Shari Christine Saunders, 70, left Norfolk, Virginia in the summer of 2018 to visit family in Monroeville, Alabama. On August 5 she was last seen after stopping for gas in Evergreen, Alabama; her red Toyota Corolla was found abandoned on August 13 on a dirt road in Conecuh County with the front passenger window broken, the car stuck in mud and several personal items missing, including two suitcases, her cell phone, a tablet and a GPS.

Searches by sheriff’s offices in three counties turned up nothing until skeletal remains were located on December 26, 2020 in a wooded area off a private road in Escambia County near where the car had been found. Forensic testing in April 2021 confirmed the remains were those of Shari Saunders. Authorities are treating the death as a homicide and say they are focusing on particular suspects, though no arrests have been announced.

Does anyone have information about Shari’s travel route or who she may have encountered in that area in August 2018?
