Agatha Christie's Disappearance Finally Has A Strange Answer
Being the most widely published author of all time right behind the Bible and Shakespeare, Agatha Christie was without a doubt a rising legend by the time she reached her mid-thirties. Until one night when the dame of mysteries became one herself. On the evening of December 4th, 1926, Agatha Christie got in her car and sped off into the night. Like a scene right out of one of her famous whodunits, the novelist disappeared without a trace. Neither her husband nor any of her maids had any idea of her fate. In fact, for nearly two weeks, there wasn't a soul who had a clue where Christie was — and people are still asking questions.
Rising star
At 36-years-old, Agatha Christie had already made a huge name for herself. But living large in the literary world was a far cry from her rather humble life in Sunningdale, a quiet suburb about an hour's train ride out of London.
Quiet night
Here Christie lived with her husband, Col. Archibald Christie, and their young daughter. From the outside, everything seemed perfectly normal in the Christie household. But of course, on one cold December night, that all changed.
Gone
December 4th, 1926, officially marked day one of the Agatha Christie mystery. Her disappearance paraded the headlines all across the world. The most famous mystery writer mysteriously vanishes? It was irresistible.
Looking for answers
Search teams were immediately deployed to look for the leading novelist. However, it wasn't until December 6th, two whole days after Christie drove off into the darkness, that police found their first clue.
