scared to even leave

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 1>the house. In spite of this, however, overall, she'd seen

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.320
<v Speaker 1>happy and was looking forward to attending her friend's son's

0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>ate the birthday party that weekend. It was shortly after

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>that call that Cindy drove out to Blundell Shopping Center

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 1>on Blundell Road to get some advice about what skincare

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.080
<v Speaker 1>products she could use to combat a problem that had

0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 1>recently flared up on her face. After that, she headed

0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:25.560
<v Speaker 1>back to work to collect her paycheck. Arriving a little early,

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:29.799
<v Speaker 1>she met her friend Diane for a quick coffee. Diane

0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:33.640
<v Speaker 1>remembered the moment well, especially how good Cindy looked after

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 1>her visit to the moor, which she complimented her on.

0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.039
<v Speaker 1>The pair spoke a bit about the recent break ins

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:44.920
<v Speaker 1>at Cindy's house and how Cindy was otherwise in good spirits. However,

0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 1>she also remembered Cindy being worried that things might be

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>too quiet, as if something terrible was about to happen.

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:56.159
<v Speaker 1>The pair arranged to have dinner the following evening before

0:04:56.200 --> 0:05:00.839
<v Speaker 1>saying their goodbyes. Cindy picked up her page shortly after.

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Her colleague Tammy, who handed it to her, later remembered

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:07.359
<v Speaker 1>thinking it was the happiest she'd seen Cindy in a while.

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.839
<v Speaker 1>Soon after, at the home of Cindy's friends, Agnes and

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:15.919
<v Speaker 1>Tom Woodcock, Agnes received a call from Cindy. She was

0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.800
<v Speaker 1>back at the Blundell Center hoping to find a present

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:22.880
<v Speaker 1>for her friend's son's upcoming birthday. The pair spoke for

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 1>a short time, making arrangements to meet at Cindy's apartment

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.599
<v Speaker 1>later that evening to play bridge and stay the night.

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 1>It was the last time Agnes would ever speak to

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 1>her friend. As they had arranged, the Woodcocks arrived at

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Cindy's home on Claysmith Road at ten pm. Normally, Agnes

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 1>liked to beat the horn when they drove up to

0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 1>let Cindy know. They derived Cindy would always appear at

0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 1>the window to wave hello. That night, however, she never appeared.

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 1>As Agnes and Tom drew up to the door, they

0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:08.000
<v Speaker 1>noticed too that Cindy's blue Chevrolet's Citation wasn't in the drive.

0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Having got no response from knocking on the door, they

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:15.160
<v Speaker 1>tried Cindy's neighbor, but he hadn't seen her since she

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:19.440
<v Speaker 1>headed off to the shopping mall six hours earlier. Agnes

0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:23.719
<v Speaker 1>and Tom returned to their car and waited. When they'd

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.719
<v Speaker 1>spoken on the phone earlier, Cindy said she'd be home

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 1>before dark, and it wasn't like her to be late.

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 1>After twenty minutes, the couple decided to head home and

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.920
<v Speaker 1>call the police, but first drive to the Blundell Center

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:41.000
<v Speaker 1>just in case she might still be there. The center

0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 1>had long since closed when the Woodcocks pulled up into

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:47.599
<v Speaker 1>the parking lot, which they found completely empty except for

0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 1>one car parked up in the middle of it, Cindy Chevrolet.

0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:57.039
<v Speaker 1>Pulling up to it, Agnes left the headlights on as

0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 1>she and Tom went over to check it out. Inside,

0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:03.200
<v Speaker 1>they spotted some bags of groceries on the front seat,

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:08.200
<v Speaker 1>but no sign of Cindy. Now deeply concerned, the Woodcocks

0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 1>drove straight to the nearest police station, arriving around eleven

0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 1>p m. Heading straight to the front desk, they reported

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:21.280
<v Speaker 1>to the staffer on duty that Cindy had seemingly disappeared. However,

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 1>since it hadn't been twenty four hours, the officer told

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:29.320
<v Speaker 1>them to go away and come back the following day. Recently,

0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 1>a constable named Jerry Anderson had taken on Cindy's file

0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:35.960
<v Speaker 1>and had told her or her friends to contact him

0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:40.640
<v Speaker 1>if ever anything suspicious occurred. Since Andersen wasn't working that night,

