Summary
On a February afternoon in 1985, eight‑year‑old Cherrie Mahan got off her school bus near her rural Pennsylvania home and walked toward her driveway, then vanished before she reached the front door. Her backpack and footprints were there, witnesses reported a suspicious van, but Cherrie was simply gone, leaving behind one of America’s most haunting missing‑child cases and the very first face to appear on the now‑famous “Have You Seen Me?” mailer posters.
