Cheryl Lee Rowe, 45, disappeared from Richmond Hill, Ontario in the days before Christmas 2011. She was last seen by family just after midnight on December 22, 2011, after leaving a residence on Browndale Crescent when a car picked her up. The day before she had been Christmas shopping with her daughter Kristina and planned to meet her that evening to give her a bag of fresh clothes, but never arrived at the meeting spot and did not show up for scheduled Christmas festivities.

Investigators learned Cheryl may have been headed to the home of a former boyfriend on Rathfon Crescent and believe she reached that residence, but what happened afterward is unclear. York Regional Police later assigned the case to the homicide unit and conducted searches of Mill Pond and Richmond Hill greenbelt areas without finding her. At the time she went missing she wore dark blue jeans, a baby blue winter jacket, a white baseball cap with a green leaf, and purple and black Adidas running shoes. She is 4 feet 11 inches, about 125 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes and a tattoo of wings on her upper back with the names Shane and Kristina.

Multiple media releases and reward offers have been issued, and police say people with direct knowledge may exist. If anyone knew Cheryl, her movements the night of December 22, 2011, or has information about Rathfon Crescent that could help, please come forward.
