Gina Bridget Cyphers dropped off her toddler at daycare on the morning on Dec. 28, 1995. She was supposed to pick up her boy later that morning, but she never did make it there. Her live-in boyfriend, Jimmie Anderson, got a call from daycare. He went home and found Gina’s body, KSAL reports. He called police.
