Website established for missing special needs teen LostNMissing Inc has established a website for missing Shanna Peoples, 19, of Geneva, Alabama
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, by Karen Ranoni January 19, 2011
LostNMissing Inc. and the family of missing Shanna Peoples have rolled out a new website www.findshanna.com hoping to capture the attention of a wider audience. "I just want our daughter home where we know she will be safe." said Elvis McKee the father of Shanna. "Her mother is not holding up well, losing sleep and having a difficult time with her health and controlling her diabetes." Both parents are battling illness. Shanna's mom, a brittle diabetic, and her father battles extreme high blood pressure and heart ailments.
Elvis explains, "It is very hard in not knowing if my child is safe, well fed and not being abused. All we need is to know where she is, with whom and why they will not let her call home?" Elvis strongly believes that someone, or multiple people, may have talked Shanna into going somewhere and never brought their special needs daughter home. Windy McKee, Shanna's mom, said "All one would have to ask is if she wanted to go to McDonalds and she would have went. Especially if she recognized the person or if they were a mere acquaintance." said McKee. "I just beg whoever has Shanna to allow her to call home. Let us know she is alive and well." her mother cries.
Shanna Genelle Peoples, aka McKee, 19, is missing from Geneva, Alabama since September 08, 2011. She is considered at-risk due to her vulnerability as she is developmentally challenged. Shanna has a speech impediment and cannot read nor write well. She may be under the influence of adult males in their late 40's.
Shanna was reportedly last seen on the afternoon of Sept. 8, 2011 and never returned. Fears exist for her safety as she would never just disappear on her own. Shanna must take needed medication for medical purposes. She does not talk much and is childlike.
Land and air searches have been conducted by the police, Alabama Bureau of Investigation as well as many volunteers. The Geneva police departments along with half a dozen other agencies are utilizing their resources to help look for Shanna.
Her normally long blonde hair may be colored, cut or style changed. She is not hard to miss as she is six-feet tall and thin. Her family ask that the public please help look for Shanna. Both her mother and father have health problems and are extremely stressed since she went missing. On the day she went missing, her father was in the hospital for a heart condition and checked himself out to look for his daughter. He has been back to the hospital twice since her missing status.
Please help this family bring home their loved daughter. The website www.findshanna.com also has a link for public donations towards helping to build the reward fund managed by the family. "At present the state of Alabama has contributed $5,000 towards information leading to the safe return of Shanna." says Cynthia Caron, President and Founder of LostNMissing Inc. "As a mother of a special needs young adult son, my heart aches in just knowing how easily our vulnerable can be taken advantage of. We will do all possible to bring Shanna home to her family." says Caron. "A call was returned from the Dr. Phil Show, to Windy, and we hope to connect soon as this family needs more national attention." explains Caron. "Shanna could be anywhere in the USA by now. We need everyone to look twice at young girls who stand six feet tall." Caron states.
Taken from her website, ABOUT SHANNA:

FAMILY ANNOUNCES $5,000 REWARD FOR INFORMATION LEADING TO THE SAFE RETURN OF SHANNA SHANNA IS 6 FEET TALL - SHE HAS LARGE DIMPLES WHEN SMILES - SPACE IN TOP TEETH
MISSING: September 08, 2011 FROM: Geneva County, Alabama
THANKSGIVING WITHOUT SHANNA: Shanna Peoples, 19, went missing on September 08, 2011 from Geneva County, Alabama. Her family had a somber Thanksgiving in which an empty chair sat that normally would be occupied by her. Peoples’s mother, Windy McKee, says “Thanksgiving was not the same. We really had nothing to celebrate except to pray and ask that whomever is holding our daughter, to please let her go.” Peoples’s stepfather, Elvis McKee, pipes in “Shanna is a wonderful young woman but she is extremely vulnerable and we believe that someone is either holding her against her will, or taking full advantage of her childlike 12-14 year old mentality. We only want her home where she is safe and so that when she does go out we know who she is with and what their intentions are with our daughter.” Peoples also is in need of required medication that has not been filled, nor has she made any attempts to give a location to receive her social security checks, which are being held for her at the Social Security Office.
