Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP6608) and 7 other sources
Cindy Loretta Rowles, aged 17, disappeared on August 16, 1986, from Kingston, New York. On the day of her disappearance, Cindy was seen as a passenger in a car circling the parking lot of a restaurant at the intersection of Route 28 and Maverick Road in West Hurley, New York. After leaving her home, she was never heard from again. Investigators have noted that Cindy has not used her Social Security number or credit cards since her disappearance, and she has not been in contact with family members, which has raised concerns about her safety.

Cindy is described as a Caucasian female with sandy blonde hair, blue eyes, and a tattoo on her left arm. She also wore glasses. Despite various leads over the years, her case remains unsolved. In 2006, a man with a history of mental illness came forward, claiming involvement in both Cindy’s case and another missing person case, but there was not enough evidence to charge him. Authorities continue to consider her disappearance suspicious, and she is classified as an endangered missing person.

The Kingston Police Department continues to investigate her case, and any new information is crucial to solving this decades-old mystery.
