Sheri Lee Martin was 17 and working at a Winchell’s Donut Shop in Salt Lake City, Utah, on the evening of August 17, 1971, when two men, identified as Sherman McCrary and his son-in-law Carl Taylor, entered the shop. After robbing the store of a small amount of cash, the men abducted Sheri, leaving behind her parked car.

Sheri was transported from Utah to Nevada by members of the McCrary-Taylor group and was repeatedly sexually assaulted during that time. Her body was later found near Wendover, Nevada; she had been shot to death and left in the desert. Fingerprints belonging to Carl Taylor were later found on a coffee cup at the donut shop, linking him to the scene. McCrary and Taylor were arrested after their crime spree ended in June 1972 and were convicted and given life sentences for the murder of a different young woman in Colorado; they were considered prime suspects in Sheri Martin’s killing, though a formal confession for Sheri’s murder was not obtained.

Does anyone have additional information about Sheri’s last hours or about witnesses from the Salt Lake City location who might not have been interviewed?
