Cynthia Lynn Maine, 26, was last seen in San Diego on February 21, 1986. On the day she vanished she told family she was going to a movie and did not return. She called her mother two days later, and that was the last confirmed contact.

Cynthia was on probation after a jail stint for writing bad checks, had a history of heroin addiction, and worked as a police informant. Her car turned up abandoned six weeks after she disappeared in a restaurant parking lot in La Mesa; her purse, jacket and cash were still inside. She had been romantically involved with a police officer and reportedly provided information on other officers. Several other women tied to the same officer and similar circumstances were found murdered around the same time, which has complicated the case.

Her disappearance remains unsolved and she has been declared legally dead. Does anyone have information about Cynthia’s movements in late February 1986 or about contacts she was reporting to investigators?
