I live in Cheyann's area and I'm hoping to keep her case afloat despite no leads. Her friend Chad still posts on her timeline every year, but its absolute radio silence out of Brian. Mallard Lake has been searched twice to no avail, and it seems everyone has forgotten about her.
I've searched one other forest preserve, and I'm going to keep searching others. I pulled up a 2mi radius of abandoned houses around her last known location during that time period, and I'd certainly have my work cut out for me.

I'd like to keep conducting ground searches, preferably with other volunteers, but its difficult when you don't have a place to start. At this point, I'm just waiting to stumble upon remains.
Imo it seems likely that she overdosed and was hidden or was murdered, but I'm guessing its the former. Apparently both of them dabbled in heroin and other drugs and had been to rehab. I'm also a little concerned about The Dirty article written about one of her abusive exes and what he did to her. The comments are an absolute shitshow from both her, her predatory exe's mom, and some other people.
