Krishonda Leanne Townsend: A Victim of Intimate Partner Violence ?

What does an abandon 1997 Toyota, a karate school, social networks and specific friendships have to do with the disappearance of Krishonda Townsend, age 19 who vanished from Mineral Wells, Texas on July 4, 2010?

Is her case a random abduction? Or a carefully planned out intimate partner homicide?

An intimate relationship is a particularly close interpersonal relationship, and the term is sometimes used euphemistically for a sexual relationship. The characteristics of an intimate relationship include an enduring behavioral interdependence, repeated interactions, emotional attachment and need fulfillment. Intimate relationships include friendships, dating relationships, and marital relationships and there are individual differences in both the quality and quantity of these relationships.

In my opinion, after reviewing new information on Krishonda’s case, one or more individuals who knew her are also involved with her being taken 4th of July night staged to look like an abduction.

On January 12, 2011, Monica Caison, founder of the Cue Center for missing persons, featured Krishonda Townsend’s case on www.therothshow.com. The following day on the "Susan Murphy Milano show Time’s UP" on last half hour of the broadcast, the case was again featured HERE. The date of the broadcast was the 13th of January.

I strongly suggest those with knowledge listen to the entire final half hour, we do everything but say the full names of those involved. Even if you have knowledge of the crime, you can be charged with obstruction of justice for not coming forward.

I am hoping that those “with information” will listen to both shows and step forward by placing an anonymous phone call to either the Cue Center or law enforcement the number listed below. Until her body is recovered and or an arrest is made, coverage will continue on this case.

I would like to send a special message, more like a code, for those in the know on this case-is this really worth free karate lessons? And please take note of the tag words associated with this post.

I cannot find anyone who stated Riggin Valley was driving Shonda's vehicle? Marvin Antonio Eugene Burkett was the driver of Shonda's vehicle on July 4th/July5th 2010. Riggin Valley was only one of the passengers. The name is not "Brendon" it's "Brendan". As in Brendan Daniels. Brendan Daniels is Chris Penry's half brother.

Isn't Chris Penry's wife Trish Penry (formerly Patricia Gregory) related to Bryan Farmer's kids Bailey and Little Bryan? Coincidence maybe? And she works at Antelope and MS worked there at one point in time.

I find it ironic that several of these actors parents were either convicted felons or known dope users years ago. Example: Marvin Burkett's father EV Burkett. He was a convicted felon. He was also a men person. Apples usually don't fall far from the tree.

Correction--Actually the name is: Brendan James Daniel.

I thought that she was putting suggestive thoughts into the MWPD's heads when she knew how much gas Shonda had in her tank. She was "suggesting" that Shonda stopped for gas and something may have happened to her. She was planting the seeds in everyone's minds, or poisoning everyone's minds to divert attention off of herself and her family & friends. When she said that her phone rang about 30 minutes after Shonda left, she said she thought Shonda was calling/texting her to tell her she made it home okay. I bet it was Misherie calling to ask to borrow the car again. I believe TS knows her car and Misherie are involved somehow. The police need to check cell phone records to figure out who made that call/text to TS shortly after Shonda left.

Did anyone see Tiffany at the bar (mule barn) this weekend? Red corset, short black skirt and her junk hanging out, beer in hand? She sure looked like a "Best Friend" in mourning didnt she. I would hate to think that if my best friend had found out that I was murdered and thrown out like a piece of trash just days before that they would get over it so quickly. Tiffany YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. you make us all sick, and I hope that you have someone to care for your children when you are convicted for being an accessory to MURDER. you keep showing up to the events and searches because you are like the fox in the hen house and you have to be in the know.

Is Brendan Daniel Coy Garland's half brother?

Yes, They are half-brothers. It appears these parents slept with anyone that had a zipper.

Just for information-Coy Garland's father, Larry Don Garland is currently incarcerated in the Palo Pinto County Jail in reference to D.W.I., 3rd or more offense.

Lets just say for instance Shonda was among a group of people, including Ms. Denna Sorrells Farmer, out in a field and Shonda was fatally struck with a bullet from a firearm, whether it be accident or on purpose. Shonda died as a result of the gunshot wound. Shonda's lifeless body was disposed on Sand hill Road like a bag of trash. Now everyone who was present is now covering up for the shooter. Would this be something that may have occurred?

Anonymous said...

I can't help but wonder, what Shonda did to deserve this!!

Did she know something??
Was someone jealous of her?
Was someone's man trying to hook up with Shonda?

I don't think Shonda was involed in drugs like some people are saying.

None of these are reason to ever harm anyone!

Still praying for her "family". Yes that's right I didn't say Tiffany Sorrells.

I hope whoever did this to her gets what they deserve!!

i havnt figured out how her being shot has been brought up? ive kept up with all these posts since they started and i see the mention of COLT and just here recently bout her possibly being shot? Ans i know jps very well....and there is no way that he has done anything.

Oh and as to an earlier post bout tiffany stating the truth and bout that nite.....u really need to go back and re-read her posts cuz they have been changing like no tomorrow.

New technologies and methods are transforming the field of forensic science. Today scientists use DNA tests, high-performance liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, 3-D computer imaging, and other advanced technologies to reconstruct crimes and accidents. The new forensic science can distinguish trace elements and organic materials down to the level of only a few hundred molecules.

Given the sensitivity of the instruments, forensic scientists need to adhere to rigorous procedures and standards to ensure that their results are valid and reliable—and can withstand scrutiny in courts of law and public opinion. Used carefully and evenhandedly, the new forensics can help uncover hidden crimes, convict the guilty, and exonerate the innocent. Sophisticated science now plays a key role in identifying victims of crimes, accidents, disasters, and wars—and provides reassurance, closure, and emotional support for bereaved survivors.

YOU WILL BE CONVICTED OF MURDER

HOLLY COW!!!!!!!! it seems to me and im shocked that NO ONE else has noticed NOR done anything but go LOOK at the JULY 22, 2011 @ 1:06pm posting............NOW it has been proved that Krishonda's remains were NOT found until OCTOBER 28, 2011 HOW is it that it STATES where her body is????? I just heard bout this site not to long along. And im totally shocked NO ONE has mentioned this to LE that EVERYONE is so fawned of saying throughout majority of the posts. For the record it has been reported along with ALL the accounts. it just seems to me that KRISHONDA WOULD HAVE BEEN BROUGHT HOME TO HER FAMILY MTHS AGO...........but no one EVER went to look. the only person that even remotely replied to the post in JULY was DC. I can see that the ones that say they ARE here for finding shonda NEVER were......JUST HERE FOR DRAMA!!! Typical for MINERAL WELLS!!!!

Ppl are goin to believe what that want rather its facts that are prove without a shadow of doubt or just what someone thinks is the truth. And jus because someone knows the person OR persons that cld be OR are involved dont mean they no something. For one I no several of the gentlemen that have been stated in ALL of this and it doesn't mean i not what happened. Im not by no means taking up for anyone PERSON in all this im just stating the obvious.
The statements that have been posted here prolly are all spectulation but if you stop and really think bout it in the pile of lies and finger pointing there is the truth in there. A person that is afraid of being know can come on here and state what they have witnessed and since no one really takes what anyone says on here serious where else can you say what u witnessed without getting harassed??? EVERYONE in here says "TELL LE.....MAKE IT ANONYMOUS!" Well what if you felt you could not trust ANYONE on the LE????

Anonymous said...

Shonda’s family should get a lawyer and sue the MWPD for how they DIDN’T handle this case. I think they could win. They need to at least talk to a lawyer about all this. They would be breaking ground for other missing people who get neglected by law enforcement. Maybe change the loophole in the law, and call it Shonda's law.

Well said. There has been a communication breakdown because everything is labeled as a "rumor" which prevented people from brainstorming and using facts to come up with logical conclusions and problem solving.

Instead of blocking everything out completely, you should listen to everything and learn to filter. There is some truth in there.

To those who keep saying, "let the police do their job." Have you forgotten they said Shonda was a runaway and will turn up? Have you forgotten they tried to brush off the investigation onto Jack County? They put up the crime stoppers anonymous tip line and were waiting on US to provide them with tips. That means, we need to put our heads together. One person might have some facts, and another person might know different facts.

