Cynthia Bah-Traore Part 2: The Fight

Last week, you heard the first part of Cynthia's story. You learned about her life, marriage, pending divorce, and how she disappeared on February 3, 2021. The last confirmed sighting of Cynthia was at a gas station in Grandview, Texas, around 10:35 PM. Multiple witnesses reported that she appeared to be in the midst of a mental health crisis. Cynthia had called friends, and they mentioned that her behavior was confusing. A patron at the gas station stated that she entered his vehicle and left her phone behind when she exited. Another witness remembered Cynthia running up behind his truck and asking for a ride. However, no one stopped to assist her. Cynthia then got back into her vehicle, and her car was seen approaching the exit. Law enforcement suspects that the camera malfunctioned at that moment, and they lost sight of Cynthia's vehicle, making it impossible to determine the direction it headed next. Cynthia's destination after leaving the gas station remains unknown. Two days later, Cynthia's family reported her missing. Fast forward to February 16, Cynthia's Mazda was found on an interstate highway headed towards Waco, TX. The vehicle had run out of gas, and the officer who spotted it confirmed that it hadn't been there 24 hours earlier. Where had the car been since February 3? Was Cynthia the person who left it there, or had someone else abandoned it? One notable point is that on the evening of her disappearance, witnesses remembered seeing Cynthia, but no one has ever claimed to have seen her again. So, what could have happened to Cynthia?
