and i go and she goes, no, the piece of paper here. the torn paper was an old direct mail sales coupon for a construction glass on one side and on the other, a have you seen me notice for cindy zarzycki, with her picture and a 1-800 call line for leads. we re ecstatic. we re sitting there, why would this guy have this on his property? maybe because his son was involved and it was the girlfriend and maybe the son had put it in there. we were thinking the same way. we re going, man this is probably scott s, they re going to say this is scott s stuff, you know. and then we looked at the expiration date on the back of the advertisement there it was in the small print, expires june 1995. and why is that important? well, scott died july 4th of 1994. scott was dead by the time this thing was put into this keepsake box? that s correct. was this the best evidence you had to date? well, the only physical evidence we had. had mac and his partner stumbled upon a pedop
seriously flawed and botched from the get-go. now two decades later, mac asked theresa to come down to the eastpointe p.d. and go over her story yet again. this time it was a different experience. i knew right away walking in there that he was listening to what i was saying. very intently. the story that the two friends told had for some reason never made it into the police files. it had to do with a surprise birthday party for scott and a planned meeting at the dairy queen. cindy had been over at kathy s house that saturday evening. cindy said she was going to hook up with scott s father in the morning. and she had mentioned that she was going to go to this belated birthday party. she was supposed to meet art at the dairy queen the next day, sunday. how d she talk about this person, art? she was just very, you know, very friendly with them.
from cindy s house and she had standing orders from her dad never to walk home, but she did. and a single dad raising a teenager needed his rules followed. and so i had grounded her which meant what? come home right after school? right after school and to stay at the house. grounded. no mall, no scott. they went to different schools. i think she was probably frustrated like any 13-year-old would be when grounded, but then at that time, the most important thing on her mind was scott, you know. how am i going to talk to scott? how am i going to see scott? after school friday, april 18th, 1986, cindy said good-bye to her friends cathy and theresa and reported directly home as per her father s punishment. but the next evening, saturday, cindy bolted from house arrest. well, she called me and wanted to come over, and she escaped her house, came over to my house between 6:00 and 6:30. she wasn t supposed to be there? no. the two girls talked about, what else, scott.
kathy bouford and theresa olechowski. they both told the jury, as they said they told the police back in 1986, about cindy s plans to meet her boyfriend s father, art ream. they were making plans, they were going to go down and meet at dairy queen. she told me she would be meeting arthur ream, scott s father, at the dairy queen, because he was going to take her to a surprise birthday party for scott in pontiac. but the party was a ruse later testimony would reveal. scott s birthday had been in january, not april when cindy disappeared. the invitation, kaplan argued, was merely a ploy to lure cindy to the dairy queen and then into ream s van and she hadn t been seen since. i know that cindy is in a much better place. she s not on earth right now. she didn t run away. i believe she s with the lord. and where was cindy s boyfriend scott on that sunday in question april 20th? not in michigan, according to a late-addition witness.
