• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Lady in Gray. Thank you guys for being here. And
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: thank you to our replay crew because, guys, it means
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: just as much to us and to the family's that
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you watch this later because sometimes timing doesn't work out, okay? Now,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: today we are headed to Maine and there's some cool
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: stuff to talk about because I always thought Maine only
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: was good for lobster, but apparently the Pine Tree State
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: has some pretty fascinating things hiding behind all those lobster
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: rolls and lighthouses, okay? Now, Maine became the 23rd state
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: on March 15th in 1820 after previously being part of Massachusetts.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Did not know that. It's the largest state in New
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: England and is so heavily wooded that more than 88%
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: of its land is covered by forest. Guys, that is
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the highest percentage of any state in our country. I
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: didn't know that either. So Maine also has 6,000 lakes
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and ponds. Holy hell spells, okay? They also have thousands
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: of miles of rivers and streams and roughly 2,000 coastal areas.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what? And they have 65 lighthouses. Also, guys,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: they're serious about their blueberries. They produce an overwhelming majority
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: of our nation's Wild blueberry crop. Didn't know any of that, okay? Also,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the state cat is the mancoon. So now I'm wondering,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: is it mancoon instead of mancoon like I've always said it?
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: And guys, the state treat is the whoopie pie, which
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I find interesting because I thought whoopie pies came from
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the South. So I'm very excited to learn all of
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: these things, okay? Now, As of today, there are 153
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: active missing persons cases in Maine. And guys, that is
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: 153 families who go to bed every night wondering where
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: their loved one is. And I want you all to
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: stop and think about that for a minute. 153 family
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: members who go to bed every night not knowing. That's
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a lot, okay? And that's just horrifying thought to me. Now,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: our first case is Jason Real. He was 33 years
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: old when he disappeared from Brunswick, Maine on January 12, 2012. Today,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Jason would be 46 years old. But when I recently
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: had the opportunity to communicate with Jason's sister, Angela Real,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: our conversation gave me much better information. personal understanding of
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: who Jason was before his name ever appeared on a
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: missing person poster. And guys, that is one of the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: reasons I love talking with family members. I want to
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: share more than what their missing person flyers say, more
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: than what newspaper articles say. I want to share with
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you who the person is, okay? Jason is... A white
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: male who stands between 5 foot 11 inches and 6
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: foot tall, weighed between 185 and 200 pounds at the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: time of his disappearance. He has brown hair, blue eyes,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and he wore his hair closely shaved and had a goatee. Now,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: his nickname is Jay. Jason had a dragon tattoo on
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: his left forearm, scars on both wrists, and a scar
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: on his right eyebrow. Jason, I have one on my left.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: It is not known exactly what he was wearing when
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: he disappeared, but it has been said that he might
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: have been wearing dark blue, gray or green sweater or
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a hooded sweater, most likely had on khaki pants and
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: leather shoes. Now, the physical details are important when we
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: are talking about someone who is missing. But like I said,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I also want you to know the person. behind that
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: description when we can. And Angela told me that before
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Jason became a missing person, he was her brother and
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: her best friend. Guys, these two were very close and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: makes my heart hurt even more for her. Now, Angela
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: and Jason had a difficult and unstable childhood and they
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: moved around frequently. But through all of that, they remained
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: extremely close. Now, Angela said Jason, she remembers him as
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: being quiet, playful, gentle, and kind. Okay. And even his life,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: you know, eventually took them in different directions and sometimes
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: put some physical distance between them. They always found their
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: way back to one another. Now, Jason was also deeply creative. Okay,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: he loved drawing and poetry, listened to music, and he
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: enjoyed playing video games. Now, another cool thing, Angela said
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Jason participated in art shows in downtown Brunswick. He volunteered
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: with Food Not Bombs, and for a period of time,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: even hosted a radio show on, I'm not sure if
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: it's Bowden, Bowden Radio, okay? He wasn't simply a man
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: who would eventually become the subject of a missing person investigation, okay?
