It seems probable that David Bell died in 2015 (from an obituary online in the right location and a predeceased son called DeWayne). So that almost certainly leaves no surviving suspects other than Reneer, whose tape seems convincing and whose story has been supported by both LE and the Green family.

But one question does seem outstanding. Who were the woman and child from Tennessee that Dewayne Bell claimed to have killed (on the tape)?

We are clear that Shannon disappeared that she is dead but your question is plausible... who were the two of them? Reneer seems to be innocent up to a certain point in this story.. I read somewhere that the police also think so since a polygraph went through and the recorded confession... I also saw that the investigators searched for Shannon's body next to a line iron but that it was not there and that perhaps at some time before it was but it was removed perhaps to cover up the real murderer..
rest in peace shannon

Circumstances of Disappearance​

Green was last seen at approximately 12:30 PM on July 6, 1986 in Owensboro, Kentucky. She was seen walking from 2nd and Poplar Streets to 12th and Haynes Streets to visit a friend, who was located about two miles from her location at that time.

In the summer of 1986, three young people vanished from Daviess County, Kentucky without a trace. Months later, one body was found, increasing concern about what happened to the other two.

Angie Dickens was last seen by two friends who drove the 23-year-old home from a bar in the early morning hours of June 17, 1986. In October of 1986 the remains of Angie Dickens were found in a cornfield in Daviess County.

Eighteen-year-old David DeWayne Bell was last seen on July 11, 1986 in Owensboro.

A man with a long criminal history knew all three victims - John Reneer. Dewayne and Dewayne's father worked for Reneer and Shannon Green told her mother she was headed to Reneer's house to baby sit the day she disappeared.

When new detectives picked up the case and had a renewed interest in Reneer, he told the detectives he didn't commit the crimes, and that Dewayne Bell confessed to him that he killed both girls shortly before Dewayne himself disappeared. Police investigators were slow to believe it, until the tape surfaced. Reneer claimed Bell also admitted killing another woman and her child from Tennessee.

According to authorities the polygraph indicates Reneer didn't hurt Angie Dickens, Shannon Green or Dewayne Bell, and that his account of what happened was truthful.

It sure sounds like a weird bunch of cases with the same perp. Maybe Dwayne changed his name and left because his father told him to? He could still be alive......and probably still active.
