The world had gone into lockdown.
Covid-19 had exploded into a full blown pandemic.
Schools and businesses were shuttered.
Streets in cities across the United States were eerily quiet.
It was the spring of 2020, but at least one business in Ogden, Utah, remained open, Dave Moore's sewing machine repair shop.
Dave and his brother, who co owned the business, were trying to keep up with a sudden surge in demand for their services.
We were extremely busy when Covid broke out because everyone was staying home, making masks.
Dave's shop is still located right where it had been in October of 1985, on the night when Cherie Warren had disappeared.
The bar on the other side of the parking lot where Dave had gone for a drink with his friend Carrie Hartman that night was still there, too, but it had changed names and owners several times over the decades.
Theres a small office tucked in the back of Daves shop.
Dave was working in the office one day that spring of 2020 when he heard someone come through the door onto the sales floor.
My brother was down on the floor and Kerry came in.
And my brother's not real fond of Kerry, said, let me see if he'll see you.
So he came up and I just walked down real briefly, said, hi, you know, what are you doing?
And he basically gave me this story.
He was living in a halfway house and somebody donated a bed and a small tv to him.
And that was basically the conversation.
A modest new beginning for Kerry Hartman.
