The Murder of Cheryl Callaway Part 1: Big City Crime

The Murder of Cheryl Callaway Part 1: Big City Crime

One detective called the slaying of Cheryl Ann Callaway “the most vicious murder in Arlington’s history.” Arlington Police Crimes Against Person Unit Detectives Sgt. Mike Adair and Mike Leyman call it the one that got away. On January 30th, 1974, just months before she was to be married, 18-year-old Cheryl’s life was taken. The murder was brutal and unimaginable, and the killer, it seemed, came out of nowhere…and struck out of a motivation that remains unclear 50 years later. No one who knew Cheryl could imagine who would have a reason to kill the young women; she had no enemies. Arlington Police Detectives Sgt. Adair and Leyman, who still think about the only crime they couldn’t solve together, hit the ground running. Evidence lacked at the scene of the crime, and Leyman and Adair knew at the get-go they were up against a tough case. Part 1 of 2.

Special thanks to former Arlington detectives Mike Leyman and Sgt. Mike Adair for their contributions to this episode, and to our pal Kathleen Barnett for making that happen
