INDEPENDENCE TWP. — Last month marked 39 years since the disappearance of Cindy Louise Moore, an area woman who worked at the U.S. Postal Service in Troy.
While the Oakland County Sheriff’s Cold Case Unit has been working on the case for years, police are seeking tips or possible information on the disappearance of Moore.
According to police, Moore had left her shift at 11 p.m. on Thursday, May 23, 1985, and was headed to Warren to pick up her then two-year-old son from her estranged husband William Moore. From there, she was planning to travel to Independence Township where she was staying with her parents.
Moore never picked up her son that day and she has not been heard from since that day.
Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard believes that someone, somewhere may know what happened to Moore. The Cold Case Unit for the Sheriff’s Office has been working on the case in hopes that publicity surrounding her disappearance may generate information that can explain just what happened to the 28-year-old mother, a release from the OCSO states.
“Sometimes, after years have passed, people that had information or knowledge are more willing to share and come forward,” Bouchard said. “Often times the guilt has been weighing on them or the fear has diminished. Please help us give this family some closure. Contact us If you have any information that would be helpful.”
Moore’s case is officially classified as “Endangered Missing,” police documents state.
According to the OCSO, Moore’s last known sighting was by a coworker who saw her driving her silver 1984 Ford Tempo near the intersection of 14 Mile Road and I-75 about 15 minutes after she left work on May 23, 1985. One week later, her car was found backed into a parking space in front of room number 153 at the Red Roof Inn on 14 Mile and John R in Madison Heights.
Police reports state that the car had been there since she had been seen the week before. The car was locked, no keys were found and police state there was no evidence of struggle.
Moore had recently put a down payment on a mobile home in Auburn Hills and was planning to move there with her son, police state. She left behind all of her clothes and her bank account was never accessed since her disappearance.
According to detectives, foul play is suspected in the disappearance and police state that her husband was considered a suspect in Moore’s disappearance as he had admitted to assaulting her during an argument.
Additionally, police note that a pool at the family home in Warren was filled in shortly after Moore’s disappearance. The pool was dug up by police and no body was found.
Police are asking if anyone has information about the case to contact the OCSO at 248-858-4950. — Megan Kelley
