After separating from her husband of 15 years, Cindy James, a nurse in Vancouver, Canada, was brutally stalked and harassed. Despite nearly seven years of reported incidents of harassment, threatening calls, physical and sexual assaults, and other forms of abuse, police concluded that her claims were likely fabricated, possibly to gain attention or due to mental health issues. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) spent an estimated $1-1.5 million investigating Cindy's claims, making it one of the longest and most expensive investigations in British Columbia history.   Sources:Neal Hall, Torment, The Vancouver Sun, December 30, 1990 Page 6 Brian Driscoll, Two Views of Same Tragedy, Edmonton Journal, February 24, 1991, page 28 Cindy James: Part 1- The Night Stalker.
