In 1980 20 year old Cindy Anderson was being haunted by a series of frightening dreams.in one episode an acquaintance she lets in the door betrays her trust,says her sister Christine.
on august 4th 1981, Cindy went to work as usual.as she was employed as a legal Secretary she worked in the office alone in the mornings,that's why she keeps the doors locked.moreover there was buzzer installed on her desk to alert the shop next door in times of trouble
One day, at noon, Jim Rabbitt and Jay
Feldstein, two of the lawyers, arrived back at their office after a
meeting. According to Jim Rabbitt:
"Jay and I came back from downtown,
got to the door and the lights were on, the door was locked. We unlocked
the door, went inside, yelled for Cindy and there was no answer. I
started to look around out front. Cindy, when she would leave, would
place the phones on hold and that wasn't done either."
Jim Rabbitt said that there was a romance novel on Cindy's desk opened to the only violent scene in the whole book, where the heroine is abducted at the knife point.
Cindy was never seen again. There was no body, no farewell letter, no hint where she had gone, or why she had disappeared.were the dreams an indication for this incident, or was it just a mere coincidence?
Cindy's sister had no idea why she might leave on her own:
"At the time of Cindy's
disappearance, there were no circumstances in her life that any of us
were aware of that would've caused her to have run away. She was looking
forward to quitting her job in two weeks and going to a Bible college
that she would attend with her boyfriend. She was very excited about
it."
Cindy's dad said he noticed a change in his daughter's behavior:
"Just before she disappeared however,
she was becoming like a debutante. She was spending a lot of time on
her face and herself and she'd skip breakfast for this reason. And that
may be part of the problem."
the day cindy vanished, the police began searching for clues. Cindy's purse, her keys were missing.but the office was undisturbed.an there were no signs of struggle
a lady who was a client of the law office Cindy worked in, said that Cindy received a phone call , which scared her to death.she said that cindy was honestly and sincerely scared.moreover,the lady even called the police department to check on cindy because she was very very scared.
In September, 1981, a month after Cindy
vanished, another strange phone call gave police a new lead. According
to Det. Adams, a woman called to report that Cindy was being held in the
basement of a white house:
"She said that she was scared and she
was talking in low whispers. She kept saying she had to go. I kept
begging her to stay on the line, give me more information, give me an
exact address, something that we could act on. A short while later, she
again called. The lady mentioned that there were two houses side by side
owned by the same family, and that the family was out of town. But
their son was home and he was the party that was holding Cindy in the
basement. We did check street after street on the north end to see if we
could find two houses side by side. There's many, but you can't find
any positive location to the house."
till today, there have been no clues for Cindy Andersen missing case.the police did catch 9 drug traffickers and some suspect that Cindy knew one of them and she was killed after she overheard their conversations.
