she had no mental illnesses, she is the last 13-year-old that would run away. >> what had happened to her then was suggested by the testimony of her two best friends, kathy buford and creasa. they told the jury as they said they told police in 1986 about cindy's plans to meet her boyfriend's father art ream. >> they were making plans, they were going to go down meet at dairy queen. >> she told me that she would be meeting meeting 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. scott's birthday had been in january, not april when cindy disappeared. the invitation kaplan argued was merely a employ 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.
