Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP667) and 6 other sources
Cheryl Bernita Parks, a 33-year-old mother of two, vanished on a cold winter's night in Atlanta, Georgia, leaving behind a life and a family that continue to seek answers. On January 10, 1992, Cheryl informed her sister that she would be staying the night with her boyfriend at his apartment on Fern Avenue. Later that evening, at approximately 11:00 PM, she reportedly left his residence with the intention of attending a party. However, Cheryl never made it to her supposed destination and was never heard from again. At the time of her disappearance, she was an employee at the Morehouse College cafeteria and resided on Hill Street.

The hours and days following her last known sighting were filled with uncertainty. Her boyfriend stated that she left his apartment to go to a party, but it remains unconfirmed if she ever arrived. The specific details of this party, including its location and host, are unknown, adding to the perplexing nature of her case. When she vanished, Cheryl was reportedly wearing a white dress paired with a red and black checkered sweater and was carrying a blue shoulder bag. She is described as a Black female with black hair, brown eyes, pierced ears, and a chipped front tooth.

Decades have passed since Cheryl Bernita Parks was last seen, yet her case remains an active investigation with the Atlanta Police Department. Foul play is suspected in her disappearance, though no concrete evidence has emerged to lead to a resolution. Her two children were left without their mother, and a family has had to endure the pain of not knowing what happened to their loved one. The overview of this case is one of sudden and unexplained absence, a woman who seemingly vanished into the night on her way to a social gathering, leaving behind a void and a mystery that has endured for years.
