Who Killed Sherri Lynn Swalley?
On Sunday, December 23, 1973, John Swalley, his 5 year son and 8 year old daughter, Sherri, left Columbus, Ohio and began their journey to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. The park had just opened in 1971 and John thought this trip would be the perfect Christmas gift for his children. But even the most perfectly laid plans could not have prepared this family for the evil that awaited them.
It's been 50 years since Sherri was murdered during a pitstop in Atlanta, GA. Her case remains unsolved.
My wish this holiday season is for Sherri’s case to be solved and justice to be served. If you know anything about the 1973 murder of Sherri Lynn Swalley, please contact the Atlanta Police Department Homicide Unit at (404) 546-4235 or Crime Stoppers Atlanta at (404) 577-TIPS(8477)
