Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP13680) and 4 other sources
In the fall of 1975, a 27-year-old woman named Cherril Sue Miller vanished from Portland, Oregon, leaving behind a life that included two children. On the evening of October 12th, Cherril entrusted her children to the care of a neighbor and went to Andy's Pub, located at the corner of 72nd and Southeast Woodstock Boulevard. She was last seen at approximately 11:00 p.m. leaving the establishment by herself. At the time of her disappearance, she resided in the 7300 block of Southeast Evergreen Street. Since that night, there has been no contact from her, and what began as a night out ended in a mystery that has endured for decades.

Cherril was described as a white female with dark brown hair and blue eyes. She stood between 5'0' and 5'1' tall and weighed between 80 and 90 pounds. A notable characteristic was a discolored or capped tooth in the front of her mouth. On the night she went missing, she was wearing a black jacket and blue jeans. She also wore eyeglasses with thin bone rims and was possibly wearing small diamond earrings and a diamond ring. She was carrying a white leather shoulder-strap purse. The limited information available about her disappearance has left her family and investigators with few clues to follow.

The circumstances surrounding Cherril Miller's disappearance remain unclear. She was last observed leaving the pub alone, and no witnesses have come forward with information about what happened to her after she departed. The lack of evidence has made it difficult to determine if she met with foul play or left on her own accord. Over the years, her case has grown cold, with few details emerging to shed light on her whereabouts. The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office has been the investigating agency for her case, but without new leads, the investigation has been challenging. The case of Cherril Sue Miller is a poignant reminder of the many individuals who disappear without a trace, leaving their loved ones to grapple with unanswered questions and the enduring pain of not knowing what happened.
