Thank you

After reading that document, I am PISSED! I got the impression that the possible murder of a young woman was not important enough for law enforcement to pursue. It sounds like they had quite a bit of information. I can understand not involving Shelley’s case with this particular trial , I do not understand why it wasn’t investigated separately. I guess because she was [allegedly] dealing drugs and [allegedly] involved with the hell’s angels she wasn’t worth their time.

I am truly sorry. It's a heck of a way to find out.

I am truly sorry. It's a heck of a way to find out.

I’ve spent the past couple of hours reading several court documents that discuss Shelley’s probable murder by Charles Haas and yet NOTHING ……. I just don’t understand

Cold Case Files. We hear this terminology a lot these days. We hear about it on the news and on social media. There are thousands of true crime shows on TV and Podcasts. It all sounds so promising that our judicial system is truly interested in finding justice for all the victims and their loved ones. It’s clear that not all cases will be solved. What I want to know is, will all cases be addressed? I am afraid that not all cases will be given consideration. Who makes that determination and what are the criteria? Do they pass over cases that involve drug addicts, vagrants, prostitutes. Do they choose only those that are “human interests” or ones that will earn them a pat on the back? My cousin, Shelley Corinne Hoke has been missing since June 28, 1991. Shelley was born seven days before me and was my first best friend. In my memories of Shelley she is always smiling, laughing, and dancing. If Shelley was in the room, you were definitely having fun! I think having fun was her main goal in life. Unfortunately, that goal led her down a path of drinking, drugs, and partying with some pretty shady characters. But I think her biggest downfall was that she had NO FEAR. I remember times that I would get nervous or scared in a situation and Shelley would jump head on into anything. She was both amazing and terrifying at the same time. As we got older, Shelley continued down that dark path; dropping out of school and disappearing for days at a time. It was hard on the family. We would get frustrated and so angry with her because we could see how much it hurt her mom. All Corinne ever wanted was for Shelley to be safe and happy. Shelley knew how much her mom loved her, but it never stopped her from doing whatever she wanted to do. It got to the point that Shelley would be gone for weeks and months at a time. I don’t know how often Corinne heard from her during these times and the family didn’t question her for fear of upsetting her. My aunt Corinne was one of the happiest people I’d ever met. She was always smiling and laughing. In my eyes she radiated love and happiness. The kind of person that honestly had a twinkle in her eyes. Growing up I secretly wished that she was my mom. With all of the turmoil that Shelley caused, one thing was certain. She always came back home. And when she did, many of us were pissed off but were relieved that she was with us. Sometimes I just wanted to shake her and ask her why she hurt her parents so much. Couldn’t she see what it was doing to them? I wanted to ask her why did she keep going back to that lifestyle. Didn’t she see what it was doing to herself? The last time I remember seeing Shelley was shortly after my son was born. She came to my apartment to see him for the first time. I remember thinking how skinny and unhealthy she looked. I remember being afraid for her. I don’t remember much about the time period when Shelley went missing. I’m sure that as a new mom and wife I was pretty self-absorbed. Also, the family didn’t talk much about Shelley. They felt it would just upset Corinne and nobody wanted anyone to be upset or uncomfortable. When I did find out about her being missing, I was worried but I knew she would show up eventually. She always came home for Christmas. Christmas came and went without her. So I thought surely she will come home in February for her birthday. But she didn’t. It became abundantly clear that something bad had happened to Shelley, but I never heard any details. For me, life went on, but there was a piece of my heart missing. I worried, I cried, I prayed. Still, life went on. But life didn’t go on for my Aunt Corinne. She is surviving, but the light in her eyes, that little twinkle was gone. She still smiles. She still laughs. But that glow is gone. Her joy is gone. Where is Shelly’s justice? Where is the justice for her family? Corinne needs answers so that just maybe she can have a little peace. I recently got my first and only tattoo. It is a copy of the rose tattoo that Shelley has, but mine has SHELLEY written on one of the petals. I went to my Aunt and Uncle’s house to show it to them. Corinne took one look at it and started crying. She knew immediately that it was Shelley’s rose. The family always says not to upset Corinne and that definitely was not my intention. Regardless of the lifestyle she lived, she deserves to be honored and remembered. While I was there I told Corinne about my dreams.. Over the past 30 years I have had many, many dreams about Shelley, The dreams are always different, but always the same. In them Shelley is always alive. Sometimes they will be about her coming home. In some of them she never left to begin with. But in every single one she is alive. I don’t know if the dreams are my way of keeping her in my life, or if it’s my way of knowing that she is ok. Whether she is in this world or not, she’s ok. I don’t know why I have the dreams and even though they don’t bring me peace, they do bring me closer to her. Shelley was my first best friend. I will always love her. I will never forget her. She will always be with me.

She was the cutest little thing. About as big as a minute

Missing my Shelley..... She's been in my dreams 3 nights in a row this week.
I requested a copy of her police report from Phoenix PD and paid their fee, but the status is still just "submitted". It doesn't appear that they have even looked at it yet. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to see cold cases from the 70's & 80's being reopened. I am very happy for those families. They deserve every bit of justice they can get. It's just frustrating for me.......
I got a copy Shelley's tattoo earlier this year
