Young mystery writer Agatha Christie mysteriously disappeared, early in her marriage to her first husband, when she learned he was cheating on her.[1][3] This disappearance triggered massive press coverage, and other books and films have been based on the disappearance, and speculation as to what she was doing, during her disappearance.
