The search for Sherra De Juan, the Quezon City bride-to-be who vanished just days before her wedding, has taken a turn into the supernatural and the desperate. With conventional leads running dry and anxiety reaching a fever pitch, Sherra’s fiancé, Mark RJ Reyes, and her family have sought answers from beyond the physical realm. In a dramatic development, a well-known psychic, Jay Costura, was consulted to shed light on Sherra’s fate. His reading offered a mix of relief and confusion: he claims Sherra is alive (“She’s alive… Buhay siya”), but she is in a state of deep emotional conflict. The psychic’s vision suggests that Sherra is torn, her mind and heart at war, and most shockingly, he hinted at a “third party” influence that might be forcing a wedge between her and her fiancé. This revelation has added a sensational layer to a case that was already baffling investigators and the public alike.

While the psychic realm offers cryptic clues, the boots-on-the-ground investigation by the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) is focused on hard evidence, specifically a bus. Lieutenant Colonel Roldante Sarmiento of QCPD Station 5 revealed that their current tracking efforts hit a literal roadblock—or rather, a blind spot. CCTV footage confirmed Sherra was walking near a Petron gas station in North Fairview, but her image was obscured at a critical moment by a passing bus. Investigators are now working tirelessly to identify that specific bus, hoping that its onboard cameras or dashcam captured Sherra boarding the vehicle or continuing her journey on foot. This “bus angle” is pivotal; if she boarded voluntarily, it strengthens the theory that she left of her own accord. If she didn’t, the window of where she could have gone narrows significantly.

The timeline of Sherra’s disappearance remains a source of frustration. On December 10, she was reportedly in high spirits, having just received her wedding gown. She communicated with Mark via Messenger around 1:00 PM, expressing excitement about buying bridal shoes. Her last message at 1:18 PM indicated she was leaving the house and leaving her phone behind to charge—a habit Mark claims was normal for short trips nearby. However, leaving a communication device behind has severely handicapped the search, leaving no digital breadcrumbs to follow. When she failed to return by evening, Mark and Sherra’s siblings launched their own search at the Fairview Center Mall, only to find that the mall’s main entrance and exit CCTV cameras were under maintenance, a critical failure that has left a gaping hole in the investigation.

Mark RJ Reyes, who has been with Sherra for nearly a decade, is facing a nightmare on multiple fronts. Not only is his partner missing, but he is also dealing with the intense scrutiny that comes with being the last person to communicate with the victim. Despite this, he remains cooperative and vocal, raising the reward money from P20,000 to P100,000 for any information leading to Sherra. In emotional interviews, he describes their relationship as strong and long-term, dismissing ideas of a “cold feet” scenario. He insists Sherra had no known enemies and was working 100% from home, limiting her social exposure. His plea to the public is simple and heartbreaking: “Help us find her. We are helpless.”

The “third party” theory introduced by the psychic has sparked intense debate. Could there be someone else in Sherra’s life that no one knew about? Or is the “third party” a metaphor for an external pressure or situation that forced her to flee? The family maintains that Sherra was open about her problems, making a secret life seem unlikely to them. Yet, the psychic’s insistence that she is “alive but struggling to decide” aligns with the lack of evidence pointing to foul play. As of now, police have found no signs of a struggle or violence, keeping the hope alive that this is a case of a voluntary disappearance that can still have a happy ending.

As the days turn into weeks, the urgency grows. The QCPD is appealing to any motorists who were in the North Fairview area on December 10 around 1:30 PM to check their dashcams. A fleeting image of Sherra could be the key to breaking the case wide open. For now, the family waits, suspended between the hope of her return and the terror of the unknown. Whether the answer lies in a psychic’s vision, a bus camera, or a dashcam clip, the entire nation is watching, waiting for the bride to finally come home.
