Identified! TX - Huntsville, 'Walker County Jane Doe', WhtFem 14-16, 91UFTX, Nov'80 #5 - Sherri Ann Jarvis

Right, I've heard this as well now. This was an old comment, when people were discussing ways Sherri may have connected with people in other locations--i.e. how such a young girl might come to know someone in a prison, how she might end up traveling such a distance, that type of thing. One possibility among many. We can be reasonably certain she was not driving herself around after separating from the original group of young friends.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you should have known what was unclear at the time, just that anyone reading the old thread, as I was, might want to have this info before reading too far in the thread.

 

[Beekarina]

No, it's ok. We still have no idea how Sherri moved around. She travelled quite far for someone so young.

Hoping there will be justice for her one day.

Good question.

The last updates I remember seeing were a bit vague, especially pertaining to the time period when the letter was sent to her mom, and a photo from the same time. If I recall correctly, she was said to be dressed as if she was going out/looked older? My impression was everything was being held close to the vest, possibly due to leads? Maybe others have more info.

I remember hearing the thing about the being dressed up in the Colorado pic too. Now thinking about it, I do understand why theyd keep it to the vest because of the possibility of dorks wasting the investigators' time with meaningless tips after hearing one bit of information that catches their attention.

Really hoping in 2023 they can get enough DNA off those Sandals to ID the killer.

Your case isnt over yet. RIP Sherri!

I eagerly await some kind of update from those with authority of doing so.

There are some similarities to the murder of Amber Hagerman (who AMBER alters are named after) 16 years later. Has this ever been discussed?

I personally disagree. Amber's kidnapper seems to have just cut to the chase and kidnapped her, while Sherri's is often speculated to have been charismatic and able to convince her to enter a secluded area, possibly a big rig truck.

Newcomer here.

Has anyone here thought about the backstory of the Denver letter/photo? With what little information was provided about the photo, I think its possible something bad was going on behind the scenes. Specifically, human trafficking.

I hope that doesn't turn out to be the case.

I've been thinking about it a lot too. I even had a dream that Sherri was trafficked.

There's another photo of Sherri in which she looks ready to go out to a party. I thought LE would've released it by now-maybe there's a person of interest in that photo.

If it's true I hope they identify and/or catch everyone responsible.

I really hope they know what they're doing.

I remember hearing about that photo! I’m surprised LE hasn’t released it yet.
I remember reading that in her letter to her mother, Sherri said that her parents wouldn’t hear from her / see her until she was at least “18 or 21”. Someone ( I unfortunately can’t remember who, I think it was on Facebook??) said that it’s very common for trafficking victims to be manipulated into saying that kind of thing to their parents / relatives, to dissuade their family from looking for them. I thought that was really interesting. It really makes you think. Obviously this is just me thinking out loud.

She had such a sweet face, bless her heart

Just read the umpteenth article with the same gist as to all that transpired. Some however mention that all witnesses police interviewed are now deceased.

Is nobody going to talk about how alarmingly suspicious that is? I mean they can't have been that old.

 

[tamsidea]

It was almost 43 years ago, so I think it's very possible that the witnesses would have been 65+ by now.

I mean come on, each and every last one of them is gone, and it was several total? That doesn't add up

I think most of the witnesses were at least in their 40's. The waitress sounded older. The gas station owner would have been older.

Even if they were alive, it wouldn't solve the crime.
