July 12th marks the 28th anniversary of the disappearance of Cheryl.
 
I wonder if there are any details available such as the time of day she was walking to her friend's house, what she was wearing, did her friends/family report any recent arguments, did she have a boyfriend if so what was their relationship like (ie did they get along well)...just so many questions I could go on and on....How long was she gone before reported missing....

Also has anyone looked at the Doe network or Charley Project to see if the descriptions/time frames might match to any? I'll check....
 
Thought I would bump this up, since there has been some recent interest in 1970's cold cases in PA. Perhaps there might be some connections between Cheryl's case and others.
 
I wish I knew more about this case -- I know nothing beyond what is on the NCMEC poster. I'm wondering if maybe she was married, though. Girls married young back then, and the "Moser Iacovone" could be her maiden name followed by her married last name. There are least three other girls listed on the NCMEC who were married, and I know one of them had children, though she was just 17.
 
I wonder how else to get some details released? I guess just contacting the cold case unit/police detectives to see if they can give out further information?

That's too bad. After all this time, seems like they would try another approach (ie releasing a little more info)....

This case makes me sad because I live in Secane. I've asked my mother if she remembers when it happened and she does. I was too young to remember. This year was the 30th anniversary of Cheryl's disappearance and I didn't hear anything about it. I even emailed the local paper to see if they would do a story on it but got no response. I often wonder about her family and wish that there would be closure for them. I wonder if they still live in Secane or nearby.

I notice that some girls still marry young in some rural areas, often while still in high school. It seems that most of them are divorced by the time they hit 20 though, once they are mature enough to come to their senses I guess.
 
This isn't THAT far from where Shelley Luty disappeared in the early 80s. It's a different neighborhood, but about the same high school district (Upper Darby)

Cheryl's abduction site is close to three other girls that went missing in the Philadelphia area between 1975 and 1983: Edna Thorne (Philly, June of 1975); Wendy Eaton (May, 1975) and Tracey Byrd (March 1983). Edna, Wendy and Tracey were all short (between 4'10 and 5'1) and small (90 to 105 lbs). Cheryl was fairly tall compared to them. I want to do some more mapping of additional cases to see if any pattern emerges.
 
I have been in contact with Cheryl's half-sister, and she has offered to provide us with any information on Cheryl's case that she can.

If anyone has any questions for Cheryl's family, please let me know and I will forward them to her.

BTW, last Thursday, Apr 22 was Cheryl's 50th birthday.

Please let her know people remember this news about her sister. People care. I pray she may see her half sister again.
 
Apparently, Cheryl Iacovone’s mother (understantably) nixed the idea of Cheryl’s sister talking about the case to strangers.

She did say that there is a 1983 newspaper article about Cheryl's case in the Delco (i.e., Delaware County PA) Daily Times, and she said that she would mail me a copy. If she does, I will post the info here.

She says that the articles are available at Widener University archives under Delco Daily Times, but I am unable to find them on the Widener University website, or on the Delco Daily Times website.
 
I read somewere that contact had been made with a half sister that expressed interest in talking with people about this case. " However " when the mother of Cheryl found out she basically told the sister to clam up.

I thought this suspicious , but i have never been a mom , not even a father.

I wonder if it is an issue of being to painfull ? to relive this all over again ?
or does it mean more.

Anyone have any thoughts ?