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:44.280
<v Speaker 1>there was nothing the staffer would do for Agnes and Tom,

0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 1>not even allow them to speak to another officer to

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:51.640
<v Speaker 1>explain the situation. Not taking no for an answer, the

0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 1>couple refused to leave the station until finally another officer

0:07:55.680 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 1>appeared mercifully after the Woodcock explained everything too, they despatched

0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:11.440
<v Speaker 1>a patrol car immediately to the Blundell Center At twelve

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:15.240
<v Speaker 1>thirty am. Constable Jerry Anderson had just got into bed

0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.360
<v Speaker 1>when the station rang to inform him that Cindy's car

0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:22.720
<v Speaker 1>had been found seemingly abandoned. But more than that, the

0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.760
<v Speaker 1>attending officer had also found blood on the door and

0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Cindy's bank and ID cards scattered underneath it. Anderson got

0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 1>dressed and headed straight to the police station. Two weeks

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:38.280
<v Speaker 1>prior to her disappearance, Cindy had written a letter to

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:42.079
<v Speaker 1>Constable Anderson's department bemoaning the lack of trust she'd felt

0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:45.680
<v Speaker 1>in most of her dealings with the police. Constable Anderson,

0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>who she described as the only officer she could trust

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 1>and feel comfortable with, was the exception. Later that night,

0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:57.200
<v Speaker 1>after briefing his staff on the situation, Anderson called Cindy's

0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 1>parents to let them know she was missing. As forensics

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:05.280
<v Speaker 1>dusted the car for Prince, two mounties were sent to

0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:09.520
<v Speaker 1>search Cindy's house for clues. Inside, they found a clean

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.800
<v Speaker 1>and well looked after home. A deck of playing cards

0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:14.840
<v Speaker 1>and a score pat were set up on the table

0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.640
<v Speaker 1>in preparation for the card game that Cindy had been

0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:21.720
<v Speaker 1>due to play with Agnes and Tom. An hour later,

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Cindy's car was being loaded onto the back of a

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.440
<v Speaker 1>truck and taken to the police impound lot to be

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:32.840
<v Speaker 1>examined the following day. Aside from the smear of blood

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.880
<v Speaker 1>on the door, forensics had found nothing else of note

0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:41.360
<v Speaker 1>on the outside of the vehicle. Next, Constable Anderson sent

0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 1>two officers to visit Cindy's ex husband, Doctor Roy Makepeace.

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.120

0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.400
<v Speaker 1>had yet to find a solid reason to suspect that

0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Makepeace had anything to do with all that Cindy had

0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:27.480
<v Speaker 1>supposedly been experiencing, they also hadn't been able to rule

0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:31.880
<v Speaker 1>it out. It had just gone three am when Constable's

0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Bowl and Strand arrived at the apartment block where he

0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 1>lived near Kitsilano Beach. Spotting another resident entering the building,

0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.920
<v Speaker 1>the two Mounties took the opportunity to let themselves in

0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:47.240
<v Speaker 1>and head up to make Peace's apartment. When they tried

0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.360
<v Speaker 1>to speak to make Peace, however, the doctor refused to

0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 1>let them in. Instead, he phoned the building manager, who

0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.720
<v Speaker 1>arrived soon after to see what all the fuss was about.

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Only after the officers had shown their id to the

0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:05.120
<v Speaker 1>manager did Makepeace finally grant them access to his flat.

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Appearing on edge, Makepeace told the Mounties to keep their

0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 1>distance and to go into the living room where he

0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:17.800
<v Speaker 1>could see them better. The officers cautiously complied, casting their

0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:21.839
<v Speaker 1>eyes over the apartment as they went. Makepeace then went

0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.760
<v Speaker 1>on to explain that his nervousness was to do with

0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:27.560
<v Speaker 1>a series of strange things that had happened recently in

0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.120
<v Speaker 1>the area that had left him on shore of who

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.400
<v Speaker 1>to trust. He'd even been keeping a gun in the apartment,

0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:36.920
<v Speaker 1>he told them for his own protection, and even pulled

0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:40.160
<v Speaker 1>it out to show them. When asked to account for

0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:43.720
<v Speaker 1>his recent whereabouts in the last twenty four hours, Makepeace

