Later that night, Moore was arrested with another man for having drugs and a hidden weapon. Lucinda wasn’t with them. Her car was found in the bar’s parking lot – the laundry was still inside, but the keys were gone. Two weeks later, her purse was found, but it contained her belongings, offering no clues.

Lucinda’s family believes she wouldn’t abandon her husband and two young children, especially since she was planning a birthday party for her son. Police initially thought serial killer Bobby Joe Long might be involved, but he denied it.

Seven and a half years later, a woman claiming to be Lucinda contacted her daughter. She said she’d run away. This woman looked like Lucinda and knew family details, but DNA tests proved she was someone else – Amanda Dennis, a runaway teenager. This raises the possibility Amanda met Lucinda after her disappearance.

The mystery remains unsolved. While it’s unclear exactly what happened, foul play is suspected. Lucinda’s husband never remarried, and her children still hope to find out what happened to their mother.
