Agatha Christie vanished at the beginning of December 1926. Her car found abandoned on a road alongside a quarry in Albury in the south of England. This was a news item that made a lot of ink flow in the newspapers of the time.

The strange disappearance, which lasted 11 days for the police and the public, has been the subject of constant questioning by fans of Agatha Christie and the press since 1926. The novelist has always refused to talk about it. Many online articles are now devoted to this event and are added to each other every year. What happened at Newlands Corner on the night of December 3–4, 1926?

The strange case remained unexplained until now.

Agatha Christie’s car was found accidented at the edge of a chalk pit, the front of the car stuck in bushes. Its famous owner had vanished in County of Surrey.
The strange case remained unexplained until now. Did the novelist leave by train after walking in the countryside? Then, who is the woman whose witness, a cyclist, starts the car very early in the morning of Saturday 4th December near Newlands Corner?

Rather than limiting itself to the umpteenth writing of the story of the disappearance of the Queen of Whodunit, a disappearance that was actually temporary, it was possible to conduct a real online investigation, to get an overview of the places crossed by Agatha Christie and, from the high probability of the existence of complicity otherwise addressed by some authors, to deduce the undeniable presence of a second car.

With the introduction of this new element, we can perceive that on Friday, December 3 at around 9:45–10:00 pm, Agatha Christie goes to London or to an agreed location somewhere in southwest London to join the person who has agreed to drive the second car. She precedes her to Newlands Corner, a hill in Surrey that she knows well. She often crosses this sightseeing point from Sunningdale in Berkshire to go to her mother-in-law’s house in Dorking. She had spent there on the way there and back that very afternoon. And the place is close to Godalming, the place where her husband Archibald decided to spend the weekend, with friends, in the company of his mistress, Nancy Neele.

Both cars arrive at the main Clandon intersection and head for Newlands Corner. Around 11:30pm they produce a background sound which is heard by a gypsy woman from a nearby camp.

The details of this strange affair necessarily raise questions to which so far no satisfactory answer has been given. With this theory, it supposes a sleepless night for Agatha Christie. But didn’t she have the ability to drive for a long time? And wasn’t the love of speed and exhilaration at the wheel felt by several of her characters?
