Thanks for the reminder! I e-mailed Dr. Craig, today, she responded that, although Shuttleworths missing info states that DNA is available, it has not been entered into either databases, so unable to rule that way. A request has been made as to dental charts, none received as of yet! Dr. Craig also stated that she would enter result on NamUs, if Shuttleworth was excluded....
Hurry up and wait.....
P.S. I have not received any response from Aiken County Sheriff, since March!
 
Today is the 6th anniversary of Lisas disappearance!
I am praying for her loved ones, that they receive some resolution before the end of this year! That God allows them peace and the knowledge of the circumstances and gives them strength and patience in seeing justice served for Lisa. Also, that God gives direction to all the Detectives (sleuthers) involved.
 
Aiken County woman still missing after 10 years

In the 10 years since her disappearance, Shuttleworth's family said prayer has helped get them from day to day. Mabrey and her husband received custody of Shuttleworth's children and raised them. Each year on her birthday, they go to the Augusta Riverwalk and release balloons with messages to her written on them. They've found some comfort getting involved in nonprofit organizations whose aim is to find missing people.

Krystina, who is now six months pregnant with Shuttleworth's granddaughter, said she tried for a while to “pause” her life while her mother has been missing.

“You can't,” she said. “You can't just hit pause and hit play when you want to – it doesn't work like that.”

34-year-old Lisa Shuttleworth was last seen on September 3, 2003, at her Aiken, South Carolina home. Lisa's son, Ryan, who was 9 years old at the time, told Dateline that his mother was supposed to pick him up from the bus stop that day but never showed up. He said he then walked to his house and his mother’s car was in the driveway but the door to the house was locked. Ryan told Dateline he then went across the street to play at his friend's house and wait for his mother to arrive home. While waiting, Ryan said he noticed a friend of his mother's show up at the house looking for her. The friend took Ryan to his grandparents’ house a few blocks away. Lisa's parents eventually got into her house where everything seemed normal. The only thing missing was Lisa's purse. Two days later, on September 5, Lisa's parents reported her missing. Captain Eric Abdullah with the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office told Dateline that there’s nothing in Lisa’s missing persons report that indicates foul play. Ryan, however, told Dateline that he knows something bad happened to his mother and he will never stop fighting for answers. Lisa is 5’3”, with brown hair and blue eyes. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office at 803-642-1761.
 
“Twenty years doesn’t make it any easier,” said Lisa’s daughter, Krystina Shuttleworth.

In 2003, Lisa Marie Shuttleworth, a mother of two children, disappeared without a trace. Since then, her family and friends have wanted some form of closure. The family hasn’t gotten any answers, and police don’t have any new information on the case.

“I am aggravated that nothing has been done,” Krystina said.

Lisa was first reported missing by her mother Lorraine Mabrey on Sept. 5, 2003. She had not been seen or heard from since Sept. 4, 2003, according to an incident report from the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office.

Mabrey stated the last person Lisa spoke with was her daughter Krystina, who was 14 years old at the time, on the phone, the report said.

The report said Lisa was at her residence on Miller Street in Beech Island and she was supposed to pick up her son Ryan Shuttleworth from his bus stop around 3:30 p.m. but she never showed up.

Ryan began to walk to his house when a neighbor drove by and took Ryan home, the report said.

The neighbor waited for Lisa to come home, but she never showed up; Mabrey advised police that up until the time of the initial report, Lisa had not contacted her regarding her children, the report said.

Mabrey told police her daughter had never left the children before, has no history of drug use or not coming home on schedule and wasn’t in a relationship; she had also contacted all the medical hospitals, the report said.

“We knew that we wanted to eventually live in these homes, mine across from hers, and raise our families across the street from each other,” Groomes said.

he Midland Valley High School graduate began working after school and immediately started a family, one that her friend recalls came with challenges.

“Wasn’t a good relationship. He was violent,” Groomes remembered of the situation. “So that took her away from a lot of what we had had. And then we started fighting back. And we got her out.

“She’d tell me supper was ready and she would make a cute little thing with the chicken nuggets or the fish sticks and make a smile and just,” Lisa’s daughter Krystina Shuttleworth told Cold Case Project.
