without someone going with me. but i think she really wanted to see scott and she would've done just about anything maybe. >> it was truly amazing what they were telling me. >> it had taken more than 20 years, but police had finally stitched together a timeline for what was certainly cindy's final weekend. the bait, a chance to be with the puppy love boyfriend scott, the boy's father waiting in his white van at the dairy queen. >> i remember him specifically saying to her on the phone, this was one of the conversations she told me about. that he didn't understand why ed zarzycki would ground her from walking home from the mall because it was no big deal. i think he was trying to make her feel comfortable with him. >> the story told by both girls, now adults, absolutely floored mac. various cops over the years, even mac had talked to them, but somehow didn't hear it or didn't extract it, or maybe it wasn't offered in the same way. despite his excitement, mac had one nagging question.
if he'd help coach the team that coming season. >> it was kind of exciting because it was something that, as a father, i could connect with her. >> it hadn't been easy for cindy's father, raising a son and two daughters by himself after the marriage broke up. ed zarzycki was a school custodian. what exactly to do with a young daughter, other than love her, perplexed him a bit. so this new softball connection was a welcome one between father and daughter. >> i mean, i had no problems with her. it was a joy to watch her come home from school and that because she had so much enthuseiasm in her and she always had a smile. >> and not at all a shy kid. there was that time the summer before on a family camping trip across the river in canada. >> middle of the night and the bonfire was going and at that time, greenwood had that song "proud to be an american," and she was just singing that song just as loud.
