May you rest in peace, Shannan.
Given what we know about her and her behaviour specifically that night, it would appear that she went on an outcall, was probably doing drugs and likely too much. Hence the wierd behaviour reported by her client and the guy at the house she ran to, and the 20 minute 911 call from within the house. It looks like she did too much of whatever she was on, went psychotic and eventually died from being OD after first running through the subdivision and then into the swamp. If you look at the pictures posted earlier showing the locations of where she was sighted and where her stuff and body were found, you can see the approximate route she would have taken.
We will see when they determine the cause of death.
It seems pretty unlikely that her client would be the person responsible for all these deaths, since it was an outcall to his home and obviously both her security would have known where she was. That seems like far too much risk to me, but you never know. In any case we know that she was out and running through the woods after leaving his house, he would not have been able to find her in the dark like that, so I don't think it is him.
At first glance it would seem that it was just coincidence that it happened to take place close to the location of one or more serial killers dumping ground.
When I heard just now that the remains were identified as Shannan's, I felt sad. But now I feel really angry. I haven't felt angry about this in this way before. I'm really pissed. This shouldn't have happened. I think Shannan's disappearance was mishandled and not taken seriously from day one, and it's outrageous. If it turns out that Shannan has been there all along - regardless of whether or not she was the victim of the SK - that's SHAMEFUL. How in hell could she be there all this time and they didn't find her? That's not okay, and it's not okay that the tape at the gate was allowed to tape over or went missing or whatever. While it's not fair that innocent people who live in that area have to suffer, nonetheless, somethings smells a little in that community, and that pisses me off too. And I think more could have been done the night she went running down the street, too. I swear if someone came to my door freaking out like that, I'd get a bat and run out on the street myself. (I heard recently about a woman who saved another woman from a rapist by running out on the street in her pajamas after hearing her screams!)
This whole thing stinks and that is partly why, I think, so many people are obsessed with it. LE had better not screw up anymore, and I hope they learn a lesson from this too. And if it ends up that her death really wasn't the result of anything nefarious, they're still remiss, as far as I'm concerned.
As for the SK, he'd better hope some vigilante doesn't find out his identity and come after him. I bet I'm not the only one who's furious and sick of this crap happening to women. (I'm not advocating vigilantism - I hope he's brought to justice and has to face what he's done in court, but I wouldn't cry if he something did happen to him!)
(Sorry, I hope it's okay for me to vent in this manner!)
What if the cause of death is drowning? Where do we go from there? That means the sk wasn't involved with Shannon, yet 10 bodies found in the search for her. He's quite elusive and I'm afraid that the case is going to go cold--unless, unfortunately, there is another victim or better yet, a victim actually gets away from him.
I think the best bet is to try and fish him out through those who obliviously know him.
