Shannon Rena Green was 16 when she vanished from Owensboro, Kentucky on July 6, 1986. She left her home on West 2nd Street about 12:30 p.m., intending to walk roughly two miles to a friend’s house at 12th and Haynes Streets. Shannon never arrived and was last seen wearing black jogging shorts, an aqua-colored shirt, tennis shoes and a gold chain with a heart pendant. Distinguishing marks included red discoloration on the back of her neck and a light brown birthmark on the back of her right arm.

Her mother reported her missing the next day after Shannon had told her she would be picked up later that evening. Five days later an 18-year-old acquaintance, David DeWayne Bell, also disappeared; he and Shannon had been together at a mutual friend’s home the day before Shannon vanished, and police treated the cases as linked. A later phone call to Shannon’s mother from a man identifying himself as Dwayne, saying Shannon had run away to be married, is now regarded as a probable hoax.

Early investigation focused on John Reneer, a convicted felon and friend of the Bell family; Shannon had said she was going to babysit at his home the day she left.

Does anyone who knew Shannon, DeWayne Bell, or the neighborhood in Owensboro in 1986 have information that could help resolve this case?
