Cynthia Bulmer was 40 when she was last seen the evening of March 26, 1998, in Lockport, New York. Witnesses placed her at Kendzies Restaurant on Main Street around 10:30 p.m.; she left with two African American men who were later identified but have since died. One was described as her on-and-off boyfriend and was murdered sometime after Cynthia vanished; the other died in prison in 2001. At the time she disappeared Cynthia lived alone in an apartment on Ontario Street, a few blocks from the restaurant.

Investigators noted Cynthia’s involvement with drugs and prostitution and believe her lifestyle may have been a factor in her disappearance. She was not reported missing for several days, which complicated early search efforts. Despite numerous searches over the years she has never been found and foul play is strongly suspected. A reward is still being offered by family for information leading to her safe return.

If anyone knew Cynthia, saw her the night of March 26, 1998, or has information about the two men she left with, please come forward.
