Found Deceased Canada - Shannon Burgess, 25, Calgary, 26 Nov 2014 - #2 *Arrest*

I agree and the regular posts on her blog as a teaching tool is the perfect idea!

Thinking of SM.



"Police said there was no history of domestic abuse between the two". <snip>

"We never ran out of things to talk about and we liked so many of the same things," she wrote.

"We love guns, love log cabins, we are both affectionate and caring and he honestly told me he loved me and how beautiful I was every single day and more than once a day.

"It was amazing. But like any real life story, there is always that part of "real life" that you need to deal with."

There are two new pics put up on "Shannon Madill's" Facebook page in December, 2014. How did they get there I wonder? I may be late with this comment, just catching up with the thread.

I'm not seeing what you're seeing...?

"We love guns....?"

Oops! My mistake. This Shannon Madill is from Boston. Sorry!

Thought that's who you were talking about. Different person, similar appearance though obviously younger =)

The only thing about the blog is that for someone who claims to be a life-coach she has not respected the privacy of the people she talks about. Sometimes she uses their initials, or first name. It is pretty easy to open up her friends list on FB and know exactly who she is talking about. Although she is not a professional or accredited I find her posts unprofessional and breaking of privacy rules.

She has a pattern of relationships where she says all the wonderful things (the quote above) and in a very short period of time she has recognized too many problems and has to end the relationship. I am curious how her other ex-partners felt about her documenting their relationship and her version of the breakdown of the relationship.

I sure hope they have the right person in custody and that the autopsy can prove that the death was not self-inflicted.

It was the woman herself, apparently, that called police, before they arrived minutes later to find her dead. I wonder if she was also able to tell the operator who had done this to her? Also, it says the man was arrested the same day, I wonder if he had taken off or remained at the home? Does it say where he was arrested, was it at his own 'home'?
He sue doesn't *sound* like the type of guy who would do this.... it makes me wonder if something had happened beforehand to provoke rage in him.. but then he was charged with first degree murder, which suggests it was a planned event, as opposed to a sudden rage type of thing.
So sad.

It is still quite surprising that the family, friends, LE and the media, all seemed to become silent about Shannon's disappearance. imo.
If they suspected suicide or murder and wanted to find her body, you might expect a release of the clothing and other items like glasses, S might have on or near her.
Dare we hope that they have found out she is hiding all along and will not emerge until the " heat " is turned down?
What if S is in some kind of institution," safe home", or hospital- would that be kept quiet? imo.

I read about 7 of BW's blog posts and while I was amazed with how much I could really relate to what she shared (relationships, boundary issues, self-esteem and weight issues, etc), I was a little mortified that someone soon to be embarking on a career as a life coach would be disclosing so much personal info/struggles/history on a publicly accessible blog. Sometimes I think people share wayyyyyyyyyy too much online and if writing things down and expressing oneself is cathartic/therapeutic, do it on a private blog.....or better yet just do it on one's own computer, in MS Word, etc. Not sure easily this lady's blog was to find (I haven't even been able to find her FB profile) but seems possible her ?ex and his ex, etc.....found it and read it. Ugh.

bbm: I believe that is entirely possible

I am not sure that it was released that it was herself who called 911. I will have to check that. Also, IIRC I am sure the man was only arrested yesterday. I was thinking that possibly he could have been at the wrong place at the wrong time and she may have hurt herself and he could have been the one to call 911 and then he panicked and left. Or someone else had been to the house and did it. I am just curious of the events leading up to the night this occured. The man she was with for such a short time had no history of violence with her (not sure of others) and he was a family man with his ex and her children and grandchildren. He is a bouncer and they share a love of guns, that is disturbing. I just can't understand how he would risk his freedom over such a short romance. Time will tell once the autopsy is released and he enters a plea. Very sad situation.

Maybe we need a thread for this...

IIRC, wasn't he still married or involved elsewhere? I also heard that she was in fact the one who called 911 and named him as the assailant.

I found this article from the Sun. It says a woman made a frantic call. So yes, probably her. He was still involved with his ex and her family, which the victim blogs about. In the beginning she writes about how healthy the situation was with the ex-girlfriend (she was even friends with her) and months later it had become too much for her and she ends the relationship.

I would be curious if she named him by name and clearly stated he attacked her or if she said it was her ex- boyfriend.. Without the name... Just in case...

Sadly, it seems when there are other parties involved in a relationship, it complicates it exponentially. She may have threatened his livelihood or family situation with promises of spilling damaging information... There also may have been alcohol or drugs involved. Often it is the kind gentle types that harbour the darkest demons and can inflict the most violence.

Yes please! I vote for a thread. Sounds intriguing and enough interest so we don't get this case confused with Shannon's.

Too late!!
Confuzzled here.

I started a thread, perhaps the mods can still move the posts over there though? Let's take it over there so as to not confuse SB's thread?

I haven't posted for a while as I have ran out of ideas with respect to this. The media silence and silence from the family has certainly been curious. Does anyone out there think she is still.alive? I have also read a comment online that she was an occasional guest at a Calgary Swinging club. Has anyone heard or read similar claims?

Missed your posts!
Have not come across any " swinging" reference, but it would not surprise me.
Those types of things give reason, imo, to think she might not be alive, but also, gives hope that Shannon is alive, imo.
