Police can't verify woman's claims Cherrie Mahan is missing, but fingerprints don't match

Pennsylvania State Police, who are investigating, say they have yet to have “in-person contact” with the woman claiming to be Cherrie Mahan.

Police have shared an update after a woman claimed to be Cherrie Mahan, who disappeared in 1985 when she was just 8 years old.

Mahan was last seen getting off a school bus about 100 yards from her home in Pennsylvania on Feb. 22, 1985, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

In May, a woman shared a post in a Facebook group claiming she was Mahan, CBS affiliate KDKA-TV, and USA today reported. The individual who posted this message has been banned from the page, moderator Brock Organ wrote on Thursday, May 30.

In an update on Thursday, June 6, Pennsylvania State Police said the woman left them a voicemail, but they were unable to contact her.

“No contact could be made with the female at the phone number and address provided by the caller,” state police wrote. “This woman has not contacted the Pennsylvania State Police or any other law enforcement agency that we are aware of since her initial message or voicemail.”