There is nothing wrong with brainstorming. That means if something is a rumor, people can tell them it's not true. There have been many ideas in here that people disagreed with and pointed out why it can't be true. It is called a back-and-forth discussion and it doesn't have to be perfect. You are allowed to say the wrong thing, and someone is allowed to disagree and correct you.

I am so grateful for Ira Mercer. They are going to need tips too, or anything to expedite and help them out.

It can be anonymous through Crimestoppers, CUE, or this page right here. Someone murdered and whoever that person or persons is needs to be held to justice. Who would be next? Was it a crime of passion or jealousy? What young girl would be murdered next? What young man would die next because he made some kids mad? It is not right. Tell what you know. Tell what you have heard. There is a murderer in town. Are you ok with that?

I jus want to thank Susan Milano Murphy for her latest on Krishonda. I am glad to see that someone other than myself is reading and doing what needs to be done to get justice for Krishonda and her Family.
I posted the Nov 5th blog referring to the July 2011 post. I also posted the Nov 8th post pointing that date out and the one rite after from here on out i WILL NOT post as anonymous! I will post as 458.

I am confident they will convict the murderer/murderers of Shonda Townsend. I do urge those who know even the slightest information to tell. It can remain anonymous. Susan has posted her info on this page and says it will be anonymous. Did you overhear something? Did someone say something when they were partying and got messed up? Did a friend tell you and swear you to secrecy? Maybe what you know doesn't seem like much but it just may make a difference. Would you want your family to know? Would you want to know who murdered your loved one? Would you want to know who murdered your daughter?

Wow, i just read Susan Murphy Milanos page on the link she had posted a few post up and the posting from July 22nd that was posted on this page. Whoever wrote that post on July 22nd knows exactly what happened to Shonda and by whom. The know exactly who killed her and who all was involved. They gave the exact location of where her body was found. I hope this same person is courageous enough to turn over the information they know to the proper authorities. As always my thoughts and prayers are with Shondas little boy and her family. RIP Shonda, the truth will come out eventually and whoever did this to you will pay the price for it!

Praying said...

So is the Anon poster from October 29, 2011 3:26 AM who said he/she posted the July 22nd post not plausible when they said they were making an educated guess? I drove out there the day they announced that Shonda's remains had been found, and the location is on Sand Hill, not Ferguson, as the poster was guessing. Sand Hill is a few blocks east and south of what the poster said....very, very near, but didn't nail it. I don't think the poster knew anything, but was really making an educated guess. I guess that person needs to contact LE right away. I think you are under suspicion by SMM and others who frequent this blog.

i know that there are ppl on LE that NO ONE trusts...but Mike isnt one of them. If anything HE and one other ARE prolly the ONLY ones that CAN be trusted. I have my reasons and they are TRUE.
when i spoke to the Other one 'bout what i have read on here and gave the website info...it was stated that he/she believes the same as the citizens of MW, not knowing who they can trust. FYI Lets jus say all info is being sent else where than here in Palo Pinto.
And i had mentioned to the other 'bout the statements of Thomas Clark and an "unknown" person be the only or 2 of 5 that took advantage of Krishonda that evening or Weee hrs of the 5th....i even stated who i had been told it was....lets jus say the "unknown" person i stated he/she did not confirm nor deny. and those that are in lock up else where are being looked at.

Oh and by the way All those who are asking where was this OR that stated in this blogspot......Go to the OLDEST post and start from there and you WILL find ALL the posts from Brittany; Mishere; Tiffany; Daily Chance; Ellen Adams; Vincent Hemphill; and MANY anonymous'; and a few other off the wall names. How do you think i found the JULY 22nd post??? Its called research!!! and its called....IM NOT LAZY!!!!

I wld like to respond to a post not too long ago that referred to Mineral Wells citizens being LAZY and ignorant.....Im sorry to tell you but Im not either of those. If you were so smart as you claim than you wld have noticed the JULY 22nd post and the OCTOBER 28th post and see what i pointed out!!! so plz get off your high horse of thinking OR believing you ARE better than others! And QUIT pointing out ppls spelling....no ones cares bout that jus what is being stated....DUH!!!! NO ONE is perfect...NOT even YOU! Get over yourself and move on!
Also, things are fixen to change here in Mineral Wells and everyone will be shocked when it does! Meaning ppl are prolly coming in here and CLEANING house B4 you know it! Out with the BAD and in with the GOOD!

Thank you. Finally, someone with commons sense.

Everyone who didn't pay attention to the details, please google "wishful thinking". This is from Wiki, but there are definitions all over the Internet.
This is why you fall prey to rumors.

"
Wishful thinking is the formation of beliefs and making decisions according to what might be pleasing to imagine instead of by appealing to evidence, rationality or reality.
"

To the person who said, "I don't listen/like rumors, but....." (then you go on to repeat one yourself). You contradicted yourself. Your actions don't match your words.

Misherie is too quiet, she hasn't said anything since Shonda's remains have been discovered?

I never have believed the time line given by Tiff (T.S) Shonda departed Tif's home at 2350 hrs. and then text her mom at 0010 hrs. to say she was on the way home. Shonda could have driven home in that twenty minute time span. "If it doesn't make sense then it's not true."

MW has some people with some serious denial, mystical, magical thinking for sure. Why do people keep going off on Salem Witch Hunts on mysterious strangers on the blog who are just trying to help out, rather than look at the proven facts right in front of them.

As TS and Anthony would say, "which hunts". Do you think that is a coincidence that they both have their "witch" and "which" mixed up? Did they have the same teacher in grade school? Or....Do you think someone learned by example by watching the impersonators on here and impersonated Anthony?

11:50 - 11:53 EZ Mart, GOAL: TS chasing down MS to get her car back. They never explain if/when/how MS gave TS car back to her.

11:53 - 11:55 Drive to Toby's or TS house. MS said that Shonda said bye from here (implying that this was the last time she saw Shonda). If TS and Jackie walked by to party from EZ Mart, then who drove TS car? Boetz said that TS and Shonda are seen driving away together. This means that MS still had TS car when they left the EZ Mart. Did MS and Jackie follow TS and Shonda back to Toby's to exchange the car, or did they keep the car longer and go back to the party from the EZ Mart.

11:55 - 12:00 Shonda went inside Toby's with TS, because there were 3 other people in the kitchen when Shonda said bye. Which some say were Toby's 2 kids + Toby. I think it might also have been Misherie, Jackie and Toby.

12:00 - 12:10 ????????

What happened between midnight and 12:10. This is why I think Shonda must have given MS and Jackie a ride back to JP Simmon's house.

If not, then please correct me.

During all of this, when did TS see Shonda texting someone? Someone whose name started with "A"?

Jackie?

Anonymous said...

TS and Shonda met Misherie and Jackie West at the EZ mart. IF MS and Jackie followed TS and Shonda back to Toby's to give TS back her car, then Jackie and MS would have had to walk back to the party, or they could have gotten a ride from Shonda since she was leaving anyway. JP Simmons house (party) was only about 2 blocks from Toby's house and the EZ Mart. MS may not have given the car back but kept it longer and as she said, the last she saw Shonda was at the EZ Mart.

Here goes my attempt at a profile of the killer.

Who ever did it, knew that Ferguson Road went through and Barker Road didn't. They have traveled this way frequently enough to know the back roads. Similarly, they knew that Sand Hill didn’t go through but FM 2256 does (via 5th).

Why do they travel this way frequently? ... The killer is someone that lives in the south of MW and accustomed to driving this way to visit someone they know that lives in JP/TS/Toby neighborhood. They either live close to, or south of, SW 22nd street if they live on the southwest side of MW, or they live close to, or south, of Mh 379 if they live on southeast side of MW.

I believe the killer lives in south Mineral Wells because if they lived farther north than 22nd, they would have taken SW 10 street over to visit their friend who lives in JP/TS/Toby neighborhood.

I think at least one of the killers is from far southwest MW because they probably tried to use Sand Hill at one time instead of 5th-fm2256 to get home and discovered that Sand Hill didn’t go through. They had "a priori knowledge" that the road wasn’t traveled often so they left Shonda’s body there.

The killer also does drugs and frequents SW 8th street because they left Shonda’s car just half a block north of SW 8th street. The killer would never go to this neighborhood alone because it is dangerous. The killer usually goes with a friend or several friends that also do drugs. It makes sense that the rumors say a group of individuals were seen driving Shonda’s car. Would you drive down SW 8th street, or “drug market street”, alone?