Her parents is on a fixed income and has reached out to LostNMissing Inc, and KlaasKids, both nonprofit organizations that assists families of missing, to help them locate their daughter. Not a day goes by that they are not out searching, driving up and down streets and talking to people from neighborhood to neighborhood in their search for Peoples. “It’s like she just disappeared,” Elvis said. “Initially she befriended an adult male who is nearly 50 years old. “We were not happy about that,” said Peoples’s mom, “because she is a young woman and needs to associate with those around her own age. He was also quite bossy to her.” Elvis further adds, “While we know the last sighting was at his home, we do not know if someone may have befriended Shanna, one of his friends perhaps?” If that is the case, Peoples could be anywhere as he has friends with ties in Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee and even Missouri. “At this point we are reaching out to the entire United States. Shanna Peoples is easy to spot. She is nearly six-feet tall and that is unusual for a girl.” Elvis said.
A $5,000 reward is offered to whomever provides the information to the Geneva Police Department leading to the safe return of Shanna Peoples, or, information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone responsible for her disappearance.
In the weeks since Peoples has been missing a search was conducted by KlaasKids as well as a Poster and Balloon event sponsored by LostNMissing Inc. KlaasKids also attended and along with family, friends and the public they helped to hang missing posters around various communities. The family asks that the public please look closely at the posters, as “Shanna must be out there somewhere. The alternative is too incomprehensible,” Elvis stated. In the meantime Shanna’s parents gaze out at the empty chair at the table and pray that she will be seated there for the upcoming Christmas dinner. “It just will not be a holiday without her.” Windy cries.
Shanna is 5’11” – 6’0 tall with normally long light brown hair that she colors sandy blonde. It is possible that she may have colored her hair dark, or black as she has mentioned in the past that it was something she would like to do. She has brown eyes and weighs 120 lbs. She cannot read well and does not remember phone numbers or addresses. She also may want to come home but cannot, or is not physically able to reach out to her family for help. The family is pleading with the public to please help look for Shanna.

Five years later, mom determined not to quit search for missing son By Denise Crosby January 14, 2012 7:24PM
It wasn’t long after the massive and emotionally draining search for her son began that Sue Olsen looked at one of her friends and sighed. “I can’t imagine,” she said, “doing this two years from now. Or five.” Unfortunately, she is. Friday will be the fifth anniversary of the disappearance of Brad Olsen, who, at age 26, was last seen looking for a ride home from a bar in DeKalb. Dozens of news articles have been written about the Maple Park man who went missing Jan. 20, 2007. Hundreds of billboards and fliers were posted. Thousands of man hours — from police, family, friends and strangers — have been logged in the ongoing search that has included planes, helicopters, all-terrain vehicles, horses, canoes, canine units and psychics. So much has happened, yet so little. In the five years since, there have been no arrests and no clues as to what happened to Brad Olsen — who lived with his parents — on that cold winter night. Still, his mother refuses to slow down, much less concede defeat. The DeKalb police say they are still “aggressively pursuing” leads, and Olsen prays for a break in the case that has haunted her dreams and defined her life. Even more than an arrest or conviction, she wants to be able to bury what is left of her son, who was declared legally dead in March 2010. “If I got one or the other, I would be satisfied,” Olsen says. “But I would rather find Brad’s remains and not have his killer brought to justice than to have somebody convicted and never find his remains.” The harsh winters of the last few years have rendered that task more difficult. But this mild season, at least until the first big snow, has made it possible to “get out a lot,” looking in areas that otherwise were inaccessible. Twice in the last week, Olsen went with “my canine group,” which includes eight to 10 teams of volunteers and their dogs trained to sniff out cadavers. “The creeks are so low, it’s an opportune time to search the banks,” she says. There are other things Olsen can do to keep the search alive. Last week, before the snowstorm, she took advantage of the balmy weather to replace worn and missing posters with another 50 or 60 signs in the DeKalb, Sycamore and Elburn areas. On Friday, she was in the snow hanging banners at the intersection of County Line Road and Route 38. Olsen also maintains close contact with missing persons groups and data banks; and routinely Googles words like body and remains and skeletal, “hoping for something” to pop up. Some days she gets