On one occasion, The Vancouver Sun reports Cindy James was found unconscious with a knife embedded in her hand. When interviewed by police, James said a man entered her yard through a back gate and struck her on the head. On another occasion, she claimed she was attacked while walking her dog. Over a period of seven years, James reported nearly 100 incidents involving her unknown stalker. In addition to the calls, letters, and physical attacks, Edmonton Journal reports that James’ home was severely damaged in a fire — which was determined to be caused by arson. However, authorities had begun to suspect she was personally involved in many, if not all, of the incidents.

Following one of the reported physical attacks at her home, authorities asked James to take a lie detector test. As reported by The Vancouver Sun, she ultimately consented to two tests, and both suggested she was being untruthful. Although she ultimately changed the details of her story, James insisted she was physically attacked. At one point, James suggested her former husband, Roy Makepeace, may have been responsible for the harassment. However, authorities organized week-long surveillance of Makepeace and were unable to prove he had any involvement.
