Circumstances of Disappearance
Cindy May Brown was last seen in Roseville on July 29, 1980. Patrick Thomas Walsh is a suspect in her disappearance. He has a history of violent crime against women. Cindy, from Duluth, began living with Walsh sometime in 1979 or 1980. When Roseville police investigated in 1980, they learned she had told her supervisor at a Kmart store that she was leaving town. Walsh told police in 1980 she had left for California in a van with two men and a woman.

At the time, police figured Brown had left of her own free will. The case was later reopened as a possible homicide as Walsh became a suspect in another murder. Foul play is suspected.

This is the second woman in MN, who disappeared from a Kmart store. Susan Swedell had also disappeared after her shift at a Kmart. Where is Susan Swedell? Washington County reignites 30-year-old investigation – Twin Cities

This says she was last heard from in California. Still looking for more to back this up because nothing else points to her ever making it there.

But, I wonder how they knew it was for sure her calling?

Bump.

Also, my understanding is that PTW said to the police that he last heard from her back in California, which could be lies. It doesn't sound to me that she made it there.

Bumping.

I found this on the MN DPS website- no new information, but I noticed her name is spelled "Cindi" Brown

Just a tiny mention, but at least it keeps Cindy's name/case out there...

Cindy Brown (also spelled Cindi), Roseville​

Brown, 22, was living with Patrick Thomas Walsh in Roseville when she disappeared in 1980. When Roseville police investigated at the time, they learned Brown had told her supervisor at a Kmart store that she was leaving town and police thought she’d left of her own free will.

Walsh was arrested in the 1991 killing of 35-year-old Pamela Sue Sweeney, who was his co-worker, which led police to look at Brown’s case as a possible homicide, according to news articles from the time. Brown remains missing. Walsh is still in prison for Sweeney’s killing.