as many as 100 alerts. And Olsen makes it a point of speaking regularly to DeKalb police, whose efforts she describes as “awesome.” While the investigation is still active, and tips continue to come in, “a case this old becomes much more time-consuming,” says Lt. Gary Spangler. “We are doing as much as we can. Whether any of these tips pan out remains to be seen.” At this point, Olsen admits, there is little else to go on except hunches — and their memories. In November, the family held a memorial service for Brad at the local Methodist church. On Friday, there will be a simple gathering for a few close loved ones to remember the young man “who loved life and lived it so fully.” But searching for closure means searching for his body. In addition to helping oversee the rental property she and husband Bill own, Olsen spends time with her surviving children and grandchildren, including Brad’s young daughter. Even then, she can feel guilt pulling at her for taking time away from finding the remains. More than Bill, who tries to steady the emotional roller coaster they’ve been forced to ride for five years, this quest now defines her new normal. Olsen said the night Brad disappeared, she had a dream while on vacation in Mexico. Someone was beating him badly, a vision that was clear enough for her to identify general features of the assailants. The next morning she tried desperately to get in touch with her son. By then, he was already gone. “I’m not giving up,” Olsen says. “I am determined ... hopeful that something will break.” Source: http://beaconnews.suntimes.com/9971599-417/five-years-later-mom-determined-not-to-quit-search-for-missing-son.html
Patrick F. Carnes, 86, and his 100-pound mixed breed dog Lucky vanished without a trace from I-80 in Nevada 20 miles east of Winnemucca Wednesday, April 13, 2011. Mr. Carnes was traveling from Ohio to his home in Reno, NV. When he failed to arrive home family members reported him missing. Police located his dark green Subaru abandoned near exit 205 along I-80. Missing from the vehicle were Carnes and Lucky, as well as Carnes’s wallet. His checkbook and luggage remained in the vehicle He was last seen at a Flying J Travel Plaza in Wells, Nevada, April 13 around 9 p.m., 350 miles east of Reno. Mr. Carnes is a WWII Veteran in good health, and he often traveled with his dog. Family, law enforcement and volunteers have searched tirelessly for him but have not turned up any clues. It is thought he may have gotten a ride from someone traveling along I-80. A reward is being offered for any information about his disappearance and can check his website for reward info and details at www.patcarnesmissing.com. Height: 5'11" Weight: 180 lbs Hair: Balding Eyes: Blue Clothing: Last seen wearing a Toledo Mud Hens baseball cap at the time of his disappearance. He is fair skinned and always wears his glasses. America's Most Wanted: Patrick, a World War II vet who served in the Solomon Islands, was a proud, active man, with no signs of slowing down. On April 12, he packed up his dark green Subaru wagon and drove back to Reno with his best friend, a slightly overweight, 100-pound Akita/mixed-breed dog named "Lucky." The following night, just after Patrick and Lucky entered the state of Nevada, a trooper pulled Patrick over for not changing lanes appropriately near the town of Wells. After speaking briefly with the officer, Patrick got off with a warning and continued his late-night trek across the state via westbound I-80. Though they were only about a six hour drive from Reno, Patrick and Lucky never made it there. The next morning, Patrick's car was found abandoned in sage brush, a good distance from the highway in rural Winnemucca. Investigators would like to make a plea to anyone -- specifically long-haul truck drivers -- who may have driven on I-80 between Wells and Winnemucca, and saw Patrick and Lucky. Detectives believe a trucker might have seen what happened to Patrick and Lucky, but no one has come forward as of yet. "Some trucker saw an old man with a dog," Humboldt County Undersheriff Curtiss Kull said. Consequently, investigators would like to make a plea to anyone -- specifically long-haul truck drivers -- who may have driven on I-80 between Wells and Winnemucca, and saw Patrick and Lucky between the late evening hours of April 13 through the early morning hours of April 14. If you know anything about the bizarre disappearance of Patrick Carnes, or his best friend, Lucky, you've got to call our toll-free Hotline right away at 1-800-CRIME-TV. (by America's Most Wanted)

On November 10, 1985 a hunter discovered the remains of an adult white female and a female child inside a 55 gallon metal drum in woods located in the Bear Brook Garden Trailer Park near 22 Edgewood Drive in Allenstown, NH.
On May 9, 2000 two more victims were found in the same vicinity. These victims were also in a metal drum. The third victim was a white female child and the fourth victim was also a white female child. Two children are maternally related to the adult female , but she is NOT their mother. The 4th victim (child) is unrelated to all.
