Sherri told her mother she was going to buy some supplies for school, scheduled to start the following Monday. She had also planned to buy some doughnuts for her older sister, and to make a payment on her mother’s charge account at Raylass Department Store. The department-store clerk told police that she saw Sherri about 4:30p. She was not seen again. Detectives spent six weeks canvassing downtown and searching for Sherri.
