The Riverside mom disappeared in October 2018 after dropping her daughter off at school.

Four months after her disappearance investigators told News Center 7 that their suspect was Cheryl’s husband, Bill Coker.

Then in April 2020, a mushroom hunter found Cheryl’s remains in a rural part of Greene County.

To this day, no one has been arrested.

News Center 7 just learned that the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office chose not to file charges in this case.

Riverside police said they presented what they felt was a very solid case last May but no charges were filed.

Chery’s sister Margie Kennan sent a statement saying “We constantly pray that this is in the minds of the prosecution and that justice will come to fruition in due time.”
