I have always wondered about the ransom calls regarding Cynthia. Could these have been hoax calls or were they made by someone who really had Cyn at one time or still had her? I remember Amy Billig's poor mom getting hoax calls from multiple people regarding Amy's disappearance.
So, if the calls were real, Cyn could have been alive up to 6 months after she went missing. Why weren't there more calls? Did the caller die? Was there a Stockholm syndrome situation going on? I know a 13-year-old isn't a baby, but it is not that hard to convince a young teen of things- like "You have to stay with me because your family doesn't want you." etc. Was Cyn held in some sort of captivity like Jacie Dugard??
So frustrating that we don't know more about this case and that her family is so quiet about it now. Don't know if they were more involved when it happened, but I suspect so.
Also, I know several children from prominent families who didn't go to the dentist unless there was an issue. Going to the dentist was not a requirement for school attendance as it is now. If Cyn had no dental pain or abnormalities, it would not have been that unusual, for the time, for her not to visit a dentist. Today, we take our children regularly. In the 70's, not so much. Most of my friends in elementary school did not go to the dentist on a regular basis..and I came from an upper-middle-class family and went to private school. I had teeth issues. so I went to the dentist the first time in Kindergarten and I remember being one of the few.
