What happened to Shannon Palmer? The Arkansas woman vanished in mid-August, and hasn't been in contact with her loved ones over the course of the three months that have passed without any answers. Was this woman the victim of foul play? Or is she missing under some other circumstances?
Shannon Palmer vanished three months ago
The 33-year-old missing woman's case hasn't been covered much by the mainstream media, which is most likely due to the very few details there are in this case. What is known, is that Shannon was last seen seen with a man named Jeremy Taylor.
According to the Missing woman's sister, Christy Hinklin, Jeremy is a longtime family friend.
Christy says that she last saw her sister, and Jeremy, on the morning of August 10, the day she was last seen. She says that Shannon had gone to pick Jeremy up, before the duo went to her house at around 10:00 a.m. The woman says that an ex-girlfriend of Jeremy's later saw the duo at around 4:00 in the afternoon. After that, Palmer wasn't seen again.
Bizarre behavior, but no arrests
Christy Hinklin says that Jeremy Taylor was spotted by farm workers not long after he and Shannon were seen by his ex-girlfriend. When they shouted at him (as he was evidently in an area restricted to the public), he allegedly hid from them.
It wasn't until the following day that Jeremy Taylor resurfaced, wearing nothing but a pair of boxer shorts.
According to Jeremy, he and Shannon were together when he "passed out," but when he woke up, she was gone. The search for her, through the woods, yielded personal items that belonged to both Jeremy Taylor and Shannon Palmer.
Investigators have reportedly interrogated Jeremy Taylor, and administered three separate polygraph tests. The missing woman's sister says that he passed all three tests. Furthermore, the missing woman's husband has also passed at least one polygraph test. Even though there have been no arrests in the search for the Arkansas woman, her sister is holding onto hope that she will find her.
"To me, that's my sister and I'm looking for her," Christy said during our interview.
