The Mysterious Dissapearance

Agatha Christie's car was found the following morning in the state of dishevelment on the edge of a quarry near the Silent Pool. It was feared that the writer drowned herself in the spring, but the main suspect at the time was her unfaithful husband Archibald Christie.

Eleven days after Christie disappeared, she was found in a spa hotel in Harrogate, where she had been staying since the day after her disappearance with no ____ (1) of who she was — she checked in under the name of Neele, which was the surname of her husband's mistress. As an eye witness reported later, Christie enjoyed herself there, playing the piano, singing, and reading newspapers in the library. She didn't know her name so she didn't recognise herself in the newspapers. She didn't even recognise her own photograph.

The writer remembered nothing of the past 11 days. She confessed that she'd had a severe ____ (2) on the head from the car accident, but that was rather unlikely to cause her to ____ (3) her memory. The ____ (4) will try to find out who they are and where they are and she didn't behave like that at all. It's possible that Christie had dissociative fugue, formerly called ____ (5). People suffering from this disorder lose their sense of ____ (6). They go on a fugue to escape from an intolerable situation and wander away from their usual surroundings. Although they may experience amnesia, outwardly their behaviour seems completely normal.

There are different theories about what happened on that cold evening of December 1926, yet no one really knows the truth. More than 90 years later, Agatha Christie's disappearance still remains a mystery.
