If you are looking for the area: if you are coming from the west on sunrise Hwy take the service road south- heading towards the Oakdale bypass bridge- right before the bridge there is a small parking lot that one can park their car and go fishing ...if I wanted to see it again today don’t go during rush hour you have to slow down and turn right into the area.
.. the tracks run under the bridge...I’m not sure if the actual spot was west or east of the bridge...east would have put Cynthia near the businesses that back on the tracks and west would have put her near the parking area - it was an unofficial pull off back then. (It was just a sandy dirt spot)but it would have been closer to bubble falls, the muskrat hole and she also had gathered the punks which were scattered about where the scuffle was found. My guess is that she was headed back from bubble falls close to the pull off. I think that possibly someone was passing saw her at the falls, pulled over, waited and planned and took her when she walked past. ..she was pretty with long blonde hair. It could have been any of us, we walked the tracksto bubbles all the time but usually in groups. Oakdale was considered the sticks back then lots of woods. There was also a road that no longer exists that went from the back of idle hour onto the Montauk Hwy bridge..it was a very dangerous turn off as the end, ended at the almost downside of the bridge going east..so someone could have taken Cynthia from the lot, drive onto the bridge, taken the right onto that road and end up in idle hour..the back end where the tracks run through idle hour.
