So actually we as a police or any agency never found her.

My wife and I moved.

We had to literally move.

This case got so much attention and

I drew so much criticism, and I'll criticize myself before anybody, but I don't have any type of... I don't feel bad about this case because, in my opinion, I did a really good job on this case.

It's just a lot of things never worked out in our favor.

You know, the video timing, the two different videos timing out, things like that, and, you know, people that we were...

zoned in on as far as you know we can get something with cell phone that we didn't get that because cell phone wasn't moving around that would have you know given us a place you know to corroborate certain things and stuff like that so we struck out but

it's not my department's fault and you know i don't want to be cocky but it wasn't my fault right certain crimes just don't always you know get solved correct so when did her are we at the point where her body gets found yes okay yeah so um

It was getting bad for my family around COVID.

You know, people were starting to put on like Facebook, like where my daughter, my youngest daughter went to school, what class she was in.

We ordered a pizza one night and the pizza delivery driver recognized the last name of on our delivery because we had to sign, you know, paid with our debit card.

And then he starts blowing my

wife a bunch of crap about, you know, oh, is your husband the guy that's on the Cheryl Coker case?

You know, what's up with that?

Why hasn't... And it was like that night, she got... You're delivering pizzas, bro.

So this guy starts, you know, blowing her a bunch of crap.

And that was like the definitive moment where we're like, we have to move from this city and we got to do it like ASAP.

So we move April of 2020 out to Bethel Township, like 20 minutes away from Riverside.

um into a different neighborhood and while we were moving i believe this was like on april 27th i want to say was the exact date i get a phone call we're literally moving furniture into the new house and i get a phone call like hey we think uh cheryl's remains were found um a mushroom hunter of all people was is mushroom hunting a thing down here no
