I am positing that she may have left voluntarily as it is statistically probable. Where? Who knows.OK.Where do you think Sherri went, if she left voluntarily?

If you were an abductor with any brains at all, wouldn't you make it a priority to separate the victim from her phone? She could have dropped it during the struggle, had it ripped from her by the abductor, or been forced, perhaps at knifepoint, to drop it. The point is that it'd make sense for the abductor then and there to separate Sherri from her phone.
I don't know how much the stats matter. People leave voluntarily. People are abducted. Both disappearances happen often enough that both are possible explanations for Sherri's disappearance. But when you add up the fact that she was a devoted wife and mother (as far as we know) and nothing (as far as we know) in her phone records, computer searches, and text messages hints that she was preparing to leave, at least to me makes abduction more likely. (But I sure wouldn't bet any money on it.)I do agree that more people leave voluntarily than are abducted.
But how many leave without a trace - leave with no apparent means to support themselves, with no warning, and aren't found in this amount of time with this amount of police work?
I think we've all seen baffling cases where people do disappear, and are found years later leading a life kind of under the radar. But from my observation, that's much more rare than stranger abductions.
And one thing that always surprises me - how very many people go missing and are never, ever found so we can't add them to this statistical pool of those who are abducted vs. those who leave voluntarily. There are a LOT of missing people.![]()
Didn't the letter state something about it being "their negotiatior" that has done this for them before?
Even weirder than it already is if Sherri, whose possibly been abducted, also happens to have a friend or family member that's done several negotiations. Jmo.

JMO, if it was tossed, there more than likely would be some damage to the phone. Perhaps some scratches, or, if it had a cover, perhaps some nicks of dirt or something else. I just think the LE know a lot more than us here. :tantrum:
Got it. The answer is, no. If the "frequent locations" option is not enabled, no data will be saved in the phone. This is in accordance to privacy laws.
Yes, they can easily tell if this is enabled or not.
How do we know it's a complete stranger offering the reverse ransom? My guess is this is a friend or family member of Sherri's that does not want her family nor the public to know who is offering the money. It could be anyone who knows Sherri from a former employer to KP's parents. Perhaps they want to remain anonymous because they don't want their identity to detract from bringing Sherri home. I do agree the reverse ransom is very strange (not common) and I don't know what to make of it in this case.
Hi and welcome to WS, milly210.Hi, newbie here but this case has me gripped from across the pond,
I cant get over the fact the present was half unwrapped, could one of the children done this without the Dad realising? You know come home saw the present and curiosity gets the better of them?
Another thing that bothers me is the massive discrepancies in the timeline, Sherri is seen at 11am then again at around 2, what time were the children due to be collected from daycare.
And lastly does anyone else find the reward/ransom video a bit odd, I have never come across this before

Does the "frequent locations" option need to be enabled for the find my phone option to work? If not, does it log GPS data every time a call or text comes in or goes out?
Understand, thank you.Good question. I just looked at the letter again and it says the negotiator (who we have since learned is Cameron Gamble) has negotiated ransom releases for people all over the world. It does NOT say that the person who wrote the letter and is offering the ransom has hired CG before. I think some people are confused and think CG is the one offering the reward. From what I can gather, CG has a business doing this and is known for it so anyone who was desperate to bring their friend or loved one home could look him up and retain his services as a negotiator. JMO.

Any chance this family could be connected to the church?We don't truly know 100% But, we do know that the Bethel Church is behind it. You should Google this church. Their beliefs are very controversial and are frequently called a cult.
My un-PC opinion is that this church saw an opportunity for some free national publicity and jumped on the opportunity. They know full well that an abductor will not come forward.
So, because of the church's reputation, I am guessing that this is a PR stunt that isn't connected to the family.
I think you're looking at it from a different perspective. If you find a cell phone on the side of the road, it's highly improbable that it was dropped during a stranger abduction.
BUT. When you look at this case and realize the husband has been cleared, she is unlikely to leave, witnesses saw her jogging and now no one knows where she is - and her cell phone is found on the road on her jogging route, it suddenly becomes very probable that it was dropped during an abduction.
As rare as stranger abductions are, they do occur, and this one appears to be just that.
Any other explanation you kind of have to work at too hard to make it work out logically.

Me too. I think it's completely possible she walked or jogged up to that intersection sometime around 11 (when she was seen), turned off her phone (it went off at noon), and got in a car with someone.
This would mean the spotting at 2pm is incorrect. Otherwise she turned the phone off at noon (at home, on her run, on a walk, whatever) and met up with someone closer to 2pm.

The tree trimmers did it. Its just too much of a coincidence that work is being done the same day she disappears. Jmo