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Because he was an artist, a poet, a gamer, and
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: he was someone who gave time to his community. Now,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: like I said, one of the things that stood out
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: with me during my conversations with Angela was the relationship
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: she had with her brother, okay? Jason knew he could
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: go to Angela's with anything. Okay. She was a safe
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: place for him. He could talk to her. He could
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: vent to her or simply spend time with her without
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: worrying that she would judge him. Guys, we all need
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: somebody like that in our life. And the fact that
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: it is a brother and sister who have that relationship
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: makes my heart swell. It really does. Okay. Because siblings,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: A lot of times when you grow up in a
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: difficult childhood, like I did, sounds like what they did,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: having a close relationship with your sibling, because you're the
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: only two who know what it was really like inside
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: your childhood and growing up. Okay. Now, even when they
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: live separately, they remain connected through visits, phone calls, texts,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: spent holidays together. Okay. And there were short periods when
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: their lives moved in just different directions. But Angela said
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: it wasn't very long before they communicated. Okay. So he
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: wasn't known to go off for two years and not
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: call her. Okay. So he kept in touch. Now this
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: relationship becomes particularly important when we look at Jason's disappearance
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: because Jason was a free spirit and he had traveled. Okay.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: He had spent time in New Hampshire and Florida and
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: all throughout Maine. But Angela said something that changes the
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: way to look at this case. Jason might travel, but
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: it would have been extremely unusual for him to disappear
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: for an extended period of time without either Angela or
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: their father knowing where he was. And when their father
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: realized he had gone an unusually long time without hearing
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: from Jason, he and all of the family knew something
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: wasn't right. Now, Jason had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: he needed medication to regulate his condition. And in the
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: period leading up to his disappearance, he had reportedly stopped
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: taking that medication for a time and was experiencing increasing anxiety, paranoia,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: and other symptoms of his illness. Now, Angela was very careful,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: you know, during conversation to distinguish between what she personally
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: witnessed and what she later learned from their father about
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Jason's condition during those final weeks. And guys, I want
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: to remind you, as somebody who has a son with
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: bipolar disorder, which is different than schizophrenia, but my understanding
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: is both of those disorders get to a point where
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: you feel good and you don't think you need the medication.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: That is not uncommon. So if anyone is thinking of
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: shaming Jason or anyone we cover on our show, because
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: they stopped taking their medication, I'm going to tell you
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: to stop and do some research and also take a
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: look in the mirror. It could be your family member, okay? Now,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: their father, Doug Reel, had said that Christmas was generally
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: a difficult time for Jason. Jason had previously attempted suicide twice.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: In 2010, Doug had said that Jason had overtaken his
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: medication and lost two or three days. And on the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: night before Jason disappeared, he stayed with his father. And
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: his father said Jason was talking about some government conspiracy
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: and some things. And shortly before he disappeared, Doug told
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: him he needed to get his medication filled. Now, Angela's
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: understanding is that Jason was subsequently captured on surveillance at,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: oh my goodness, excuse me, at Rite Aid filling his prescriptions.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: And there are published reports that Jason was seen on
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: surveillance picking up his medication. Okay. Then, you know, came
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the morning of January 12th. At approximately 6 a.m., Jason
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: reportedly woke up, said that he needed to walk and left.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: He has not been seen or heard from again, except
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: for that surveillance video. Now, At the time, Jason was
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: living in an apartment on Federal Street in Brunswick. Now,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Angela later went inside that apartment herself, and what she
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: personally saw there has stayed with her all of these years, okay?
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: And I will tell you guys, it's going to give
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: you some goosebumps, okay? Angela said the lights were still on.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: The apartment door was unlocked. Jason's backpack was sitting open
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: on a chair. His laptop was there. His cell phone
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: was there. His eyeglasses were there. But what she found
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: particularly significant and what gave me pause first was the
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: eyeglasses because he needed them to see. Also, she saw
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the medication inside the apartment. She also said the apartment
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: did not look like the home of someone who had
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: packed up all of their belongings or some of their
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: belongings and intended to disappear. She said it looked like
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Jason had simply stepped out expecting to come back. She
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: said she didn't see any obvious signs that someone had
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: broken into Jason's apartment. She also said she didn't see
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: an evidence of a struggle. Everything appeared to be where
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Jason had left it. Now, Angela remembers his keys and
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: his wallet being missing when she went into that apartment.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: There are some discrepancies online. I'm going to trust Angela, okay? Now,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: also the family found two of his disability checks uncashed
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: in his mailbox. Okay? Now, the thing about Rite Aid,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: there are reports concerning that he did fill his prescription
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: around that time, okay? As well as a report that
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: his debit card was used at Brunswick Rite Aid on
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: January 18th, six days after his reported disappearance. Now, one
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: thing we all know, sometimes the transactions do not publish
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: right away. Sometimes that happens. But because Jason was missing
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: without his medication that he needed, his family does consider
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: him especially vulnerable, as I do, okay? There was some,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: you know, concern that he could have been staying in
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: homeless shelters, living on the streets, or possibly staying with
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: someone who offered him shelter, but no reports of that. Now,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: schizophrenia is an important part because it makes him extra vulnerable.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: But guys, his diagnosis was not who Jason was, okay?