0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.560
<v Speaker 1>explained that he'd cycled to Richmond and then headed back

0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.800
<v Speaker 1>to Vancouver for dinner with a friend. He then spent

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.400
<v Speaker 1>the evening helping to install a stereo system at his

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:56.520
<v Speaker 1>friend's house before returning to his apartment at midnight. His

0:12:56.600 --> 0:13:01.800
<v Speaker 1>friend would later confirm this. So in Richmond yesterday afternoon,

0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:08.600
<v Speaker 1>said Constable bowl Why, asked Makepeace, what's going on. The

0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.720
<v Speaker 1>officers then explained that Cindy's car had been found at

0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.840
<v Speaker 1>the Blundell shopping Center, but there was no sign of Cindy.

0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Makepeace stood shaking his head. My god, she's dead. She's dead,

0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 1>he said. Collecting himself, Makepeace told the officers that he

0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:30.320
<v Speaker 1>had something they might want to listen to. Two messages

0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:34.360
<v Speaker 1>he'd received on his answering machine the previous October. It

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.959
<v Speaker 1>was hard to say which was the more strange one

0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:42.679
<v Speaker 1>delivered in a raspy voice said more smack more downers

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:47.600
<v Speaker 1>another grand after we waste no more deal, and the

0:13:47.679 --> 0:14:06.400
<v Speaker 1>other was this one. Makepeace thought the voice had said

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Sunday dead meat soon. Since the Sunday before he got

0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the message, he'd seen two characters who seemed out of

0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:17.480
<v Speaker 1>place to him hanging outside his apartment block. The men

0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:20.600
<v Speaker 1>walked away when they noticed that Makepeace was eyeing them

0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:22.680
<v Speaker 1>from his car on the other side of the road.

0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:26.160
<v Speaker 1>The doctor wondered if they'd been the same men, perhaps

0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:31.000
<v Speaker 1>that attacked Cindy, looking to hurt him too. When he

0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:34.080
<v Speaker 1>played the message to a friend, however, they realized the

0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:39.160
<v Speaker 1>voice wasn't saying Sunday dead meat soon, but Cindy dead

0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:43.320
<v Speaker 1>meat soon. Makepeace said he hadn't told the police about

0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:46.720
<v Speaker 1>the takes before because he'd grown distrustful of them after

0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.080
<v Speaker 1>all the years of being considered a suspect in the

0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:59.640
<v Speaker 1>attacks on his ex wife. The morning after Cindy's disappearance,

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 1>her sister Melanie received a letter from Cindy in the post.

0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.600
<v Speaker 1>It read, this is just a wee note on this

0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:10.840
<v Speaker 1>beautiful paper to say hi, hope all is well with

0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:13.480
<v Speaker 1>you and thanks for the interesting mail you've sent. In

0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:16.880
<v Speaker 1>the last while, I've been busy in the garden whenever

0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:20.160
<v Speaker 1>I can, getting it slowly in shape. We've had some

0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 1>really nice weather lately. I'm still getting harassed from time

0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.160
<v Speaker 1>to time by some one trying to break in here.

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:28.520
<v Speaker 1>But I think we've come up with the solution. If

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.560
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't cost too much. Goud is going to wire

0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:34.160
<v Speaker 1>in a censer for me, so hopefully we'll know when

0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:37.000
<v Speaker 1>someone enters the back yard and we can quietly call

0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:40.760
<v Speaker 1>the police while he's busy doing his thing. I'm really

0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:44.400
<v Speaker 1>hopeful we might actually catch him soon. Wouldn't that be wonderful.

0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I could actually start living a normal life again. I've

0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:52.600
<v Speaker 1>almost forgotten what that feels like. The police have been

0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.680
<v Speaker 1>pretty useless, so it would be wonderful to hand him

0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:59.560
<v Speaker 1>over on a silver platter. Well, I must bathe and

0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:02.320
<v Speaker 1>get ready for Marion to pick me up. Hope to

0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:07.160
<v Speaker 1>hear from you soon. By the afternoon, an extensive search

0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:11.840
<v Speaker 1>by Richmond Police, including searching the shoreline and interviewing anyone

0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:15.040
<v Speaker 1>within a half block radius at the Blundell Center, had

