I landed here while researching Amy Sher's case. She was last seen at her job in Burlington and lived in Billerica, the next town over. It is clear she never was in Cambridge as the official reports suggest. We also know police took the husband's word for it, that she just left her son and took off. Why is it that once you become a paid member to this site, you don't get the information you paid to see on this database? With cases this old, it's really difficult to be able to separate facts from the the nonsense that gets repeatedly shared over the years .

Edit: you have to search for the blog info.

Amy Sher, 38, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, vanished on October 18, 2002, after last being seen leaving her job in the finance department at Lahey Clinic. In the days before she disappeared she had called in sick and did not return to work. Her husband, Robert Desmond, later contacted her employer saying she would not be coming back and sent a resignation email in her name; coworkers said the signature did not match Amy’s handwriting.

Colleagues had noticed signs of physical abuse before she vanished, including limping and missing clumps of hair. Amy’s family, estranged for years because of her abusive relationship with Desmond, only learned she was missing about 18 months later after hiring a private investigator. Desmond has said she left voluntarily, but authorities said they do not believe she would have abandoned her young son. Investigators are treating the disappearance as a potential homicide, Desmond remains the primary suspect, and no charges have been filed.

Did anyone in the Cambridge area know Amy’s routines, friends, or where she might have gone in October 2002?
