Ep 97 - A Famous British Woman is Missing!!!: It's Agatha Christie this time
Description
About 100 years or so ago, the best-selling author of all time, Agatha Christie, went missing for 11 days. She left her home in the evening, crashed her car, and was found later at a spa in the country. The press went wild, with the NY Times reporting, among other things, that she had been afraid of ghosts, that she had run into foul play, and that she was in London dressed as a man! Arthur Conan Doyle was brought in for some reason and took the case to a psychic.
When Agatha WAS found, she had used her husband's mistress's name as the name she checked into the spa with and pretended not to know who he was. Legendary.
