Mystery Writer Disappears[[edit] | [edit source]]
The paper reports that revered mystery author Agatha Christie was reported missing following the discovery of her car, abandoned at a lakeside in the home county of Surrey. The well loved author of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was deemed to be at the centre of her own mystery following her disappearance the previous Friday evening under mysterious circumstances.
The alarm was raised after the vehicle was found. A local from Chilworth, one of the first to search the car before police were called, said that at first they thought it had been stolen and dumped near the lake. When told it belonged to Agatha Christie they said they'd never have believed it. Police had begun searching the lake and its shore for any clues in the investigation. Christie's family had asked the public for information on the whereabouts of the author. (TV: The Unicorn and the Wasp [+]Loading...["The Unicorn and the Wasp (TV story)"])
