Sherry Lee Prather, a 43-year-old mother of two from Jacksonville, Florida, was last seen the night of October 12, 2012 after being dropped off at Boots N Bottles, a local biker bar, by her mother and daughter. Known for her love of Harley Davidson motorcycles and a vibrant personality, she did not return home and was reported missing the next day; the family says initial police response was slow because of her known partying lifestyle and her mother Norma Ellis persistently petitioned authorities for action.

Remains found in a wooded area off Braddock Road on November 14, 2012 were later identified as Prather’s. The body was highly decomposed and initially difficult to identify; autopsy findings showed a gunshot wound to the spine and the death was ruled a homicide in March 2013. Investigators say Johnny Wayne Johnson, who was seen leaving the bar with Prather the night she disappeared, became a suspect and that a later witness reported Johnson had confessed to killing Prather and dumping her body in the woods.

Does anyone have information about Prather’s last night at Boots N Bottles or about Johnson’s movements on October 12, 2012?
