Took a while away from this case but circled back, especially since I live very close to where Shannan was found. I listened to the call 50+ more times and keep coming to the same conclusion.
She wasnt whispering like someone sneaking away to make a 911 call
Compare her call to the one that lead to Sean grate's arrest. Listen to this poor women's tone, volume and real fear.
Nor was she screaming frantically or specifically saying what happened or what she saw. She didnt say for example knife, gun, taser, rope, they choked me . Nothing specific.. After she got put through to state police she said "there's somebody after me" 2x. She's asked "where are you " she repeats "there somebody after me asked again "where are you mam".... after a 5 second pause she says again "there's somebody after me".. that doesn't sound like someone who's fully aware of what's going on or in fight or flight mode.
I think brewer originally called her in as entertainment no sex needed, because that's cheaper. Then after some drugs and alcohol tried to push for sex maybe without wanting to pay more. When shannon wasn't about she started calling pak to end the date and maybe brewer said get the <modsnip - profanity>out or ill kill you and it made something snap in her head. I'm not saying he's a good guy I'm sure he's talked down to his fair share of sex workers. He honestly sounds like the just about every middle aged rich divorced long island dad I ever heard. The get off my lawn types instead "get out if my house" , for him. He sounds like he's trying some reverse psychology saying "we will all go outside together" in hopes that shannon agrees. He seems to try stand her up she resists. He offers to get lost by going upstairs. He figures if he's out of the room, she will be less aggravated and pak can calm her down and get her out. Pak tells her let's go and she kept saying no. Then a few mins later she starts asking him to go. Saying, "please get me out of here, mike". "I'm begging you now.... I just want to go home". Pak says "let's go" "let's go home" but she doesn't get up to go. Yes, she didn't know the address but that's not proof that she never knew it. She also didn't give her age when the dispatchers asked her. She knows her age but maybe forgot that also.
If someone was outside why didn't they catch her when she ran out to colleti's? If someone was after her why didn't she stay at the saftey of the colleti's. Even he says to her "wait a minute ,where are going, what are you doing"? Between him, pak, brewer and the 2 dispatchers that's 5 people that seemed confused by Shannon's behavior that night.
If Pak took her there to be murdered why would he stick around parked outside for 3 hours and risk be seen by witnesses and the secne? If he was part of some murder ring and shannon "got away" he would have went away or lawyered up. Not go back the next day looking for someone who's now a potential witness.
I think Shannas unfortunate death coincidentally lead to the bodies of a real serial killer. Due to our investigative natures (we are on websleuths for a reason after all) many believe she was also a murder victim. Prior to the 911 call being released I would have bet the house on it. After listening to the call probably hundreds of times at this point I cannot come to that conclusion.
As for the missing bone, after 19 months in the elements. Snow, heat, rainstorms, high tides. Hell 3 months before SG body was found we got hit with the remnants of hurricane irene. 400k ppl lost power from wind and rain. The area where SG was found got clobbered during the storm.
Before anyone points to the second autopsy at least quote it correctly.
"Baden said the evidence was consistent with homicidal strangulation, but insufficient to release an official cause of death."
There's no such thing as kinda pregnant.
Well, what is your theory then, for why Shannan dialed at all?
(To be very clear, I do not agree with the theory that Shannan was acting irrationally. We have proof that she wasn't. On the phone she is rational and clear. I disagree with your analysis, and think she only sounds irrational to people who refuse to believe that she was in danger, no matter how much evidence there is that she was in danger.)
But, what is your theory? That she was being irrational? Then, why did Brewer or Pak not call 911 themselves and say there is a psychiatric emergency? How do Pak or Brewers behavior on the phone make sense? Why do neither of them refute that she is in danger or state that they will protect her? The closest Pak comes is ignoring her statement and saying let's go back to Manhattan. He doesn't even say, "Part of what?" When Shannan accuses him of being in an a plot against her. Pak ignores her question when she asks him why he is using Shannan instead of her work name. These weird behaviors of Pak are not explained by claiming Shannan was being irrational.
Shannan's behavior is only "confusing" if you refuse to believe the obvious. Someone was trying to harm her. If anyone tries to pretend harm was not imminent, that's when the 911 call sounds funny. Assume that something was scary outside of Brewers house, and it all makes perfect sense.
If a person tries to pretend that nobody was trying to harm Shannan, all of the players behaviors stop making sense. The most irrational behavior (assuming no one was trying to harm Shannan) was the behavior of Brewer. He kept trying to cajole her into leaving with him, and she wouldn't go. Those are the behaviors of someone trying to deliver a woman outside to danger, not the behaviors of someone trying to get an overstaying woman outside of his house. He owned the house. He had all the power to tell her, leave or I'll call 911. He knew she was on the phone with 911. Why didn't he just blurt out his address, and say, come take her out of here? Especially if Shannan was behaving irrationally. Tell the police that she doesn't live there and you want her out!
Pak didn't make any sense, either. Why was he calling Shannan her real name? Why was he chasing her, then why did he leave before the police arrived? He knew she was on the phone with 911, which is why he kept emphasizing that going back would be to Manhattan, not across any state lines. The more rational thing for Pak to do if he was not trying to deliver Shannan someplace, or not trying to harm her, if he directly did, would be to leave the minute he had his money. Why go through all the drama? He could have told her to take the train back, or pay him again if he has to drive back to pick her up. If he truly thought she was acting irrationally, why not call an ambulance? He knew she was on the phone with 911. He could have said, she might need to see a doctor and given an address.
And, where was Shannan's earnings? No natural cause death makes cash disappear from your wallet. Baden examined what was left of Shannan's body. But the biggest clue that makes it obvious she was murdered is the 911 call. Her pants being removed. Her missing money. The location of her body compared to the location of her empty wallet.
We know that there was a resistance to solving LISK for some reason. Part of the effort was in mischaracterizing the contents of the 911 call, and refusing to release it for a ludicrous reason. (It was an ongoing investigation, but no foul play? Huh? What is being investigated then?) But the call is out now, and there is no doubt it depicts a sincerely terrified woman reporting that she is about to be harmed, and she promptly was harmed.
Shannan sounds completely terrified on the call, then she is dead. She sounds exhausted, but she has the presence of mind to try to calm the men around her. She thought it would be possible to trace her call. If she were right, the call could have saved her life. And where is the normal distress about THAT? If anyone in LE really believes she died of natural causes, why haven't they at least said, gosh, if we only knew where she was calling 911 from,she wouldn't have drowned. Why didn't Pak say, if I hadn't left, she wouldn't have drowned? Frankly, the response to her death all around is suspicious. Does nobody care that she died, even if they refuse to believe someone was trying to harm her?
MOO
