Shanna Peoples, 19, went missing on September 08, 2011 from Geneva County, Alabama, USA. Her family had a somber Thanksgiving in which an empty chair sat that normally would be occupied by her. Peoples’s mother, Windy McKee, says “Thanksgiving was not the same. We really had nothing to celebrate except to pray and ask that whomever is holding our daughter, to please let her go.”
Peoples’s stepfather, Elvis McKee, said “Shanna is a wonderful young woman but she is extremely vulnerable and we believe that someone is either holding her against her will, or taking full advantage of her childlike 12-14 year old mentality. We only want her home where she is safe and so that when she does go out we know who she is with and what their intentions are with our daughter.” Peoples also is in need of required medication that has not been filled, nor has she made any attempts to give a location to receive her social security checks, which are being held for her at the Social Security Office.
Her parents are on a fixed income and have reached out to LostNMissing Inc, and KlaasKids, both nonprofit organizations that assist families of missing persons, to help them locate their daughter. Not a day goes by that they are not out searching, driving up and down streets and talking to people from neighborhood to neighborhood in their search for Peoples. “It’s like she just disappeared,” Elvis said. “Initially she befriended an adult male who is nearly 50 years old. We were not happy about that,” said Peoples’s mom, “because she is a young woman and needs to associate with those around her own age. He was also quite bossy to her.” Elvis further adds, “While we know the last sighting was at his home, we do not know if someone may have befriended Shanna, one of his friends perhaps?” If that is the case, Peoples could be anywhere as he is reported to have friends with ties in Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee and even Missouri. “At this point we are reaching out to the entire United States. Shanna Peoples is easy to spot. She is nearly six-feet tall and that is unusual for a girl.” Elvis said.
