In 1982, Cindy Hack, 38, divorced her husband Roy. As soon as she moved to another house in Vancouver, Canada, she felt a wave of relief wash over her; Her marriage had become abusive and toxic years ago, but her newfound happiness would be short-lived. Four months after leaving her husband, Cindy's nightmare would begin. It all began with a late-night phone call on October 7, 1982. When she answered, the voice on the other end sounded hoarse and angry, she turned to Cindy. by name and quickly told her that he planned to hurt her and before Cindy could do anything, the caller had hung up.

Cindy was horrified and didn't know what to do so she did nothing and then over the next few days she received more calls from

this

ghost person and every one of them started. With this person addressing her by her first name and then threatening her with violence, Cindy began to convince herself that this had to be a terrible joke and continued to do nothing about it. One night, Cindy couldn't help but feel like she was being watched and she looked into her living room and noticed that one of her windows was

open at night. She drew all the curtains in her house, so she walked to the window and pressed her face against the glass to look out and she didn't.

He didn't see anyone out there so he closed the curtains, turned around and started walking back to the kitchen when his phone rang, he hesitated but finally picked up the phone and on the other end of the call was the mysterious person who In a mocking tone he told her that the curtains were not going to protect her, that they knew that when she was home, this incident pushed her over the edge and she knew that this couldn't be a bad joke, this was real, so she communicated with the police, who paid a visit to the house, but there was no sign of a robbery or any sign of a crime being committed, so after walking around his property and feeling confident that he was safe, he They said I should really consider getting an unlisted phone number that way, this mystery.

The person can no longer contact you, so Cindy thanked them and looked up an unlisted phone number, but the calls not only continued, but became more frequent, and in fact, the harassment in general just he began climbing three days later, in October. 15 Cindy and her good friend Agnes were returning from dinner to Cindy's house and when they arrived they noticed that one of the front windows had been broken, they carefully walked up to the porch and realized that the front door was actually open and slightly ajar. They considered immediately leaving the property and just calling the police, but they sat there for a minute and didn't hear anything inside the house, so they decided to just stick their heads out and investigate, so when they walked in, all the lights were off. . and there were no signs of disturbance, it was totally quiet, but when they went upstairs they found feathers all over the hallway and they followed them to Cindy's room and in her room all the pillows had been destroyed and the key. toward the front door was visibly on her nightstand, the women fled the house and called the police, but when they showed up there wasn't much they could do despite knowing about Cindy's threatening phone calls she was receiving, she simply there were no clear signs of whoever broke into his house and cut up his pillows and so he was told that the best thing to do is change the locks, make sure everything in his house remains locked at all times when he is home and if he notices something out of the ordinary, He called again during the following days.

Cindy received more threatening phone calls and began waking up to threatening notes on her front porch that had been made from newspaper and magazine clippings, prompting the police to launch a larger investigation into the matter, an officer named Pat . Mcbride, who had been in the police force for eight years, began checking on Cindy almost daily and very quickly Pat and Cindy developed a romantic relationship and Pat actually moved into Cindy's house while investigating this case, as soon as Pat moved out, the harassment seemed to stop, but just a couple of weeks later, in early November, Pat woke up one morning at Cindy's house to find that her phone lines were down.

When she went outside to investigate, she discovered that the lines on They had actually been cut and he found a pair of cable cutters. Lying on the ground for the next month, coupled with threatening phone calls and notes left on her porch, Cindy began hearing someone walking outside her house at night, but was always too terrified to go to the window and look. outside to see who it was. It was when she started finding raw meat outside her door in the morning and she found photos of dead bodies hidden under the windshield wiper of her car.

One day she walked into her backyard and discovered three dead cats hanging in her yard. Cindy, who was a cheerful and cheerful person before the stalking began had become a totally anxious and paranoid mess, but despite her obvious distress, the local police were beginning to doubt her claims that the stalker was real every time. Whenever he called them alleging stalker activity, they would go to his house. and they looked around, but could never find any evidence to suggest that anyone other than her, her friends, or her boyfriend had been there and, speaking of her boyfriend, police officer pat mcbride, was telling his co-workers that He was never home when the stalker called and he never heard anyone walking outside his house, he said the only reason he knew about these things is because Cindy told him after the fact, upset that the police didn't take her into account.

