Case Episode 36: The Mysterious 5-Second Call at 1:58AM | The Disappearance of Dr. Cherryl Lamont Pearson

In the late night of Friday, January 4 into Saturday, January 5, 2002, in Bartlett, Tennessee, 37 year old Cherryl Pearson was home spending time with friends. Just a few hours prior, on the Friday night before, Cherryl attended the Memphis Grizzlies basketball game at the Pyramid.

Everything appeared okay on the surface because Cherryl had plans that early Saturday morning to babysit her sister’s children while she went to work, but that never happened. Cherryl’s sister arrived to her home and there was no answer — no sign of Cherryl. It was odd because Cherryl would not have missed it for anything.

As a beloved pediatrician that served her community, known for her promptness and love for children, this seemed unlikely for her to not be present to watch the children. Things just went…quiet, but for reasons unknown.

This immediately sparked concern.

Cherryl had no known enemies, no issues within her community, but something somewhere in between felt odd, out of character for Cherryl.

After concern drew stronger, it was discovered than an odd call came in that lasted only a few seconds…and this call could be the missing piece of thus puzzle or something far more sinister to this 24 year mystery.

We’re going to discuss the case details surrounding her cold disappearance, understand the timeline, analyze every detail to understand who may be involved and what they would gain, and close with my opinion.
