track 75: Cherry walker
Summary: Cherry Walker, 39, was an overly trusting and sweet person. Although her kind nature and developmental delay made her especially vulnerable, that didn’t stop Cherry from living her best life and working hard. In 2009, she was hired as a babysitter for Kimberly Cargill's son. It was a job that she loved dearly. But when Cherry doesn’t show up to her family’s church for Father’s Day, her father knew in his gut something just wasn’t right. Will his fatherly instinct be one of many clues that helps solve his daughter’s disappearance?
