Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP41093) and 4 other sources
Sherrye Lee Bethel, a 21-year-old woman from Fort Worth, Texas, was last seen on July 15, 1976. She was in the process of divorcing her second husband at the time of her disappearance. According to her husband, Sherrye simply left him and their one-year-old child and was never heard from again.

Sherrye had been married twice, first in 1972, but that marriage ended in divorce by 1974. She married her second husband shortly after her first divorce, and by 1976, the relationship was also deteriorating. Her second husband filed for divorce in March 1976, and it was finalized in July 1977, a year after she vanished. No significant leads or clues have surfaced since her disappearance, and her case remains unsolved.

Very few details are available about the circumstances surrounding her case, and authorities continue to seek any information that could help resolve her mysterious disappearance. The Fort Worth Police Department remains the investigating agency in this case.

Last Seen: Jul 15, 1976