0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:20.560
<v Speaker 1>turned up nothing. Shortly after five pm, Constable Anderson arrived

0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:24.840
<v Speaker 1>at the police compound to examine Cindy's car. Cindy's black

0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.800
<v Speaker 1>purse was found on the front passenger seat between two

0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:31.360
<v Speaker 1>brown paper bags of groceries, with another two bags of

0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:35.240
<v Speaker 1>groceries on the floor. On the back seat, they found

0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:38.520
<v Speaker 1>two Seers bags with the croquet set and some wrapping paper,

0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:42.720
<v Speaker 1>the gift Cindy had bought for her friend's son. A

0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Bank of Montreal deposit slip revealed that she deposited her

0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:50.080
<v Speaker 1>paycheck at the Center at seven fifty eight PM, the

0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:55.440
<v Speaker 1>last of her known whereabouts. Curiously, police also found a

0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.680
<v Speaker 1>pad of paper in the glove compartment with the words

0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:03.480
<v Speaker 1>small silver and KdV seven eighty four written on it,

0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:06.520
<v Speaker 1>as if Cindy had at some point noted down a

0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:10.920
<v Speaker 1>suspicious vehicle she'd seen. The plate was checked against all

0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:14.640
<v Speaker 1>known plates in British Columbia, but again nothing turned up.

0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.720
<v Speaker 1>The handheld alarm that Ozzie Caban had given her, which

0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:21.080
<v Speaker 1>she made sure to take with her wherever she went,

0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:26.160
<v Speaker 1>was also found in the glove box. A few days

0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:30.879
<v Speaker 1>after Cindy's body was found, Richard Johnston, a life insurance

0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:35.399
<v Speaker 1>agent who'd sold Cindia policy, recently called Constable Anderson to

0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.719
<v Speaker 1>let him know that a man had contacted his office

0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:42.720
<v Speaker 1>requesting details about the policy, claiming to be Cindy's father,

0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:48.639
<v Speaker 1>He denied all knowledge of the call. Around the same time,

0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:52.960
<v Speaker 1>the words some bitch died here were graffitied onto a

0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:56.439
<v Speaker 1>fuel tank beside the house where Cindy's body was found.

0:17:57.160 --> 0:18:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Presumably the same person had also painted a rude outline

0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:05.480
<v Speaker 1>of a body in orange paint on the ground. As

0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Cindy's death began to hit the news, so too did

0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:12.439
<v Speaker 1>stories begin to emerge about the bizarre circumstances leading up

0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:16.439
<v Speaker 1>to her disappearance. With Cindy's father Otto acting as the

0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:19.760
<v Speaker 1>family spokesperson, it was often up to him to outline

0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:23.080
<v Speaker 1>to the press the extent of the almost seven years

0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:26.440
<v Speaker 1>of harassment at attacks that Cindy had apparently suffered in

0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:29.400
<v Speaker 1>the lead up to her death, while decrying the police's

0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:34.600
<v Speaker 1>inability to find a perpetrator. As a result, the police

0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:37.560
<v Speaker 1>were inundated with tips and suggestions by members of the

0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:41.040
<v Speaker 1>public as to what might have happened, but no genuine

0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:44.399
<v Speaker 1>leads came out of it. Ozzie Caban, who was on

0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:47.520
<v Speaker 1>holiday at the time, learned as Cindy's death the day

0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:51.320
<v Speaker 1>after her body was found After getting the first fight home,

0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:54.000
<v Speaker 1>he went straight to the morgue to inspect the body

0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:57.679
<v Speaker 1>for himself. After learning that it had been found on

0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:00.800
<v Speaker 1>its right hand side, he was surprised to find blotching

0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:04.520
<v Speaker 1>and signs of lividity the pooling of blood on the

0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:08.879
<v Speaker 1>left hand side. Kaban also thought it strange that the

0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:12.439
<v Speaker 1>skin was so dry considering the shady and damp area

0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:15.520
<v Speaker 1>where the body had been found, nor did it seem

0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:19.440
<v Speaker 1>to have been much damaged by other animals, all of

0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:23.080
<v Speaker 1>which suggested that perhaps Cindy had died elsewhere and the

0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:33.280
<v Speaker 1>body taken to the place it was found. Later On,

