Summary
In this tantalizing true mystery of a stolen life, an acclaimed reporter and an identity theft investigator follow a series of incredible revelations about the actual identity of a wife, mother, and friend turned perfect stranger.
Days after Lori Ruff’s suicide, her family discovered her hidden strongbox containing stunning evidence that her entire life had been invented. Her real identity was buried so deep it would take five years to unearth. Who was Lori Ruff?
Maureen O’Hagan’s The Woman in the Strongbox is part of Missing, a collection of six true stories about finding, restoring, or accepting the losses that define our lives - from the mysterious to the inspiring. Each story can be listened to in a single sitting.

Mystery deflated
So a young woman wanted a bit of privacy. it's amazing what people consider to be worthy of hours of work.

Very interesting listen, the story is well written and the narration is clean and easy to listen to. I was hooked from the start, a nice short performance which can be enjoyed in one sitting.

Moira Schitt is the narrator
Great story, extremely interesting. Particularly amused by the narrator who sounds a lot like Moira from Schitt’s Creek.

Beautifully narrated.
One of the best narrator's I've heard on Audible.
Wonderfully written also. All round very good production.

Terrible sound levels
Interesting enough story though disappointed not to really get to the heart of the issue. Narration was a little irritating at the start but soon got used to it. Sound levels were the worst aspect - one moment the narrator was shouting, the next you could hardly hear her!

Dangerous assumptions
Could have been an intriguing story, but dangerous assumptions were made (about the absence of abuse, mental illness, etc...) about what might have led to such a dramatic fleeing from everything that she knew, even her own identity and finally her life. I would suggest that if you don’t know, then please have the integrity to say so.
On top of that I found the narrator grating. The saving grace is that it’s short.
