On April 1, 2020, a 29-year-old woman named Lucinda Denise Farris vanished from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She was last seen leaving Green Street with a friend, and since that day, there has been no communication from her. For reasons that are not publicly clear, Lucinda was not officially reported as a missing person until June 6, more than two months after she was last seen.
Her mother, Marie Farris, has spoken about the devastation of not hearing from her daughter, explaining that it is a mother's intuition to know when something is wrong. She described Lucinda as a giving person who could light up a room and make people laugh.
Lucinda is a Black female with black hair and brown eyes. At the time of her disappearance, she was 5'4' and weighed approximately 105 pounds. She has several distinguishing marks, including a tattoo of a flower on her right upper arm near the shoulder. She also has scars on both of her cheeks, her right elbow, and her left wrist. Her family and friends affectionately call her 'Cindy' or 'Sweet P.' The Winston-Salem Police Department is the primary agency investigating her case and has classified her as an endangered missing person, with suspicion of foul play.
The investigation into Lucinda's disappearance has been fraught with limited details, making the search for answers challenging for her loved ones and law enforcement. In early 2021, police indicated they had a person of interest but did not release a name publicly. At that time, investigators believed she might be somewhere between Winston-Salem and Atlanta. A detective with the Winston-Salem police homicide unit stated a belief that the person she was last seen with may have caused her harm. The case remains an active and open investigation, with her family holding out hope for answers and her safe return. The lack of concrete information and the passage of time have created an agonizing uncertainty for those who know and love Lucinda.Last Seen: Apr 1, 2020
