(CBS DETROIT) – The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office is seeking information regarding the disappearance of 28-year-old Cindy Moore, who was last seen 39 years ago.
Authorities said Moore, who worked for the U.S. Postal Service in Troy, left work on May 23, 1985, and was supposed to pick up her son at her estranged husband’s home in Warren. However, Moore did not make it to her home or her parents’ home in Independence Township.
Investigators said the last known sighting of her was reported by a co-worker 15 minutes after she left work. The co-worker reported seeing her driving her silver 1985 Ford Tempo near the intersection of 14 Mile Road and Interstate 75.

According to the sheriff’s office, her car was found a week later parked in front of the Red Roof Inn at 14 Mile Road and John R in Madison Heights. Investigators determined the car had been there since she was last seen and was locked with the keys missing.
Police suspect foul play and consider her estranged husband, William Moore, a suspect. William Moore admitted assaulting his wife during an argument.
Police searched the backyard of their Warren home but found no body.
“Sometimes, after years have passed, people who had information or knowledge are more willing to share and come forward,” Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard said in a statement. “Often the guilt has weighed on them or the fear has subsided. Please help us give this family some closure. Please contact us if you have any information that could be helpful.”
Anyone with information is asked to call the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office at 248-858-4950.
