In the meantime, the press was running rampant with theories, speculations and wild stories as to what could have happened to the writer. There were whispered reports of suicide and accidents, but with no body and no clues, everything was hearsay. Rumours that the disappearance was part of a cleverly planned publicity stunt also spread, although with Christie already being a well-established novelist at the time, the publicity hardly seemed necessary.

But with her sudden reappearance came more questions. According to Christie, she had no idea what had taken place. Seemingly unable to remember any details about what had happened after she walked out her front door that evening 11 days prior, the police were left scratching their heads. Multiple life events, including experiencing two World Wars, the recent death of her mother and the pressure weighing on her as a successful novelist, formed what Worsley believed to be the catalysts in Christie’s disappearance.

Thankfully, Christie recovered from the incident, returning to writing and going on to produce additional instalments of her cherished crime novels and murder mysteries.
