In December 1977, human remains were discovered in a wooded area of Wilson County, North Carolina. These remains have now been identified as those of Cindy Marcell Blizzard, a 15-year-old girl who had run away from her home in Monkton, Maryland, during the spring of 1977. The remains were found near a manufacturing plant and were believed to have been there for between six months and two years before they were discovered. At the time, investigators thought the remains belonged to a white female between the ages of 16 and 23. Although the case was treated as a homicide due to the circumstances of the discovery, no suspects were ever identified, and the identity of the remains could not be confirmed at the time. In 2010, a state anthropologist revisited the case and submitted the remains’ teeth for DNA testing. The resulting DNA profiles were entered into national databases, but no matches were found. Nearly two decades later, in 2024, a special investigator from the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation's Cold Case Investigative Team, Andy Murr, sent a bone sample to a forensic DNA lab. The lab extracted genetic material to create a detailed profile, which was used to trace potential relatives. This process led investigators back to Cindy Blizzard's case. The identification was confirmed through genetic information and collaboration between local, state, and federal agencies. Cindy Marcell Blizzard’s case remains unsolved, and the investigation into her death is ongoing. Authorities are still seeking any information that might help uncover the truth. Anyone with information about Cindy Blizzard is encouraged to contact the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation's Cold Case Tip Line, email the agency, or reach out to the Wilson County Sheriff's Office. These efforts continue in the hope of bringing closure to Cindy's family and advancing the case.
