There was her purse, drink, and a half eaten donut left in the laundromat.

Witnesses state she got into a faded beige 1965 Plymouth Belvedere. This is were the witness accounts differ, one of the accounts states that the car was occupied by one man and one women, the other states the car had two women in the 20s’ inside the vehicle.

In 1991, a witness came forward, stating Cyndi was seen with Hobart Green minutes before she disappeared. Green pleased guilty in 1986 for second degree murder of his infant son. Green is also a suspect in his ex wife, Maxine Beatrice Green’s disappearance 15 years before Cyndi’s disappearance. Maxine was never found and charges have never been charged. Authorities have never verified if Green was in fact with Cyndi or whether he is even a suspect.

Several reported sighting where reported, with her supposedly traveling around Kansas with a religious group. This was never confirmed.

By all accounts Cyndi was a popular student. She made good grades, and had just made the cheerleading team. Authorities classify her disappearance as missing under suspicious circumstances and possible taken against her will.
