On May 20, 1947, Christina and Jack Kettlewell were spending their honeymoon in a cottage in a remote area of Severn Falls in Canada.....along with Jack's roommate, Ronald Barrie. When the cottage suddenly catches fire, and Jack is dragged out by Ronald, Christina is nowhere to be found. that is until much later in the day when her body is found 150 ft away, in 9 inches of water. Was this a case of insurance fraud, a woman with attachment and mental issues, or a couple getting rid of a third wheel?
