Sherry Elizabeth Noah, often spelled Sherri in case documents, was 37 and living in Glendale, Arizona. On March 29, 2003, her body was found outdoors in Phoenix, across the street from a church and within a couple of blocks of an RV where serial offender Cory Deonn Morris had been staying. Reports describe her as having been strangled with a ligature; investigators say Morris later told them he used a nylon strap on her. Her body was discovered nude in or near an alley off 9th Street and showed signs of decomposition indicating she had been dead for some time before being found.

Noah became one of five women whose deaths were linked to Morris during a concentrated series of killings between September 2002 and April 2003. Morris initially offered varying accounts, including that Noah overdosed or that choking during sex was accidental; investigators rejected those versions as inconsistent with the forensic evidence. A grand jury indicted Morris on five counts of first-degree murder, including Noah’s killing, and he was later convicted and sentenced to death. No other suspects have been publicly named in connection with her death.
