Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP2218) and 5 other sources
Cynthia Ribeiro Braga, a 32-year-old woman, was last seen on July 10, 2003, in Wheaton, Maryland. She lived in the 10700 block of Georgia Avenue and regularly maintained daily contact with her family in Brazil. The last known communication was a phone call to her father on the day of her disappearance. After that, no one heard from her again. Cynthia’s sister, who also lived in the Wheaton area, has not had any contact with her since then.

Foul play is suspected in Cynthia's disappearance. Her husband, Roberto Braga, was considered a person of interest in the case. In 2006, he was charged with assault in an unrelated incident where he allegedly threatened his girlfriend with a knife. Though he was never formally linked to Cynthia’s case, this raised further concerns about his involvement. Investigators believe there may be more to the story, but Cynthia’s case remains unsolved. Her family continues to seek answers as the years have passed without closure.
