LFD DESCRIPTIONS   Driven initially by a unwavering search for justice and answers to questions surrounding the unexplained death of her older brother;  Sherri Warren has been a quest for over three decade that has given her access to the policies and procedures that are prevailing in local, state and national law enforcement and the judicial system.  Committed, passionate, unwavering and refusing to be pushed aside in her journey to find answers to why her brother was hanging from a tree in Montgomery County, Maryland in 1986 ; she channeled that energy for a greater good and founded The Keith Warren Justice Foundation (TKWJF) where she serves as the Executive Director.
