In the video, Sherra is seen undergoing an initial interview with authorities. She reportedly showed officers the specific path she walked during the early hours of the morning when she went off the grid. While she is physically safe, QCPD Director Police Colonel Randy Glenn Silvio noted that her statements have been somewhat confusing. “Buhay po at may mga revelation siya pero hindi pa consistent eh,” Silvio shared, adding that a more thorough debriefing is needed once she returns to Manila.

The 19-day search ended when a concerned citizen spotted Sherra and contacted her family. Her fiancé, Mark Arjay Reyes, and her brother were able to confirm her identity via a brief Viber call before immediately traveling to Pangasinan with the Fairview Police Station team to pick her up.

Sherra’s disappearance gripped the nation when she left her home in North Fairview, Quezon City, supposedly to buy wedding shoes, leaving her mobile phone behind. The investigation previously utilized digital forensics on her laptop, which revealed emotional distress and financial burdens linked to her father’s medical condition and the pressure of the upcoming wedding. Police also discovered "sensitive searches" on her device regarding medications that can cause overd0se, sparking fears for her safety.

Sherra De Juan is a dedicated bookkeeper who has been in a relationship with her fiancé for ten years. Her family had previously disputed claims of financial distress, stating that their medical and wedding expenses were well-managed. Her recovery brings a massive sigh of relief to her loved ones, who spent the Christmas holidays pleading for her safe return.

As of this afternoon, Sherra and her family are on their way back to Metro Manila. Authorities are expected to conduct a more detailed investigation to determine whether she left her home voluntarily or if other factors were involved in her nearly three-week absence.

Before Sherra was located, her fiancé Mark Arjay Reyes shared a deeply emotional prenup video, expressing his unwavering hope for her return. In the video, which served as a message of love, he appealed to Sherra to just let the family know she was safe, even for a minute. This public plea drew widespread sympathy from netizens who followed the case closely, especially after the wedding date of December 14 passed without any sign of the bride.
