A terrifying child abduction takes place as 8 year old Cherish Perrywinkle is shopping with her mom in a busy store on June 21st 2013 in Jacksonville, Florida.

Her family had been approached by a kindly older man offering to pay for their clothes as he waited for his wife. However in reality there was no wife & this was no kindly man, but a dangerous, registered sex offender.

As Cherish disappears from the safety of the store the last glimpses of her walking out with 61 year old predator Donald Smith are caught on CCTV. These final images of Cherish are truly haunting because after this she was never seen alive again.

Her battered body was found in a creek & her injuries so severe, extensive & horrifying even a seasoned Doctor nearly broke down whilst relaying her injuries in court.

Cherish's tragic case shines a light on the predators who walk amongst us free to offend time & again. Monsters who target vulnerable families in order to gain access to their innocent victims.

And how even if a stranger claims to be a family man just wanting to help you out, there is a chance that under the friendly facade lurks a deadly wolf in sheep's clothing. A reality that heartbreakingly little Cherish & her family found out in the most devastating way possible....
