19: The Mysterious Death of Cindy James
Have you heard about the mysterious death of Cindy James? A 44-year-old nurse from Richmond, British Columbia, Canada who suffered years of torture from a stalker who may or may not have killed her in 1989.
Her death was ruled an ‘unknown event’ after a lengthy inquest. And the case is still debated today - Was this the work of her stalker, or was this a mental illness or breakdown? Join Lauren and Bally this week as we dive into the mysterious death of Cindy James.

This week Lauren and Bally bring you the case of Lizzie Borden, just in time for the Netflix Monsters series! How she was accused and found ‘not guilty’ of killing her father and stepmother with an axe or hatchet. But the question still remains: was she clever enough to get away with it, or was she completely innocent and in the wrong place at the wrong time?
