The Claim
The unidentified woman made her assertion both in a Facebook group post and in a voicemail left with state police. However, the post was swiftly removed by group administrators, and investigators have been unable to establish contact with her using the phone number or address she provided.
The Investigation
With no direct communication, law enforcement took an alternative approach. They obtained fingerprints from the name left by the caller and compared them to Cherrie Mahan’s records. The result? No match.
The Verdict
“An initial review of these fingerprints indicates that she is not Cherri Mahan,” stated the police update. While the woman’s claim remains unverified, authorities are open to further investigation if she chooses to cooperate.
Cherrie Mahan’s disappearance has haunted her family and the community for nearly four decades. If this woman’s assertion proves true, it could finally shed light on a long-standing mystery.