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: He was an artist. He was a poet. He gave
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: time back to his community, okay? And she said he
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: was still the same brother she had known and loved
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: throughout her life. He was still quiet. He was still creative.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: And he was still kind. And he was someone who
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: trusted and remain connected to his family. As the years
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: have passed, his family has continued searching for answers. His
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: aunt and uncle, Tammy and Ken Reel, have spoken about
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: the pain of not knowing what happened to their nephew
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: and have asked anyone with information to come forward. Ken
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: has said that having an answer would bring relief to
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: all of the family. Sadly, one member of Jason's family
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: did not live long enough to receive that answer. Jason's father, Doug,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: died in 2014 without ever learning what happened to his son.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: And guys, that makes us a little more hard, you know,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: when we think about what Angela shared, because Angela wants
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: people to understand that Jason wasn't someone who simply wandered
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: away and stopped contacting them. Yes, he would travel. Yes,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: he was a free spirit, but he didn't go very
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: long without communicating with his sister or their father, okay?
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: And that is probably one of the biggest reasons that
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: more than 14 years later, his family is still looking
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: for him. Why? Because Jason Real is somebody's son Somebody's
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: brother and best friend. He was an uncle, a friend,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: an artist, a poet, a gamer. Like I said, a
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: man who volunteered his time to help others in his community. Okay.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: He had people. Okay. Now, Jason's apartment, I'm going to
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: say with the lights on and the backpack open and
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: laptop there, cell phone there, glasses there. I agree with her.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: She expected him to come home. Or he thought he
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: was coming home. But he hasn't been seen or heard
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: from since. His family wants to know what happened. Now,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: his family set up and they maintain a Facebook page,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Missing Miss and Love to Jason Rowe. I'm going to
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: ask anyone that has a Facebook page to please go
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: like the family's page. Read all about Jason. They have
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: some of his poetry, some of his drawings. Okay. You're
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: going to want to go read them. Okay. And his
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: family seeks answers. Okay. Please. anyone with information about Jason
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Real's disappearance, please contact the Brunswick Police Department at 207-721-4333. Now,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: before we go on to our next case, I want
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: to share with you one of Jason's poems, okay? Because
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I kind of like it. Heaping Humphrey. Heaping Humphrey Bogart,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: sugar in my coffee. I love you, my sugar. What
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: a nutty taste. You have sung to me. I have
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: to say, I love you, you see. Someone save me
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: a cup or two. Cup of Joe down to my
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: toes and it to my heart. It warms my hands.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Let me out of this Pandoric box in my land.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: My body is a temple, as you can see, decorated
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: most desperately. The sun shines and shadows my halls. Silver
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: bells decorate my halls. They chime two times when you
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: walk by. Into my halls you will go. Sturdy brick
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: walls with vines grow tall. Sunflowers and seeds sprout willingly.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: My garden is where I tend to me. Working all
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: day in rain, winter shine. Plant some seed in the
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: fall for wine. Guys, that's just one of them. So

• 22:11
  Speaker 1: case is Shirley Teresa Atwood, who's also known as Shirley Moon.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: And she was 35 years old when she disappeared from
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Cannon and Main in 2006. She would be 54 years
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: old today. Shirley is a white female. who stands 5
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: feet 2 inches tall, weighed about 104 pounds. She has
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: brown hair and green eyes. Now, Shirley is missing her
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: right ring finger and has a heart with leaves tattooed
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: on her right shoulder. Shirley left her home in the
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: spring of 2006 when she separated from her husband. Now, guys,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: you're going to want to buckle up because... It's about
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: to get a little interesting, okay? After Shirley moved out,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Cheryl Murdoch moved into Shirley's home that she owned with
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: her estranged husband, Shannon Roy Atwood. You got it right.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Cheryl Murdoch moved in with Shirley's estranged husband. Now, Shirley
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: has not been seen since March of 2006. She was
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: reported missing on July 15, 2006. Like I said, she
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: hasn't ever been heard from again. Now, she was experiencing
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: financial problems when she disappeared. As a teenager, she had
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: inherited a sizable amount of money and property from her grandfather,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: including that residence that she left that her estranged husband
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: stayed in and moved another woman into shortly after. Anybody else?
