So sad, and also so worrisome. It’s only an hour from Bel Air Md, where Rachel Morin was killed on a trail. Suspect still not found in that case.

New Castle County police are investigating a "suspicious death" after a woman was found in the woods near a portable toilet by a Carousel Park parking lot in Pike Creek on Tuesday morning.

Detectives closed the Skyline Drive parking lot, where many dog walkers park to take their pets to the dog park, as they investigated. Numerous evidence markers could be seen in the gravel lot.

Some of the markers were located near the toilet, while others were on the opposite side of the parking lot.

A handful were clustered around a pair of white Croc shoes, and detectives could be seen taking photos of the shoes and other items of evidence.

I'm just bringing this forward for another MSM outlet. No new info at this point. New Castle Police Dept.

We used to live here for a bit and took our kids fishing there a bunch. Carousel Park is where the New Castle County police horses are stabled. You can see them from the walking trail hanging out in the fields across from the forest. There’s police trucks and vehicles parked there at all times (mostly pickups and horse trailers). A very strange place for a body to turn up

The school she taught at is in my neighborhood. Our youngest son went to preschool there. Clearly our local neighborhood Facebook page is busy with tons of speculation. She was a beloved teacher there.

Any information on where she grew up, I think I knew this person, may have gone to high school with her. Does anyone have any info?

INVESTIGATION UPDATE: DETECTIVES INVESTIGATING SUSPICIOUS DEATH NEAR SKYLINE DRIVE – WILMINGTON
(Wilmington, DE 19808) Detectives from the Criminal Investigations Unit continue their investigation into the suspicious death near Skyline Drive. The female victim has been positively identified as 63-year-old Cynthia Amalfitano of Wilmington. This remains an active and ongoing investigation. The active Gold Alert has been cancelled.

Very sad outcome, my prayers to her family and friends.

 

[Unalienable Rights]

It is very sad outcome. PD says that there doesn't appear to be a threat to the public, but they also say that her death is suspicious. If it does turn out to be a homicide, I see that Wilmington, DE is only 48 miles from Bel Air, MD via I-95, where Rachel Morin was killed on a well-traveled trail. In Rachel's case it was immediately obvious that it was a homicide, so there is probably no similarity, but I thought that the closeness of the two locations, and the fact they are both on I-95, was interesting.

She certainly doesn't look her age!

RIP Cynthia!

I just drove by this park yesterday. Go here a lot to walk my dog. She doesn't live far from the park, so it is feasible she walked or wandered back there.

 

[Sweetluv]

I too live in the vicinity of the park. LE is being vague at this point. Suicide could be a possibility (?) Either way, its tragic..

Definitely not something that happens very often in Pike Creek.

 

[Joe Friday]

If this doesn't turn out to be a suicide, I'm going to lean towards the perpetrator being someone Cynthia knew and her body was possibly dumped at the park. When ever personal items are left at the house, such as phone and purse, nine times out of ten it turns out to be a domestic incident.

Her obituary states she is survived by a former husband and many pets. I wonder if she made arrangements for her pets before she disappeared. What was her state of mind leading up to her disappearance?

"Cindy also loved animals and took care of her cats, fish, horses, and goats, but nothing brought her more joy than her two dogs, Vaughn and Jingles." She was found at a dog park, so were her dogs found near the scene?

 

[bkgregg5]

I’m not sure where her dogs were. I know the preschool where she worked did a candlelight vigil for her on Sunday.
