On a cold January night in 2002, 37‑year‑old pediatrician Dr. Cherryl Lamont Pearson vanished from her suburban home outside Memphis, Tennessee. After a Memphis Grizzlies game and a relaxed evening with friends, she was suddenly gone—leaving behind her phone, pager, and vital medication, along with a life and career she had every reason to return to.
In this episode, the podcast retraces Dr. Pearson’s final known hours, the unsettling discovery of her abandoned car, and the unanswered questions that have haunted her family and community for more than two decades. Listeners are invited to explore the theories surrounding her disappearance and to consider how a beloved doctor could seemingly vanish into thin air.
