Authorities are still searching for a missing pregnant 20-year-old who hasn't been seen since December.

Candice, where are you? I haven't forgotten you or your baby. My prayers that you are found safe! Searched for any new info but found nothing. She has simply vanished. So strange. We need answers for her and her baby! lease:

Her facebook page is a good source of information for what was going on in her life in the five days leading up to her disappearance.

Look at the links to the two songs she shared, read the written lyrics. I think she identifies with them and is expressing what she is feeling. Her Mom said (Roth Radio Show) JT was offered a job in another city. Candice and he agreed he should move and take it. That was the point when she moved in with her Grandparents.

On December 9th, Candice posts " ive never been spy in my life". I wonder what that means? Is someone saying she is spying on someone and she is responding to that accusation?

December 10th, she posts about needing a car, asking if anyone knows of one to text or message her, she needs some help. And her last and final post is ... idk wat to do anymore.

The way the investigation is being conducted baffles me. It seems clear that Candice's cell phone, computer/facebook account may hold the key to her disappearance.

Maybe she meant shy instead of spy. Also I am curious who would wear tennis shoes with their pajamas unless they were planning to go outside????

Five months since Candice went missing and it seems like no one is really looking for her with any sense of urgency. Sad ...

This case is not cold - It took about 16 months for Shonda to be found. People are still looking; hanging flyers and posters and while we may not hear much at times about these cases law enforcement is not going to report on their investigation until appropriate. Please continue to spread the word!!

Bumping For Candice. I was reading the blog her boyfriend has moved on for a 2nd time since she has disappeared. Terrible.

Bumping for Candice. The boyfriend seems to be getting on just fine with his new girlfriend .

He does, doesn't he? Candice seems absolutely air-brushed from his history and his life. And I haven't seen anything public regarding progress on this case at all, although I hope that the investigation is picking up.

Mama, MQ, has posted two videos on her FB page (can't link from my iPhone, she's listed on Candice's) and is still fervently looking for her daughter. It's so quiet.

The first video was very touching with her dad frozen in front of the TV

However, several people have gone missing from the area in the last year, including Lubbock teen Mark Ysasaga, 82-year-old Charlie Strawn from Richardson, and pregnant mom Candice Shields from nearby Graham. Shields’ boyfriend at the time of her disappearance lives in Sweetwater, and MPN received several inquiries last night from advocates working her case about the discovery.

An update tonight on the investigation of the body found in Sweetwater yesterday. Residents claim they saw authorities searching a vacant truck that belonged to a man often seen in the area. Folks in that area say they haven't seen that man in some time.

"We don't know where he's at, where he's been, and now with this body, we're just hoping it's not him," says Johnny De Los Santos, an employee at B-Line Lube.

However, speculation only increased when De Los Santos says authorities were out investigating the vehicle early this morning.

Found this update, so I guess these remains are probably not Candice or Hailey Dunn.

Confirmed that the remains are those of an adult male. RIP.

Candice remains missing. The only hint of encouragement here is that MPN received inquiries working her case following the discovery of the remains which suggests that a) they are still actively working the case on some level and that b) they have moved beyond regarding her case as that of a runaway.

I wouldn't call a couple of these places mentioned being in the same area. Graham is in northeast Tx. and Richardson is more or less a suburb of Ft. Worth, not that close to the other towns. Lubbock, Sweetwater and Colorado City are fairly close together but I wouldn't say Graham is "near" that area at all, it is hours away, to the best of my memory. Closer to Wichita Falls, not that far from the OK border.

I believe that is Charlie Richardson from Strawn TX. Strawn is a small town on I-20 between Ranger and Weatherford.

I believed the remains could have been Candice, Charlie, Mark or less likely Hailey. Even though these people are far apart geographically....the common denominator here is I-20. A lot of people traveling anywhere around Northern Texas would frequent I-20.

I still think the remains found in Big Spring could very easily be Charlie Richardson. I think I remember reading about him and he did not have any next-of-kin. I may be wrong there, but if that is the case, DNA may not be possible to obtain. As for the body found in Sweetwater, we know it is an adult male, which probably rules out Mark. I'm not sure if it has been posted on this thread, but there was a homeless man living out of his truck very close to the place where this body was found. He has not been seen in a couple of months, but his truck is still where he was living in a parking lot. I think it is a good possibility the body in Sweetwater is this homeless man.

Just my thought here. Still looking for Hailey all the time.

:bump: Bumping for Candice! Haven't forgotten you. Where are you?

 

[dillysmom11]

I think about her often.

Well, they sure messed that up, didn't they? Strawn is actually several miles off I-20, I've traveled that route many times. My dad bought a car in Strawn many years ago, it's not too far from Ranger. Graham is about an hour north or northeast of Ranger. I lived in that area when I was in high school.