Who ever accompanied or covering for the killer, are also killers according to Texas State Law.

FYI: Jackie was mentioned before on this blog, but she never has spoken on here. I doubt she had anything to do with the crime, but she would be a witness.

Okay, Misherie is too quiet? My opinion is Misherie is guilty of some type of involvement in Shonda's murder. It's a well known fact Misherie doesn't like Shonda and is/was jealous of her. Misherie, Jackie W. and Tif (T.S) should go back and read the postings in this blog concerning the death penalty in the State of Texas. Please remember all of the rants concerning Texas Death Row. It will not be long before Misherie gets a free ride to Palo Pinto County from Harris County. Misherie "Man Up" and hold out as long as you can, be tough. They will come to get you! They are coming! You are guilty and they will get you! They already know where your at and what you do! I promise their coming! Try to hide! GOD knows and before too much longer everyone will know the truth!

It was a stupid move using Shonda's cellphone. You didn't think that one out did you? Peadenville? I don't think so! Never got that far!
Let the record speak for itself! Shonda was dead before the text message was sent to her Mother. Forensic science is going to get you! They are coming! They will take you away and put you to death! There are ways to avoid a death sentence, but you are "TOO SMART" to confess and plead! The GOD that Shonda knows and screamed out for that night knows who you are! GOD SAW YOU!
They are coming! They will drag you out of your bed into the street like the sick dog you are. They will show you the same mercy you gave Shonda-NONE! GOD HAS TURNED AWAY FROM YOU MURDERER! YOU WILL NOT SEE GODS FACE!

RECAP on the cell phone and cell phone tower.

----------
According to the Mineral Wells Index:

There are indications Townsend or someone using her phone were north of Mineral Wells BETWEEN the hours of midnight and 2 a.m. because activity from her phone bounded off a cellular tower in the Peadonville area during that time.

-----------------
Here is what was said in the Susan Murphy Milano radio talk show interview with Carolyn Rittenbury (Shonda's mom):

Carolyn: She (Shonda) was at a friend’s house, and she texted me that she was on her way home.

Susan: Ok, and how long had you realized after that, that you hadn’t heard from her.

Carolyn: At 2 o’clock in the morning.

Susan: At 2 o’clock?

Carolyn: I realized she wasn’t home yet.

Susan: So what do you do, you start making phone calls to people?

Carolyn: Well, I start making phone calls to her [Shonda] and trying to connect with her, and I can’t get any service. She doesn’t call me back or anything. Then at 6 o’clock the next morning, I realize that she didn’t come home and then I starting trying to contact people and see if I could find out where she was or had spent the night or whatever.

-------------------
Boetz on Nancy Grace:

BOETZ: Yes. We have done that. The last time that it was pinged, it was an INCOMING text to her phone. That`s the last time that it`s ever been in service.

GRACE: So the night she goes missing, 2:20 a.m., she gets an INCOMING text and who was that from?

BOETZ: We would rather not comment right now so we don`t compromise the case.

GRACE: I know the mother wakes up at 2:00 a.m. and discovers Shonda is still not home. This is two hours after she`s called saying she`s coming home. Around 6:00 a.m., she got up for good and starts looking for her. What more are we missing, Sergeant?

(later)

GRACE: To Sergeant Boetz, is there a body of water, is there a nature preserve? What`s around there?

BOETZ: Yes, there is, but before I answer that, can I add something to what was just said just a minute ago?

GRACE: Sure.

BOETZ: The phone call, the INCOMING text at 2:20 a.m., it actually pinged off a cell tower north of Mineral Wells. So therefore, we know her phone was somewhere outside the city limits of Mineral Wells --

GRACE: How far?

BOETZ: It`s without -- it`s almost close to Perrin where she lives.

GRACE: I`m sorry, I couldn`t hear you. Are you saying 15 miles, 10 miles, 2 miles?

BOETZ: Probably about five to ten.

...(later)

PENZONE: I can`t imagine and you`re exactly right. Whatever happened to her occurred BEFORE that vehicle was moved into that area, before that radio was traded, and it`s somewhere in that progression.

Location of Peadenville Tower:

As the car drives:

Here's my theory:

Shonda gave MS and Jackie a ride back to JP Simmons house (party) since she was on her way out the door and it was only 2 blocks out of her way (explains the extra 10 minutes and time gap from EZ Mart 11:50 to 12:20).

After MS and Jackie got out and went inside, Shonda sat in her car out front for a few minutes to text her mom that she was on her way home. While Shonda was out in her car alone and finishing her text, that's when she was overtaken by a gang either just arriving or departing the party.

They saw her sitting out there alone, and they were drunk/high and operating on uninhibited impulses.

This gang probably suffocated Shonda to prevent her from screaming for help. They spend the next hour ditching her body, taking out the stereo and looking through her car for any more valuables. Then, they gave Shorty Poe a ride home up north, but forgot Shonda's phone was still in the car. It rang, and they either threw it out the window along Shawn E. Lane, Salesville Road, Rock Creek Road, or 281. They may have also kept it along with the stereo (remember they are drunk/high and owe the drug dealer so probably planned to sell the stereo and phone). They abandon Shonda's car at the crack house around 2:45. They needed a ride so called someone to come and pick them up. The police should check everyone's sell phones for incoming calls around this time.

Whomever gave the perpetrators a ride back from the crack house, is now an accomplice. She/he probably didn't know at the time that a crime had been committed, but upon after learning where Shonda's car was found figured out who was involved.

I really don't think TS or MS knew anything bad had happened at the time. They probably started piecing together after Shonda went missing and found out where her car was left.

Just a theory!

By favors, do you mean selling the electronic stolen goods from the burglaries in MW.

I believe I saw some cell phone trading and deals going down on one of their facebook walls. It does make sense that they'd keep the cell phone if they have found a way to reuse them.

Why do you think the Texas Rangers should be the lead Investigators?

Maybe you aren't aware that all Local, County, State and Federal Law Enforcement groups are involved heavily in this matter.

Please have full faith in your Local Law Enforcement (City and County) All of these groups working as a team will solve this issue.

However, I will admit I feel a lot better concerning MWPD involvement now that Mr. Scott Mitcham is Chief of Police. Chief Mitcham is very Professional and very knowledgeable. He is truly a team leader. Chief Mitcham, working along side of PPCS Ira Mercer who is indeed another fine leader of his team will work with State and Federal Law Enforcement to quickly solve this crime.

The citizens of Mineral Wells, Texas and Palo Pinto County are very fortunate to have these two top crime fighters working on their behalf.

Anonymous said...

Mitcham is the interim chief, his position is not permanant yet. I find it ironic that on possibly the coldest day of October some random out of towner decided to do a walk over of some property for sale. Keep in mind that it was very cold with temps a little above the 40s and raining the search by law enforcement could not even be done that day because of the weather conditions. Maybe just maybe one of mr mitchams crack head informants tipped him off. I for one dont put it past anyone. Small towns have corruption too you know the good ole boy system. I think its wonderful the Texas Rangers have stepped in maybe this will be solved in a quick manner.

Anonymous said...

The point is Shonda's remains have been found. There is no conspiracy. A perspective land buyer found the remains. You can think that an informant advised Chief Mitcham, and that would still be okay because it led to the discovery of Shonda's remains. It just didn't happen that way.

Contrary to popular belief the Texas Rangers didn't "Step In" as in taking over any investigation. It doesn't work that way either. The Texas Rangers are just another branch of Texas Law Enforcement. All of these Law Enforcement groups work along side each other with equal knowledge in an effort to solve this crime. If there is a "Lead Group" it would be Palo Pinto County Sheriff Office led by Sheriff Ira Mercer. Because the crime scene is located in Sheriff Ira Mercer's jurisdiction which is Palo Pinto County. All of these Law Enforcement Groups are great, very professional, very dedicated organizations. They all cooperate equally with each other and are looking forward to solving this crime against Shonda and her family. Citizens of Mineral Wells, Texas and Palo Pinto County Texas should have full confidence these fine groups will solve this issue.

