TX TX - Krishonda 'Shonda' Townsend, 19, Mineral Wells, 5 Jul 2010

[krista]

I think I can post this link. If not, Mods please remove. This same person has been posting craigslist ads with the same two photos and with a request for info about the case. This is their fourth craigslist posting...and the most pointed. FYI: This person calls Tiffany Sorrells (Shonda's best friend) "Mandy Suggs". There's no clear reason--yet--as to why they are doing that. I wonder if it has something to do with defamation. lol.
Regardless, the earlier blog post has a ton of new comments and names are named. Please don't post them on this thread. Still a lot of speculation and 'clues' being left.....but someone claiming to be Tiffany Sorrells also posts on the board. FWIW.

Okay! I have listened to the radio interview - thank you very much!

Who was it in the car with Shonda picking up her kid?

Have also looked at the sister's FB. I will never, ever understand why these kids are so stupid! Definitely NOT smart enough to pull this off - in the long run.

Is LE in this area lazy, crooked or just ignorant?

The car. OMG. Whoever the "officer" was that found it originally should be FIRED. If not shot.

I agree, Fairy.....it's SHOCKING that he was so incredibly horrible at doing his job.
I think Tiffany's mother has an interesting FB profile. She mentions all of her children, grandchildren's full names, etc. Very helpful. She is no longer talking to tiffany (according to FB posts). Tiffany believes that her family isn't supporting her and isn't there for her. Her mom didn't respond. Wonder what the rift is about. Regardless, Tiffany's mom and her husband own a karate business. Someone on the Murphy-Milano blog mentions that (*rumor*) people involved/with knowledge about Shonda are getting free karate lessons as incentive not to talk.

So it's Tiffany's and M's mother who's with the karate dude? Free karate lessons. Really? This is the price of murder? I had no idea.

Rumor***
the whole squabble was with the sister over a boy!

OMG. Is it the baby daddy who was in jail at the time Shonda went missing?

 

[Walker007]

Wow, it seems a lot of the kids are coming on and speaking out on the blogs. I guess it suits them well, if they have nothing to hide, they might as well lay it out to keep public pressure off of them or not?

Good Lord! Those comments are something else. Evidently, spelling and grammar are not priorities in the area.

It's difficult to tell if they're posting in defense or outrage, but the majority of them are not making themselves look any better by posting what they are on a public site.

Bottom line is, whoever harmed Shonda is probably STILL there. I can't say I blame those posting anonymously for wanting to hide their identities. There are plenty of threats flying around and if it is truly believed that so many locals were involved in Shonda going missing, I would be hiding too! Then again, they may have their own axes to grind.

Hard to know what to believe....

 

[Fairy1]

One of the sisters is not posting on the blog....Wonder why?

 

[Fairy1]

Wish some of the locals would drop in here and let us know what they think. Teenaged mothers, baby daddy's in jail and a missing girl.

There are a frightening number of arrests in Mineral Wells on a regular basis. Drugs. Tragedy all around.

I agree, Fairy!

Shonda seems like a GEM among her circle of friends. It's super scary that someone in this group....someone that knew Shonda's family and her precious son....could take her life. I imagine that many in this circle might be afraid to come forward. If they are willing to do this to Shonda....it isn't that far fetched to think they would do it to someone else if it means keeping their secret.

I have never seen a bigger bunch of illiterate dunces in my life! Over and above Shonda, it chills me to the bone. No doubt in my mind there are a number of people involved and they are all capable of murdering a young mother for some ridiculous reason. How very sad.

I do believe someone will turn on the others. And if they don't, there will be another victim soon.

Just caught up, there timeline seems to be skewed from what I am gathering but I could be wrong. There is something listed where a few of them give different places and locations.

I spent a good 1 hour + reading comments on the murphymilano page and it seems that there are a bunch of people that want to play games with this. Based on the language used and the type of grammatical mistakes made I think that several of the conflicting posts were made by one person claiming to be multiple people. I am ver glad that this forum is more closely monitored and maintained than that one. Great job WS mods and admin!

Yeah - I don't think it's the timeline so much as the impossibility of someone being in two places at once!

Those who have nothing to hide should be out looking for Shonda. Why aren't they? Why isn't anyone?

They should contact TES.

