Cheryl Miles, a resident of Pomona, California, was found dead in her home on June 26, 1995. Initial reports described her death as the result of a violent, brutal attack; investigators treated it as a homicide and opened a comprehensive inquiry.

DNA collected at the scene later identified a suspect who had a prior criminal record and was reported to have been near Cheryl’s home around the time of the killing. That suspect was arrested, charged, and ultimately convicted at trial; the prosecution relied in part on forensic evidence and witness testimony, while the defense argued the evidence was circumstantial.

The conviction was reported to have brought some closure to Cheryl’s family and the community. If anyone knew Cheryl, her movements in Pomona around June 1995, or observed people near her home that day, please share what was seen or remembered.
