“I believe in my heart that I am Cherrie Mahan. I have been living in a lie of a life for a very long time,” she wrote on January 18. “I’m extremely traumatized and have had a very hard life. I’ve been looking at photos of my family and I remember now.
“I don’t know how this could happen. My heart finally feels whole again as I’ve held on to hope for so long. I am tired and have endured so much by people I thought had my best interest at heart. I am still so grateful and looking forward to the future.”

A DNA test has not been issued, and comments are speculative at best. But Kera said she doesn’t want to “get silenced in a permanent way” and is waiting on an answer from the state police after previously calling them.
She also claimed that she is the same age Cherrie would be today — which is 48 years old.
Kera’s post is fairly recent, but it’s gained a lot of attention. At the time of writing, more than 100 comments flood the post, many describing how insensitive her words are.
