She Was Wearing Nothing But A Necklace When A Truck Driver Found Her Dead Along The Highway And 41 Years Later She’s No Longer A Jane Doe

“She loved children, animals, and horseback riding,” Sherri’s family said in a statement read aloud at the press conference identifying her as the Walker County Jane Doe.

“She was a tender 13 years of age when the state removed her from our home for habitual truancy. Sherri never returned to our home as promised, in a letter we received from her shortly after her departure.”

“She was deprived of so many life experiences as a result of this tragedy. She was denied the opportunity to experience romance, and love, and marital bliss. The heartache, and the pain of loss.”

“The pure joy of having children or growing old and being able to reflect on set milestones afforded by abounding lifetime.”

The Walker County Sheriff’s Office is now focused on finding out who took Sherri’s life, and her case is quite similar to other murders that have happened throughout Texas.

Authorities revealed that after Sherri was officially identified, they received new information that may hopefully lead to her killer.
