Nearly a month ago, Cynthia was taken from her carriage in a department store and thrown, apparently shortly afterward, into lake a mile away in this New Haven suburban area. Three boys found the body five days later, into a plastic bag. and weighted down with a rock. Suffocation An autopsy showed she died of suffocation, but police couldn't tell whether from drowning or from being stuffed in the air-light bag. She also had a bruise on the Jeft side of her head.

But a pathologist said the bruise, suffered before she died, did not cause death. Police say they have rehashed the case frcm start to finish repeatedly. Cynthia's mother Eleanor Ruotolo. 33, and a neighbor went to the store Sept. 1 and parked not far from the foyer.

Mrs. Ruotolo put Cynthia In a folding carriage and attached a heavy netting over the top. She wheeled the carriage into the foyer. Then she and the neighbor, Mrs. Paul Rebucci, went off to shop.