With all due respect, there were so many blunders from the beginning starting with the fact that the MWPD assumed she would just "show up" and how they did not handle her car correctly. The list of blunders goes on and on so that does make it hard for a decent law abiding citizen to have faith in the law enforcement. It should have never taken so long for that poor child to be found but we can not change the past. We can only hope that murderers are found and prosecuted. I do support our law enforcement. My tax dollars help to pay their salaries. I do however, expect professionalism and dedication from the local law enforcement agencies. They are paid to ensure the laws are upheld and protect my wife and children.

Tick-tock y'all. Shonda's murder will not go unsolved.

Anonymous said...

Well it's THANKSGIVING Day Thursday November 24, 2011. We should all be Thankful Shonda's remains have been recovered. Now we know Shonda wasn't buried on Gary Ralph Miller's property. She wasn't hidden under brush piles at Union Hill. Shonda wasn't thrown into Possum Kingdom Lake after she was murdered. Shonda remains were right there in Mineral Wells, TX (Palo Pinto County)where she was murdered. There are at least two crime scenes with this murder. The people who Shonda loved and trusted murdered her. What could possibly be the rationale behind this crime? I'm sure Shonda's "Friends" have a good reason, in their minds, why this had to occur? There was no other way out. I really cannot sit here and try to figure this homicide out, as I do not think the way Shonda's assailant(S) think. We can all sit here and try to figure this out, but we will be unsuccessful. Our brain doesn't work that way. In the minds of the person(S) responsible for this heinous crime, there is a perfectly justifiable reason Shonda was put to death. Was it an accident? Drugs and money? Jealousy and envy? Was Shonda sentenced to death over a man? A scorned lover? The reality is we may never know. We may have to settle for never knowing the truth? That's gonna be a hard one to accept.
All though I am not a Police Spokesperson, I ask you to believe that Law Enforcement has worked very hard on Shonda's case since she was first reported as a missing person. For the numerous branches of Law Enforcement involved in this issue there have been many long days and sleepless nights searching and investigating all of the possibilities. Yet there will be many more to follow before this issue is resolved. The good news is "Time is on our side." On this THANKSGIVING Day I am also thankful for the hundreds of Law Enforcement personnel working everyday to solve this crime, because without them we have no hope at all.
Statistics prove a friend or acquaintance is more likely to cause you harm than a stranger. "Friends murder Friends every day." Texas Death Row is full of "Friends" who killed "Friends."
During the time this blog has been posted we have heard from hundreds of Anonymous people. We have heard from Daily Chance and Ellen Adams. All people who had strong opinions of what occurred July 4th/July 5th 2010. We have had the pleasure? of hearing from such villains as Tif (T.S) Misherie, Denna, all of the Brittany's, Michael as well as their support group. I suspect there is more to come from their uneducated, foul mouths. We're not going to hear from Shelly Dawn Barton-Driver as she is facing a very long prison sentence which will begin in the next few weeks. Then there is Mr. Burkett. He will be dealt with as well. Law Enforcement has him stored away safely should they need him. Don't forget Riggin. Somebody drove Shonda's vehicle and somebody was the passenger? Doesn't matter which is which, just flip a coin and decide who did what.
It's THANKSGIVING Day. I am Thankful Shonda has been found. I am Thankful for Police Chief Scott Mitcham and PPCS Ira Mercer. I am Thankful for all of the devoted Law Enforcement personnel and agencies who never give up. "Please catch the BAD GUYS." I am Thankful for Shonda's Aunt April Hambrick who has never complained of just being tired. THANK YOU April! GOOD JOB!

Profile of the Sociopath

Glibness and Superficial Charm
Manipulative and Conning
They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.

Grandiose Sense of Self
Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."

Pathological Lying
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.

Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.

Shallow Emotions
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.

Incapacity for Love
Need for Stimulation
Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.

Callousness/Lack of Empathy
Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.

Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature. Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.

Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency
Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet "gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.

Irresponsibility/Unreliability
Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.

Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity
Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts.

Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle
Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.

Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility
Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily.

Other Related Qualities:
Contemptuous of those who seek to understand them

Does not perceive that anything is wrong with them

Authoritarian
Secretive
Paranoid

Only rarely in difficulty with the law, but seeks out situations where their tyrannical behavior will be tolerated, condoned, or admired

Conventional appearance

Goal of enslavement of their victim(s)

Exercises despotic control over every aspect of the victim's life

Has an emotional need to justify their crimes and therefore needs their victim's affirmation (respect, gratitude and love)

Ultimate goal is the creation of a willing victim

Incapable of real human attachment to another

Unable to feel remorse or guilt

Extreme narcissism and grandiose

May state readily that their goal is to rule the world


(The above traits are based on the psychopathy checklists of H. Cleckley and R. Hare.)

Apparently there are alotta sick people out there:
"We are pleased with the jury's verdict. This was a horrific murder," said Hennepin County Attorney Amy Klobuchar, the equivalent of a district attorney in the Wisconsin system.
"Leja lured Bobbie Holder to her boyfriend Tequila Smith's home so that Tequila Smith and his brother Chaka could attack him. In addition to assisting in the murder, Leja attempted to hide the crime by driving to Wisconsin and burying Bobbie Holder's torso, and then disposing of the other body parts. Our prosecutors James Keeler and Andrew Winter did an excellent job in presenting the evidence of Leja's involvement in Bobbie Holder's death and the concealment of the crime," Klobuchar said.
Klobuchar's confidence in the evidence notwithstanding, the verdict was no sure thing for the prosecution.
Holder was murdered July 5 by Darnell "Tequila" Smith, 25, and his brother, Chaka Smith, 17, according to testimony. Holder went to Darnell Smith's residence after being told on the phone by Tina Leja, 27, that Darnell Smith was not there and he could come over.
In fact, Leja knew Smith was there, and Holder was murdered when he arrived. He was shot twice and stabbed about nine times. His body was then dismembered.
Leja and a man named Andre Parker, 30, who has pleaded guilty to aiding an offender, then drove the torso to Wisconsin, where it was buried in the back yard of property owned by Elroy Leja, who discovered it a day later.
When the crime was discovered and Chaka Smith arrested, Leja fled with Darnell Smith, first to Montana, then to Mississippi.
Leja maintained that she lived in fear of being killed by Darnell Smith, with whom she became involved in a romantic relationship when he was in Stillwater prison and she was a prison guard.

Forensics is a wonderful thing. It has improved vastly in the recent years and makes marked improvement every day. Wherever you go and whatever you do leaves your DNA behind. No matter what you do. It seems as though it has been six months since Shonda's remains were discovered, but we need to let the scientist and investigators take their time and examine every detail very carefully. Did the murderer(S) leave evidence? Sure, now allow the persons with the knowledge to do their JOB. Only the murderer(S) and person(S) "In the Know" are aware of the evidence left behind by the person(S) whom placed Shonda's body at that location. There are still at least two crimes scenes involved here, possibly more. Actually at least three that I can name. The party house where the actual murder occurred, the vehicle Shonda's body was transported in after the murder occurred, and then there is the location where the skeletal remains were later discovered. I still feel crackhead Denna and Otis are involved. We know crackheads Marvin and Riggin are involved. They are stupid enough to be witnessed as operating Shonda's vehicle the night of the murder. Then there are the two crackhead whore sisters Tiffany and Misherie. They are covering for their Mother, DADDY and bastard half-brother.

I want to be in a hurry to see the return of Shonda's remains to the family and proceed with the next phase of this sad story. But there is no hurry, Shonda is as dead as she will ever be.
Revenge is a good thing. Hopefully the family and friends of Shonda will get that SWEET REVENGE! One would wonder the stance Shonda's family has on the Death Penalty? This is going to be something the Justice System is going to have to discuss with Carolyn and decisions will have to be made and family opinions will have to be given.
I love the posting on the Shonda page that so proudly states "Shonda, I hope you're having a good time in HEAVEN." That is great news. The author of that posting has a wonderful outlook, has no worries concerning her future and knows what tomorrow will bring. She has a personal relationship with the living GOD!

“Attitude is sometimes overlooked but telling of indicators. An honest person is going to be cooperative. They are going to be willing and helpful to getting you to the truth. They are going to be willing to brainstorm. A deceptive person will pepper their story with way to much detail in irrelevant places. They tell it in a strict chronological order. When they get away with a lie, they smile, and that smile is what they call ‘duping delight’” (Pamela Meyer: How to Spot a Liar).

