Cynthia Ribeiro Braga, 32, was last seen on July 10, 2003, in Wheaton, Maryland. She lived on the 10700 block of Georgia Avenue and maintained daily contact with family in Brazil; the last known communication was a phone call to her father on the day she vanished. Her sister, who also lived in the Wheaton area, has had no contact with Cynthia since that call.

Foul play is suspected in the disappearance. Cynthia’s husband, Roberto Braga, was considered a person of interest. In 2006 he was charged in an unrelated incident for allegedly threatening a girlfriend with a knife; he was never formally linked to Cynthia’s case. Investigators say there may be more to the story, but the disappearance remains unsolved and the family continues to seek answers.

If anyone knew Cynthia, her movements in Wheaton around July 10, 2003, or has information that could help, please share what is known with the appropriate authorities.
