Sheri was last seen on February 27, 1989, at her home at 3473 Decoto Road where she lived with her boyfriend and their daughter.
Sheri was reported missing by her mother when she hadn't heard from her in two weeks.
The boyfriend told police he last saw Sheri sleeping at about 8:00 a.m. when he left the house for his job at his landscaping business. When he got home later that day, she was gone.
It was raining on the day Sheri disappeared, but she had left behind her coat. She was facing a $2,500 warrant for an arrest on charges of being under the influence of drugs. However, she was in touch with family members almost daily, and police do not believe she tried to skip out on the warrant.
In 2017, investigators reclassified Sheri from a missing person to homicide victim.
According to reports, Sheri was last seen at 9:30 a.m. by her boyfriend and his sister. Sheri was packing up her personal belongings inside the home. The boyfriend didn't trust Sheri to take care of their child or the house while he was away on a work furlough program.
Based on witness statements and physical evidence found in the home at the time, police believe Sheri was a victim of foul play, although her body has never been found. Her boyfriend has been named a suspect.