For now, little information has been drawn from the remains. Forensic analysts have determined that the woman was between 23 and 32 years old. She had curly, light-brown hair and, like the children, was either white or Native American. She was about 5-foot-5.
The child found with her was a girl between 5 and 10 years old. The girl stood about 4-foot-3 and had light-brown hair and ears pierced twice.
The second pair of bodies were those of two children who appear to be younger. Investigators believe they are female, but the children were too young to know for sure.
"You can't get sex from skeletal morphology when they're that young," said Kim Fallon, a forensic investigator at the state medical examiner's office. "They have traits that suggest they're female, but that's not definite."
It is believed that the victims were killed sometime between 1977-1985. The deaths have all been ruled homicides, but the specific cause of death has not been released publicly.
One of those children was between 4 and 8 years old and stood about 3-foot-8. She had light-brown hair and a noticeable overbite. The other child was between 1 and 3 years old. She stood about 2-foot-5 and had long, blond hair.
The initial DNA tests showed that the woman could be the mother of the child found with her and of the youngest child. Investigators said she is not the mother of the child who was between 4 and 8 years old.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has produced images from the bone structure of the woman and the two children who might be hers. There are different theories about how four people could have disappeared as long as 30 years ago without ever being identified. The woman could have been a teenager who left home and had children without her family knowing, Fallon said. Other possibilities exist that she and the children could be from the West Coast and brought here by a long-haul trucker, or possibly came here from Canada.
Cynthia Caron, President and Founder of LostNMissing Inc and NH Victim Advocate for NamUs, "There are so many possibilities that we ask that no stone go unturned." said Caron. "This is why it is important that all missing loved ones be entered into NamUs, the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, so that unsolved and unidentified earthly bodies can have their names." Caron reports. The website for NamUs is www.namus.gov .
Investigators ask that anyone with information contact Detective John Sonia or Lt. James White of the State Police Major Crime Unit at (603) 271-2663.

It is with sadness to report the earthly body of Mr. Paul Barnet, 54, has been located. Our prayers for his family, friends, and all who love and will miss him. An off-duty state police officer located the body of a missing Barnstead man Wednesday, according to police. The body of Paul Barnet, 54, was located between 4:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Peacham Trail in Barnstead, said authorities. Police said they were still investigating the circumstances around Barnet's death as of Wednesday evening. Barnstead police responded to the report of Barnet's disappearance on Dec. 13. Family members told police they hadn't seen or heard from him since Dec. 6, and neighbors last reported seeing him doing yardwork on Dec. 10.
Paul Barnet, 54, a Rochester, NH police officer from 1989 to 1996, has been missing for over a week after last seen in his yard by neighbors on Monday, Dec. 12, 2011. Since he was reported missing, officers have checked Barnet’s residence, property and neighborhood, but have so far been unable to locate the missing man. Friday’s search included Barnstead police, State Police K9 units, and a number of officers from the state Fish and Game, McDowell said. The group split up into teams of two, and with Barnet’s home as the epicenter, spanned out in all directions, performing a grid search from 8 a.m. until about 7 p.m. included wooded areas nearby and a number of snowmobile trails. While the land around Locke Lake has been searched, police currently have no information that would encourage them to search the lake itself.
Last week, Barnet’s ex-wife Ruthanne Barnet, of Alton, said she is concerned foul play might be involved, and has been worrying and trying to gather any information she can on her ex-husband and where he might be. Barnet, she said, would never just walk away from his family, particularly his two daughters, Hannah and Haley, one of whom graduated from the University of Rhode Island Saturday. “He’s the greatest father anyone could ask for,” Ruthanne said Friday. “He’s always been there to be a father even though we didn’t get along. He’s a good guy. He’s supposed to be at my daughter’s graduation … He was so proud and looking forward to it.” Ruthanne said she last saw Barnet at Thanksgiving, and that nothing seemed out of the ordinary. And when she went to his house a few days ago to look around in hopes of finding some clue to his disappearance, nothing seemed wrong there either. “The house was fine, there was milk in the refrigerator and food, the cat was there, his bed was made,” she said.
