GUILTY PA - Sherry Leighty, 21, Altoona, 1 October 1999

[SCHMAE]

I did go an get the divorce & custody papers. He did file for divorce in March 1999 & she had physical custody of the kids. Some of the dates in the papers don't make sense and I pointed them out to the detectives but they don't seem very interested in the documents seeing my brother had to mention it to them several times until they said for me just to drop them off but instead I just emailed them.

I'm not doing well, this all is taking a toll on me but thanks for asking.

Awww honey ! Hang in there ! You have to continue doing the things you have to do for your life and find a place for this search in there. But try not to let it overcome and dominate you . Go relax and have fun and enjoy things any chance you can.

Thinking of Sherry and her family. Hopefully they will have some answers soon.

Does anyone know how to get in contact with the Doe Network? I submitted Sherry's info there a few months ago and they haven't put her on their website. I even emailed them last month about her and never got a response. Don't know what else to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi shellbellz - send CarlK a pm and ask him what the protocal is for working with the Doe Network.

I'm unsure myself because I haven't been working with them for awhile.

Shell, the unclaimed are known we do have some with an alias, and we have to track down who they are before we can find family. Not sure if our research in the unclaimed would be helpful but we are here for you.

Thank you mods!

I wish I had something useful to contribute, but I wanted to let you know that you and Sherry are in my thoughts...

This is great news ! It means LOTS more people who are scouring doenetwork can cross reference her with what they know, right? I'm assuming the doenetwork has tons of following ' sleuthers' who can now add their two cents
Hopefully this will go somewhere !

Thanks for sharing; it gives us hope for some sort of closure.

I was so thrilled to see this last night! I just want to thank everyone who has either helped us or has shown us love & support through all of this. I can't express my gratitude enough! Thanks so much!

Thanks so much for everyone's help! My family & I are truly blessed with having complete strangers care so much about Sherry. I can't say enough how grateful we are to everyone who has assisted us thus far with Sherry's case & to everyone who has shown us love & support. It is truly appreciated!

Has there been any progress in Sherry's case?

There hasn't been anything new that I know of. I haven't spoken to the detective for a couple weeks now. I'm tired of hearing the same old thing that there's nothing they can tell me right now. I have been on this emotional rollercoaster for a while & I'm kind of stepping back before I have a nervous breakdown. Thanks for asking & I will definitely let you all know if & when I hear anything.

Good for you Shellz ! No matter what the outcome you must continue to take care of yourself. I cannot imagine going through this. You are so often in my thoughts and prayers ! But if there is a way for you to emotionally put this on the back burner for a little bit of time and come back to it, that would probably be good for you . It doesn't ever mean you don't care, but just that you need to collect yourself for round 712 or whatever round it is ! You've got all our support !

 

[SCHMAE]

Hi Shellz, not sure when you'll be back but I'm really glad you're taking a rest. Here is a new facebook page for YOU to check out. It's specifically for people with lost loved ones where LE won't open a case.

https://www.facebook.com/people.seeking.people

It is a new page so it may take a while for it to get widespread, but what would it hurt to get on there?
