Lucinda Lynn Schaefer, known as Cindy, was a 16-year-old girl who was abducted and murdered on June 24, 1979, in Los Angeles, California. She had recently moved to the area to stay with her grandparents and planned to spend the summer working and enjoying the beach. Cindy was one of five teenage victims taken, assaulted, tortured with tools, and killed by Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris during a five-month crime spree in 1979.

Cindy’s remains were never found despite extensive searches and investigative efforts. Bittaker and Norris were later prosecuted for the series of crimes; Bittaker received a death sentence and Norris took a plea deal and received life imprisonment. The disappearance of Cindy Schaefer and the fact that her body was never recovered leaves unresolved questions for family and investigators.

If anyone knew Cindy, her movements that summer, or has information about her remains, please come forward.
