More Than 20 Years Later, Twin Hoping for Closure in Murder of Sister Sherry Lewis

It's a twin thing, Terry says. You always come back to each other.

It's truly spectacular, how connected you are to them," Terry Lewis-Foor told Dateline. "Every moment of your life, every big thing, they are there. So when they are gone, you truly feel the emptiness."

Friday marked 22 years that Terry has been without her twin sister Sherry.

It happened on August 5, 1994. Terry and Sherry, who had celebrated their 30th birthdays just three months earlier, had planned to meet up to attend the Decatur Celebration in Decatur, Illinois with a few other family members. The street fair is held the first weekend of August each year, and is filled with food, games and summer celebrations.

Sherry never met up with the group at the fair. Calls to her phone went unanswered.

The Sherry Lewis murder is certainly one of Illinois' most baffling cases. Thanks for adding it to the record.

ISP Unsolved:

Two victims in separate unsolved murder cases have not been forgotten, Sherry Lewis and Caleb Witty. Police are offering a $10,000 from an anonymous donor for each case for information that leads to an arrest or formal charges.

Makes you wonder if any decent leads ever came of that reward offer, which I think has now expired.

Was Sherry married at the time? Were phone records/appt calendar checked for possible name of suspect? Not a lot of info here. MOO

More Than 20 Years Later, Twin Hoping for Closure in Murder of Sister

3 men listed next to the appt time? Are the Illinois State Police doing anything with the DNA? MOO

It's also worth looking into the murder of Charlotte Fimiano in Lower Saucon Township, Bethlehem, PA. At the time the police thought they might be connected. Both women were blonde real estate agents found strangled in properties that they had been requested to show. Both were of a similar age range and they even look slightly similar. Police were never able to formally connect the two cases, but it's worth taking another look. I'm attaching an article.
