In July of 2011, two mysterious deaths will take place only days apart from one another. Both occur within a renowned and historic beachside mansion (the ’Spreckels Mansion’) in the resort city of Coronado, California.

The incidents are separate, however also seemingly related. This case is considered closed by the local County Sheriff’s Office, however it still intrigues and divides true-crime enthusiasts to this day. Presented by Benny.

She then boarded a train from Central Railway station heading home.

The next day, Anita Cobby failed to arrive at work.

On the 24th October 1997 a dinner party is held in Canberra, Australia. Rumour has it that the young couple hosting this dinner (25-year-old Anu Singh and her 26-year-old boyfriend Joe Cinque) have together chosen to end their lives, and this dinner is to be their unspoken "farewell". Nobody mentions the rumour, and nobody warns Joe.