Serious. Cindy broke up with Pat and decided she needed to move out and get started. was in another city a few days before cindy was supposed to move in, her friend agnes passed by when she went to the front door and knocked and there was no answer, she walked to the back and found her friend crouching behind the stairs as if she was hiding from something, she ran towards her and noticed that she had a black nylon stocking tight around her neck, but Cindy seemed unfazed by it and kept looking towards her shed, so Agnes runs up to Cindy and says to Cindy what.

Are you doing what's in your neck? and Cindy turned to look at her and her eyes were wide and she panicked and she told Agnes that a few minutes ago she had been walking to her shed to look for something when a man jumped out of the shadows and wrapped this nylon around her neck and He started strangling her and threatened that if she turned to look at him he would attack her family, so Cindy and this man fought for a minute until Agnes' car approached, which scared the man and he ran away from Agnes. she was shocked and grabbed her friend and picked her up and took the nylon off her neck and the two of them ran inside and closed all the doors and windows and then at that moment Cindy called the police but when the police showed up the only one The evidence of this attack was Cindy's first-hand account and this nylon stocking, but the police believed that the nylon stocking was Cindy's and she had organized the entire event and had tied it around her neck herself a few days later. , in January 1983.

Cindy moved to a new house in a town called Richmond, which is a suburb of Vancouver, Canada, and as soon as she got there, she painted her car a new color and actually changed her last name to James for months that she did not see or hear from him. her stalker, but in October of that year she found another dead cat on her property with a note next to it saying that you are next, fearing for her life, she called Richmond police, who set up a surveillance operation on her property , but for months. Even though dozens of officers were watching her house at virtually all hours, they never saw any stalker activity, but as soon as the officers left for a period of time when there was a gap in surveillance, Cindy would call the police and report about stalker activity in time.

The police de

part

ment also began to suspect that Cindy was making up the stalker story and told her now blatantly knowing that the police were not taking her seriously. Cindy hired a local private detective named Ozzy Caban to investigate her case. He immediately set up spotlights around her. property and he gave her a two way radio to place inside his house that constantly broadcast to Ozzy that way if she was in trouble he would know even if she couldn't get to the radio to tell him he also installed a panic button inside his house that would send an alarm to him and the police.

In January 1984, after only being on the case for a couple of weeks, Ozzy heard some strange sounds on the two-way radio playing. like there was some kind of fight at Cindy's house so he tried to call her on the radio to ask her what was going on but he got no answer so he flew to her house and knocked on the door but there was no answer so he broke down the door kicked and found Cindy lying in the hallway, motionless, with a note on top of her hand that was held by a paring knife that had been stabbed through the note and then she threw her hand out, the note said that you are dead Lady Cindy also had a black nylon stocking wrapped around her neck, so Ozzy initially believed Cindy was dead, but he managed to find her pulse and took her to the hospital and when she regained consciousness, all she could remember was feeling like she was dead. someone injected his arm. with a needle and after that had no memory of the attack, the police believed that Cindy had organized the attack and did not bother to take fingerprints at her house on either the knife or the note, Ozzie, on the other hand, believed that her client was telling the truth is, he didn't believe Cindy was physically capable of injecting herself into the area where the needle had entered her body.

The angle was almost impossible to achieve on her own once she was released from the hospital. The police, despite believing she was lying, continued their surveillance of her. operation of his property, but as always, nothing happened when any of the officers were on duty, the stalker's activity was only reported after they left, life continued like this for over a year and during that time the mental health of Cindy continued to decline rapidly, she lived. in constant fear of the stalker and she was deeply ashamed that the police believed she was lying. On December 11, 1985, Cindy was attacked again, but details about this are incredibly scarce.

