Circumstances of Disappearance​

Light was last seen when her mother-in-law dropped her off in the parking lot of her apartment at about 02:00 am.

Earlier that evening, she had gone to get groceries to make Thanksgiving dinner for her 3-year-old daughter. After that Lorraine went out with friends.

When her sister came home at around 03.00, to the apartment she'd shared with Lorraine, she wasn't there. In the kitchen, the sister saw grocery bags on the floor and a turkey defrosting in the sink.

The answer machine was blinking, and when the sister played the message, she was confused. The caller said it was Lorraine, but it didn't sound like her, saying she had met someone and was going to Mexico for a few days. Her sister knew Lorraine would not have left, especially on Thanksgiving.

When Lorraine didn't show up by Thanksgiving evening, her sister got concerned. She called police, and Harris County Precinct 4 Constables responded and took the report.

At some point, the case was transferred to the Harris County Sheriff's Department's Homicide Division, and the records have been lost.

Foul play is possible.

there seems to be conflicting information...some websites say she was out with friends while others say she was out with her mother-in-law...however they all agree that her mother-in-law dropped her off at her apartment at 2am...i wonder if the police have confirmed this actually happened or if they are just taking the mother-in-law's word for it...could it be that she dropped off groceries at her apartment that same night while her sister was out of town and went out for a drink and never came back...i see the divorce was issued about a year after she disappeared which suggests things may not have been going too well between Lorraine and her husband at the time she disappeared. do we know if the husband and his family made any efforts to find her when she disappeared? maybe the mother in law is hiding something...
as for the voice message whoever made it didn't seem to care that the voice sounded so different from Lorraine's she didn't even bother to get her sister's name right... that shows me that either they weren't very smart or they were pretty sure they weren't going to get caught and had a "whatever" attitude...I wonder if they forced her to make the phone call and she deliberately altered her voice and used "Cindy" instead of "Cynthia" so that when her family heard the message they would know something was wrong...this part of the case is the strangest in my opinion...we'll be left wondering forever I think...
either way
rest in peace

Beautiful eyes! Loraine's dentals are available as noted at Doe, but I wanted to post this photo enlarged because the photo gives a good look at Lorraine's teeth.
