Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!
Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP4607) and 8 other sources
Cheryl Schille Wyant, a 14-year-old girl, was last seen on May 30, 1978, in San Bernardino County, California. Cheryl, who was also known by the nickname "Cherie," had previously run away from a group home in Corbett, Oregon, shortly after her fourteenth birthday. Following this, she was sighted in San Bernardino County, where she was placed in a children's home or crisis center.

Shortly after arriving in California, Cheryl left the facility and was reportedly involved in a car accident. After being taken to a hospital for treatment, she walked out of the hospital and has not been seen since. Despite searches and investigations, there have been no significant updates in her case, and she remains listed as missing.

Cheryl’s case resurfaced in 1995 when she was officially reported missing in Rohnert Park, California. Few details are available about what might have happened after she disappeared, and her case remains unsolved.
Last Seen: May 30, 1978
