Details of Disappearance
Cheryl was last seen in Tigard, Oregon on July 6, 1991. She and her husband, Tom, were staying at the Shilo Inn when, he said, she left him voluntarily. She has never been heard from again.
Cheryl was born in Lake Stevens, Washington and had previously lived with Tom in Tenino, Washington. They have five children. She was a housewife at the time of her disappearance, didn't own a car, and had no means of financial support. Her friends described her as a devoted mother.
After Cheryl's disappearance, Tom told their children she had abandoned them. Authorities believe Cheryl met with foul play, however, and her husband is considered a person of interest in her case. A photo of him is posted with this case summary.
The missing person investigation was reactivated in 2012, but no one has been charged in Cheryl's disappearance; it remains unsolved.
