Shannon Elizabeth Merry, 33, was last heard from on Easter Sunday, March 31, 2013, while in Ronkonkoma, New York. That final contact was a phone call with her mother that ended in a disagreement; afterward Shannon stopped answering calls and texts and went silent on social media. Her mother was in North Carolina at the time and assumed Shannon needed space, which contributed to the disappearance not being reported to Suffolk County Police for seven years.

At the time she vanished Shannon was described as a white female, 5 feet 4 inches tall, about 140 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes. Distinctive tattoos included a New York Yankees symbol on her rib cage, a praying angel with names or initials on her hip, a scroll with her parents’ names on her lower back, and a shamrock with the word Merry on one thigh. She had ear and navel piercings and wore glasses or contact lenses.

In the months before she disappeared Shannon reportedly struggled with substance abuse and had an unstable living situation, moving between friends’ homes. A January 2013 warrant for Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument related to an alleged attempt to fill a forged prescription is also noted. A search of the Deer Road residence where she was last seen included cadaver dogs but produced no results.

Does anyone who knew Shannon or saw her in Ronkonkoma around late March 2013 have information that could help clarify what happened after that last phone call?
