Winfield Township, PA – Cherrie Mahan disappeared on February 22, 1985, after stepping off a school bus near her home. She was eight years old.
Police say Mahan exited the bus on Cornplanter Road and was last seen walking toward her house. Witnesses reported a blue or green conversion van nearby. The driver remains unidentified.
The Pennsylvania State Police are still investigating the case and are offering a $5,000 reward for information. They encourage the public to come forward with any tips that could lead to an arrest or recovery.
In 2000, authorities released an age-progressed photo of Mahan, but no new evidence surfaced. In 2018, a letter surfaced claiming to reveal details about her murder, but its credibility remains uncertain.
Anyone with information should contact Pennsylvania State Police at 724-284-8100 or submit tips online.
