I’m just a girl who finds pockets of time in between my career, chasing my three kids, hanging out with my husband, spending time with family and friends, running the household, and sleeping to tell this story by doing research, talking to people, taking little road trips, and saying some prayers.

28. Lingering Questions
Recently, we posted on the Gone in the Fog Facebook page, asking our followers if they have any unanswered lingering questions regarding Cheryll's case that they'd like answers to. Of course, we all have a lot of unanswered questions, but I thought I would address … Continue reading 28. Lingering Questions
27. A New Door Opens
When Cheryll disappeared from Highland Heights in 1971, the town police investigated her disappearance. They were a small department with limited resources, but by all accounts they were doing their best to try to find her throughout the 13 days she was missing. Once her … Continue reading 27.

26. A Victim of Time
Through the years I have read about, listened to podcasts about, or watched television programs about other missing and murdered children. Obviously their stories are horrifying and as a parent, strike a fear in me that I never knew I could experience until I actually … Continue reading 26. A Victim of Time