Someone found her lying in a ditch six miles from her house. a single work boot and a single glove he was suffering from hypothermia and had cuts and bruises all over his body and had a black nylon stocking wrapped around his neck he did not remember the attack the police told him they believed it was another staged event , so they did not do any significant follow-up. After a few days in the hospital, she was sent home, but she was terrified of being alone, so she approached her friend Agnes and asked if she and her husband Tom would be willing.

To do it. I stayed with her for a couple of days and they agreed the first night they were there. Cindy woke up in the middle of the night and heard strange sounds coming from the basement. She woke up Agnes and Tom and they heard the sounds too, so they left. They went down to the first floor, opened the basement door and looked down and very clearly there was a fire in their basement, so Cindy immediately ran to the phone to call 9-1-1, but they discovered that the phone lines had been shut down. cut off, so Tom ran outside to try to find a neighbor to call 9-1-1 and when he came out he found a man standing in front of the house looking at him and Tom yelled at them, hey, you have to call. 9-1-1 this house is on fire and this man without saying a word just turned around and ran down the street and that man was never identified finally Tom got a neighbor to call 9-1-1 the firefighters arrived and put They put out the fire and then after an investigation they determined that the fire had been started intentionally, this was an act of arson and police said there were no signs of forced entry anywhere around the home meaningSomeone who was already in the house had to have started the fire and they specifically said that Cindy had to have started the fire because she sets up these events all the time because of this stalker scam of hers.

Agnes and Tom denied this claim saying that they never heard Cindy walking at night and that she would never endanger her life. After this event, Cindy became very depressed and had to be hospitalized and for 10 weeks was under intense psychiatric care, but At the end of those 10 weeks the doctors determined that she was not a threat to herself or anyone else, so she was sent home. It was at that point that Cindy went to the police and she said that she believed that Roy, her ex-husband, was behind all the attacks. The police immediately brought Roy in for questioning and he emphatically denied all the allegations saying he had nothing to do with it. and in fact he had been the victim of this stalker who was after his ex-wife.

He said he received several threatening phone calls and once, when they called, they left him a voicemail and he played it to the police afterwards. Upon speaking with Roy and confirming his various alibis, the police ruled him out as a suspect for the next three years. and a half. Cindy continued to receive threatening phone calls and messages at her home, but no one except Cindy saw what was happening live while she was private. Investigator Ozzy

believed every

part

of her story. The Richmond Police Department had grown tired of her and stopped responding to her calls on the night of May 25, 1989.

Agnes showed up at Cindy's house for her scheduled bridge game when she called the door. There was no response and since Agnes and Cindy were very close, Agnes tried to open the front door, but it was open and she thought that Cindy must be upstairs taking a shower, but when she entered, the house was completely silent and after a couple of minutes There was no commotion upstairs. Agnes began looking for her friend in the house and discovered that Cindy was not there, so she called the police. The police began a search and very quickly found Cindy's car in the parking lot of a local supermarket and when investigators went.

In the car, they discovered there was blood on the outside of the driver's side door. The contents of Cindy's purse, including her credit cards and her identification, were scattered on the ground near the car and then in the trunk of the vehicle were purchases Cindy had recently made. bought, but even though they found her car, there was really no indication of where she went next, her friends and family believed she had been kidnapped by her stalker and the police believed she was organizing yet another event, but anyway, no one He was able to find her two weeks after she disappeared and a mile from where her car had been found, a highway worker had drunk too much coffee and needed to go to the bathroom, but where they were working they had no transportation service and they were not close to anywhere. local business that might offer public bathrooms, the only area that offered privacy was the abandoned building that was right near his workplace, so this worker told his team where he was going, turned around, and started walking away. through the front yard of this property, completely overgrown, and as he started walking down the side of this building, he smelled this horrible smell like one of the worst smells he had ever smelled in his life and he assumed that because this property was abandoned maybe people were throwing their trash somewhere and it's a hot day. and that's why it smells bad but either way he dismissed it he walked to the back of this building he found a good spot he relieved himself he turned around and started walking back along the side to get back on the road when he stopped because He saw something lying near the side of the house and was surprised he didn't notice it when he entered.