 

[Fairy1]

Listening to the radio podcast and reading the comments on the blog - I notice some discrepancies in the story from the "last person to see Shonda." It is stated that Shonda and this friend dropped by a party looking for someone who had this other person's CAR. Supposedly, they were there for a very short time and were told the person they were looking for was at the EZ Mart, which was their next stop.

Shonda was seen in her car on the EZ Mart surveillance video at 11:50 PM (with the "last person to see Shonda"). That person claims Shonda then dropped her off at home - which has me wondering - what happened to HER car that they were supposed to be picking up??? Shonda's last text to her Mom saying she was on her way home was at 12:10 AM - twenty minutes later. Last phone ping - probably caused by Mom's call to Shonda when she realized she wasn't home - was after 2:00 AM and pinged off a tower that would have been on Shonda's way home.

It seems there are a number of folks believed (locally) to be somehow involved in Shonda's disappearance. Some of them (many, actually) are quite well-known to LE in the area. So much so, I'm having some difficulty in determining who was actually incarcerated when Shonda went missing and who could have been out and about.

Fairy,

I'm working on incarceration dates for the players who were said to be in prison during this night.
As for the discrepencies.....TS's 'baby daddy' and the guy she liked at the time was Shonda's brother.......so, I can't see anything happening to Shonda while he was there or with his knowledge. I think Shonda made it to the ez mart and, for some reason, went back to TS's house.
The girl claiming to be Tiffany S on the blog site says that there were '3 people there who heard Shonda's last words'.....TS, her ex boyfriend, and 'two kids'. Who's kids were there....TS only has one child....I don't recall Shonda taking her child out that night....and Tiffany's exboyfriend is Shonda's brother!!! It isn't likely that he would let anyone harm his sister. I'm thinking she is talking about a different ex boyfriend possibly, but then why was that guy there? I wonder about the other kid a lot.....because TS's sister has a child/children too.....and I wonder if TS means there were only 5 people in her house (Her, Shonda, the ex, and 2 kids) or if TS meant that there were only 5 in the KITCHEN, with other people at the house.
I really see this as some sort of revenge killing. I wonder if they didn't go to the ez mart first.....THEN ride by the party......and were 'caught' by someone who didn't like Shonda and thought she was in the way. Or, if Shonda went back by the party to see if her ex was there and who he was with, running into TS's sister outside, who blatantly said that she would 'kill a b****' who she believes was flirting with a guy she likes (in reference to a recent situation not involving Shonda). MOO

TS said they went to her ex-BF's house to eat. IDK why.

Is the dude VS is with now Shonda's ex?

All of these peeps have babies - and that's so sad. 'Cause at least some of them are going down.

It APPEARS as though VS has gone through a few guys since Shonda went missing.
Shonda's ex is the father of her child.....I can't find a FB account for him, but it isn't the guy VS is with now, IMHO.
Colie shared that the RUMOR is that Shonda's ex (Father of Haiden) is the reason there were jealousies between these girls. IIRC, Shonda's ex was supposedly in jail at the time of the incident. They were fighting over guys with prison records. Yay!
Regardless, that is not the same guy who VS is with now.
Several people on blogs and in news comments have mentioned that there is 'social network evidence' against certain players in this case. I'd really like to know what evidence they are talking about.

 

[krista]

TS's sister (unverified) on the blog defending her sister from people claiming TS may have been involved....edited for language. She just put herself and all of her friends at the scene. Honestly, I know nothing about any of these people, but the one who has consistently given me red flags is THIS sister, not VS or TS.

MS says some interesting things on FB, too, in August of 2010. She also makes repeated comments and threats towards other people.....but they all do that.

O.M.G.

To think this was over petty jealousy about a loser jailbird is sickening. To think the the loser boyfriend who came between them is now forgotten is even more sickening.

I have looked for the social network comments by VS and they appear to have been removed. Though I have heard they were quite explicit and everyone knows about them. Little does she know, they have been saved by some and can be retrieved, regardless. Hahaha.

From what I understand, VS is not the only one who had a beef with Shonda. There was another (for whom I cannot find a FB or MS). She should also know, anything she posted before taken down has been saved.

IMO, these folks are nowhere near smart enough to pull this off. Just a matter of time.

BTW - thank you for your efforts in pulling together the arrest records. I have some restrictions with my new computer, but going by the Mineral Wells Index Police Blotter records, some of these guys spend a great deal of time in jail!
