Cindy and her husband, Norman Jones, were involved in a violent argument at their home in the 400 block of north Second Avenue in Wausau, Wisconsin on June 29, 1984. A neighbor saw them; Cindy was bruised, bloody and screaming for help. The neighbor called the police, and when they arrived, Norman told them Cindy had left out the back door. Norman was arrested and charged with his wife's murder in February 1985, but the charge was dismissed in May because authorities were unable to locate Cindy's body. Cindy has three children and has never been heard from again.
