FROM THE VAULT: Shannon Paulk

Eleven-year-old Shannon Paulk was excited to visit with her friends and neighbors in the Candlestick Mobile Home Park in Prattville, Alabama on August 16th, 2001 after spending much of the summer away with family. She wanted to see friends and visit neighbors’ animals. Many neighbors recall seeing or speaking with the friendly Shannon that morning. Then, Shannon was gone, and those same friends and neighbors are still searching for answers.  If you would like to learn more about Shannon’s case, consider listening to and following the Cold Truth Podcast.

Dennis Martin

On June 14, 1969, in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park near Spence Field along the Appalachian Trail, six-year-old Dennis Martin vanished during a Father’s Day camping trip — and he has never been found. How does a child disappear in the span of just a few minutes while adults are only yards away? Were critical mistakes made in those first hours? And what do we make of the reported scream… and the sighting of a man carrying something red through the woods? More than fifty years later, Dennis Martin is still missing — and the mountains are still silent. Please also consider supporting Coffee and Cases by joining us over on our Patreon page!

FROM THE VAULT (2022): Sherry Lynn Marler

There is something bittersweet about growing up. For the child, they step into new roles with new responsibilities. They learn to earn trust from the adults in their lives. In return, the adults have to let go just a little of the baby they have raised. They watch with tears in their eyes as some of the innocence of their child slips away into a teen and one day adult. It’s hard, but it is life. We never think it’ll be my child. That’s what made it so unbelievable for 12-year-old Sherry Marler’s mother and step-father to think that their “little farmer” had simply disappeared from their quaint, small town.

Jessica Hamby

Jessica Hamby was trying to come home. After months of fighting to get clean, after voluntarily entering detox, after choosing—again—to try—she stepped back into the Alabama winter…and disappeared. But Jessica’s story doesn’t begin the night she vanished. It begins six months earlier, when her friend Jeremy Abbott went missing and was later found hanging in the woods—exactly where Jessica told police his body would be. Why was she afraid to tell them? And why, after finally speaking up, did she leave the state for months? When Jessica returned, her phone began moving through Winston and Marion counties in the early morning hours of January 3, 2018—ending with one final message. What happened in those final hours? And how does a young mother simply vanish without a trace? Please also consider supporting Coffee and Cases by joining us over on our Patreon page! Are you up-to-date on all our regular content?!
