Cindy Michelle Marzano, 29, left her 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. shift on March 14, 1996, planning to meet an acquaintance, Karl Lee Myers, for coffee. She was seen with a man presumed to be Myers at a Denny’s for about thirty minutes after she clocked out at 9:09 p.m.; that was the last confirmed sighting of her alive. Early the next morning, March 15, her body was found face down in the water at the Highway 33 Landing near the Port of Catoosa. Her blouse and bra were pulled up, and she had multiple blunt and sharp injuries and abrasions; the cause of death was asphyxiation.

Investigators focused on Karl Lee Myers. He gave multiple, conflicting accounts—initially denying seeing Marzano, later saying they met but he went home by 11:45 p.m., then admitting to consensual sex. Spermatozoa recovered from her body matched his DNA. A fellow inmate, Sidney Byrd, testified that Myers confessed to strangling Marzano. Myers was arrested, tried, convicted of first-degree murder, and the jury found four aggravating circumstances, resulting in a death sentence.

Did anyone who knew Cindy or saw her that night come forward with information about where she went after leaving the restaurant?
