In a shocking turn of events, the mystery surrounding Dr. Cheryl Pearson, a respected pediatrician who vanished without a trace on January 5, 2002, continues to haunt her family and the Bartlett, Tennessee community. Cheryl, 37, was last seen after attending a Memphis Grizzlies game, returning home around 10:30 PM. Friends visited her until 1:00 AM, but by morning, Cheryl was gone, leaving behind her cell phone, pager, and crucial diabetes medication.

The urgency escalated when Cheryl’s sister arrived to drop off her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren for 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦sitting, only to find the house eerily quiet and her car missing. Immediate police involvement sparked frantic searches, revealing little more than a suspicious payphone call to Cheryl just after her friends left. Investigators soon discovered her blue Audi parked in an apartment lot, shockingly clean of forensic evidence, suggesting foul play.

Despite intensive investigations, the trail has grown cold over the years. Cheryl’s family endured nine agonizing years before she was legally declared dead in 2009, yet no body has been found. Theories emerged, including scrutiny of her sister’s husband Chuck, a man with a criminal past, but he was ultimately cleared of suspicion.

Desperation for answers remains palpable. Cheryl’s loved ones still hold onto the hope that someone in the community knows what happened that fateful night. Now, over two decades later, the case stands unresolved, a haunting reminder of unresolved questions and a life so tragically interrupted. If you have any information regarding Dr. Cheryl Pearson’s disappearance, please contact the Bartlett Tennessee Police Department immediately. Time is running out for answers.