He couldn't really see what it was because the tall grass was obscuring his view, so he took a couple steps forward to get a view. He looked better and when he could clearly see what it was he stopped because in front of him was a clearly deceased woman lying on her side with her hands and feet tied behind her back and around her neck was a black nylon stocking, it was the body of her. of cindy james despite the nylon around her neck the autopsy revealed that she did not die from strangulation but died from an overdose of morphine and other drugs the police brought in a knot expert who could easily get into the same position in which Cindy was tied up and this information, combined with their belief that Cindy was a pathological liar, they concluded that this had to have been self-inflicted, that she injected herself with the lethal dose and then dropped to the floor and tied herself up to stage the Epic conclusion to this scam by the stalker to cover his bases, the police re-interviewed Roy, the ex-husband, but his alibi was checked and realistically he was never a suspect.

It is not listed online whether Pat McBride, the police officer's ex-boyfriend, was ever investigated. While police were very confident in their theory of what happened to Cindy, there were some discrepancies. The medical examiner disagreed with the decision that it was a suicide. He said it cannot be concluded that there is not enough evidence during the autopsy. They discovered that Cindy had an injection mark on her arm, but were never able to find the needle near her body or between her and her parked car considering the extremely high dose of narcotic that was found in Cindy's system if this had been a suicide. as as soon as he injected himself, he would have had to immediately shift gears, get on the ground, and start tying himself up before becoming too intoxicated to function, meaning the needle should have been right around where they found it, but it wasn't missing either.

At the crime scene were Cindy's shoes and socks and, curiously, her bare feet were completely clean even though to get to where she was found she would have had to cover a distance of at least a mile and a half from her parked car, but again. There was no dirt or marks on the bottom of her feet. Also, it was strange that she wasn't discovered in less than two weeks, even though she was found near this abandoned house that was completely overgrown with weeds. The house was actually frequented by teenagers and there was a nearby path that would have had a line of sight on her body.

These discrepancies have led many people to believe that Cindy had a stalker and this stalker kidnapped her in the supermarket parking lot, tied her up. , they injected her with the lethal dose of morphine and then after she died, they dumped her near this abandoned property right before they found her and they had left that black nylon tied around her neck because that was the stalker's signature. Some have taken this a step further and said pat mcbride, the police officer. was behind the attacks because he would have known when surveillance was installed at his home and could have very easily avoided detection, but the strangest and most fascinating theory of what happened to Cindy is that she had dissociative identity disorder or that This is what someone claims. at least two distinct personalities and when one of those personalities is active, the other fades away and has no memory of this experience, creating these huge memory gaps, so the theory goes that one of Cindy's personalities was stalking her. to herself or, more specifically, to one of her personalities. she hated herself and wanted to hurt herself and then that personality would do things like stab her hand or run six miles into a ditch and leave herself for dead and then Cindy's other personality would take over and suddenly she too would come along having nothing.

I remember how she got hurt or how she ended up at the point and when she went to the police to tell them that someone was stalking me because she was stalking me, she was telling the truth, but that someone that stalker was actually her, she just didn't. I don't know, but Roy, her ex-husband, was a psychiatrist and in their 16 years of marriage he never noticed this condition and when Cindy was in that psychiatric ward for 10 weeks after one of her stalker attacks, none of the doctors or psychiatrists were concerned. realized nor was diagnosed with this condition, it is still possible that he would have and that it simply appeared later in life and did not present enough to be noticed during those 10 weeks of psychiatric care, but realistically this reduces the chances that D.I.D is behind this whole thing.

To date, her death is still considered a suicide and no one has been charged in connection with her death, so that's it guys, if you found the secret in today's episode, let us know in the comments what it is and where you found it. found.
