About this episode
In the spring of 1986, Cindy Zarzycki is 13 years old and, in so many ways, she’s a typical teen: She loves music, plays softball, and has a crush on a guy named Scott. But when she takes off one weekend to go see him, she never returns home. Discounted as a runaway, police sit on her case for years before realizing — they’d gotten it all wrong.
