Cynthia Anderson was having recurring dreams that a stranger abducted and murdered her.

And then she vanished without a trace on August 4, 1981.

Cynthia left her parents house for work at 8:30am. When the attorneys got into the office that afternoon, they discovered the radio and lights on, their desks readied for the day, and Cynthia's romance novel face down on her desk open to the only violent scene in the book - where the heroine is abducted at knifepoint.

Cynthia's purse and keys were missing, but her car was still parked in the lot.

What happened to Cynthia Jane Anderson? Today, our special guest Jay and I dive into this eerie case.
