Case Story |
|
| |
A Date With A Killer |
|
| |
Cynthia Wood was 33, separated, and starting a new life in Tampa with her nine year old son. She was hopeful she would win custody of her two younger children who were living with their father.
Cynthia hadn't dated since her separation but had a potential suitor, a man who frequently came by the daycare center where Cynthia worked. Every time he picked up his "cousin's children" he would asked Cynthia on a date.
On June 5th, 1984, Cynthia finally agreed to go on a dinner-date with Donald Santini.
Before she left on her date that night, Cynthia told her son she really didn't want to go, that she only said yes, so Santini would leave her alone.
She kissed her son goodbye and went off with Santini in his brown van.
That was the last time Cynthia Woods was ever seen alive. |

Murder For Hire |
|
| |
On June 9th, Cynthia's body was found floating in a ditch in Hillsborough County, not far from where police had discovered the bodies of two other women murdered weeks before. Was there a serial killer in the area?
Police quickly realized that the man who strangled Cynthia didn't match the M.O. of the other killer.
Santini's girlfriend came forward days later. She said she had sex with Santini the night of June 5th and he had confessed to killing Cynthia as a contract murder. Santini said he had dumped Cynthia's body where the other victims had been found hoping to throw police off his trail.
Santini has been on the run 21 years. Once he's arrested, it is the hope of the Hillsborough Sheriff's office that they will have enough to charge the person who allegedly hired Santini. |