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Red flags. Why she wanted away from him so bad.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: She was willing to leave her home that she was
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: left by her grandfather. That tells me so much, guys.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but guys, another woman disappeared. Okay.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: It was that woman, Cheryl Murdoch, who lived with Shirley's
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: estranged husband. Shirley Murdoch disappeared on July 27th, 12 days
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: after Shirley was reported missing. Both Cheryl and Shirley's vehicles
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: were left behind. Two women. Red flags. Anyone automatically jump
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: into conclusions? I try not to do that, so I'm
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: going to just say red flag. Now, Sadly, on August
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: 11th that year, Cheryl's body was discovered in a wooded
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: area off Scott Road in Cannon, not far from the
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: home where they had lived. She had been brutally murdered.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: With the discovery of Cheryl's body and Shirley still missing,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: police served a search warrant on the Route 23 property,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: hoping to find information that about both the women, either
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: of the women, something. But guys, when police arrived to
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: serve that search warrant, Mr. Atwood locked himself inside the home.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: And then he threatened the police and said he was
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: going to blow up the house using the propane tank
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: connected to the home. Guys, that would have killed the law,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the all law enforcement officers. Now, Thankfully, police were able
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: to turn off the propane and take Shannon into custody
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: without any loss of life. Now, he was arrested for
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: criminal threatening, reckless conduct, and terrorizing. And he was sentenced
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: to nine months in jail. Guys, it's a red flag
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: for me when your estranged wife goes missing. Then your
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: new girlfriend who you moved into that home goes missing.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: And then her body is found of the girlfriend. Not
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: far from your home. And then you threaten to blow
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: up the place. Red flags. Now, as I said, Cheryl's
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: body has been found. Shirley's had not. Okay. Now, Shirley's
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: estranged husband, Shannon, had a criminal history for burglary and theft.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: And he had previously been convicted of aggravated assault on
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: a former girlfriend. Now that girlfriend stated that Shannon had
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: attacked her and threatened to murder her and bury her
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: body in an isolated field. So I'm going to just
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: say he's not a great guy. Okay. Now authorities wanted
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: to try him for the murders of Cheryl and Shirley
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: at the same time, but a judge ruled that the
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: cases would have to be tried separately. Then in November, 2007,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Prosecutors dropped the murder charges against Shannon and Shirley's presumed death,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: stating they didn't have enough evidence to proceed to trial,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: especially if the cases are split apart. And they could
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: file charges at a later date. Now, Shannon still faced
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: trial for Cheryl's murder. The trial, Shannon tried to claim
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: that his estranged wife who was missing was responsible for
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Cheryl's disappearance and murder. And that Shirley had left to
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: live somewhere else. Sorry. Sorry. Cheryl went missing after Shirley
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: went missing. So explain to me, because I'm a simpleton,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: how Shirley murdered Cheryl if she went missing after Shirley did.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: I mean... Please, I'm willing to hear. So in July 2008,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Shannon was convicted of Cheryl Murdoch's murder and he was
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: sentenced to 55 years to life in prison. Good. But guys,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: the question still remains, what happened to Shirley? Okay. She
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: is still listed as missing. Police and family do fear
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: that she is deceased. but they say without Shirley's body
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: being found, they do not know for certain. They do
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: say foul play is suspected in Shirley's disappearance due to
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: the circumstances surrounding her case. Guys, I'm going to just
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: go be Captain Obvious and say I agree with them.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: A man kills the girlfriend, has charges of assaulting a
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: previous girlfriend. How did he wind up staying in the
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: estranged wife's house. He's the one who said she moved out.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Do we know if she really moved out? So anyway,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: but guys, what is important is over 20 years later,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: there is still no answer. Okay. We do not know
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: where Shirley Moon Atwood is. So we are asking anyone
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: with information about the disappearance of Shirley Atwood, please contact
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: the Maine State Police at 800-452-4664. Her family deserves answers.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: And guys, if her estranged husband murdered her, he deserves
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: to be punished, whoever hurt her. deserves to be punished.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: So that's what I'm going to say there. Now, don't
• 30:07

• 30:11
