On June 8, 1989, the quiet Vancouver, British Columbia, suburb of Richmond was shocked when a body was found lying in the yard of an abandoned house owned by Cindy James. The victim was the owner of the house, a 44-year old nurse named Cindy James. She had been drugged and strangled. Additionally, her hands and feet had been tied behind her back. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police believed that Cindy’s death was either an accident or suicide due to the repetitive previous encounters Ms. James’ had with the police in the four years leading up to her disappearance and death.
