36-year-old Sherry Durall had a seemingly perfect life. She was a successful woman with three young children and a husband named Robert, who went by Bob. Sherry had a high-paying job and came from a wealthy family. To everyone, Sherry had the dream life.

One day, when Sherry failed to show up to work on time, her coworkers were concerned. They immediately called Bob and asked about her. Bob told them Sherry had left for work that morning as usual. Still worried, Sherry's friend called the police, who went to her home to investigate.

While all of Sherry's belongings were there, she was not, and neither was her car. Sherry's disappearance soon turned into a murder case riddled with infidelity stories, emotional abuse, and all the signs of an unhappy marriage.

Finding Leads

While a woman was driving on the highway, she saw a red van driving erratically, swerving from lane to lane, appearing out of control. This woman decided to call the police to alert them, and when she told them the car's license plate, it matched Sherry's license plate.
