It seems like the community is afraid to come forward. They 'don't want to get involved' or they just fear for themselves and families because there is a real danger of retaliation is cases like these. So sad the killer seems to be just walking free living life while Shuntrel doesn't get that luxury.

Hey, I can't guarantee this will make a difference. But I know with one of the cases I'm on , we be urging people to please contact the local Crime stoppers. For a myriad of reasons, everyone may not be comfortable going to police with info. But I do know that Crime stoppers will accept anonymous tips. Isn't it sad how an entire community can literally outnumber 1 Killer but still not realize if they simply unite to hold the killer accountable, then the case will be solved? I do not believe in cold cases. There is no such thing. If I was you, I would post the local Crime stoppers info. Someone may have the integrity to come forward. Even small details matter.
