Summary

This episode explores the bizarre and unsettling case of Sherri Guess, a mother of two from Ventura, California, who led a double life. Sherri and her husband worked at a local grocery store, raising their children in what seemed like a typical suburban life. But behind closed doors, Sherri was impersonating a police officer—and no one knew why.

On May 6, 1996, she told her family she was heading to Target… and was never seen again.

What led Sherri down such a strange path? And who was she really? Join us as we dive into the twisted case of false identity, manipulation, and a disappearance that left her community searching for answers.
