I have reached out to the family as well as AWP on this one. We shall see.

I stumbled across this YouTube video doing a Google search. I do not believe it provides any additional information that isn't already known, but wanted to add to this thread.

I have heard nothing back from the family's FB page. It is possible they have given up. Just bumping as I believe this is possibly a water accident.

I finally got in touch with Shawn's sister, Tynesha. Very nice lady. Based on the information she provided, the family has paid for helicopter searches as well as hiring a private investigator with zero results. She has no recollection of how well Shawn did while he was in Atlantic City, so could not really confirm nor deny that someone may have wanted to kill him for his money. However, she did mention that after time, when her family needed to clean out Shawn's apartment, his wallet and other valuables were still present. Tynesha did appear to have reservations about a certain person connected to Shawn, but that person also passed a polygraph.

Tynesha, like myself believes this may have been a water incident. According to her, LE has done no water search for Shawn. I inquired as to where Shawn may have been heading after he went to the Valero gas station and she believed he was heading back home, which for me at least, limits the available bodies of water where Shawn may have possibly had an accident.

I have spoken with Tynesha a few times. She has always assumed he was murdered for some "not so good things" he may have been doing. She had not considered that this could be a water accident. Since his car has never been located, I have a hunch, but have been unsuccessful in getting any of the dive groups I have comms with to take it on.

I have been in touch with Adam Brown Adventures and they may be willing to investigate. Fingers crossed.
