GUILTY VA - Shannon Gore charged in death of infant, child abuse, Hayes, 2011

Bumping to keep this on the front page...

I don't know the answer to that, but I can tell you that it appears that Shannon has only lived in 2 different towns, in her lifetime, at least under her own name. Of course, she may have lived in more places, or been living with a roomate, but
These are the 2 locations I keep finding. (Source: Intelius)

name . Name/Aliases: Has lived :
Shannon N Gore Wicomico, VA
Shannon N Smith (maiden name) Hayes, VA

That's not two different towns, not really... its like 2 different zipcodes of same county... county is comprised of many little areas that have local names and undefined borders. The distance between "hayes" and "wicomico" would not even be measurable. Its one of those things, I could tell you what ISN'T considered part of "Hayes" but I would be pretty hard pressed to show you all of what is... and I was born and raised there.



Questions I would have? maybe Jinxy can help...

How many years was that particular trailer on that particular lot? Who, if anyone, ever lived in it, at that location, before Brian and Shannon Gore?

And, while I'm asking questions... if there was another (different) trailer there at some point, was the shed there, then?


Here's what I am wondering...

Could S and B Gore have been a on/off again couple since high school? Could desceased baby boy have been the result of hidden teen pregnancy? One that B.Gore buried under the shed of the trailer where his family (or some other relative) lived at that time?

ok.. so fast forward a few years.... S Gore gets pg again (by B Gore, even though they are not married, possibly not even living together) hides it again out of??? shame? result of trauma of teen experience? Some sort of weird guilt problem? Then attempts to raise baby in secret but baby has health issues...she can't handle it/pay for expenses/ etc.. starts abusing child whom she has not bonded with and feels is unable to bond with her? Brian (who is not really a fine upstanding guy, by no means a "catch" of a husband, more like a overgrown teenage screw up) returns on the scene... marries her, sets up Shannon and "severely disabled" baby girl in trailer (now vacant? but still owned by family?) They finally get to play house, S gets her guy and eventually a new baby.. one that she IS allowed to show off and to love... but they can't tell anyone about the other babies.. how would you explain that? Their families think that finally they have "settled down" and love it when S and B bring the baby boy over for a visit.. which they probably do a LOT to avoid the grands from ever coming to their house. That would not be hard to do while baby boy is still little.

Its MOO.. but I think that's going to be their story.

Also.. I think the "worst stuff" that B was trying to jettison was either 1. proof of how long baby girl was being kept in a cage, b/c his story is that it was only for a relatively short while, so that her condition serves more to show why they felt it was acceptable to keep her that way (even typing that felt wrong to me) instead of being considered the results of their actions and/or 2. proof of some other illegal activities of his own that likely has nothing to do with the kids but that could get him in even more trouble.

I've not heard that the deceased was in fact a "baby."
It wasn't described as a body of an infant but a body of a child.
And by the way her lawyer claimed just the opposite, that she was supposedly taking good care of that girl eventually found in a cage, but something has changed recently.

Could deceased baby boy have been

We do know for sure if the deceased child is a boy. Jinxy talked to someone who seemed to know inside info. Seemed. For all we know the source could have pulled their info out of their arse. (No offense Jinxy.) It has not been confirmed by authorities, and in fact it was reported that it may not be possible to tell the sex of the remains.

 

[LivingWrite]

For what it's worth, I cannot imagine Brian's parents really had no idea what was going on. The father (John Wayne Gore) lived around the corner. Here's a google map link that shows the location of the two houses (I hope this works):
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1962+...code_result&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CCEQ8gEwAA

I got the address of the father from the name on the marriage license. I've got to say, if my kid lived around the corner AND just had a baby you can bet I'd be over there. It would appear from news reports that the baby is in foster care, meaning they did not place the child with the grandparents. Usually social services works hard to place children with a relative, so I have to wonder about this whole entire family... again, just my opinion.

 

[HaikuMommy]

In the past, I was living in a small place (about the size of a trailer). My family is nearby and fairly large, but they didn't come to visit at my home. This is because every week or two it was someone's birthday, or anniversary, or a holiday -- and we would just tend to meet at my brother's larger house or at a restaurant so everyone could fit comfortably. Even when people wanted to see our new baby, we would go see them instead of them coming to see us. It's not THAT unusual... especially since BG's dad was 26 miles/40 minutes away by that map. Some of my family lived 10 minutes away and yet never came to my place. If the extended family DID know that would be horrible, they would be responsible too.

 

[buffetoflies]

The father (John Wayne Gore)...

I read that as John Wayne Gacy at first. What?!?!? We all know what he did, and minus the gay adolescent thing... holy similar batman.

(JWG buried bodies in his crawlspace and around his property in case you didn't know).

No offense taken all all-this was indeed hearsay information that the deceased child was a boy, but not mentioned to be a baby.

As far as I can tell you-I've lived in this particular spot here since 2003 and that trailer has always been there. I do not think the shed was there when we moved our home here but I couldn't tell you when it was placed. I looked at google maps and in it I can see my son's car parked that he had his senior year in HS so the shed has been here at least since 2007-2008. 2007 is reported by police as to when the death was to have occurred, so I almost wonder if it was a two-fold thing-body and stuff storage? I just dont know.

