Cherrie Ann Mahan is a missing person from Pennsylvania in the United States. She disappeared on February 22, 1985 after getting off a school bus along a road in rural Winfield Township, Butler County. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which opened in 1984, featured Mahan as its first child listed on their mass-mailed "Have You Seen Me?" search cards. Mahan's case was on CNN in January 2011.^[1]

Background

Mahan was last seen getting off a school bus on February 22, 1985. Nearby was a blue-green van with a skier painted on the side. Most of the leads given to police have been sightings of Mahan or the van, but none have materialized. In January of 2011, Pennsylvania police received a new tip that they deem very promising, but will not release details as they fear it will endanger the investigation.^[2]
