THE Lady Vanishes

When a woman leaves her home in Nova Scotia to travel to England, it isn't usually cause for an international criminal investigation. But, the script for Heli Munroe's trip is straight out of Alfred Hitchcock. Heli's husband, Sandy, says she simply vanished one day and that her own brother was her kidnapper. Now, he can't get her back.

With a story like that, Sandy reaped a lot of public sympathy. But, what really happened? Hana Gartner investigates.

Discussion

"How on earth, can evidence that can set an innocent man free, not be shared with the jury panel? I do not know the law, but I do know that this is wrong and I would bet my life on it!"

"This poor man is dying of cancer and at the same time dying for justice in his case to prevail. This is a case where our Prime Minister should step in and intervene promptly!"
