How Did She Fool The Police Minutes Before Vanishing?

Описание: If you saw a terrified young woman standing completely barefoot on a freezing winter street, you would call the police. And someone did. So how did she vanish just moments after they arrived?

In November 2012, 26-year-old Emma Fillipoff was spiraling into a state of severe, unexplained paranoia in Victoria, British Columbia. She was convinced someone was following her, hiding in the shadows of the city. On the night she disappeared, concerned witnesses called 911 after seeing Emma standing barefoot on the cold pavement in front of the Empress Hotel, clutching her shoes in her hands and looking utterly terrified.

When police arrived, they spoke with her for 45 minutes. Yet, somehow, a woman who had spent the last several days acting deeply paranoid and erratic managed to completely compose herself. She spoke clearly, answered their questions, and convinced seasoned officers that she was perfectly fine and just waiting for a friend. The officers cleared the call and drove away. Minutes later, Emma walked into the dark and was never seen again. Did she experience a sudden, catastrophic break from reality, or was the person she was terrified of watching her the entire time, forcing her to lie to the cops?
