of a world war ii veteran back? it s important to their families. i say, she is my hero, she is our daughter. we deserve to have her remains. he could draw up. he could lead people to wherever the site is, presumably. yes. but he refuses to. i think it s because there are other bodies there. if it weren t for the events after that softball guy, back in 1994, shannon would be sharing her life with loved ones. like one time best friend, and. we would ve been at each other s weddings. i m sure that we would ve been at each other s bridal showers, baby showers. there s only so many friends in life that you stay in close touch with over a lifetime. shannon would ve been one of those. monika has a keepsake that ensures that shannon is with
effort to clean the car? up yes. shannon s parents felt certain that he had kidnapped their daughter. and hope he d be arrested. but days turned to weeks. weeks two months, with no resolution. they came to realize the unbearable, they would never see her again. photographing others had becomes too painful for lewis and a bond. is it difficult that you re in the business of gathering intimate memories for families and yet not being able to do the same for your child? yes i was discouraged from that. we tried one, and she was crying, and she usually operates my camera in the back of the church. too close? i went back to check and she was crying. and i said that s not fair to the bride and groom, it s not fair to us. so that was the last couple of weddings that i had. i finish them, and never booked another one again.
having a tournament with 25 teams. you re talking about a lot of people. every single one of the people that was there was questioned. that took us to probably 4 to 500 interviews that were done. out of those hundreds of interviews, investigators were told a curious story about one person in particular, an umpire. a lot of the players in the game were concerned that his umpire method wasn t normal. he didn t pay attention to a lot of balls that were being thrown. his objects of affection at that time was shannon, who was behind home plate, where he was calling the game and she was keeping score that day. so he s checking out shannon, the ball players are saying. yes. he was more interested in watching shad and then he wasn t calling the softball game. police learned his name was bush hinton. here you see on camera, getting ready for the game. he was a member of a church, where his dad was a pastor. he was married and had a job as an airline maintenance
