Pennsylvania State Police announced Thursday, June 6 that an initial review of fingerprints linked to the name of a female caller claiming to be Cherrie Mahan indicate she is not the missing girl who disappeared in Winfield Township in 1985 when she was 8 years old.

The department shared that it is investigating a recent online post and voicemail left with state police in which a female caller claims she is Cherrie Mahan. Since her initial voicemail and post, the caller has not contacted law enforcement, and could not be reached at the phone number and address she provided, nor has law enforcement had in-person contact with her, according to state police.

The woman’s claim will be investigated if she makes herself available to any law enforcement agency, state police shared in a news release.
