It was a quiet spots. Rounded, by woodland and sherry It have easily relieved herself without anyone noticing were case scenario.

Collectively known as the smith sisters. They aimed to carve a career

For themselves, in the christian music industry. As soon as sherry disappeared, an officer was summoned to collect adorn from the nearby city of charlotte and drive her back to lexington. dawn admitted to police that her father with strict and that this could sometimes be a source of banks. Fishery Sherry had occasionally expressed a desire to go stay with dawn, but never under any circumstances, did dorm think her little sister would take off on her own. There was a close knit family and, although Sherry craved a bit more freedom, she knew her. It's always had her best interests at heart,. even on the unlikely chance that shari could have run away, she wouldn't leave her lifesaving medication behind place didn't believe the smiths had anything to hard and thy way.

Did no time in launching a full scale. Missing persons investigation within hours, dreams of locals braved, the sweltering hate to traverse the rugged terrain surrounding the smiths. Ten acre property police looked for, tie, attracts shoeprints or anything else. Could provide a clue as to sherry's whereabouts They found nothing had sherry become disoriented due to her medical condition. They didn't think so. would have wandered far a member Of this search party was checking platt springs road about half a mile from the smiths home when they found a red ban. It was believed, belong to sherry, police, wondered whether she could have intentionally left behind as some sort of clue as the hours passed, with no sign of the teenagers

police became steadfastly convinced that sherry's disappearance wasn't the result of her die babies Someone had taken her against her will. The last person to say sherry was her boyfriend, richard lawson, the two spent the morning in downtown lexington. Organizing travellers checks fisheries upcoming crews, once they were done. Sherry left, her shoe vat in the shopping center car park and driving reaches car to their friends pool party. The couple spend a few hours there before sherry caught her parents at around two thirty p m to say she was about to head home. Sherry and her younger brother fifteen years. Robert were expected to check in with their parents every now and then to keep them in the loop of their plans. Police cars, the suspicious I on richard lawson, but sherry's family did

think there was any chance. He would cause her any harm, sherry adored, richard He was an upstanding young man and the two were head over heels in love. They'd both been accepted to columbia college and were excited to be starting the next chapter of their lives together, regardless police question to reach it.

This puts sherry arriving home alone, had around three thirty p m some ass is by had seen her standing at her mailbox about appearing side, They hadn't noticed anything odd or suspicious, but they did saying and unusual vehicle in the neighborhood around this time. The car, was described as a light model loads may be a law pontiac cranberry color one whit. record glancing in their rearview mirror and seeing the vehicle stop in the smiths driveway they caught a glimpse of the driver describing him as a male aged in his thirties when they drove past again about ten minutes later she These car was still there, but Sherry herself wasn't Given that the smiths smile was scattered on the ground police theorize that sherry's of doktor had accosted her at the mailbox. Shortly after bob smith,

Away from the window of his home office, the fact that bob hadn't witness to the incident was she a bad luck by all accounts. Sherry Smith was a popular while locked and a vibrant young woman. She was act fully involved in her school community and had been recently voted. Wittiest girl by her senior class. As a devoted member of Lexington first baptist church, she took her faith very seriously, and was an involved in drugs or any nefarious behavior, but to police didn't seem like an opportunistic attack.

Sherry Smith but there was no evidence to implicate any of them in the kidnapping. With no obvious suspects, emerging police. Consider whether sherry's abduction could have been financially motivated. The smiths weren't particularly wealthy. But the income they earned through bob's electronic sales and hailed as part time work as a substitute teacher afforded them a comfortable lifestyle within impressively large house. Although Family seemed like an unlikely choice to target police had to consider

what, if Sherry had been kidnapped for ransom, later that not as the search for a shower? continued. The smiths home phone rang on. The other line was an unknown mail.
