Special report Monday on Cheryl Anne Scherer
SCOTT CITY, Mo. (KBSI) – To this day her family has never given up hope of finding the fiery redhead who vanished from a Scott City gas station in April of 1979.
It’s a bittersweet mission to honor a beloved sister and classmate.
Monday would have been Cheryl Anne Scherer’s 65th birthday.
They are now on a mission to raise money to put a marker in the spot where Cheryl was last seen more than 45 years ago.
The place is the Rhodes Pump Your Own Gas Station in Scott City. Cheryl was called a model employee.
Police believe sometime before noon Cheryl was kidnapped. Her purse and checkbook were still inside the gas station. Her car was in the lot with keys inside.
Now, her sister Diane reflects on who her sister would be if she were with us today and the belief that someone out there has the information that could bring her home.
“I don’t know. I wish we knew. I wish we had that chance to know,” said Diane Scherer-Morris. “She was an ordinary person just like any of us. Yet, you know, she deserves to be found if we can just get someone to give us that information. It can happen anywhere to anyone because I don’t think Anythony and I can believe we are sitting here 45 years later still wondering where Cheryl’s at. It was a small town, middle of the day and she was taken. So it can happen and it does happen.”
Monday, hear from Cheryl’s Kelly classmates. Their lives forever changed by Cheryl’s friendship and disappearance.
In the meantime, fundraising continues to put up a remembrance marker for Cheryl Anne.
