Summary based on 5 sources
In the autumn of 2002, a 38-year-old woman named Sherry Regina Hudson vanished from the streets of Detroit, Michigan. She was last seen on November 22, 2002, in the area of Joy and Greenfield Roads. Known to her loved ones as Gina, Sherry was a Black female with black hair and brown eyes, standing at 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighing around 105 pounds. When she disappeared, she had a pierced left nostril adorned with a gold and diamond stud nose ring and may have been wearing a black jacket.

Sherry had several distinct physical characteristics that her family hoped would aid in her identification. She was unable to bend the middle finger on her right hand. Additionally, she had a scar on the inside of her left forearm and scars on her right forearm near the wrist. In addition to her nickname Gina, she sometimes used the name Lisa. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance remain unclear, with very few details available to the public or investigators. Since the day she was last seen, she has not been heard from again.

The Detroit Police Department opened an investigation into Sherry's case, which is classified as an endangered missing person case. Despite the passage of many years, her case remains unsolved and there is limited public information available. The lack of new leads has left her family with unanswered questions and a profound sense of loss. The investigation into what happened to Sherry Regina Hudson is ongoing, as those who remember her continue to hope for a resolution that will bring an end to the uncertainty that has surrounded her disappearance for over two decades.
Sherry Regina Hudson was a 38-year-old Black female last seen on November 22, 2002, in Detroit, Michigan. Public missing-person records place her last known location in the vicinity of Joy Road and Greenfield Road, a Detroit intersection that became the center point of the few known details in her case. She was also known by the nickname Gina and may have used the name Lisa. At the time she disappeared, she was described as 5 feet 4 inches tall and about 105 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. The public record does not describe a long sequence of events before she vanished; instead, it preserves the date, the Detroit location, and the fact that she was not heard from again afterward.

The identifying details available for Sherry are personal and specific, the kind of information that would have mattered to investigators and to anyone who might have remembered seeing her. She had a pierced left nostril and wore a small diamond stud set in gold, or a gold and diamond stud nose ring, depending on the wording of the public source. She may have been wearing a black jacket when she was last seen. Additional identifying characteristics listed by the 411Gina missing-person flyer and case page include a scar on the inside of her left forearm, scars on the inside and outside of her right forearm near her wrist, and an inability to bend the middle finger on her right hand. These details give the public more than just a name; they preserve pieces of Sherry’s physical identity in a case where the circumstances remain painfully sparse.

The known circumstances of Sherry’s disappearance are limited. Public case summaries state that she was last seen near Joy Road and Greenfield Road in Detroit, and that few details are available. The Charley Project lists her classification simply as missing and names the Detroit Police Department as the investigating agency. No open online source reviewed provides a confirmed explanation for why she disappeared, who last saw her, where she may have been going, or whether she had plans later that day. There is no publicly detailed timeline describing what happened after she was last known to be in that area of Detroit.

Sherry’s case was also entered into NamUs as missing person case MP822, with the date of last contact listed as November 22, 2002, and Detroit, Michigan, recorded as the missing location. A later Doe Network closed-cases page states that Sherry Regina Hudson is no longer missing per NamUs, but also says that no further information is available. Because that public notice does not state whether she was found alive or located deceased, the outcome cannot be responsibly described more specifically from the online sources reviewed. What can be said is that at least one public source indicates her NamUs status changed, while the available online record does not provide the circumstances or exact nature of that resolution.

Sherry Regina Hudson’s story, as it appears in public online sources, is one of a woman whose disappearance was recorded with only a small number of facts and a great deal left unknown. She was known as Gina, she was 38 years old, and she was last seen in Detroit near Joy and Greenfield on November 22, 2002. She had distinctive scars, a pierced nostril with a small gold-set diamond stud, and may have been wearing a black jacket. The public record does not provide the fuller story of what happened to her that day, and even the later indication that she is no longer missing per NamUs comes without further explanation. In overview, Sherry Regina Hudson was a 38-year-old Black female last seen in Detroit, Michigan, on November 22, 2002, near Joy Road and Greenfield Road; she was 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighed about 105 pounds, had black hair and brown eyes, used the nickname Gina, had several distinctive scars and a pierced left nostril, and her case remains publicly documented with very limited details and an online note that she is no longer missing per NamUs, though no further public outcome information is provided.
