Found Deceased OH - Cheryl Coker, 46, Riverside, 2 Oct 2018

[tb24oh]

He is officially a POI, the only one mentioned by police in the warrants obtained by the media.

 

[tooltimetim]

Are the police watching him discreetly, are they monitoring his phone.
Short of a body, what are the police waiting for, there has been a lot of cases made without body
Let’s say he harmed Cheryl, how has his behavior been since then, work performance, temper
Has he spoken with her mom or barb, does he pester the detective on status, is he still with the girlfriend
I feel his anixety levels going up since the next divorce court date should be on hold pending the case,
Does he have access to Cheryl’s bank account, 401k, if so is he draining them

 

[tooltimetim]

how Is William doing maintaining the bills at their home, the dates starting 1 oct and before when two incomes ran the home , now she’s gone how’s he augmenting , the Costco salary was definately less than what she was making,
This is why if anyone knows if he is draining her dry or not

 

[momrids6]

Wonder if the girlfriend will bail when the money runs out?

 

[tooltimetim]

I had to go to Kroger today so I drove past Cheryl’s home, it’s a really eerie feeling. And I was trying figure out how he or someone got Cheryl’s SUV to the Kroger parking lot,
After driving the street that someone would would have used that day according to the direction the SUV pulled in, I really think if and when he is taken into custody for the disappearance, and his photograph is released there will be people who live on those streets will remember him either driving or walking back to his house
My fellow sleuths, question, if the police don’t come up with any newer evidence, in 2019, is Cheryl’s case file going to turn very COLD,
Is there anything the police can do to rattle the tree to see if a projected suspect will slip and make a mistake to blow this case to life again

I don't believe she was killed at home. However, if a scenario of her being murdered happened, IN MY OPINION ONLY, I feel in my heart someone had help.

First- she came home, after dropping her daughter off at school. Wasn't it a little while later, her car was parked at the parking lot where it was found later? To me, that makes the scenario of her being murdered by one person hard to do. No evidence found in the home, from what LE has insinuated. So, we can deduce it happened elsewhere, but in order for one person to have done this alone, they would have needed more time, to get the car to where it was eventually parked and somehow, draw Cheryl or kidnap Cheryl to wherever her body is, if she is deceased.

Was she convinced to go for a ride with someone, maybe a hike together to talk things over or something to that effect, and something occurred in the woods? Are there any hiking trails around there, is there a park near there or in another town that hikers enjoy? It was warm in October up here, so I am imagining that it might have been warm there, too, enough to go for a walk.

Any hunting grounds near that area? Hunting cabins? We know that they both had guns. I wonder if there was any hunting knife missing from the home? Of course, that would be harder to find, especially if no one knew about the knife. I know of hunters that have several of them, so if anyone used one, probably no one would know it was missing or recently used. Guns are registered, so LE would know if one was missing. Hunting knives are not, and if someone had several of them, no one would be the wiser if one was missing.

I don't think that she is far away, but it would be difficult to have harmed her in one spot, while driving a car to another spot, in a short period of time.

It was reported earlier in the thread by MSM that she sent a text to a friend or colleague that said something to the effect she'd see them later if she wasn't dead. Someone that says that, even in jest, is likely not to go out in the woods with the person they are afraid of. No intentionally. Could she have been forced at gunpoint by whoever harmed her to drive to a remote location? (thinking back to the young Barista in Oregon who was killed by a neighbor after he forced her into the woods).

 

[tooltimetim]

Pigtailing what Grace said above, let’s say she was forced under duress to go against her will, I think unless Cheryl was unconconcious in the vehicle she would have either grabbed the wheel to cause an accident, or get the attention of another driver, she was probably in passenger front seat which could explain her purse contents scattered in the vehicle. Does anyone know how much time he had if Cheryl was forced into the vehicle from the time they left the driveway until her suv showed up on surveillance tape turning into Kroger parking lot .
If this theory works the exact timing could be used to draw a radius circle , but take in account the time needed to get to Kroger. Then she would be located somewhere in that circle

I don’t foresee this case becoming cold any time soon. As with most cases, I think there is a lot going on behind the scenes. LE is probably waiting for enough to charge someone and make sure it sticks.

Welcome to WebSleuths!

Yeah, I don't see this case as being cold yet. At the same time I wonder if law enforcement has much to work with at all. I say that because according to the news reports the probable cause for the search warrant for the home and vehicles was premised on the crime of Kidnapping and most recently law enforcement has said they don't believe there was a kidnapping. Much will change if and when Cheryl is located.

 

[tooltimetim]

I know I know much will change if Cheryl is found, after reviewing this case consistently, the one time line I need identified .
Does any one know how much time (estimated) from the point Cheryl’s SUV returned to her to her home after dropping daughter off at school, until her vehicle was captured on the surveillance camera by Clanceys , before it was abandoned.
Trying to figure out a radius where she could have been “dumped”, and still allow him time to get vehicle to Kroger.
With morning traffic conditions, Cheryl is dumped close to home , so with time element the circle could more defunded.

 

[tooltimetim]

I hate the spell check, my last word is not defunded but defined.

 

[tb24oh]

Remember, she was already not responding to texts from a coworker asking where she was shortly after 9am when she didn't show up for work. So the timeline is fairly narrow, daughter dropped off at 7:30, 10-15 mins max to be back home, so 7:45 to 9am. I really think she was killed in that time period, then he drove to parking lot at 10:35, then walked back home.

 

[tooltimetim]

So within approx. 2 hours window she is killed and dumped and based on traffic is at parking lot at 10:35am, please help me fine tune, so I am figuring 1.5 hrs to “kill her” and drive somewhere to dispose, and 1/2 hour to get to Kroger, so with everyone’s help how far of a radius depending on road speed, traffic conditions , how far would you estimate a compass circle with the point on Cheryl’s home, I know there is a lot of areas she could be dumped within the radius , but which areas are secluded enough to dispose without detection,
Also how many of these areas have cameras around them , that he could be detected . Or did he preplan an area that no one will ever find her.
I think if we can define this circle we can hopefully find cheryl

No more than about 3 hours. She dropped her daughter off at the high school a little before 7:30am and then returned home. The video shows her vehicle arriving at the parking lot at 10:49am.

Without something else to narrow the time frame down I would think the maximum distance from her home would be 50 miles in any direction (radius) which would be a circle 100 miles across (diameter).

 

[tooltimetim]

Damn she could be anywhere, a needle in haystack.
If he turns out to be the main suspect, he will never say where she is, he claims in previous articles he loves his daughter, you would think for his daughter come clean, so a proper closure can occur.
I think it would be awful for the daughter to live with the unknown, of where her mom is. How can he even look his daughter in her eyes, and proclaim his false narrative

 

[tb24oh]

You're also assuming that he dumped her body before the car. I tend to think he dumped the car, walked home and then took the body. That gives him from 10:49 to get home with 20-30 mins max depending on route or even sooner if someone picked him up. Then he had all afternoon until school pick up at 3:30. That makes the dumping radius even larger.

Was it confirmed if Bill had the day off or called in?

True. That would effectively double the radius of the circle. Do we actually know that he picked up their daughter from school? That she didn't get a ride from friends or another parent?

We need some kind of information that narrows any potential time range whether that would be his vehicle seen on video somewhere at a known time, whether he went to a store and a transaction exists at a known time, etc.

I think that too. I think he dumped her car like a hot potato. Didn't want a neighbor/friend to see her car and do the "stop by". Didn't want her phone going off or pinging there at the home.
