S1 Ep12: The Pera Palace Hotel Agatha Christie Mystery

Published: Nov. 5, 2019, 5:45 a.m.

Room 411 in the Pera Palace Hotel is christened the Agatha Christie room. It's thought that's the room the author stayed in while she wrote Murder on the Orient Express.
\n
\nIn 1979 Warner Brothers released the movie Agatha. It was a fictional account of the 11 days Agatha Christie disappeared in 1926.
\n
\nWarner Brothers hired Hollywood medium Tamara Rand, who held a seance and claimed she made contact with the famous mystery writer. Contact that may hold the key to Christie\u2019s disappearance.
\n
\nWell, it did hold a key --literally. On March 7, 1979, upon instructions from Rand, a search beneath the floorboards turned up a key Rand claimed would open a box containing a diary that explained Christie\u2019s 11 missing days.
\n
\nWas a box ever found? Was it all just an elaborate publicity stunt? Does a diary even exist?
\n
\nIt's all part of the mystery of the Pera Palace Hotel.
