It's very possible Shadow's charges are true, since they made it all the way to court. And based on the way her behavior seemed to be escalating, it's even possible she was planning to sneak around a bit and she found herself in a situation that caused her own accidental death (or she got caught sneaking around and someone took the opportunity to disappear her).
Sadly, I tend to agree. She is facing multiple charges -"She has open court cases on the charges of stalking, criminal impersonation and contempt of court." (source:
http://www.theleafchronicle.com/sto...ing-missing-fort-campbell-soldier/90002724/)-. Any or all of these charges could have been dismissed at any point if deemed baseless by LE/prosecutor.
Add to this (Thanks, Treelights, for bringing the Dateline article forward; I never noticed the following comment from Shadow's mom before):
"Shadow had been facing charges of stalking and contempt of court. Shadow's mother told Dateline the charges are in relation to her daughter's divorce.
'The situation is tumultuous, I'll say that,' London told Dateline. '
She's not totally innocent in all this, but it is not all her either. And she's been trying to clean herself from it. The people posting don't have all the facts, and are trying to paint my daughter as a villain.'" (BBM)

Also, about Shadow's brake lines being cut back in May, did Shadow file a report with the police at any point? Her mom has said no one knows who did it, so I assume that no arrest has been made (source:
http://wate.com/2016/09/15/mother-of-missing-soldier-says-daughter-wouldnt-just-go-away/). Or did Shadow simply decide not to bother as she laments in some of her FB posts that LE won't be believe anything she says anymore?
I have been researching Shadow's case this morning and have come across a couple of posts made to policebookingreports.com by someone claiming to be Shadow that I had never seen bofore. I am not going to put a link to the specific page within the site, as I am not sure if that is allowed (I don't think there really is a way to verify the poster's identity, even though personally, I have no reason to believe that the poster is not Shadow, based on what s/he says -it's virtually the same exact argument Shadow makes on her own FB page in reference to her arrests, only even more convoluted; basically, the poster explains "Shadow's" side of the story-).
Though I am taking what I found with a grain of salt,
if the comments were indeed left by Shadow, I am very, very concerned about her state of mind (somewhat in the similar vein as poor Taleka Patrick). Of course, the possibility still exists that this is all due to a "conspiracy" being perpetrated against Shadow by her ex and his girlfriend, and to a degree, LE, who may have been duped by them, and that in effect, Shadow is indeed being "gas-lighted."
I really, really hope that authorities have much more information than they are releasing as to Shadow's movements before her disappearance. Based on what we know so far, I am really stumped as to where she could possibly be, and she really needs to be found as soon as possible.
