Sherin Mathews: Richardson Toddler Still Missing As Parents Hire Separate Attorneys
RICHARDSON, Texas -- (KXAN) -- The mother and father of a 3-year-old Richardson girl who is still missing have hired separate attorneys.
An attorney representing the girl’s mother says the woman is “distraught” over her daughter’s disappearance, reports KXAS. Attorney Kent Starr told reporters the parents have two attorneys to avoid any potential conflict of interest.
An Amber Alert for Sherin Matthews was issued on Saturday, Oct. 7, after her parents reported her missing. However, that Amber Alert was discontinued on Monday afternoon because authorities said there was no new information concerning her disappearance.
Sherin’s father, Wesley Matthews, 37, was arrested the same day the child was reported missing. An arrest affidavit reveals Mathews ordered Sherin to stand next to a tree near their home in the Dallas suburb of Richardson about 3 a.m. Saturday because she refused to drink her milk. When he went outside about 15 minutes later to check on her, she was gone. However, police say the father didn’t report the child missing until five hours later.
The father is currently charged with abandoning or endangering a child.

[doublepost=1507989585,1507922813][/doublepost]Dozens Attend Community Prayer for Missing 3-Year-Old Sherin Mathews
Saturday marks one week since 3-year-old Sherin Mathews disappeared in Richardson.
Her father, Wesley Mathews, says he sent her to stand by a tree early Saturday morning and hasn't seen her since.
As investigators search frantically to find Sherin, a community came together to pray.
Dozens of people from different faiths and walks of life attended a prayer service by the tree where Sherin reportedly disappeared.
"It's heartbreaking. This is a 3-year-old little girl. We don't know where she is, where she could be," said Gauthami Vemula, a child welfare consultant and aunt to a one- and four-year -old.
Candles, stuffed animals and handwritten notes now mark the spot where Sherin's father says he last saw her.
It is steps away from the Mathews home. Her parents have yet to make a public plea for help finding Sherin.
It's the reason so many felt compelled to attend Friday's prayer, to give a voice to the voiceless and to stand shoulder-to-shoulder for Sharin.
Investigators are focusing on a 15-mile radius surrounding the family home as they search for Sherin. It is located in the 900 block of Sunningdale Drive.
Police are urging anyone with surveillance cameras to check for video of the family's 2013 maroon Acura MDX.
