Sherry Lynn Yates, 29, was last seen on March 12, 1981, in Las Vegas after dropping a female friend off and driving away alone. She was described as a white woman with red or auburn hair, brown eyes, and a star tattoo on her right hand. At the time she disappeared she reportedly wore gold chain necklaces, a gold wedding band, and Harley-Davidson wing-shaped earrings.

Investigators later found her vehicle abandoned east of Las Vegas. Beyond that discovery the record provides very few details: there are no confirmed sightings, no public explanation for why the car was left where it was, and no publicly announced resolution. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has kept the case listed among cold-case missing persons, and family DNA references have been collected for future identification comparisons.

Sherry remains classified as a missing person. Does anyone have information about Sherry’s last known movements or about vehicles spotted east of Las Vegas on March 12, 1981?