I have yet to go over to the manager's place and ask about the flowers, much less anything else....

The latest on the case http://www.fox43tv.com/dpps/news/local/mother-not-home-when-child-died_3813369

"Mr. Gore stated that when the child was approximately seven months old and in his care, he began to have breathing difficulties. Mr. Gore did not summon medical attention, thus resulting in the child's death."

There is much more in the link.

No matter what, there is no excuse for the neglect their little girl suffered even though they are trying to say the reason is the other child dying JMO

I guess I just assumed that when someone has a baby the family goes there, but I can see how it would be different (like in your case). BTW, the actual drive time house to house would only be about 15 minutes, making me think someone would pop in. Still can't imagine this nimwit got pregnant twice & nobody in her family noticed.

Ok, if this is true as stated in the article, that Brian Gore did not summon medical attention, uhm......why the heck not?????

IT may be true, but one would think that if that traumatized SG, it seems more likely that she would overprotect child #2, rather than neglect her. JMHO, of course.

 

[jjenny]

I am not sure how much of the father's story is believable anyway, considering he apparently claimed that little girl was 2, while police claims she is 6. By the way that "something triggered" in SG for some amazing reason only led her to allegedly abuse the little girl, while the new infant apparently was proudly displayed and not abused.

It doesn't make sense, does it? It bothers me that Wavy hasn't posted the document they allegedly found, so we can see exactly what BG said (and yes, we know he lies, or has a really, really bad memory). It seems that the only statements that are making the media are the ones from Shannon G's attorney. And of course he has to be looking at a defense that may work for justifying her behavior, so I kind of take his statements with a grain of salt.
Even if she was traumatized, or had some kind of PTSD, We know she's not an angel, not only due to the abuse of her kids, but also from the burglary/sale of the gold buillion, trying to escape from LE when crawling up into the ceiling tiles at the hospital, and telling no one about 2 of the 3 children.

I wish LE would give us something, a statement or something, anything.

One more thing, B & Shannon were living together before they were married. wouldn't the grandparents pretty much know they were sleeping together too, thus the possibility of pregnancy was there. I'm just not buying all this. Anyone else wondering about the truthfulness of this?

 

[jjenny]

I find the idea that she hid them because she was not married hard to believe as well. Has it ever occurred to these two that it might be much easier to get married than be hiding two children anyway? I hope they throw a book at those two, despite all these excuses from her lawyer.

 

[buffetoflies]

Ok. It's now been confirmed. The deceased child was in fact male.

IMO shannon should be charged as an accessory to the murder for not turning BG in when the child supposedly stopped breathing. She helped him cover it up ffs. Along with child neglect charges for sunny.

She had no one to go to because of the lies she was leading because there was no child," said Smith.

I don't see much any illegal about the two undocumented births, so what if someone found out the two 'lies'. Was it really worth the life of her son?

Makes no gd sense.

So my understanding of what the attorney is saying is that SG and BG had two children, a little boy and an older little girl. And that they were happy and well cared for til the little boy died. Even though no one knew they existed, because she wasn't married.

And that one day the little boy died of natural causes. And BG didn't call anybody for some reason. And that she was so traumatized by that, that she was unable to care for the older little girl and put her into the crib.

And that lasted until she had the new little boy. And that magically she was able to care for that child, take him to dr., take pics, care for him. And still was unable to care for the older girl??? Is this right? Is this really the story he wants to go with?

Sure looks to me like an accurate summary of what defense attorney is claiming here.

 

[claudicici]

yeah,that doesn't make any sense at all...also SG was supposed to be close to her parents,with both parents being that close and his parents owning the trailer I don't believe for one minute they could keep their parents away for all these years.Something completely odd is going on and the parents must have known IMO....maybe the parents "made" them hide the pregnancies,children? How strict is their religion? Does anyone know about the church they were going to? Was birth control/abortion not an option?
In no way do I believe the 7 month old all of a sudden had "breathing problems" IMO the dad got upset,could not deal with him...SG seems like the type that could be "i do anything to stand by my man" IMO...but she also has that sadistic sort of look in her pictures,IMO,.....BG makes it clear on his myspace why he likes his wife IMO ..."isn't she hot?"...so I don't know,I feel like some twisted way of thinking was passed down from generation to generation...I wished we would know more because at this point I don't believe anything that is being said ....

 

[jjenny]

Why in the world would the parents force them to hide the pregnancies?
Didn't anyone ever hear of a "shotgun wedding?"
Why didn't the two of them just got married when she got pregnant before the bonds of matrimony?

I have a few wild theories

1. Shannon is an abducted child
2. Brian is not the father ,the children are a result of incest.


Someone didnt want to get caught for something. Or they planned to murder the children from the moment they knew they were coming into the world.

People just dont hide children for absolutely no reason. If children out of wedlock. I mean hiding the kids from the public isnt the same as hiding from god.
