Cynthia L. Deppe was 50 when she was last seen in Los Lunas, New Mexico, on October 9, 2013. She has not been seen or heard from since. At the time she disappeared she was described as a white female with brown hair and blue eyes, 5 feet 9 inches tall and about 130 pounds. The Valencia County Sheriff’s Office is handling the case.

A notable and controversial detail is that Deppe’s animals were found abandoned at her trailer after she vanished. The animals were taken to a shelter, and authorities later charged Deppe with animal cruelty, a move that raised questions about whether the investigation’s early focus diverted attention from searching for her. Very little else has been made public about the circumstances of the day she was last seen or who, if anyone, had recent contact with her.

Did anyone in the community have contact with Cynthia around October 9, 2013, or recall seeing her or her vehicle that day?
