Last seen at approximately 9:30 a.m. in downtown Greenville, Alabama. She and her stepfather were at the First National Bank and he gave her a dollar to buy a soda. Sherry left the bank and was last seen crossing the street towards the Chevron gas station, where there was a soda machine. When her stepfather returned to his pickup truck fifteen minutes later, Sherry was nowhere to be found. All of Sherry's relatives, including her biological father, were investigated by police for possible involvement in her case. Both her father and her stepfather have been ruled out as suspects. She was 12 years old at the time. Last seen wearing a red long-sleeved plaid flannel work shirt, faded jeans, new gray sneakers with velcro fastenings, and a watch with a black band. Sherry has a two-inch scar on her abodmen and a wide one-inch scar on her upper back near her shoulder. She had a mixture of baby and permanent teeth at the time of her disappearance, and fillings in two teeth. Sherry Lynn's photo is shown age-progressed to 50 years on the right.
