35-year-old Cindy Wanner was kidnapped from her sister’s home in Granite Bay, CA on November 25th, 1991. Her baby was left alone in a highchair. Three weeks later, she was found s/a'd and strangled in a remote area near Foresthill.
The case went cold for 34 years — until advanced DNA matched convicted s/o James Lawhead Jr. Facial recognition technology then helped investigators track him down living under a fake name in Arizona. James Lawhead was arrested in April 2026; his sister was charged as an accessory.
A major cold case breakthrough using modern forensics. Let's discuss everything we know so far!
