Cheryl was last seen in Vancouver, Washington on November 23, 1997. She left her home driving a 1973 Ford 4x4 pickup truck that belonged to her boyfriend, Dennis Walls, who she lived with. She was scheduled to appear at a child custody hearing in the Tri-Cities area on November 24. She never arrived and has never been heard from again. Her boyfriend reported her as a missing person on November 26. On December 2, the truck she had been driving was found abandoned in Skamania County, Washington on Forest Service Road #30. This area is very remote and the road had been closed due to snowy conditions. Her purse and identification were inside the vehicle, but there was no indication of her whereabouts.

Cheryl is a white female with brown hair and hazel eyes. She is 5'9" and 130 pounds. Her ears are pierced. She may use the last name Wilson.

I wonder how many times a child custody hearing precedes a disappearance.
