On August 14, 1989, 26-year-old Cheryl Marie Kelly was found murdered inside her home in White City, Oregon. The discovery launched a homicide investigation that produced leads early on, including information that a possible suspect may have fled to Mexico after the crime. That lead did not produce a resolution, and the investigation eventually went cold.

Cheryl’s killing is now listed among unsolved homicides in Jackson County. The Sheriff’s Office Cold Case Team still keeps the file open in hopes that new information or forensic advances might one day identify the person responsible and clarify the circumstances of her death.

If anyone knew Cheryl, saw unusual activity in White City around August 14, 1989, or has information about a person who left the area for Mexico after that time, please come forward.