Barnet’s daughter Hayley Barnet, of Alton, said in an email Tuesday that while neighbors say they saw her father on Dec. 12, he was also seen on Dec. 8, walking north on Route 20 in the breakdown lane at approximately 8:30 p.m. He was reportedly wearing jeans, a puffy winter jacket, a backpack and a CD player and using a walking stick, Hayley said, adding that family members believe that since these clothes were not found in his home, it is likely what Barnet is wearing. Hayley said that there is a lot of speculation as to what could have happened to her father, but it appears to her he left suddenly with the intention of returning shortly, since his keys and wallet were still at the house and his cats were without food and water when she visited the home on Dec. 13. “He wouldn’t let them be deprived for a week, let alone a day,” Hayley said Tuesday. “We’ve called every number in his contact book and no one has seen or talked to him recently. We fear something may have happened while he was out walking.” The family plans to continually search and ask the public to please help by looking at anyone closely who may be Mr. Barnet. Please keep him in sight and contact authorities.
Anyone with information regarding Barnet’s whereabouts is asked to call the Barnstead Police Department at (603) 269-4281,or your local police.

Justin Brian Hall, 40 is missing. He has been missing since Sept. 7, 2011 while house-sitting at a residence on Leupp Road near milepost 442, just west of the Navajo Reservation, in Coconino, Arizona, when he disappeared. His vehicle and personal belongings were still at the house. However, a search of the surrounding area did not turn up any evidence of his whereabouts. Justin is an experienced outdoors man, hiker and rock climber. He usually wears shorts or jeans and hiking boots. Justin is very intelligent and has many skills. He is somewhat introverted so he may not initiate social conversations and is not known to associate in “group type” social settings. He may possibly be trying to “live off the land” solo.

Marvin Gabrion convicted of murdering baby Shannon's mother. Where is baby Shannon? Details: In 1996 in Cedar Springs, Michigan, Marvin Charles Gabrion raped Rachel Timmermann. Rachel planned to testify against Gabrion in the summer of 1997, but on June 3, 1997, Rachel and her infant daughter, Shannon, were picked up by an unidentified man and disappeared. On July 5, Rachel was found brutually raped and murdered in Oxford Lake. Police believed that Gabrion murdered Rachel in a ill-concieved attempt to keep her from testifying against him in his criminal activities. Gabrion was soon tied to the disappearances of three men. Wayne Davis, a friend of Marvin who was with him on the night he raped Rachel, vanished sometime during 1997.John Weeks, a friend of Rachel's who was later identified as the person that picked her and Baby Shannon, Rachel's daughter vanished in June of 1997. Robert Allen, a transient from Grand Rapids whose identity was being used by Gabrion, vanished sometime during 1997. None of these people have been located and Gabrion has been convicted for Rachel's murder. Families baffled by Gabrion decision Want to see him on death row Updated: Wednesday, 03 Aug 2011, 6:35 PM EDT Click to read entire article. "I believe Mr. Gabrion should be put to death because of what he did to my daughter, Rachel," her father, Tim Timmerman told 24 Hour News 8 on Wednesday. "He put her in handcuffs and chains, he chained cement blocks to her. He wrapped her entire head in duct tape. He put her on a boat and drug her out into the middle of Oxford Lake and then he threw her in."
Rachel, 19, was alive when she went under.
"If that doesn't deserve the death penalty," he asked, "what does?"
"I don't care" if he's put to death, Verhage said. "I really don't care." But she wants him on death row.
Though Michigan does not have the death penalty , the lake is on federal land -- and that's how Gabrion came to receive a death sentence once he was convicted of the crime.
Police searched the same lake for Shannon, believing Gabrion dumped her there with her mom, but some still hold out hope she's alive.
"I loved my granddaughter. I watched her take some of her first steps. She told me hi," he said.
Tim Timmerman co-wrote The Color of Night about the case, which is the best seller in Kim Verhage's Reading Book Store in Rockford. He was shocked when 24 Hour News 8 told him an appeals court had overturned the death penalty for Gabrion.
"I was afraid it was going to be for him punching his lawyer. I thought that's why he was g oing to get off, not because of Judge (Robert Holmes) Bell making a mistake," he said. "I never would have guessed that.'
The apparent mistake was that Judge Bell failed to tell the federal jury that Gabrion couldn't get the death penalty if this were a state case.
"It seems to me that they're overthinking it, doesn't it? Aren't they overthinking it? The jury decided. The jury is the only one capable of giving the death penalty; it wasn't the judge; it wasn't an appeals court judge. It was the jury."
Kim Verhage is certain Gabrion is gloating in prison.
