Trail Ride Benefits Murder Victim’s Family

April 10, 2009

A benefit trail ride in memory of Cheryl Cain was held Saturday.

The body of Cheryl Renee Cain, 29, of Cantonment, was found in a dumpster at an abandoned gas station at the corner of Burgess Road and Highway 29 on March 25. There have been no arrests in the murder, but Escambia County deputies said they have possible suspects the case.

The trail ride will beganSaturday morning at the Circle Feed and Tack Store on Highway 90 in Holt and ended about 15 miles away in Baker at this past weekend’s Baker Rodeo.

“It’s about a five hour ride with a long lunch,” said Jimmy Kennedy, one of the ride’s organizers and longtime Cain family friend.

Kennedy said he was helping to organize the ride because Cain was such a great person.

“I’ve known her and her family for many, many years. She was a good friend, and they are all really good people,” he said.

Funds from the trail ride will go to the family to use as reward money as the search continues for Cain’s killer. There was a requested $5 donation to ride, but larger donations were accepted.

Riders met at the Circle Feed and Tack Store on Highway 90 in Holt.

To donate to the fund, contact Jimmy at (850) 516-6850 or Darryl at at (850) 516-6652.
