Agatha Christie - The Missing Eleven Days
She vanished into the night—leaving behind a crashed car, a fur coat, and silence.
In December 1926, Agatha Christie, the most famous mystery writer in the world, became the center of a chilling mystery of her own. Her car was found abandoned on the edge of a quarry. Her belongings were still inside. For eleven days, there was no sign of her—no note, no clues, no trail. Just a growing sense of dread.
A nationwide manhunt unfolded. Police. Bloodhounds. Public hysteria. Was she dead? Kidnapped? Or hiding from something far darker than anyone imagined?
When she was finally discovered, checked into a hotel under a false name, she claimed amnesia. But not everyone believed her.
Was it memory loss… or misdirection?
In this unsettling episode, Keith dives deep into the darkest corners of Agatha Christie's disappearance—exploring betrayal, trauma, and the possibility that the queen of crime may have orchestrated the perfect vanishing act… for reasons she took to the grave.
This isn't just a mystery. It’s a ghost story—one that still lingers in the shadows of literary history.
