In a haunting mystery that has gripped the nation for over two decades, the disappearance of Dr. Cherryl Pearson remains unsolved. The 37-year-old pediatrician vanished without a trace from Bartlett, Tennessee, on January 5, 2002, leaving behind a life filled with promise and an avalanche of unanswered questions.

Cheryl was last seen after attending a Memphis Grizzlies game, returning home around 10:30 PM. Friends reported enjoying her company until 1 AM, when they left her home, unaware it would be their final encounter. Alarm bells rang the next morning when her sister arrived to drop off her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren for 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦sitting, only to find Cheryl missing and her car, a blue Audi, nowhere in sight.

What adds to the urgency of this case is the chilling evidence surrounding her disappearance. A mysterious call from a payphone was made to Cheryl’s home at 1:58 AM, just minutes after her friends departed. Was she lured away? Investigators uncovered her car days later, parked suspiciously near an apartment complex, with no signs of struggle but eerily clean of any forensic evidence.

Despite a thorough investigation, including a focus on her sister’s husband due to his criminal past, no concrete leads emerged. Cheryl was declared legally dead in 2009, but the pain of uncertainty continues to haunt her family and friends.

As of now, law enforcement believes someone in the community holds the key to solving this heartbreaking case. With Cheryl Pearson now 57 years old, her loved ones remain desperate for answers. If you have any information regarding her disappearance, please contact the Bartlett Police Department. The clock is ticking, and justice for Cheryl Pearson is long overdue.
