As seen on the Oxygen mini-series The Disappearance of Maura Murray When an eleven year old James Renner fell in love with Amy Mihaljevic, the missing girl seen on posters all over his neighborhood, it was the beginning of a lifelong obsession with true crime. That obsession leads James to a successful career as an investigative journalist. It also gave him PTSD. In 2011, James began researching the strange disappearance of Maura Murray, a UMass student who went missing after wrecking her car in rural New Hampshire in 2004. Over the course of his investigation, he uncovers numerous important and shocking new clues about what may have happened to Maura, but also finds himself in increasingly dangerous situations with little regard for his own well-being. As his quest to find Maura deepens, the case starts taking a toll on his personal life, which begins to spiral out of control. The result is an absorbing dual investigation of the complicated story of the All-American girl who went missing and James's own equally complicated true crime addiction. James Renner's True Crime Addict is the story of his spellbinding investigation of the missing person's case of Maura Murray, which has taken on a life of its own for armchair sleuths across the web. In the spirit of David Fincher's Zodiac, it is a fascinating look at a case that has eluded authorities and one man's obsessive quest for the answers.

Agatha Christie vanished from her Sunningdale, Berkshire, home on the evening of December 3 and went missing for 11 days. The largest missing person manhunt in British history began when the crime writer's abandoned car was found. It's astonishing that such a well-chronicled event of Christie's life has remained resistant to the narrative closure that was so vital to her own work considering her status as the bestselling author of all time, outselling only the Bible and Shakespeare in terms of sales. Whether Agatha Christie's disappearance was caused by the psychological repercussions of the sadness she was experiencing or if there were additional factors may never be known. But there's no denying that her marriage to Archie Christie disintegrating was a painful event. After ultimately divorcing in 1928, Archie married Nancy Neele, his mistress. Later, Agatha married Max Mallowan, an archaeologist, in 1930. On January 12, 1976, at the age of 85, Agatha Christie passed away at her Wallington, Oxfordshire, home from age-related natural causes.
