Today marks 39 years since the Winfield Township disappearance of a local child in a case that remains unsolved.
On February 22nd 1985, eight-year-old Cherrie Mahan was dropped off at her bus stop after going to school at the South Butler School District, but disappeared before she made it the 300 feet to her Cornplanter Road home in Cabot.
While Mahan was legally declared dead in 1998, the case still remains open with the Pennsylvania State Police as the investigating agency. A PA Crime Stoppers cash reward of $5,000 has been offered for information that leads to an arrest, the solving of the case, or the location of Cherrie.
Many tips and leads have been offered over the years, but the investigation remains ongoing. Contact the Butler Barracks of the State Police for more information.