0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:36.399
<v Speaker 1>on June twelfth, nineteen eighty nine, and what would have

0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:40.080
<v Speaker 1>been Cindy's forty fifth birthday, friends and family gathered at

0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:43.920
<v Speaker 1>her apartment to mourn her death. At her funeral two

0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:47.199
<v Speaker 1>days later, the police used hidden cameras to record the

0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:51.040
<v Speaker 1>faces and license plate numbers of all who attended. Doctor

0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:55.960
<v Speaker 1>roy Makepeace was a notable absentee, since it had never

0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:59.480
<v Speaker 1>been a particularly well kept secret. It wasn't long before

0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:01.600
<v Speaker 1>the press what wind of what many in the police

0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:06.639
<v Speaker 1>force really felt about Cindy's death. Within days, articles were

0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:11.119
<v Speaker 1>already circulating questioning both Cindy's mental health and the veracity

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:13.959
<v Speaker 1>of all those harassment claims, for which there were almost

0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:18.240
<v Speaker 1>a hundred in total. Cindy's family were incensed by the speculation.

0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Twenty days after the body was found, despite being discovered

0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:27.879
<v Speaker 1>with a stocking around her neck, toxicology results revealed that

0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Cindy had most likely died from an overdose of the

0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:36.080
<v Speaker 1>sedative florazepam. Dangerous levels of one other sedative and morphine

0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:41.200
<v Speaker 1>were also present. With so many unanswered questions, the inquest

0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:44.560
<v Speaker 1>into Cindy's death began in April the following year and

0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:48.480
<v Speaker 1>evolved eighty witnesses as well as a number of expert testimonies.

0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Some psychiatrists argued that perhaps Cindy had been suffering from

0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:58.080
<v Speaker 1>some kind of multiple personality disorder, while others disputed this possibility.

0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:04.399
<v Speaker 1>This diagnosis, now referred to as dissociative identity disorder, remains

0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:08.879
<v Speaker 1>a deeply controversial and much contested one. Though some argued

0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:11.520
<v Speaker 1>that Cindy couldn't possibly have tied her own hands and

0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:14.040
<v Speaker 1>feet behind her back in the manner in which her

0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:17.360
<v Speaker 1>body was found, a not specialist was asked to attempt

0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:20.560
<v Speaker 1>it themselves for the inquest, they found they were able

0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:24.720
<v Speaker 1>to achieve something similar in just under fifteen minutes, enough

0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:28.040
<v Speaker 1>time perhaps for Cindy to drug herself and then make

0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:32.159
<v Speaker 1>it to where her body was eventually found. Ozzie Kaban,

0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:35.200
<v Speaker 1>for one, didn't believe that Cindy would have been able

0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:38.960
<v Speaker 1>to stage that kind of death on her own. Detective

0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:43.239
<v Speaker 1>Bowyer Smythe had also remained convinced throughout that Cindy had

0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:47.680
<v Speaker 1>been the victim of a terrifying harassment campaign. When asked

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:50.600
<v Speaker 1>at the inquest to point to who he thought was responsible,

0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:57.359
<v Speaker 1>he pointed to doctor Roy makepeace. After thirty days, the

0:21:57.440 --> 0:22:01.800
<v Speaker 1>inquest was brought to an end on May twenty, nineteen ninety,

0:22:01.840 --> 0:22:05.720
<v Speaker 1>a year to the day that Cindy died. In the end,

0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:08.720
<v Speaker 1>the jury were unable to rule whether the death was

0:22:08.720 --> 0:22:14.639
<v Speaker 1>an accident, a murder, or suicide. Katherine Kinahan, who summed

0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:18.720
<v Speaker 1>up at the inquest, said, the Vancouver Police Department's position

0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:22.879
<v Speaker 1>is that Cindy's death was suicide or accident. The proper

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:26.800
<v Speaker 1>verdict is the so called open ended verdict. It would

0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:30.320
<v Speaker 1>be pointless to reopen the investigation at this stage. It's

0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:33.000
<v Speaker 1>not going to solve the case. There is no more

0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:39.120
<v Speaker 1>evidence to be found. The Vancouver Sun reporter Neil Hall,

0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:43.080
<v Speaker 1>whose nineteen ninety one book The Deaths of Cindy provides
