In December 1910, the heiress to a perfume empire vanished from the streets of Manhattan while shopping on the illustrious Fifth Avenue.
Her disappearance left the public reeling with questions and speculations, and her family’s secrecy in handling the case only served to amplify the concerns of the mystified onlookers. The family was reluctant to engage the police in their investigation into the socialite’s disappearance, which led to a rift and an apparent power struggle between the two entities.
The actions of the family, investigators, and the missing socialite herself paved the way for a plethora of conspiracy theories, and to this day, the vanishing of New York City socialite Dorothy Arnold remains one of the most infamous missing person cases in American history.

Christina Kettlewell was a beautiful, promising young woman who was busy working on her career and falling madly in love with her boyfriend, Jack. The couple’s evolving romance led them to a spontaneous, maybe even rebellious, marriage. A few days after their wedding, they headed into the Muskoka wilderness to honeymoon at a friend’s cottage. The friend, Ronald, was also Jack’s roommate, and bizarrely enough, Ronald accompanied the two newlyweds on what should have been a private, romantic, getaway.
The events that took place during that fateful trip are shrouded in mystery; there’s a suspicious fire that takes down the cottage and Christina is found dead in mere inches of water.
The inquest into her unexplained death showcased dramatic theories, various versions of events, and gripping eyewitness testimonies, but the biggest question of all was left unanswered – What happened to Christina Kettlewell? How did the eight-day bride meet her fate?
