Cherrie Mahan: The Blue Van, New Leads & 41 Years of Questions
from Santana True Crime · host Cameron Santana, Eric Tansey
On February 22, 1985, 8-year-old Cherrie Mahan stepped off her school bus in rural Pennsylvania and began the short walk toward her home—only about 100 yards away.She never made it.More than 41 years later, Cherrie remains missing.In this episode of Santana True Crime, Cameron Santana is joined by Dr Brian Santana to take a deep dive into Cherrie’s disappearance.We examine the known timeline, the mysterious blue/green van with a mountain and skier mural, other vehicles reportedly seen in the area, and the possibility that whoever took Cherrie may have known her—or at least known her routine.We also discuss the renewed attention surrounding the case, recent searches, people who claim to have information, and one particularly unusual claim involving a proposed live podcast appearance and a polygraph examination.Was Cherrie the victim of a random predator who happened to be in exactly the right place at exactly the right time? Or was someone waiting for her to step off that school bus?After four decades, one question remains:What happened to Cherrie Mahan?
