On the afternoon of August 16, 2001, 11-year-old Shannon Paulk and her sister Lisa were at home in the Candlestick Mobile-Home Park in Prattville, Alabama. Shannon was a very friendly girl, she knew everyone in the neighborhood and played with most of the children there. It wasn't unusual for her to be gone hours at a time, but to come back home to eat and drink and go back out to play. This day though she would never come back home. When her mother returned home that evening Shannon didn't return home. They would report her missing at 9 p.m.
It was found that Shannon was last seen talking to an unknown man in a vehicle in the trailer park. It was believed at the time that this man had abducted the girl. It wasn't found out till the child who gave the description was an adult who said they made up the man in order to help with the investigation.
On October 6th Shannon's remains were found by two rabbit hunters in the woods just off Autauga County Rd 66 in Autauga County Wildlife Management. This was a public hunting area about 10 miles north of Prattville. Her body had been tied with a rope and wrapped up in a trash bag before being dumped.
