the house she knew stayed in the family, just in case one happy day, she turned up at the front door. one thing that had changed by the early 90s was the name of the town. gritty sounding east detroit had been re-dubbed the more upscale, eastpointe. in the police station, though, nothing had much changed with the cindy cold case file. it had been handed down to officer to officer over the years for only defrosting, mostly chasing down tips of cindy sightings around the country that went nowhere. but after the family s candlelight vigil spurred media interest, a new detective named daniel davis took a look at the file and decided to reclassify it as a possible murder. and officially, that would allow it to be opened. one of detective davis first questions was to find out what cindy s teen crush back then, the boy named scott, knew about her disappearance. scott ream, by then 22 years old, was located and agreed to a
see scott and she would ve done just about anything maybe. it was truly amazing what they were telling me. it had taken more than 20 years, but police had finally stitched together a time line for what was certainly cindy s the boy s father waiting in his white van at the dairy queen. i remember him specifically saying to her on the phone, this was one of the conversations she told me about. that he didn t understand why ed zarzycki would ground her from walking home from the mall i think he was trying to make the story told by both girls, now adults, absolutely floored mac.
when are you starting to get worried, ed? probably about 5:00 or 6:00, it was dinner time and they re usually all home for dinner and she wasn t around. what d you do? i went to the police station. and they told me that i had to wait 24 hours to file a report. she should have been home. she s not home. now we re calling friends, trying to find out where she s at. we went to like the different parks and there was a carnival and not far away, so we went to different places looking for her. what are you thinking? she maybe got hurt? she s in a hospital somewhere? i didn t know. i had no idea. i mean, anything bad wasn t even in the picture. so it was still, boy, is she going to get a talking to when she comes home? yeah. and i figured she d be home. cindy s brother, sister, mother, and father divided the search. two to stay by the phones, the others driving down dark
minor. that s tame-sounding legal language for what the victim, a hitchhiker, said he actually did abducted her, raped her in his car and then tossed her out the door. linda had two children with ream, scott and another boy. children thought the ex who were useful to ream s appetite when the boys became young teens. they attracted young girls and art liked having the young girls around. i think that was why he liked having scott there because he knew that girls would be attracted to him. and you know, he d have this chance to do whatever he wanted to do or whatever he thought he could get away with. he d entice them with alcohol, marijuana, cigarettes, and he would be he d be their friend and he d be the cool dad around, you know. by 2007, with everything mac was learning about art ream, the theory that cindy was merely a teenage runaway was as outdated as her old mix tapes. this was a murder investigation.
