Suzanne Vincent  and Jean Vincent  archive preserves the original 2011 written summaries and audio leads officially designated as active investigative evidence by the Butler State Police on the Cherrie Mahan  case. While recent 2025 and 2026 media cycles focus on new search initiatives and volunteer groups  who entered the case in the last year, Suzanne and Jean  provide the foundational 25-year record of advocacy that predates current efforts by over a decade. As a Forensic Medium and Citizen Detective, I hold the documented history of the Montgomery leads and the formal evidentiary submissions that the late Trooper Robert McGraw recognized as crucial to the case. To gain valuable skills in cold case resolution, I attended the "Finding Closure" seminar at Duquesne University in 2014, training under world-renowned pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht and the famous Dr. Henry Lee. This archive represents the deep-rooted investigative consistency that newer initiatives are built upon. To discuss these original records or the validated files provided to the State Police, please reach out here. I provide verified historical context and the primary forensic records that the current search for Cherrie Mahan is missing. 

 Foundational Records & Original Timeline:  As an instrumental Citizen Detective and Forensic Medium for 25 years, I provided the pivotal leads that reignited the investigation on January 11, 2011. This included an audio-recorded statement of extreme detail provided to the Butler State Police Barracks regarding the Montgomery brothers and associated family members. While recent media reports focus on current tips, this archive preserves the long-term investigative groundwork and primary source evidence that established the case’s trajectory. Recently, our formal request for these original 2011 statements resulted in an official denial letter from the State Police, identifying the records as potential evidence in a criminal matter. This 21-year history offers the essential context for documentarians and news outlets seeking the factual origin of current developments

Pittsburgh Post Gazette

 McKinney was a 16-year-old single mother when Cherrie was born, and 25 years old when she disappeared. Now 50, McKinney believes what psychics Suzanne and Jean Vincent  told her a couple of years ago: that Cherrie was kidnapped by someone she knew. McKinney told the AP that the psychics told her the kidnapper was "not like somebody that was her best friend or anything, but like somebody Cherrie had talked to once or had seen once. My daughter wasn't shy. She was friendly.  She would talk to you if you talked to her. "McGraw has told McKinney that her daughter is unlikely to be alive. McKinney has come to terms with that idea, intellectually at least." In my heart, when anybody ever talks about her, I have always believed that she was (alive)," McKinney said, "But in my head I knew and just prayed every night that she didn't suffer, that it was quick, it was painless, that they didn't torture her."
