Cynthia Chandler was 16 when her body was found along the Ventura Freeway embankments in Los Angeles on June 12, 1980. A Caltrans worker discovered her; the autopsy determined she had been shot in the head with a small caliber weapon and had been dead for more than twelve hours, placing time of death around midnight. Her body was nearly nude and showed signs of having been dragged across a rough surface.

Fifteen-year-old Gina Marano was found alongside Cynthia; she had been shot in the head and chest. Both girls were believed to have been killed elsewhere and dumped at the freeway location. Investigators tied these murders to Douglas Clark and Carol Bundy, known as the Sunset Strip Killers. Douglas Clark was arrested, convicted of multiple counts of first-degree murder including the deaths of Cynthia Chandler and Gina Marano, and sentenced to death. Carol Bundy was found guilty and received life without parole after initially confessing and later trying to shift blame.

Does anyone have memories or information about Cynthia’s life, where she spent time, or leads that were not followed at the time?
