Sherry Robinson Dedrick, age 60, was last seen on November 11, 1986, in San Francisco, California. She has not been heard from since, and few details are available about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance. At the time, Sherry was 5'3" tall, weighed 155 pounds, and had red hair and blue eyes. She had been diagnosed with a behavioral disorder and was considered a dependent adult. It is also known that Sherry might have been using the name Sherry W. Robinson.

Her disappearance remains classified as an endangered missing person case. Despite being missing for decades, there has been no significant progress in the investigation, and her case remains unsolved. Sherry’s information has been listed in multiple missing persons databases, including NamUs and the Doe Network, but there is little to no information about the events leading up to her disappearance or any subsequent developments. Authorities are still seeking any tips or information that could help close this case.

The San Francisco Police Department continues to handle her case and encourages anyone with relevant details to come forward.
