Investigators hone in on suspect in South Dakota missing persons case
[...]

... South Dakota Department of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Agent Tyler Neuharth openly said this case has one suspect: Brad Cyriacks.

“Brad is the prime subject right now,” Neuharth said. “He knows that, I’ve told him as such.”

Neuharth wouldn’t disclose the entirety of evidence implicating Brad Cyriacks, yet said he and his team are continuing to gather evidence, with the ultimate goal of discovering her remains and filling in the final holes to a mystery that has captivated — and frustrated — many in the southeastern corner of South Dakota.

Records indicated she traveled from Woonsocket to Huron on Nov. 13, 2013, confirmed by an incoming call from a gas station in Huron, near the location of the county jail. After receiving a voicemail while traveling through a known dead zone, she then made one outgoing call to a gas station in Huron, which is where law enforcement believes she picked up Bradley Cyriacks.

The story painted by cell phone records matches the one Brad Cyriacks told investigators. From the gas station, he claimed they made the 20-minute drive home, where they stayed for a brief period of time before she drove him back to a friend’s house in Huron. He claims that was the last time he saw her.

To this date, the searches have not uncovered any item related to Rachel Cyriacks.

Her truck, however, was discovered by law enforcement in January 2014.

The vehicle was located on a Huron bee farm owned by the family of Tyler Griffith. According to initial law enforcement interviews, Brad Cyriacks claimed his wife dropped him off at Griffith’s house on Nov. 13, 2013 — and that was the last he saw of her.

Griffith was a known friend to both Brad and Rachel Cyriacks.

''Considering the large land mass in and around Huron, Neuharth said DCI has prioritized their resources to follow where the tips lead.

“It’s all based on the tips and leads that we’re getting from doing interviews with involved parties: friends, associates, people who might have information for where she’d be,” Neuharth said.

An initial tip led the investigation to the Sand Creek Area, located near Wolsey. With information that Rachel Cyriack’s body could have been buried there, investigators brought in ground penetrating radar. The technology allowed the team to detect any disturbances up to 30 feet underground, without having to dig up the entire area.''

Searches also included cadaver dogs, highway patrol airplane surveillance, dive teams and the use of side scan sonar technology when searching rivers and bodies of water. Private search and rescue teams have also come in to assist with the case.

Additional leads have led investigators to search 20 different wells in the area, junkyards, abandoned buildings and a thorough search of the James River, which flows through Huron.

To this date, the searches have not uncovered any item related to Rachel Cyriacks.

  • Missing Since: 11/12/2013
  • Missing From: Huron, South Dakota
Details of Disappearance
Rachel was last seen in Huron, South Dakota on November 12, 2013. Her husband, Brad, said she picked him up at a gas station and they made the twenty-minute drive home, but stayed for only a brief period before she took him to a friend's house. She has never been heard from again.

In December, Rachel's gray and black 1995 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck with the South Dakota license plate number 4CH634 truck was located on a bee farm Huron, South Dakota. It had severe damage to the underside, the drivetrain had been pulled out, and it was inoperable. The bee farm was owned by the family of Tyler Griffith. Griffith was the friend whom Rachel took Brad to see on the day of her disappearance.

A green, pink and white quilt which Rachel cherished apparently disappeared from her home at the same time she did; authorities couldn't find it after she vanished. Two photos of the quilt are posted with this case summary; investigators have issued an appeal asking for people to be on the lookout for it.

Although both Rachel and Brad had a history of drug abuse, and their three children were in the custody of family members, her family stated Rachel was trying to clean up her life and get her children back into her care.

Rachel frequented the Huron, Sioux Falls and Mitchell areas of South Dakota prior to her disappearance. She was in the process of a divorce at the time of her disappearance and had filed for a protective order against Brad, whom she claimed had abused her. Brad is the prime suspect in her disappearance.

Authorities believe Rachel is deceased, but little information is available in her case.
 
I'm unbelievably sick and tired of these disgusting, controlling men that kill their wives instead of going their separate ways. I feel like it's almost always a case of "If I can't have you, nobody can." I hate them. I hope Brad feels the heat because the kitchen is getting nice and toasty. I pray for Rachel's kiddos and her family who deeply misses her.

Monday will mark one decade since a Woonsocket woman disappeared. For the first time, we hear from Rachel Cyriacks’ mother.

Rachel’s mother says that in the week leading up to her disappearance, Rachel told family members her ex-husband Brad was abusing her.

Court papers say the couple had a rocky past. Rachel had filed a protection order against him in August.

“The day he got out of jail, she went up and picked him up, and then that’s the end. What’s really weird is he’s never made any effort to do anything,” said Schabot.
 
“In the past several weeks, the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) and other law enforcement agencies have received new tips and information from the public about Rachel, who was last known to be traveling Nov. 13, 2013 to Huron from Woonsocket. DCI agents are interviewing additional witnesses for the first time who may have information about Rachel’s disappearance as well as doing follow-up interviews with potential witnesses who had been interviewed in the past.

Items recovered during a search last week near Huron are being analyzed. Further searches are now being conducted at locations elsewhere in South Dakota. More information will be released on the search when it becomes available.

We want to thank the public for its continued help. People with information about Rachel are asked to call the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation at 605-773-3331 or local law enforcement. Information will remain confidential.

It is time to bring Rachel home.’’
 

Attorney General Marty Jackley says a reward of up to $25,000 is being offered to anyone who provides crucial information that leads to the successful arrest and conviction of those involved in the disappearance of Rachel Cyriacks.
