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 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]
