Michigan authorities reopen unsolved case of 19-year-old girl who disappeared in 1987 after a road trip with her boyfriend

(CBS-DETROIT) – Authorities have reopened the unsolved case of Cassandra Durham, a 19-year-old from Maryland who was reported missing after traveling to northern Michigan to visit her boyfriend’s family.

In the summer of 1987, Durham and her boyfriend left their home in Baltimore to visit his grandparents in Roscommon.

According to Michigan State Police, the couple was believed to be traveling in a 1980 Honda Civic station wagon and made a stop in Ohio to visit Cedar Point.

Apparently the Honda broke down in the Detroit area and Durham’s friend bought a new car, an Oldsmobile Cutlass.

When the friend returned home to Maryland, Durham was not with him.

According to state police, the boyfriend claimed they returned to Maryland, but Durham’s father says his daughter never returned home.

At the time of her disappearance, Durham was described as white, 5’5″ tall, 110 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.

She also reportedly has two tattoos on her hip and thigh area; one has her boyfriend’s initials “EB” and the other is related to her sorority.