I keep hearing this and it catches my attention each time, because I find it an irrelevant detail.

"Shonda ate TWO hotdogs."

What is missing are the details of what happened IMMEDIATELY after they left the EZ-Mart. They always skip to the part where Shonda is saying goodbye from the kitchen.

TS and Shonda were chasing down Misherie so that TS could get her car back from MS. This is an unfinished story.

Did TS get her car back and where, when and how did she get it back?

I feel like this was the critical moment. It lacks the details that we really want. If they are telling the truth, then they have nothing to hide.

By the way, it is our business.
When a murder happens, it's everyone's business, because it infringes on everyone's rights to live in a safe environment.

Of course, I'm going to remain anonymous to people who may have killed Shonda. If you don't see anything wrong with lying and killing, how do I know you won't direct your anger towards me and kill me too. Why do you need to know who we are. A few people are saying out loud, what many are thinking silently. You can't eradicate every last gossiper and silence people with threats. Why do you need to know who people are? Do you plan to hunt them down?

TS did the "bait and switch" on Shonda twice.

TS didn't have her kids, Shonda didn't have hers, and since there was a party next to TS house, that was an obvious opportunity.
"no kids = party time"

If she told Shonda up front that the plans were to go to a party, Shonda wouldn't go, or not be allowed to go. This is why the plans change later, after Shonda is lured there.

Bait 1: It started as a firework show, which was acceptable to both Shonda and her mom.

Switch 1: The plans changed to go to TS house which is in same neighborhood as party.

Bait 2: They needed to find MS to get her car. How convenient that MS was at the party.

Switch 2: They ended up at party.

Both "bait and switches" started out as plans to do something that would be acceptable to Shonda, but both lured Shonda closer and closer each time to where TS wanted to be.

See how TS gradually gravitated towards getting closer and closer to the party.

Where did Shonda think she was going that day: fireworks, ok, so it changed to TS house. Then, get TS car from MS. This all sounded innocent to Shonda.

Where did Shonda end up? Killed by someone at the party.....The party that she should not even have come into contact with according to TS "innocent plans".

TS words don't match her actions. She disguises things with words and tries to paint them to be something different, but when you look at only the actions underneath....She got Shonda to that party.

Shonda may not have gone there willingly, because she was tricked into it, and may have wanted to leave. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Shonda partied at the party, I'm just saying, that she ended up there by being tricked into it.

That's a fact, Shonda was unwillingly at the party because of TS.

Shonda was seen by Vyncent Hemphill who was at the party. Shonda was seen by JP, who was at the party.

It is, what it is.

Anonymous said...

I believe this is another "bait and switch" or "disguised ulterior plan" performed by TS.

TS went to play Wii with Shelby. Shelby was all excited about it and talking about it several times and looking forward to time spent with TS.

What was TS excited and talking about afterwards? Getting to see Tim. All about Tim. You can tell where her mind was.

If I was Shelby, I'd be feeling so USED by TS. Which makes me question if TS friendship with Shonda was real, or was it also to get closer to Tim. What about Shaela?

Anonymous said...

Why did TS and Shonda have to drive by the party where MS was to deliver a message to MS?

Why didn't TS just call MS on her cell phone and tell her to bring her car back?

It seems like to me that the very same people lacking a vehicle, would be the very same people that would utilize Shonda's car before ditching it.

These people may have been too high/drunk to drive. That would explain why they front-ended another car with Shonda's car due to impaired judgement on stopping distances.

This is a family who has a lengthy, extensive criminal past. Denna, Marvin, Tiffany and Misherie are all criminally insane. In their minds the part(S) they had in Shonda's murder is justified. They don't see the big problem with what has occurred, to them it is an all right ending. They are criminally insane and do not "get" reality.

"SWEET REVENGE" is not the correct word usage. "Justice", Shonda, her family and friends deserve justice. An eye for an eye. It will be justice served for the murderers and those otherwise associated with Shonda's killing to be put to death for their crime against the citizens of the Great State of Texas. It will be a Just thing for these murderers to be put to death. Otherwise they will sorely re-offend at a later date.
Please pray for justice for Shonda, her family and friends!

To protect the citizens of the Great State of Texas from these predators future attacks they should be housed on Texas Death Row until the Great State of Texas sees fit to enforce their punishment for crimes against Shonda, which the only logical prevention will be a sentence of Death by lethal Injection.

You should always assume that no one cares. Take care of yourself and your loved ones, don't depend on anyone or group to provide your Security. These people will hurt you if given a chance or reason. Be in the mind frame and have the means to protect your own life. Check out the concealed handgun license rules and requirements for your state. Read about and learn the "Castle Law" for Texas. Protect yourself at all times. Don't be a victim. You ARE NOT required to retreat. You have a right to protect yourself, your property and loved ones. Don't be a victim. Protect yourself at all times and be prepared. Mineral Wells, TX. is full of crackhead nuts just like the Sorrells who will hurt you if they manage to sneak up from behind and surprise you. PROTECT YOURSELF AND DON'T BE A VICTIM. BEING A VICTIM GETS OLD. Make sure your home doors and windows are secure, check them twice every night. Properly secure your doors every time you go outside, even for a minute. take a key with you and unlock the door yourself when re-entering. Don't knock and expect your spouse to unlock the door. This leaves room for error. If that person at the door needs in they should have a key. Don't answer the knocks at the door. Doctors don't make house calls and nobody needs to make a purchase from door to door opportunist. Intended visitors should telephone prior, this gives you a Heads UP and you can always tell them not to visit if you aren't up to it. This is your castle. Don't bother with un-welcomed knocks at the doors. They will go away. You are not required to open your door to anyone who doesn't have a search warrant. People will hurt you, Don't be a victim. Aren't you tired of being a victim already?

I like to think Deputy Randy Hunter is a close friend of the Sorrells Family, and nothing else. The problem is the perception of what may be occurring? "Birds of a feather!" Does anyone have information concerning Sheriff Ira Mercer's drug testing policies on his subordinates? Another thing to consider is the fact that no one has been publicly named as a suspect or accomplice in the disappearance and murder of Shonda Townsend. Tiffany, Misherie, Bitch Denna, or Crackhead Marvin have not been criminally charged at this time with any criminal charges related to Shonda's case. Randy Hunter, no matter how bad it appears, has all rights to befriend anyone he chooses. Deputy Hunter should however consider seeking employment in another county and leave Palo Pinto County at this time. Mr. Hunter should know this ongoing relationship appears inappropriate at best and criminal at least. If this relationship continues, Mr. Hunter will find himself on the wrong side of Law Enforcement and unemployed. Mr. Hunter should consider his near future, and his well being. Mr. Hunter has decisions to make concerning his future. He should seek employment elsewhere. Good luck to PPCSO Deputy Randy Hunter! "You have your suction in the wrong pit."

I have a feeling they aren't talking because they've been read the Miranda.

"Anything you say, can and will be used against you....."

That's a sign that MWPD is doing something.

Except, Denna was on here cursing up a storm. Hasn't anyone told the police about her and Bryan showing about at the party about 1am. Not many people would associate or help cover up a crime, except parents. Cindy Anthony lied for Case on the stand. Scott Peterson's mom gave him money to escape to Mexico. Parents will do anything to protect their kids.

I don't think any of the Sorrells bunch has posted a single comment since Shondas body was found. A person would have to be stupid to post any other way than anonymous on this page. Who knows who will be next??? I just hope this all comes to an end for Shondas family and that they will find out the truth and find out who Shonda thought was a friend but turned out to be her murderer. Like the old saying goes "keep your friends close, but your enemies closer". Hoping and praying the entire truth comes out about what happened that night that Shonda went missing!

I for one, don't think this was random. There were several females at the party that talked to and associated with Shonda's killer/s, and they weren't in danger. Why is that? Why not Cassie instead of Shonda? Isn't that a clue? They aren't going to kill one of their own nearest and dearest, or one of their buddie's girls, but have no problems killing Tiffany's friend from Perrin.

I was reading up on some missing person cases. When the perpetrator is someone that was last seen or knows the victim really, they go out of their way to hide the body. When it's a random kidnapping/rape/murder by a stranger, they usually dump the body along side the road the first chance they get. They usually travel to a different area, abudct, then dump nearby (back roads).

