Sherry Mansur, a 34-year-old woman, tragically lost her life on February 19, 1995. Her death was the result of strangulation, and her body was discovered along Interstate 40 in Guilford County, North Carolina. Sherry, whose full name was Sherry Tew Mansur, had last been seen visiting her niece in Bowie, Maryland, in January 1995. Her ethnicity is not explicitly mentioned in the sources available.
The investigation into her death revealed that Sean Patrick Goble, a long-haul truck driver,
was responsible for her murder. Goble confessed to picking Sherry up in Fredericksburg, Virginia, before strangling her to death. Goble, who was 28 years old at the time, was arrested on April 13, 1995, and subsequently confessed to multiple murders, including Sherry's. He was later sentenced to life imprisonment for his crimes.
Goble's actions were part of a series of murders he committed across several states, targeting women he encountered along his truck routes. Authorities in multiple states investigated him for numerous unsolved killings, many of which involved similar circumstances. Sherry's case was one of the confirmed murders linked to Goble, and her death highlighted the dangers faced by women traveling alone or in vulnerable situations.
The legal proceedings against Goble included charges for other murders, and he was convicted of first-degree murder in Tennessee and second-degree murder in North Carolina. His arrest and subsequent confessions brought some closure to the families of his victims, including Sherry's, though the pain of their loss remains profound.
