AR AR - Shannon Collins, military veteran, wife did not report him missing, Pottsville, 12 Mar 2021

[I am not Sherlock H.]

This case is so tragic, sad, and unfortunate. And I hope it gets traction and investigation and prosecuted.

For some reason I keep returning to the of service death payments and benefits. (Granted I have not been in the service and may not have this correct…….). Anyway here goes…..

I hope that the benefits the wife is supposedly receiving can be investigated fully. And perhaps his family (or estate?) could seek to have him declared dead? Would that affect the monies available and payment terms. And if so, that just might ‘upset the apple cart’ and trigger some action or revelation?

Thank you again for your service Sergeant Collins! MOO

Found the Indictment very interesting -- Feds have obviously been at work on this in great detail, finding several specifics to charge fraud, lying to govt., etc.

Any thoughts on why they only refer to 2021 for fraud? Did the payments stop then?

Seems they are only asking for return of the money - aren't the defendants subject to serving time if found guilty?

This is obviously from the VA -- anything going on with FBI or others?

Police previously confirmed they believe Shannon to be dead, with an indictment filed in the Eastern District of Arkansas also stating the former US Army officer was 'deceased'.

Court filings accuse Treasa of contacting AT&T in an attempt to access Shannon's phone the day after he vanished.

She then purchased a new phone with cash two days after her husband allegedly walked away from their home, sending messages pretending to be Shannon.

The indictment states she sent another message to her own phone, purporting to be Shannon, saying he had not needed to access the joint accounts and 'trusted' her to 'spend wisely'.

The message went on to say that he would be leaving in July, and would leave his money in their joint account, but would 'keep all the contract money' so they would 'both be okay.'

Yes, the payments were stopped shortly after the police became involved (9-11 months after his determined date of disappearance).

I've looked up the penalty range, mitigating circumstances will be determined by judge, a fine to 20 years incarceration per count.

Local police have yet to relinquish jurisdiction to my knowledge, regarding additional charges; they have allowed the state police to "look at" what they have.

Bumping for Shannon

 

[rob525]

The thing I find just unfathomable is that the son (his own son) and the daughter who, if my math is correct, had been a part of SCs life for a long time, could be involved in all of this and not have any remorse.
