The Mysterious Disappearance

On August 23, 1990, 19-year-old Shane Henry became alarmed when her older sister, Cheryl, failed to show up for her ride to work. After sensing something was wrong, Shane left work to search for Cheryl, only to find that Cheryl's boyfriend, Andy Atkinson, was also missing. The family quickly reported Cheryl's disappearance to the police, who were then alerted by a security guard who found Cheryl's purse in an abandoned car. The ominous scene revealed cigarette butts, potential blood stains, and a sense of impending dread as family and friends awaited answers.
