It could still be around -- those custom vans are quite collectible now.
Yes, I agree. Of course, if someone actually kidnapped someone in it, they probably changed it. I didn't know the vinyl decal stuff was around back then, I thought all that artwork was airbrushed stuff.
Chaddy, that is very interesting info, was this new detective on the case when you sent in your tip? Perhaps you should re-send if not. I just can't believe there were that many vans in one area that were that color with that exact scene, unless they were ordered from the factory that way. Who knows, this whole van business might be a big fat red herring, but it doesn't sound like the police think so.
I know ZERO about skiing, but I do know that I wouldn't put that logo on my van unless I was a skier, or former skier. I was wondering if there was any significance at all to the color of the skier's clothing, team wise?, like say from the 1984 winter olympics, or 80 or 76 for that matter?
Looking around at posters, (and please forgive me if someone has already done this work, as I am new at looking at this case), figuring that the "ski-art" had to come from somewhere. Here's the closest one I've come across so far that most matches the description in Cherrie's CP file:

It's a poster for "Ski Michigan". The artwork for this van, and it's really, really well detailed out, so I doubt it is made up, came from somewhere(?). Maybe if we can find out what it's based on, we can get closer to where the van originated from???
I think your second post is in the wrong thread, BillyLee.
LOL, no, I was looking around for Cabbage Patch Earmuffs, which Cherrie was wearing when she disappeared and up popped this woman's blog. With a picture of her, that she says was taken when she was nine (with her CP earmuffs) AND she says she has NO pictures of herself before that time. (Cherrie was abducted when she was 8.)
Just kinda' gave me the creeps, especially since her husband won't let her post her face online.
Okay, that is weird. Though since she has a sister, and seems to have pretty clear memories of age 8, I think it is just a strange coincidence.
But there's some resemblance, too, isn't there?
No new news on my end either.
Just hoping whoever had her, that she is alive and well.
All I have heard is that the person, persons were very close
to her family.
Someone has/had to know something all tis time.
Hopefully all leads come to a closer for family.
I am praying for a good outcome,
I read on CP blog there was a possible lead in this case, a few weeks ago. what happened to it? This case, behind Jacob Wetterling, scares me to death. The distinct van and that fact she disappeared so close to her home, scare the hell out of me.
