Dr. Cherryl Lamont Pearson, a 37-year-old pediatrician, disappeared after a night out on January 4–5, 2002. She returned from a Memphis Grizzlies game to her home on Daybreak Drive in Bartlett and had friends with her until about 1:00 a.m. She was expected to babysit her sister’s children that morning but neither she nor her dark blue 2001 Audi were there when the sister arrived. Cherryl was Type 1 diabetic and left behind her insulin pump and other medical supplies.

Her cell phone and pager remained at home, yet phone records show a five-second call to her house at 1:58 a.m. from a payphone at a nearby gas station. The Audi was found on January 7 in an apartment complex parking lot a short distance from her home; it had been wiped clean of fingerprints and contained her medical bag, keys, and an envelope with $140. Investigators have suspected foul play; a brother-in-law who stood to benefit from a life insurance policy was investigated but had an alibi and was not linked by evidence. Cherryl was declared legally dead in 2009.

Does anyone in Bartlett or the surrounding area remember that payphone call, the Audi being moved, or any unusual activity that night?
