On the evening of July 4, 1982, 18-year-old Sherry Eyerly was working a shift as a Domino’s pizza delivery driver in Salem, Oregon, after recently graduating high school. Around 9:30 p.m. she drove to a remote Riverhaven Drive S address that turned out to be fictitious. Her Ford Pinto was later found abandoned with the engine running, the driver’s door open and three pizza boxes scattered nearby. There were no immediate signs of a struggle, but Sherry was missing.

Investigators briefly focused on a local man, Darrell J. Wilson, after a lime-green pickup like his was reported in the area; Wilson later died by suicide weeks after police questioned him. No physical evidence ultimately tied him to the case and investigators moved away from him as a suspect. After 25 years, a breakthrough came: in 2007 William Scott Smith, already serving life sentences for other murders, confessed that he and an accomplice, Roger Noseff, abducted and that he strangled Sherry to death. Smith said he disposed of her body in the Pudding River; despite searches and floods over the years her remains have not been recovered.

Does anyone have memories of Domino’s deliveries or the Riverhaven Drive area from 1982 that could add detail to the timeline?
