NC - NC - Fuquay Varina, WhtFem 35-45, 474UFNC, burned alive, may be Canadian, bifocals, Apr'68

I saw a Unipeco pen advertising a radio store in Wisconsin. I haven't put much weight into the locations listed on her possessions. None of the brands she was carrying would be considered obscure.

To answer your question on the other thread, I did see the find a grave (?) you you mentioned, but I am inclined to believe that was just a marker and she wasn't buried.

She was legally declared dead in Feb 1971 by her son

Source: "Family Seeks Death Edict In Oregon Case", The Sacramento Bee, Feb 1, 1971, pg 17.

In Feb 1972 bones were found in Redding that was thought to be her, but turned out to be deer bones. In other articles it's mentioned that her case was closed and had to be reopened when the police thought the bones were human remains. This is also the last article I could find on her.

Source: "Bones Discovered in Redding Area Are Not Human", The Sacramento Bee, March 18, 1972, pg 5.

So by 1972 she was still missing, I searched through newspapers from California/Oregon on Newspapers.com/Newsbank/Press Archive and couldn't find mention of her remains being found. As far as I can tell the two suspects in her case were also never prosecuted (possibly because of lack of body?).

Since she was legally declared dead I think that's why the date of her death on her marker matches the day she disappeared but I could be mistaken.

There seems to have been considerable evidence that she was killed when she disappeared, so using that date on a memorial marker seems reasonable.

I think this gentleman might be her son.

"He was born Nov. 17, 1936, in Mellen, Wis., to Everett and Cynthia Bernice (Reed) Foeller. He moved to Klamath Falls from Seattle, Wash., in 1960."

I believe so too, he's mentioned in the 1971 article. It seems she only had one child (?)

He's the only relative I've found so far.

She seems to have been married at least twice. I'll poke into that later when I have some more time.

Looks like she was married in Ironwood, Michigan to Everett Foeller on Sept 21, 1935.

Ironwood Daily Globe (Ironwood, MI), Oct 1, 1935, pg 6.

She divorced Everett on grounds of cruelty in 1940

Spokane Chronicle (Spokane, WA), 21 March 1940, pg 34

She was married to Mark T. Haworth in 1942 (newspaper incorrectly has his last name as Harworth), at this point she was living in Nez Perce, ID

The Spokeman-Review (Spokane, WA), March 7, 1942, pg 7.
Marriage Record

They were divorced at Nez Perce in 1954


At some point she moved to Dunsmuir, CA with her husband Henry Schultz, I think they were married pretty fast after she divorced Mark but I can't find a marriage record. They moved to Klamath Falls by at least 1961.

Mark Harworth dies in 1960

Death Record

Cynthia goes missing in 1968

Everett dies in 1978

Find a grave

The way the news article refers to her as "Mrs. Reed" and then "also known as Cynthia Schultz" leads me to suspect that she and Mr. Schultz were never legally married.

I wonder if we're distantly related. She lived in several towns where some paternal relatives were living at the time.

Interesting! I didn't catch that, I think you may be right.

Would be quite the coincidence if you did end up being related.
