She told the people she loved that something bad was going to happen.They told her she was being silly.On August 4, 1981, Cindy left her apartment in Oregon, Ohio, to drive to work. She was 20 years old, ten days away from quitting her job to attend Bible college and become a teacher. She arrived at the law office where she worked as a legal secretary.

Her purse and keys were missing. Her uneaten lunch was on her desk. The radio was still playing. And a romance novel lay open to the only violent scene in the book — a passage about abduction.The emergency buzzer installed at her desk after weeks of threatening phone calls and stalker graffiti on the wall outside her window was never pressed.In this solo episode, Bubah tells the full story — the nightmares, the harassment, the last morning, and the forty-four year silence that followed.
