Shannon Nicole Paulk, an 11-year-old Caucasian girl, disappeared from the Candlestick Mobile Home Park in Prattville, Alabama on August 16, 2001. She had been playing in the neighborhood that morning while her mother was at work and was last seen that day; her family reported her missing when she did not return that afternoon.A search by neighbors and organized volunteers continued for weeks. On October 6, 2001 rabbit hunters found Shannon’s remains in a remote wooded area of the Autauga County Wildlife Management Area about ten miles north of Prattville.

Her body was inside a black plastic bag and bound with rope, and investigators determined she had been murdered.Over the years law enforcement has pursued leads, circulated a composite sketch that was later discredited, convened a grand jury in 2017 to re-examine the case with newer forensic tools, and interviewed numerous people. No one has been charged and the case remains unsolved.

Does anyone who lived in the area in 2001 or who knew Shannon have information that could help bring answers?
