Lead #3What was the status of her marriage and relationship with her husband at the time of disappearance?
Sherie Ann Graves, a 32-year-old woman, was last seen at a motel in Modesto, California on May 1, 1988, though she was not reported missing until 1992—a four-year gap that complicated the investigation. She and her husband lived a transient lifestyle, moving between trailer parks and motels in the Modesto area, which may have hindered early search efforts. The Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department continues to seek information about her disappearance and any leads that might explain what happened to her during those missing years.
