Shannon J. Minshall, 45, was last seen by family at her Willow Springs, Missouri home on May 23, 2013 and was reported missing on May 31, 2013. She is described as a white female, 5 feet 5 inches tall, 130 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. Distinguishing marks include a large scar on her abdomen, a large scar on her left forearm, and several tattoos, including an Indian on her leg. When last seen she was believed to be wearing jeans, a t-shirt, and tennis shoes.
Shannon and her husband were living in a camper after their house burned, and she left without taking personal belongings, a detail family and investigators found unusual. The Texas County Sheriff’s Office described the disappearance as suspicious and has investigated tips, but no one has been publicly named as a suspect. Shannon’s husband has suggested a relative who was living in the camper could be involved, citing that person’s arrest record and history of drug use. The investigation remains open.
If anyone knew Shannon, saw her around Willow Springs in late May 2013, or has information about her whereabouts, please contact the Texas County Sheriff’s Office.
