Hell and Gone Murder Line: Shannon Lee C...

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

On March 11, 2021, Shannon Lee Collins, a 48-year-old veteran, came back from a work trip to his home in Pottsville, Arkansas. Then, he seemed to vanish into thin air. 

Catherine continues her investigation from last week, focusing on two things: one, what angles are the police investigating, and are they making any progress in finding out what really happened to Shannon?

And two, what do you do if you suspect foul play but there is no body or sign of a struggle?  And what will happen to the family who will not let him go and NOT stop asking questions?

If you have a case you’d like Catherine Townsend to look into, you can reach out to us at our Hell and Gone Murder Line at 678-744-6145.
