On July 18, 1991, 26-year-old Philip Shelton was reported missing by his father because no one had seen or talked to him for several days. He had been last seen in the Moutain Home, Alabama.  His car was located on an abandoned fire road off Alabama 33. The area the car was found was searched twice, but there were no signs of anything. 

In June of 2003 in a heavily wooded area a 1/2 mile from Alabama 33 a skull would be found. The area would be searched with dogs and an old tennis shoe was also found approximately 100 feet from the remains. It was determined to be Philip and believed he was murdered.
