Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP1253) and 5 other sources
Sherie Ann Graves, a 32-year-old woman, was last seen on May 1, 1988, at a motel in Modesto, California. She and her husband had been living in various trailer parks and motels in the area at the time of her disappearance. Sherie was officially reported missing by her mother four years later, in 1992, which delayed the investigation into her case.

Sherie is described as 5'4" tall, weighing around 105 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She has several distinctive scars, including a vertical scar on her back, a circular scar on her right knee, and a Cesarean section scar. She may have used the last name "Shepard." At the time of her disappearance, Sherie was living a transient lifestyle, moving between motels and trailer parks in the Modesto area.

Foul play is suspected in Sherie's disappearance, though no significant leads have been identified. Authorities have continued investigating, and DNA and other forensic materials have been collected in hopes of resolving the case. Despite ongoing efforts, the circumstances around Sherie's vanishing remain unclear.

Sherie’s case remains open, with the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department handling the investigation. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact law enforcement.
