''This week on the Tracking a Killer: The Cold Case Files podcast, Fil Martino and Madison Fitzpatrick take a look at the unsolved disappearance of 29-year-old Sheryl Sheppard from Hamilton, Ontario.
Sheryl Sheppard was a former exotic dancer turned baker who was newly engaged to be married to Michael Lavoie. He had proposed to her on live TV.
Days later, she disappeared in January of 1998. Police say it was like she vanished off the face of the earth and the last person to see her was her fiancé. According to investigators he had dropped her off at an adult entertainment club in Niagara Falls and she has not been seen or heard from since.
Audette Belmore, Sheryl’s mother is now 78 years old. She has never given up on trying to find out what happened to her daughter.
“I hope somebody could come forward and tell me and police where she is. At least I could put her at rest,” said Belmore.
Detective Sergeant Jason Cattle with Hamilton Police, who is working on Sheryl’s case, said the hardest part of this investigation is that there is nothing physical evidence-wise.
” It’s not like we have DNA at a scene or clothing found somewhere or partial remains. We literally have nothing to go on. That’s what makes this case so difficult ,” said Detective Sergeant Cattle.
Police are urging anyone with information about Sheryl Sheppard’s disappearance to given them a call. You can also contact Crime Stoppers with any tips anonymously.''

Retired Hamilton police inspector Warren Korol never forgot Sheryl Sheppard, 25 years after she went missing.
“It’s been 25 years since anyone has seen Sheryl and this case still sticks with me,” Korol said in a video released by Hamilton police today (July 13). “All these years later, I still think about Sheryl and what might have happened to her.”
Police are renewing their appeal for any tips to help solve the cold case involving the “suspicious disappearance” of the 29-year-old Hamilton woman. Police believe Sheppard is “the victim of foul play.” They are again offering a $50,000 reward to anyone who supplies police with information that leads to an arrest.
“We know there is someone out there that knows what happened to Sheryl,” Korol said. “With time and distance, my hope is someone is now willing to come forward. Sheryl’s family deserves some answers and to know what happened to her.”

On Jan. 5, 1998, Odette Fisher filed a report to police that Sheppard, her daughter, was missing. Sheppard was last seen by her boyfriend, Michael Lavoie, on Jan. 2, 1998, a few days after he proposed to her and she said yes on live TV during a New Year’s Eve party at the Hamilton Convention Centre.
Sheppard had been living with Lavoie at her mother’s apartment on Queenston Road in Hamilton. Lavoie had lived with her and her mother on and off.
In the video recently released by Hamilton police, an old clip is shown of Lavoie proposing to Sheppard on Dec. 31, 1997 during the New Year’s Eve party. CBC Radio’s Someone Knows Something podcast had reported that Sheppard’smother believed she did not want to marry Lavoie until he got a full-time job and she thought the couple had a “rocky relationship.” Lavoie had denied to police that he had anything to do with her disappearance.

“Mike told Sheryl’s mom that he dropped her off at an adult entertainment club in Niagara Falls and hadn’t seen or heard from her since then,” Cattle explained.
“Detectives followed up on that information and checked every adult entertainment club in Niagara Falls. No one had seen a girl matching Sheryl’s description.”
Cattle says a look over Sheppard’s east Hamilton residence “became concerning” noting her clothing and wallet were still in the apartment “as if she left with nothing.”

I just read through the entire thread and I couldn’t help but notice the 2-3 posts from a “new member” that were completely different than all the others. He seemed to be throwing out crazy ideas about why she must have just disappeared on her own.
Then I remembered the POI is still free. Makes one wonder…
MOO!

Sheryl Sheppard's Tim Hortons ID card is seen in this photo. (Someone Knows Something)
''Sheryl Sheppard, a missing Hamilton woman who vanished almost two decades ago, left behind an audio tape for her sister, with instructions to give it to the police if anything ever happened to her.
That revelation comes from episode 11 of Someone Knows Something, a CBC true crime podcast.''
''On this week's podcast, several witnesses including Sheppard's sister, aunt and a friend reveal for the first time that she might have known that her life was in danger — in one instance even saying, "Don't be surprised if I go missing."
She even took the step of giving an audio tape to her sister, telling her that if anything should ever happen, the tape should be given to police. Police have confirmed to CBC that they do have the tape.''

I’ve almost finished Sheryl’s season of SKS and there are a couple of things I’d like to draw attention to.
Gerald Sheryl’s neighbour at 851 Queenston Rd condos. When he describes how he saw Mike almost strangling Sheryl one day he gets quite graphic. He seems to forget that he told police he didn’t remember what date he saw Mike with the bags.
Talking about the bags, if Mike was getting rid of her clothing would he really have used bags that could be see through, and would he have hung around for a chat with Sheryl’s neighbour? Gerald says Mike told him Sheryl was ill. Mike did tell a few people different excuses as to what Sheryl was doing, but Gerald I think is the only one who says Mike said she was ill.
Gerald says he always parked his limos at Tim Hortons, Sheryl worked at one on Sanford and Cannon. Limos are long cars but the Tim Hortons parking lot isn’t very big if you look it up on Google Streetview. One of Sheryl’s work colleagues said Mike always sat at a window and that he was there most of the time that Sheryl worked there.
Would Mike have been looking out for Gerald and his limos? Was Gerald causing Mike to feel paranoid or something? IF Mike was telling the truth and he did drop her off at the alley, could Gerald be the ‘friend’ Sheryl was going to see?
One more thing, Gerald says the spots on the wall was Coca Cola, and that the police told him this. Yet the police never divulged that info to Odette, and neither did Gerald. Why would they tell him and not tell Odette, and how come he kept that to himself and didn’t tell Odette?
If Gerald was the ‘friend’, could he have met her in the alley, had a few drinks with her, went back to her condo, Sheryl has listened to and erased the phone messages, someone spilled some coke and somehow Gerald and Sheryl start fighting?
Odette says their condo was on the seventh floor. Those condos have balconies. Just an observation. The seventh floor is very high up.
One last thing, Mike lived in Sheryl and Odettes condo for about 6 months according to Odette. Gerald says that after he saw Mike trying to strangle Sheryl Mike left, then Gerald says something about he didn’t know if Mike had a key. The podcaster never asked Gerald if he thought Mike might have a key. So Gerald is trying to say he didn’t know Mike was living there? Also Gerald quips “I could have done it” and gives a little chuckle, meaning that he could have lifted Sheryl by the neck with one hand, just as he said that he saw Mike doing it.
That was a very strange interview. Perhaps the detectives should be asking Gerald which officer told him it was Coke on the walls? And perhaps all the officers who entered the condo should be interviewed to find out if any of them did actually tell Gerald it was coke, also was it coke? If Gerald is correct and it was coke could Gerald have implicated himself?

When did Gerald start parking his limos at Tim Hortons I wonder? Was it before or after he met Sheryl?
