Cassandra Elizabeth Durham was 19 when she left Baltimore, Maryland, with her boyfriend, Eric Buikema, for Roscommon, Michigan, in the summer of 1987. The last contact with her family was a phone call from the Roscommon area in August 1987. She is described as White, 5 feet 5 inches, about 110 pounds, with brown neck-length hair, blue eyes, and two tattoos on her hip/thigh: her boyfriend’s initials EB and a college sorority’s initials (unspecified). She was believed to be carrying a small black purse.

The couple reportedly drove a 1980 Honda Civic station wagon and stopped at Cedar Point in Ohio. Their car is said to have broken down near Detroit; Buikema allegedly bought an Oldsmobile Cutlass and they continued to Roscommon to stay with his grandfather. Buikema later returned to Baltimore in 1988 or 1989 without Cassandra and told investigators they had both returned to Maryland, a claim Cassandra’s father disputes. The Michigan State Police have reopened the cold case and are seeking information about her whereabouts after that August 1987 call.

If anyone knew Cassandra, traveled with her that summer, or has information about the trip or the vehicles mentioned, please share what is known.
