  • Résumé

  • For seven years, Vancouver nurse Cindy James reported more than 100 separate incidents of harassment, ranging from threatening phone calls to home invasions to ritualistic assaults, including strangulations and stabbings. Canada’s Royal Mounted Police spent over a million dollars investigating her claims and found zero evidence of foul play, leading them to suspect she was making it all up. Then, in 1989, Cindy was found dead, bound and naked, half a mile from where her car was parked in a shopping mall. What happened to Cindy James remains one of the most bizarre and perplexing true crime stories in recent memory.

    Death by Unknown Event illuminates the enigmatic context around James’s life, the efforts and failures of law enforcement, and the lingering theories around how she died from those closest to the case.

Excellent Story

I enjoyed the narrator, the story and development. It's my first true crime story, and I liked piecing it together, and listening to the evidence and other theories.

Best Narration and intriguing story

Months after I listened, I came back to say stop scrolling and click play. I’m STILL thinking about it. It’s the narrator that pushed me over but the story it utterly captivating

The bigger picture

Since I was hired by Cindy James mother to work on her case, it is so interesting to me to be able to hear a bigger picture around the entire Cindy James story.
To hear actual audio of the threatening phone calls and hear the back story of the
participants such as friends neighbours and any of the others who knew her would have been invaluable to me at the time of my investigation. Knowing the scene where her body was discovered since it was only a few blocks from my mother’s home, and being able to visit Cindy’s home in Richmond with her parents makes
the podcast meaningful. Also having attended the Coroner’s inquest and having heard testimony first hand combined with the information in this podcast
gives me such a fuller sense of meaning to the entire case. What I saw at the time
and what I wrote in my book and on serviettes and coffee coasters are now embellished in a fuller fashion.
I like the voices presenting the podcast and the balance of content is perfectly
orchestrated. It is one of B.C.s most important cases that influenced many of the
workings of various institutions such as policing, psychiatry, treatment of women.