I'd like to speculate that whomever killed Shonda didn't know her very well or at all, and didn't live in that neighborhood.

Did Shonda know
Shorty Poe?

How well did Shonda know Vyncent Hemphill?

Do you think they would have hurt Shonda while TS was with her?

Shonda had to have gotten separated from TS, and that could have been while Shonda was in her car, getting ready to leave.

Would Marvin kill his sister's best friend? That doesn't make sense that a brother would do something that would cause a lifetime of pain for his sister. The person who killed Shonda, didn't have much regard for Tiffany either. This killer didn't just hurt Shonda, but hurt Tiffany as well. The people at the party that knew (and liked) Tiffany, and knew that Tiffany was close to Shonda, probably isn't the killer.

Marvin Antonio Eugene Burkett has not been criminally charged in connection with the disappearance and murder of Shonda Townsend, at this time. That is speculation and rumor. It is a fact that multiple witnesses place M.A.E.B. and Riggin Valley as operating Shonda's vehicle the night (07/04--05/10) that she disappeared. MAEB and Riggin Valley HAVE been interviewed by Law Enforcement in the disappearance of Shonda Townsend. MAEB and Riggin Valley have both been incarcerated in the TDCJ system since those interviews took place, on unrelated criminal offenses. There seems to be a misunderstanding that needs clarified. Shonda is friends not only to Tiffany, but also to MAEB and Riggin Valley as well. Again that goes back to: Friends murder Friends every day. Texas prisons are full of friends who killed friends. This happens numerous times every day all around the United States, this is not a new phenomena. Statistics show a friend is more likely to cause you harm then a stranger.
Marvin Burkett, Riggin Valley, Tiffany Sorrells and Krishonda are all known associates and have been familiar with each other for years. It is possible, even probable Mr. Burkett and Mr. Valley have information concerning the disappearance and murder of Shonda Townsend.

Did the two gentlemen have involvement in Shonda's disappearance--it's possible.
Are these two gentlemen Shonda's unknown assailants, Probably not.
But it is a fact, according to witness testimony, Marvin and Riggin operated Shonda's vehicle the night she disappeared.

You must have just wanted to make a posting? You show how ignorant you are! Nobody has criticized any church. If you had ever spent time in a baptist church you would know that it is proclaimed "Christians are strange and peculiar". Outsiders will never understand the meaning. Being strange and peculiar is a good thing in the eyes of our lord. I am strange and peculiar. I am a christian! This is not criticizing anyone. You really should go to church and pray you learn the meaning. It is a good thing and means well.

Trust me, Those people at Peaster Baptist Church are strange and peculiar! You show your ignorance.

You shouldn't comment on a topic that you are completely ignorant of.
Peculiar means not only “strange” but also “chosen, selected, and unique.” The King James Bible calls Christians peculiar in Titus 2:14 and in 1 Peter 2:9.

I can understand how Shonda might know Marvin through TS, but can you explain how she knows Riggin Valley without using a vague generalization. In other words, back it up with facts or examples.

Aren't most of Shonda's facebook and myspace friends people from Perrin area?

Just like someone said, it's churchy up there. Shonda comes from a church community up north, not the MW drug community.

She obviously wasn't aware of the danger she was in, so that leads me to believe that she doesn't hang out there often (on TS turf in MW). If the theory is true, that TS was using Shonda to see Tim more often, than that would mean TS would travel to Shonda's home in Gibton frequently. We've already seen how TS and Toby chose a lake up by Shonda's home. We've already seen TS play Wii bowling with Tim (cough cough Shelby). TS basically had to DRAG and coerce Shonda onto her, by using 2 bait-and-switches on Shonda the day she was killed to get her to place she wouldn't normally have gone if she knew up front, without the "RATIONALIZATIONS" from TS.

I don't believe TS meant for anything bad to happen to Shonda. It just did. You put a young 19 year old girl from Gibtown, right in the middle of drug dealers and users, and Shonda doesn't sound street smart. She probably didn't even lock her car doors.

That's just my take on it. Please do correct me if I am wrong. My impressions are made from reading her myspace page, and from the last year of witnessing the behavior of those she was last seen with, and by seeing videos of her family. Shonda is not from MW. She's not one of them. She's got her family and Perrin community background.

TS's mom Denna, is friends with a bail bond. Come on! Do I need to compare Denna to Carolyn for you to understand the difference between TS and Shonda, and their upbringings?

The forensics might not get any DNA, but they can get unique fibers from clothing and find people's hair. We shed hair and skin cells constantly. The hair does NOT decompose, not even in drought, rain, sleet or snow. You betcha! The killer/s that carried Shonda's body from the car, had her up against their clothing. Their hair is there. That is as good as a fingerprint and yields some DNA.

Hair Evidence

Maggie Sat


Hair evidence found at crime scenes has helped tremendously in the past with solving many criminal cases. Hair evidence has been used to establish its origin, and whether or not the hair retrieved at the crime scene compares with hair that is known to have come from a particular individual. For example, if the hair found at the crime scene is compared with the hair removed from the suspect and is found to be a match that would give a direct link from the suspect to the crime scene. Although the distinction between animal hair and human hair is easily seen we have to take into account that hairs can be distinguished from one another by their morphological characteristics. Hair comparisons are made with a comparison microscope where the main goal is to match the color, length, and diameter of the hair. Other features that are important are the absence of Cra medulla and the distribution, shape and color intensity of the pigment granules present in the cortex. The presence of hair dye and bleaching can also be distinguished from the natural colors. Hair is class evidence and therefore it is not possible except in very rare cases to definitely say that a particular hair came from a certain individual.

I know this blog is about Shonda, but just wanted to rule out if there were any connections to the recent murders.

December 8, 2011 in the Mineral Wells Index, it says Larry Reyes received 15 year sentence. Because the date is so recent, and there is fighting in the comments on that article, I wonder if there was some kind of fight regarding what happened between Larry Reyes and Berenice (I guess she was under-aged when they dated, but in the eyes of the law, he's a sex offender).
Larry lives down the street from the shootings, and the woman who is listed at living at the address where the shooting occurred, has the last name of "Reyes".

What could these 2 young women have done that was so bad to deserve death in the eyes of their killer?

I think Shonda was killed by a cold hearted psychopath, she was used like an object, then discarded.

Regarding the 2 women shot, the index said they were shot out front. It might by drive-by shooting.

Let me guess. The MWPD is going to say that the missing girl from Grahm is a runaway, and she decided to run away wearing black and green pajama pants. Just like Shonda "ran away" without her car, wearing her lakewater stale swimsuit, and her car found in bad neighborhood with trunk and doors open and stereo stolen. MWPD needs to wake up on the criteria for determining runaway vs. foul play.

God please let these horrible crimes be solved soon!

Not close at all. Highly unlikely these incidents are related. If any two were related, it would be the Graham girl to Shonda....very unlikely though. I still believe Shonda's perps knew her. I'm hoping that the girl who may have been seen at the Dog House is going to show up unharmed. I just can't imagine that she would have come to MW from Graham in her pajamas....and then went to the bar. There must be quite a bit to this story we aren't privy to.

Anonymous said...

The mother of the missing Graham girl says she was last seen in MW with a guy named Spencer. Candice has a friend named Spencer Stevens on her FB page but he is in a relationship with someone and I did not see any of the rif raf mentioned in Shonda's case on his friend's list. Also did not see any of Shonda's so called friends on Candice's friends list either. Reckon LE would have questioned the Spencer from MW on the missing Graham girl's page by now. She seemed very to be very troubled in the days leading up to her going missing. Hope they find her soon and that there are arrests made in the Shonda Townsend case quickly. Can't imagine the pain they are experiencing.

Heres a connection:

Missing girl in Graham - her sister is engaged to a guy in Mineral Wells who is friend with the "riff raff" from Shonda's case.

This girl is 3 months pregnant... would it be normal for her to leave and go hang out in a bar when she is starting a new job the following day?

Sounds like more BS stories same thing happened in Shonda's case.

Police better act swift and not blow this off.

Anonymous said...

This is regarding Candice Shields.

This is all speculation! I just try to use what is known to figure out the unknowns. The unknowns are guesses based upon the known facts. They are just possibilities among many, but would make the most sense based on what is known.

