MI MI - Brittany Shank, 23, Sturgis, St. Joseph County, 30 Nov 2018

[BBsJusticce]

Thank you for calling this out. I ran it again and the database is only supposed to query her state of residence but pulled up someone by the exact same name in PA. I wish they'd give a date of birth on these missing person reports.

Search Quarry isn't actually very accurate, unfortunately. Even with a paid subscription...

What also hasn't been known to many is that the old man from the first house she stopped at stated to police that Brittany had said she wrecked and her "boyfriend fled". There is also a video circulating of a man identified as CA, now in custody in LaGrange county, walking to his car. You can hear him yell either yo Kurt,wtf you doin . I'm not placing quotes because I don't remember the exact phrase used. The one thing for certain is the name Kurt. You can hear her scream, and even try to escape out the back door. A suspect was brought in for questioning and had marks all over his arms, claiming they were from installing a new cd player in his friend's car (CA's). DNA evidence on the CD player located in the back seat proved she was back there.

They cleaned the car well, not the cd player...or that cd player was in a different car, as was Britt, at the time of her death.

There are FB groups dedicated to providing help in finding justice for Britt, but have only proven time and again to be a breeding ground for drama caused by attention seekers who have turned this infoa rat race to see who can get the $1k reward. They twist stories and condemn other who are desperate to help. They have made it to where people are reluctant to want to share anything new.

There are still a few solid warriors though have refused to let these things slow them down.

There are a few questions they have not been able to answer though. I'll bringing them here as i just found this forum and I'm praying it's still active and that the members are able to help!

This may sound strange, but they are trying to figure out who did Brittany's ink. If you know, please share the artists name and location. If you would like to remain anonymous you can email me at bbjusticce@gmail.com (yes, two C's)

Please, if you have anything you think could be beneficial to the search for answers and justice for Brittany Nichole Wallace Shank comment or email.

She deserves more...

Brittany was also forced to leave her grandma's before she was ready. She was angry about it because her clothes were still damp. Whomever was with her was agitated/nervous and in a hurry to go. There are also conflicting reports on her clothing. There have also been reports that she was in shorts and a tank top with bare feet. This would corroborate Cossiart's statement about her injuries and as far as how he'd be able to see them. Also prompting the to offer her something warm.

She had another tattoo that no one has reported. On her back. It's a quote that says, "My demons tried & tied to drown me, but they didn't know I could breathe under water."

What also hasn't been known to many is that the old man from the first house she stopped at stated to police that Brittany had said she wrecked and her "boyfriend fled". There is also a video circulating of a man identified as Chuck Allen, now in custody in LaGrange county, walking to his car. You can hear him yell either yo Kurt,wtf you doin *****. I'm not placing quotes because I don't remember the exact phrase used. The one thing for certain is the name Kurt. You can hear her scream, and even try to escape out the back door. A suspect was brought in for questioning and had marks all over his arms, claiming they were from installing a new cd player in his friend's car (Chuck's). DNA evidence on the CD player located in the back seat proved she was back there.

They cleaned the car well, not the cd player...or that cd player was in a different car, as was Britt, at the time of her death.

There are FB groups dedicated to providing help in finding justice for Britt, but have only proven time and again to be a breeding ground for drama caused by attention seekers who have turned this infoa rat race to see who can get the $1k reward. They twist stories and condemn other who are desperate to help. They have made it to where people are reluctant to want to share anything new.

There are still a few solid warriors though have refused to let these things slow them down.

There are a few questions they have not been able to answer though. I'll bringing them here as i just found this forum and I'm praying it's still active and that the members are able to help!

This may sound strange, but they are trying to figure out who did Brittany's ink. If you know, please share the artists name and location. If you would like to remain anonymous you can email me at bbjusticce@gmail.com (yes, two C's)

Just heard of this case and getting caught up. Thank you for the further information I saw the video as well and knew it wasn't one guy. You provided me the answer. Obviously that was her...

On the video bbsjusticce is speaking of there has been no dna confirmed to be Brittany shanks that has been released to my knowledge! There was no cd player in the back of the vechical that the feds took to run test and analyst the vechical. The recording was originated as a gas theft that occured in LaGrange County Indiana. "Kurt" is not what is said by "chuck Allen" as bbsjusticce states! That information is wrong Kurt is not said at all during that recording! It's not been confirmed by law officials whom was screaming in the car if even in the car at all! This is how stories get started and a case gets strung out beyond what needs be. In order to help the case and or solve the case we need true evidence the thinking or I think this what's being said hurts the case tremendously for those whom didn't nor may not even know what's going on in the case throwing out names cause you think or that's what you were told could ruien a innocent person whole life. Facts evidence to back those evidence.

My son is her age group. He had his own place at this time and lived in the area. It seems I've seen her at his home before. She looks familiar.

I wonder if they ever found out who did her ink.

It appears she spent some time in LaGrange County before she went missing and liked a tattoo place down in Syracuse.
