Cindy James - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hi! I recently bought the book "The Deaths of Cindy James" concerning the Cindy James case that was on Unsolved Mysteries about the nurse from Canada who said she was terrorized for years and then found dead. The author of the book is Neal Hall, who was interviewed for the Unsolved Mysteries segment. I found the book to be very interesting and had a hard time putting it down (I had the whole book read in about 48 hours). Anyway, the reason I'm posting this is I would be glad to share the book with any of you other Unsolved Mysteries fans that would like to read it. Just email me with your address and I will mail to you.

Hi! Just wanted to let everybody know, that I've already received a reply and will be mailing out the book to someone. I will let the board know when I receive it back, in case someone else wants to read it. Thanks!:

How cool! I got this book a couple years ago in the mail and found it VERY interesting.

I finished it in about 48 hours myself. Very hard to put down.

I'm glad I found this thread. I've been wanting to get this book for a while now. I hope Amazon has it.

Cindy James' sister (who sometimes posts on here) is also writing a book about her sisters death. It sounds very interesting and I think it will be released soon and I can't wait to read it. You can check out her website at www.melaniehack.com.

Yep, Melanie is putting the finishing touches on the book. At her website, she's even asking you which bookcover you like best.

One of the main reasons I don't buy Cindy's stalking theory, is that if she was a woman who was being attacked and terrorized, why would she walk her dog in the middle of the night? I remember specifically UM stating that she did this. What the heck? Although, I would like to read the book; does the author take the standpoint that she was murdered or suicide?

There are actually two books written about her (soon to be a third). Its been a few years since I read them but I think Neal Hall did a pretty good job not interjecting his opinion into the book and just stated the facts. However when he was interviewed on UM, he definitely seemed to lean towards her being responsible for everything.

Well I do think Cindy was stalked and murdered. As far as a possible reason why she walked the dog late at night. Granted its not something I would have done, but maybe Cindy's mindset was that she wasn't going to let these people control her life and wanted to live a life as normal as possible. Also if I remember correctly she did have a couple of friends staying with her night so maybe she felt safer than if she would have been alone.

Was Neal Hall that blond reporter? I think some of his remarks and comments were kinda disrespectful to Cindy's family and friends.

Yes that was him and I agree.

I think I'm going to get Melanie's book. I checked Amazon and it was out of stock sadly

Anyway, my fiance(who I've turned into a UM fan) and I watched this case last night from the Bizarre Murders DVD. I asked him what he thought and he too leaned towards Cindy being stalked but he leaned towards the possibility of the person stalking Cindy being a woman. I never thought of the possibility of a female stalker other than Cindy herself, but I guess it's possible. I asked him why he thought this and he said to look at the way she was tortured each time and for how long. Him in his macho stance says, "If this were a guy, he'd have killed her already. And no sign of sexual assault?"

I let him have his moment. He thinks he's solved this case....

Anyone listen to the audio of a phone message ("Cindy, youre dead meat") on the Melanie Hack website? I wasn't able to listen to it. Has anyone here listened to it?

Yes I just listened to it. You weren't able to listen to it or you didn't want to? I just clicked on the play button and heard it. You know I can't really tell if I think it was a man or woman speaking. The first word sounded male but the last word sounded like it could have been a woman disguising her voice. Creepy...

mozartpc27 · 07-02-2007, 10:15 AM

I just listened to it as well. Unfortunately, I think it sounds an awful lot like a woman, which doesn't help Cindy's case.

As for the theory she could have been being stalked by a woman other than herself, it's certainly possible, and the lack of sexual contact makes it much more of a possibility, but I don't think the fact that she was tortured for so long automatically means it wasn't a man who was doing it. There are some real sickos out there, after all.

I wasn't able to, I need a certain program installed on my computer before I can listen to it. But, I can imagine how creepy the message was.
