Cherish Perrywinkle was an 8-year-old girl from Jacksonville, Florida who was abducted from a Walmart on June 21, 2013. She was seen on CCTV cameras leaving the store with a man named Donald Smith who was later convicted of her murder.
Cherish Lily Perrywinkle was born on Christmas Eve of 2004 to Rayne Perrywinkle and Billy Jarreau, whose marriage ended in divorce and subsequent custody battles.
On June 21, 2013 around 8 pm, Rayne, Cherish, and her two younger sisters went shopping when they first met Donald Smith at a Dollar General, where he offered to buy them clothes, they could not afford with a $150 Walmart gift card.
The Perrywinkles then got into his white van and went with him to Walmart, where they shopped for the next 2 hours.
At 10:30 pm, Smith offered to get them cheeseburgers at the store’s McDonald's and convinced Cherish to go with him.
However, surveillance footage shows that they walked out of the store instead, which was the last time Cherish was seen alive.