I did some more research and noticed that the newspapers from other counties give more details than the MW Index. In the Graham paper, it says that she was wearing sweat pants, not PJs although, that might be what she slept in.

I have a gut feeling that it was one of her facebook friends. She was sending out distress signals asking for so much help finding a car. She is sending out distress signals, but both sheep and wolves see this. They will try to help her or not (sheep), or take advantage (wolf).

Since she was in the process of trying to find a car, and starting a new job the next day, maybe someone saw that message, texted her and set up an arrangement to show her a car. It was late at night, and maybe she didn't want to wake up her family, so she told them to bring the car by for her to take a look. They may have pulled it into the back alley and she ran out to see it, and that's why she didn't take her purse, wallet, ID, phone or anything with her, because she was just going out to the back gate. If not the alley, she may have taken the back door to go around to the front.

She was trying to buy a car, but I wonder if she had any savings to do that since she didn't have a job.

I'm not trying to be negative here, but objective, and after reading her facebook page, she exhibits some borderline personality traits. I think it's important to find her, because this type of personality can be suicidal or do self-destructive acts (not always on purpose, just poor decisions that end up making things worse).

Anonymous said...

There are similarities between Candice and Shonda. They are both young, attractive females from a small satellite community, and probably unfamiliar with how much more dangerous the people in MW can be.

Candice shows extreme dependency on others. Because of this extreme dependency and her trust in those to help her, she may have blindly trusted someone, just like Shonda did.

I typed that she might be borderline, but I am not 100% sure of that, and only the people who know her can really determine if that's the case. I'm not trying to judge her, just throwing out the possibilities in order to understand what could have happened.

Anonymous said...

I think they should check casinos in Oklahoma for Candice because other missing people have ended up in Las Vegas trying to start a new life. Candice may have tried to hitch a ride up there to "start over". If she did, I fear that whomever picked up her may have harmed her. I base this on her pattern of establishing herself, then re-establishing herself with someone new, or someplace new for what seems like no reason at all for the quick changes. Like I said, I don't know her, and this is something for the family to think about whether this is possible or not. No one deserves to be harmed, no matter what.

Anonymous said...

People don't realize how much traffic goes back and forth between Mineral Wells and Graham lots of people from Graham hang with Mineral Wells people, if Candice had ever hung out at any of the bars in Mineral Wells, she could have possibly known Shondas killer, and not even realized it! From my understanding her grandparents lived very close to a nursing home, maybe she got a ride with someone that was ending there shift, i think they should question the workers at that nursing home,i was once stalked by a residence that lives in that nursing home for 15 yrs. and he's still in his right mind! Another girl i know was stalked by the same man after i moved , he was always leaving strange notes in my car, throwing strange things over the fence, and seen by neighbours standing in my yard after my husband would leave for work at 5 in the morning, he was always watching every move we made, even when we had company, even found out he had been in my house while i was sleeping, caught him window peeping 3 times, and i'm not the only neighbor he peeped on, no telling how many times he peeped that i didn't know about! I'm not saying Shonda and Candices disappearances r for sure related but i would be checking into everything, it's kinda hard to just run off and start over with nothing, no money, no identification r anything, what about the little boy she already had, i just don't think she would just run off and leave him, it seemed like she loved him alot! I don't know, this is just happening way to much, People should be very aware of there surroundings, and who they run with, Still praying for all the family's and these girls!!! There's alot of nuts out there, and you never know where they r going to be!

Regarding Shonda:

I believe she was killed close to where she was last seen alive, then they took the dark back roads to dump her because they didn't want to be caught transporting a dead body.

There had to be witnesses. If they didn't see the actual crime, they were at least aware of who was present, who was outside and who was inside. Who was absent or left at the time that Shonda disappeared?

it's terrible that we still do not have justice for Shonda. Why are we not recieving answers? Some one must know.

Anonymous said...

The person that meticulously disposed of Shonda's body, can't be the same person carelessly driving around in her car.

The killer was sober and smart. The killer took the dark back roads and avoided driving into town. The killer skirted along the outer dark edges of town. The killer went far enough to not have the body connected to himself/herself, but not so far as to increase the time and chances of getting caught with a body. The killer knew Sand Hill was a dead-end. The killer was smart enough to put Shonda out of sight,30 yards off the road and down a ravine. The killer was careful how they disposed of the evidence.

The idiots driving around in Shonda's car were clueless that the owner had just been murdered. They are careless thieves, and probably from the party, and were drunk or high. They drove it on major roads and over a longer distance, up north, and took their time. Being the thieves that they are, they were so bold to steal her stereo (they didn't know it was murder-evidence at the time). Shonda's cell phone went off at 2am, they probably threw it out the window or kept it and tried to sell it. If they knew that Shonda was a murder victim, do you think they'd be caught driving around in her car, and be caught with her phone and stereo?

I don't believe the people that drove Shonda's car are her killers. They are careless stupid, drunk, and high thieves. The person that killed Shonda was careful and meticulous about how they disposed of her body.

The killer was careful to get rid of evidence, the thieves were careless with the evidence (because they didn't know).

The behavior of the killer is almost completely opposite of the behavior of the car thieves.

Killer
vs.
Clueless thieves

careful
vs.
careless

dark, back roads
vs.
city lights, & main roads.

quick, short distance Sand Hill rd
vs.
time-consuming, long distance north

rid of evidence
vs.
caught with evidence

secretive mission/goal
vs.
joy ride in a stolen car to a crack house, probably to trade the car for more crack

Here's the question. How did the car thieves from the party, learn of the car, find the car? Answer is the killer knows the car thieves, was in close proximity with the car thieves that night. The smart killer didn't want to get caught driving around in the car, so made sure that these known thieves knew about it somehow, but didn't mention about the owner being murdered. Like telling a baby where the candy is.

Would we want to give information to the media and compromise the case? Cases must be beyond a shadow of a doubt, especially in this day where the criminal has almost more rights than the victim. I find it very hard to believe there was not one shred of evidence with the car, the remains, or the location of the remains. Justice will be served so the persons responsible for this horrible murder will never again be able to hurt another person. I am confident in forensics and that the fine LE of Palo Pinto County Texas will bring those responsible to the fullest extent of the law.

Candace's remains will probably be discovered sooner or later? Probably a babies daddy or scorned lover? No stranger abduction here either. Friend on friend violence once again.

I will always care about Shonda and keep following her case. My heart is big and I can care about more than one person at a time.

Does Susan have a page on here to talk about Candice Shields? Can you please give a link to it?

Did anyone look at the dirt roads that branch off Finis Road for Candice. The killer would have taken the nearest exit out of town from the abduction, then located the nearest, darkest, untraveled road to dump her. They want to get off the main roads as soon as they can so they don't get caught with a body and charged with murder.

All killers display this same behavior about avoiding towns, lights, and main roads. AND, they have to get rid of body quickly so it is close to where the abduction happened.

That is what Shonda's killers did as well.

It's a pattern, and if you don't believe me, go research all the missing people cases and where the missing persons were last seen, and where the bodies were found. The path between the 2 points is the quickest way out of town to a dark, unused road. Most of the cases are like this.

Anonymous said...

Obviously, Shonda never got to leave the SW part of town.

The party house and TS & Toby's house are on the out skirts of SW side of town. Shonda was found nearby on the SW outskirts. We are talking a very small area that is like the crust on a pie. Imagine that Mineral Wells is a pie. TS and Toby's house is on the SW crust, and Shonda's body was found just further down on the SW crust. They avoided lights and busy streets and cops which are in the middle of the pie...and stuck to the outer crust. They couldn't cross over HW 80 or be seen on it.

She was killed right there where she was last seen, and they took the dark back roads to hide her body. It was someone at, or connected to that party. All of them should be suspects. You know what? No other explanation works.

Marvin and Riggin drove Shonda's vehicle, now if they are not guilty of murder where did they acquire the vehicle? It's simple, Marvin and Riggin know what occurred that night. They are murderers!! They murdered their friend who trusted them. Shonda was stupid for ever being around those two weirdos. They are Killers and cowards!!

Has anyone pressed charges? Isn't there is enough circumstantial evidence to go before a jury. The lawyers will pick apart their stories, detail by detail, and expose any lies.

