Summary

When thirty-four year old Sherri Holland never arrived at her north Atlanta home after a drive up from Florida, her family knew something was wrong. More than a week later, her car was found abandoned along the side of I-75, less than thirty miles from her home. The car was in good shape, but a nail had flattened the front tire.

Days later, Sherri's beloved dogs were found less than three miles from the car but there was no sign of the missing woman. As investigators dug deeper into the case they found many people unwilling to cooperate and even noted the family were somewhat limited in what information they would provide. It wouldn't take long to uncover Sherri's involvement in an illegal business which opened the doors to a world of potential suspects and motives.

0:00.0	In mid-August of 1996,
0:12.0	34-year-old Sherry Holland walked out from her Flagler Beach, Florida vacation house,
0:18.0	loaded her luggage into the car, along with her two dogs, and began the six-hour
0:22.6	drive north to her Atlanta area home. She waved goodbye to a neighbor and turned north onto Route
0:29.3	A1A, the way she always took. She would never make it home, however, and nearly 30 years later,
0:35.8	the mystery of her disappearance continues to linger
0:38.5	without any answers.
0:41.3	Days after her disappearance, her car was found abandoned along the Interstate 75 in Clayton
0:47.7	County, Georgia, approximately 30 miles from her home.
0:51.9	There was a nail in the front passenger side tire, but otherwise the car was
0:56.3	an excellent condition. Police would find a large sum of cash and a loaded gun inside the vehicle,
1:02.9	but no sign of Sherry, her dogs, or oddly, her luggage. Her dogs would later be found hanging
1:09.5	around an apartment complex just a few miles west of the car.
1:14.4	While law enforcement worked to find the missing woman, they would find themselves kicking the hornet's nest of Atlanta's seedy underbelly
1:21.6	when it was determined that Sherry was involved in an illegal business and almost all of her unknown clients had reason to be
1:29.5	involved. Jim Bundy, a man who worked alongside Sherry, would later claim she had made a lot of
1:35.9	enemies over the years, many of them powerful names in the local community. What happened to
1:42.3	Sherry Holland? Was she abducted at random after pulling over with a
1:46.6	flat tire? Did a friend or coworker come to assist only to eliminate her for reasons unknown? Could a
1:54.4	spurned boyfriend or jealous wife have played a role? Or was one of her clients unwilling to take
2:00.7	the risk that she might talk and instead
2:03.3	decided to silence her for good. This is Trace Evidence, Episode 248, The Vanishing of Sherry Holland.
