KITCHENER The Brantford Police Service is offering a $10,000 reward for any information on the death of a woman last March. Shannon MacDougall was found dead inside a home on Mintern Avenue on March 11, 2020. In a news release, police said they started investigating the circumstances of her death immediately and received additional information in June 2020 that allowed the investigation to move forward. On Nov. 30, 2020, officials said they were investigating MacDougall s death as a homicide. Although Shannon is gone she has never been forgotten. Shannon was a mother to two children, a friend, a loved sister, and a daughter to a grieving mother. I believe there are people in the community that can help solve Shannon’s murder and I am asking them for their assistance, Det. Ryan Groen said in a news release.
I felt like: Wow, if I had known this sooner, I could have been getting more information in the beginning and not eight months later, where I feel like some of this information is now lost.

Police found MacDougall, 37, dead at her home while performing a wellness check on March 11. When they broke the news to her family, Bates says they indicated she could have died of suicide, or an accidental overdose. (MacDougall previously had a problem with drug use, but her sister doesn t believe it could be a factor in her death.)
