The person at the center of this case
Shanna Genelle Peoples (also known as Shanna McKee)
Justice for Shanna Genelle Peoples (also known as Shanna McKee) — the trail went cold in 2011, but the truth hasn't.
Start here
Why were the front door left open and television still on when Shanna was very routine about securing her home and turning off electronics before leaving?
What happened between Shanna's last known activity and 4:00 p.m. when her phone was turned off—did she turn it off herself or was it disabled by someone else?
Given Shanna's mental challenges and maturity level of a 13-year-old, could she have been targeted or exploited by someone she knew or encountered that day?
On September 8, 2011, 19-year-old Shanna Peoples disappeared from her residence in Geneva, Alabama under unusual circumstances—her front door was left open and television still on, contrary to her careful habits. Shanna is mentally challenged with the maturity level of a 13-year-old and depends on prescription medications for severe bipolar disorder; her cell phone was turned off around 4:00 p.m. that day. Despite being a routine person who regularly walked or biked between her home, her parents' house two blocks away, and a nearby store, she has never been found, and investigators need any information about her whereabouts or what happened that September afternoon.
