the BBC website, which had been buried in the Bristol section of Local News. There were bigger stories in both the Bristol Post and the Western Daily Press , but neither offered much more than the bare bones, naming Korin, giving her age, her occupation as a part-time accountant, and then stating that she’d abandoned her car, a Ford Focus, at Stoke Point. Neither paper made any allusion to the most compelling aspect of the case – that she was seen entering, but never exiting, the car park – but that was probably more to do with the fact that, so soon after she vanished, the police would still have been in the process of procuring security footage, or at the very least going through it, so wouldn’t themselves have beenfully aware of the circumstances. It was hard to see the perplexity of her disappearance burning to dust so quickly otherwise.
    I’d hoped to find a picture of her in the local newspaper stories, just to get a sense of what she looked like, but the web versions only carried generic, photo library shots of the peninsula, so I shifted my attention to social media instead. That proved to be another dead end. Her surname was unusual, at least in the UK, so it was pretty easy to see that she didn’t have a Facebook page, a Twitter account or anything beyond that. I’d held on to the hope, as she’d still been working a couple of days a week, that she’d maintained a LinkedIn profile – a photograph perhaps, or a CV – but that was another blank.
    I decided to head back to Google and widen the search. Instead of tagging Lynda Korin with terms like Stoke Point and disappearance , I just typed in her name and hit Return. It would mean getting a ton of hits for women with the same name, but that didn’t matter.
    The top hit was for a doctor in Tampa, the second was for a psychiatrist in Cleveland, and the third was the MD of a corporate training company in Munich.
    It was the fourth that caught my eye.
Lynda Korin – IMDb
www.imdb.com/name/lk0091251
Lynda Korin , Actress: Ursula of the SS. Lynda Korin was born on September 13, 1952, in Lakeville, Minnesota. She is best known …
    It’s her .
    It was the town she was born in, it was her date of birth.
    Confused, I clicked on the link and followed it to an IMDb profile page. On the left, there was no professional photograph of her, only a cropped poster for a film called Cemetery House . Her name was at the bottom in tiny black letters and she was running towards the camera, screaming, while a vague, monster-shaped shadow lurched in her direction from the background. It was the only picture of her anywhere on the page. I’d never heard of the movie before, I’d never heard of any of the movies listed in her filmography, but the way she looked on the poster stopped me dead. She was absolutely stunning – pale skin, blonde-haired, blue-eyed.
    A moment later, the train wheezed into the station. I waited for the doors to slide open, stepped inside, then switched my attention to Korin’s biography.
Lynda Korin is an actress and former model, primarily known for her eponymous role in the cult Nazi exploitation movie Ursula of the SS (1977), as well as its sequels Ursula: Queen Kommandant (1978) and Ursula: Butcher of El Grande (1978). Famously, she married the director Robert Hosterlitz after meeting him on the set of the first Ursula in Madrid, which he was making under the alias Bob Hozer. She went on to appear in all eleven films Hosterlitz made in Spain between 1979 and 1984. After his retirement, the two of them moved to Somerset, UK, where Korin gave up acting to retrain in accountancy.
    I felt completely thrown – and not just by Korin’s former career as an actress in low-budget horror movies. I’d grown up watching films in an old art deco cinema along the coast from my parents’ farm in south Devon; movies had becomean obsession, a way of escaping the boredom of life in a one-street village, the routines of the farm, the solitude of being an
