They've enlisted the help of planes, helicopters, and dogs.

They say there was more to Shawn than previous misdeeds.

[...]

Throughout the investigation, the sheriff's office and family members have not always seen eye to eye.

But now, a new agency is in charge.

“We've been trying to get BCI and FBI involved in this because we believe it's a case they can help us with,” Myers said. “Finally, BCI cold case guys have taken this case over.”

Details of Disappearance​

Antill was last seen on December 23, 2017. He was riding in his car with two friends and one of their children, traveling from Uhrichsville, Ohio to Cadiz, Ohio. According to his companions, Antill was possibly under the influence of drugs and his behavior changed during the ride. He believed the police were after them and asked to be let out of the car.

Antill's friends pulled over and let him out of the vehicle on U.S. 250 near the Harrison County Home. One of his friends got out with him and tried to calm him down, but Antill only became more paranoid and ran away from him towards Cadiz. His friends drove back to their home in Uhrichsville. He never showed up at their home to pick up his car and has never been heard from again.

At the time of his disappearance, Antill was carrying his cigarettes, a disposable lighter, and his wallet, which contained identification but not his driver's license. Since his disappearance, there hasn't been any activity on his cellular phone or credit card. He is missing under unclear circumstances and his case remains unsolved.

In March 2025, a man named Joseph Pyle Jr. went on a YouTube livestream and said he had killed Antill, then later he recanted his statement and said he didn't even know who Antill was. A photo of Pyle is posted with this case summary. He was questioned by police and said he wasn't involved in Antill's disappearance and had never met him or his family members. The police believed him, but he was charged with causing a false alarm.