I think the killer needed to get rid of Shonda's car because it was still parked outside their house, indicating that she never got to leave their residence. They knew that Marvin was a thief, and told him about the car (and he took stereo, because he is a thief).

I suspect that the killer is a female, and getting men to do some of the dirty work of hiding evidence.

Shonda was last seen with women, not men, so in my opinion, it is highly likely that these women did something to her, and used the other connections to hide the evidence. The men may or may not even know that a murder had taken place. They were short a car, remember! They needed a car, and the killer probably "loaned" Shondas to them and didn't tell them anything.

I think she was killed in the driveway and a different vehicle was used to ditch her body. Possibly Toby's or TS car.

I know Shonda's family doesn't want to believe it but, when this does end you will see that Marvin Antonio Eugene Burkett is guilty. Friends do kill friends!

I have read all of the comments posted, but I don't believe Lena is such a good judge of Character when you see that her "SON" Anthony Schmitz was arrested in Palo Pinto County in reference to threatening and harming family members. Good JOB LENA!! Who are you going to blame this on?

Anonymous said...

Why are you attacking Lena and Anthony. There's no need for that. Neither of them are responsible for what happened to Shonda. It sounds like you know them and have personal grievances against them and using this forum as a channel to dish out some hate.

Young, naive, trusting people believe others, and I wonder how many got fooled by the "Wrangler lie".

Just a few words for Anthony if he's still reading these posts. Not sure which part is the lie, "the stereo was in wranglers" or "Marvin doesn't wear wranglers". Just because something is good-sounding to the ears, doesn't mean it's true. Did they get you to feel sorry for them enough that you felt the need to defend them? If so, you were played and used.

Where did all the posters go? There are no posters in any stores or posted anywhere? People are giving up.

I have a question. If Shonda's cellphone was used near Peadenville on early Monday July 5th, 2010 morning hours to place a call to someone, where is the cell phone tower located that received the text to Shonda's mother at approximately 12:15 a.m. that same morning? Where exactly was that tower located? April, do you know?

Anonymous said...

Anonymous i believe they said that tower is between Mineral Wells, and Perrin! I'm not real sure of that, but i believe that's where it is!

Does everyone really think the witnesses who identified Marvin Antonio Eugene Burkett and Riggin Gideon Valley as occupying Shonda's vehicle the early morning hours she disappeared are actually wrong and instead they are victims of false testimony? Do you REALLY believe that happened?

Anonymous said...

Considering both of these PPOS are ex-convicts that tells us they are capable of anything. That's whats wrong with Mineral Wells. There are too many of this type of scum running around. All they have to do is keep a little cash in the lawyers and counties pocket and they get to keep on with their criminal activities with only a few short timeouts in the local State jail.

Ellen Adams said...

Yes, You are correct. But, there is no way that witnesses just happen to be mistaken and incorrectly identified Marvin Antonio Eugene Burkett and Riggin Gideon Valley as occupying Shonda's vehicle. Too many coincidences. They were definitely driving Shonda's vehicle. They are either guilty or have knowledge of Shonda's abduction and murder. The witnesses are not mistaken!

SHONDA WAS FOUND NOT FAR FROM THE LAST PLACE SHE WAS SEEN, I DON'T BELIEVE SHONDA EVER SENT HER MOM A TEXT AT ALL TELLING HER THAT SHE WAS ON HER WAY HOME, AND THE MESSAGE ON THE COMPUTER THAT SAID I GOT THIS, WAS JUST A MESSAGE FROM SOMEONE LETTING SOMEONE ELSE KNOW THAT THEY HAD KILLED HER, AND GOT RID OF HER BODY, SO THERE'S MORE THAN ONE PERSON INVOLVED, SOMEONE ELSE USED SHONDA'S PHONE TO TEXT HER MOM, AND SOMEONE ELSE MADE A COMMENT ON HER FACEBOOK, IT'S NOT THAT HARD TO MESSAGE SOMEONE FROM SOMEONE ELSE'S PHONE, THEY MESSAGED HER FROM THE LOCATION THEY DID SO THEY COULD THROW EVERYONE OFF, AND THEY WOULD SEARCH FOR HER IN THE WRONG PLACE, THAT WAY HOPEFULLY BY THE TIME SHE WAS FOUND ALL EVIDENCE WOULD BE GONE!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE HASN'T BEEN AN ARREST IN THIS CASE, AND I FEEL LIKE IT WILL BE THE SAME WAY WITH CANDICE SHIELDS, IF SOMEONE DID HARM HER SHE WON'T BE FAR FROM WHERE SHE DISAPPEARED, NO ONE IN THERE RIGHT MIND IS GOING TO CARRY ANYONE VERY FAR, AND TAKE A CHANCE ON GETTING PULLED OVER BY A POLICEMAN, ESPECIALLY IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS, BOTH OF THESE CASES SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN SOLVED!!!!

did anyone ever say who the "A" was that shonda was texting? how about matt ahern? iv read and reread the various accounts of the night shonda went missing and not once do i recall anyone mentioning that shonda was with matt ahern. or so thats the story his sister angel has been heard to tell. she says the last time she saw shonda was the night she disappeared and shonda was with matt. "A" could have been for ahern. why doesnt anyone else mention this? did noone know? was that because she was with him after she was last seen by tiffany? didnt he have girl then? so why was shonda with him and could being withhim have gotten her killed?

I've recently been told by people involving Kaitlyn Washburn disappearance that she was with the same people involved in this murder. The name she kept mentioning was Mike McDonald...any idea who this is? Supposedly there is about 3 people involved and she (Kaitlyn) was set-up by a girl in MW to be kidnapped (name unknown).

Anonymous said...

A new rumor I hear is Thomas Lee Clark, Jr. murdered Shonda by choking her to death. The reason for Mr. Clark to murder Shonda is because Shonda would not have sexual intercourse with him after she helped smoke up all of the crack the group had. Marvin Burkett, Riggin Valley, Clay Dalton Neeley and Audie Eugene Couch are said to all be witnesses or participants in disposing of Shonda's body.

Anonymous said...

I heard the FBI knows who did it, but because there were so many mistakes made in the original investigation they can't make an arrest. This just makes me sick! 21,000 is a lot of money to offer for a reward, if only someone who knew needed that money bad enough they could come forward anonymously. All they need is a statement.

"Who Killed Shonda?"

Anonymous said...

It's all starting to unravel!

Anonymous said...

I will make the 1900 posting on this blog by repeating that Marvin Burkett and Riggin Valley are as GUILTY today as they were the early morning hours of July 5th, 2010 when they were witnessed occupying Shonda's vehicle. Denna and Tiffany know it, no matter what they deny. No one made a mistake when they reported Marvin and Riggin in the vehicle. It could be no one else! Mr. Burkett and Mr. Valley are involved in the disappearance and murder of Shonda Townsend. There is no other answer.

Anonymous said...

You know I have questioned myself on this over and over and wonder who else has...
Do you think Shonda knew something that Tiffany never wanted anyone else to know and killed her over it. I mean is Tim really her baby daddy? Did Tiffany do something bad that SHonda found out about? I can't imagine why Tiffany hasn't been questioned by the police more than what she hasn't. Oh wait I get it. When you sleep with the entire town including the police you can get away with it.

Has anyone heard any new news in this case? Did they find out who did it?

Anonymous said...

Why not questions all the people that were interviewed and given lie detector tests. Like Marvin, Riggin, Tiffany, Misherie, Shorty, and many others in that circle of friends. I can almost bet their story is different. I've heard over the last years a different story from Misherie and Tiffany myself. COPS should be all over this. Everyone knows the Sorrell/Farmer family is GUILTY.

Anonymous said...

I've been looking to find some mention of clay neeley in this dissappearence.. Found it!!. How had he not been arrested already for this???

Anonymous said...

Just know that the name Clay Neeley and Shorty Poe are the same person! This crime has been committed by him and his friends and family has helped him cover this up. Beth Neeley, Cindy Poe, Tiffany Sorrells, Mishierie Sorrells, Riggin Valley, Marvin Burkett, Deanna Farmer, & Brian Farmer Sr. This all has been swept under the rug. People high up know this. Big money has been paid to stop them from arresting all the above people for the crime. Shorty it will get back to the right person one day and you will be arrested for this crime you have committed.
