This week, Drewby and Yergy head down to Binghamton, New York, to discuss the case of Cheri Lindsey, a girl whose death still haunts her hometown decades later. Cheri was a 7th grader at East Middle School when she took on a part-time newspaper delivery route in her neighborhood. She was described as punctual, with one of her customers stating that “You could predict the exact second your paper would show up.” But then one day, Cheri never made it home from her route... Very quickly, all fingers started pointing to one of her customers - a man named James Wales - the same man who trained Sheri on her paper route.
