Details: Cynthia was last seen at her family home on Donald street, on or about August 25, 2005. The last two people to see Cynthia were her common law husband and her daughter. She was reported missing to the Ottawa Police on November 11, 2005 by a close friend after realizing that no one – her spouse or her job – else had done so.
Cynthia’s sister described her as being sweet and shy, but admits that they had become estranged after she moved from the Philippines to Canada.
Since she disappeared from her Donald Street apartment, Cynthia has not used her health card, her bank card or her social insurance number. There was also no trace of her in the Philippines, where she lived before immigrating to Canada.
Initially, there was very little done on Cynthia’s case. No media attention, little police investigation. Ottawa police issued a news release that was eventually posted on their website, and there were few media reports. It was reviewed by the major crimes unit in 2010 when the investigator who was initially assigned the case was transferred to major crimes. She took the file with her to the major crimes unit out of personal interest, according to Insp. John Maxwell. In 2013, Cynthia’s sister said police told her that Sunga is presumed dead.

Maxwell said police have no more leads to track down and that there were few leads to begin with. He said police are hoping for more information.
“There’s no crime scene, there’s no ransom note, there’s no witnesses, there’s nothing,” Maxwell said. “Can you call that suspicious? Absolutely. Does it tip it over and make it into a homicide? No. We’re miles from there.
“We have our own cold-case files that are true homicides, so we can’t take on all the cold case missing persons just because it’s possible that there’s foul play there,” Maxwell said.
At the time of this article, Cynthia’s daughter was 11 years old and was living with her father.
To date, Cynthia has not been seen or heard from and remains missing
