On the morning of October 2, 2018, Cheryl Coker, a devoted mother of two from Riverside, Ohio, dropped her daughter off at school. Later that day, her car was left in a Kroger parking lot. Surveillance footage captured a mysterious figure, dressed entirely in black, exiting the vehicle and walking away.



Despite an exhaustive investigation and numerous leads, it took over a year and a half before Cheryl's skeletal remains were discovered in a wooded area, just 15 minutes from her home. Although a cause and manner of death could not be determined, authorities believe she was murdered.



It’s been almost six years since Cheryl went missing, and investigators are still searching for answers…
