Summary

A BIG THANK YOU TO JESS M. WHO SUGGESTED THIS EPISODE!


On October 2, 2018, Cheryl Coker dropped off her teenage daughter, Mikayla to school and supposedly went home, or at least that's what her cell phone data said. She didn't arrive to work later that morning and when Mikayla got home from school, there was no sign of Cheryl. When Cheryl's vehicle was discovered at a local Kroger grocery store later that day with Cheryl's purse and phone inside, her family knew something was wrong. CCTV footage shows a man dropping off Cheryl's car but it never caught his face. Cheryl's remains were found on April 25, 2000, and her killer is still at large. If you have information regarding her case, please contact the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations (CBI) at 800-282-3782 or you can submit a tip online on their website.
