On July 24, 1993, in Brunswick, Georgia, Cheryl Lewrisey Coleman left her brother’s home with her two-month-old son Jamar’ee. They were last seen at a gas station at Newcastle and O Streets, where a man identified as Carl Harris gave them a ride. Six hours later, Cheryl’s nude, mutilated body was found in Academy Creek several blocks from her brother’s residence; authorities ruled her death a homicide. Investigators recovered the baby carrier and a blanket at the scene, but Jamar’ee was missing.

Police arrested Carl Harris. He told investigators he strangled Cheryl, mutilated her body, and said he left the infant at the edge of Academy Creek after placing Cheryl in the water. Until sentencing he denied responsibility for Jamar’ee’s disappearance. Jamar’ee’s body has never been recovered. Harris later pleaded guilty to the murders of Cheryl and Jamar’ee and received two consecutive life terms without parole. Anyone with memories of Cheryl, Jamar’ee, or information about that day is asked to come forward.
