When she failed to return the
next morning, an alarm was
raised. Later that day her car
was found in a ditch off the
side of the road, a few miles

mistress.
The
car
was
abandoned and covered in
frost, with the lights left on.

Inside was an expired driver's
license identifying the car's
former occupant as Christie,
a fur coat, and a small
suitcase containing a couple
of pieces of clothing.
Amidst a big media frenzy,
around 15,000 volunteers
searched the surrounding
areas. For the first time in
British history, planes were
used as part of a search party
and when the police came to
know of Archie's affair, he was
marked down as the prime
suspect. The police tapped his
phones and he was trailed
wherever he went.
