Missing: Shannon Marie Sherrill

June 22, 2019 By Alice

UPDATE: I spoke to Chief Frank Clark from the Thorntown Police Department. He corrected the area code in the contact information. He also assured me that Shannon’s is an active case. It is still being investigated. All tips are checked and added to Shannon’s file. Her case number is 86-143. If you have any information […]

I am a true crime writer raising awareness for old unsolved cases from the pre-DNA era that are in need of renewed media attention. I do not actively investigate these cases. I leave that to the professionals.

My posts are about homicides, missing and unidentified people, wrongful convictions, and forensics as related to old cases.

I review books but only select works of true crime, crime fiction, and historical fiction and/or mysteries.

My database has more than 289 cases listed by the victim’s last name. You will find a brief description there as well.

All case suggestions that come in by email for writing considerations are added to my to-do list in the order in which they were received. Please be patient as my to-do list is very long.

If you have any questions about my website please check the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page, the about page, and the tabs in both menu bars. If you still cannot find the answer there, please contact me.

Thank you, Alice de Sturler
