Thanks So Much for doing the video....The whole time the state police was more interested in a DWI arrest than us telling him that Shane was missing...There was cars that passed even a young couple who Talked to Shane before the 911 caller got on the site but after that Shane was gone...Thanks so Much...KENNY FELL Shane's Uncle......
Thanks for the additional info Kenny. This is one of the toughest cases I've covered. There's just so little to go on. Wishing you and the family all the best, and some type of resolution here.
I seriously hate saying this but...is it possible he was hit by a passing car after his accident and they moved him elsewhere? Or someone stopped to render aid, picked him up and Shane succumbed to injuries in their vehicle and they panicked and possibly placed his body elsewhere? I know this is 2 years old it's the first time I'm seeing this but it may be worth it to broaden the search area....possibly trace a route to the nearest hospital and look along the road ways along that route/routes?
@@alyssamathews7492 I think that's what happened. Someone panicked and was afraid of being charged with vehicular homicide so they took his body somewhere and buried it.
I noticed there was a lot of truckers going past during the footage, could it be that, Fell was struck by a vehicle ACCIDENTALLY whilst trying to flag down some help, and the individual responsible took his body out of fear/panic.. Just a thought. :)
I too wonder why more than 1 case revolve around car accidents and leaving the scene, I guess until it happens to you, it's hard to really know how one reacts in a case like this. I'm so glad that this series exist and that one day, thanks to your hard work (all involved) someone will come home :)
Thank you for the work you do. I live in Marrero, La. This family is suffering and has been suffering for years! I continue to pray for Shane and his family.
There is a missing woman in my area by the name of Devona Rothrock who has been missing since 2014 and as far as I can tell there has never been any media coverage of her case. Her son came home from school one day and she was gone and has not been heard from since. Maybe you could feature her on your show.
I live about 45 minutes from marrero and I've been following this case. Very sad it breaks my heart seeing his mother and family suffering . I'll share this video hopefully someone knows something.
It probably is therapeutic and I feel like a bitch saying this, but releasing balloons actually isn't a great idea because after they pop the broken materials falls it can really harm wildlife. Of course I do hope more attention is brought to this case, very bizarre why he would walk off when he had help on the way and with only one shoe. Doesn't seem like it would have been willingly
Absolutely. I want him found, but all lives are important, and our ecosystem is on the brink of failing. Let's not put Mylar into the atmosphere please...
Once, I was driving from San Francisco to Sacramento (a 1.5hr to 2hr drive) and while I was driving, my tire exploded. I got over 4 lanes and had to park on the side of the freeway. I was too far from an exit to watch. I called my mom over and over and over. i was waiting in my car, but every time a car went by, it would shake the crap out of my tiny celica, so I decided to get out of the car and wait until maybe someone came by to help. someone did, eventually. thankfully that someone turned out to be a cop, about an hour after my tire exploded. he put my spare on for me, and I went about my way home. that could have ended horribly. thanks john, for telling people to say in their cars. it's so important.
The security guy that called 911 said the windshield wipers were going when he saw the wrecked car...but the keys were never found. How is that possible? I have never had a car that had wipers that worked without the keys in the ignition. That security guy is my guess. His mom said he sounded drunk or confused in the 911 call.
Such a sad case! I think if he was on foot walking why would it be so hard to find him if he brother and police was there 20 mins later. I cannot see how far he could get on foot probably in shocked without a shoe, unless he lost his memory sometimes after his brother talked to him and just disappearing. I really have to wonder after seeing the brother's video how it was in that area, he either got picked up by the wrong person or got hit by a car.
I know of a really old case out of Tennessee. Leanne Greene back in 1987. Sad case with no resolution. The police have theories and a possible suspect, but they never found her. This one is somewhat similar as she disappeared from a broken down vehicle she and her brother were riding in. www.charleyproject.org/cases/g/green_martha.html
As of today, there are NO updates. Media has stopped at this point, basically since this video. One thing not mentioned, he made roses and flowers out of paper, long leaves, anything. If anyone sees someone making these, please look at his face. Remember his mole. He may not know who he is. He could still be here in New Orleans, or any city at this point. If you think you see anyone resembling him, contact Brett Fell any time, day or night as well as the police department. You can find his info on Facebook.
New subscriber to your channel. Hoping you add the mysterious disappearance of Asha Degree to your list. This beautiful child disappeared in 2000, at the age of 9 from North Carolina.
He isn't in the river on the other side of the levee the water is hundreds of feet away and there is high grass and trees before you get to water the river was low at the time
June is a warm time of the year in the south. Could a gator have gotten him? Middle of the night, he's bleeding and by a levy, wondering around disoriented. No matter who you are after a wreck there is a degree of disorientation. I wonder if a gator could have smelled that and got him. They hide in the mud too and that would explain his shoe in the mud. He would have been taken into the water and pinned under a log or something for later. There's a good chance there would be no remains.
Christy Stracener the accident happened just off of a suburban area. Gators and other wildlife are highly unlikely in that area. The river was in flood stage when the accident happened, and my personal speculation is that he climbed up the levee to check out the river and fell in. With the high water and fast current, it would not have been survivable, even for a strong swimmer.
I'm thinking on those lines as well. A gator being out, especially knowing he was hurt, that gator would pick up on that for sure. When I saw the map, I had a bad feeling that a gator had got him. Anything is possible. He could be living somewhere with no memory or one that is confused. A very sad story, hope one day this family will be reunited with their missing loved- one.
Yeah I think this is technically the 4th Searchlight where a car has been abandoned. That connection definitely makes you think... With the shoe found - I notice you say it was found 'in the mud'. Do you know if it was in a state where it was deep in mud to the point where possibly Shane had to take his foot out of it to get his leg free? Or it was found on top (loss) in a muddy area? I notice that in the video by his brother, he says that the corner can be dangerous "at night", so presumably the accident took place at night? If so I can imagine Shane leaving his shoe behind if it is stuck in mud. But if it wasn't stuck then that may suggest something more sinister may have happened. Also I wonder what the street lighting is like in that area? It looks out of the way and pretty industrial. So it is possible it could have been pitch black out there. With the river so close by and the potential of other cars possibly hitting someone that is trying to wave them down night, visibility could have played a major part in the disappearance (I hate speculating about things like this, but just giving my two cents). Great video, John! These Searchlight episodes are always heartbreaking, so great work on publicising these cases.
+Veggie Gamer I do believe it was "stuck" and not just on top of the mud. Depending on the mindset/shock of Shane, he might have not even been aware that he pulled his foot out of it initially. I know the footage is from the day time, but I don't see any light posts on that bend, and I know one of those industrial sites is not operating, so they likely wouldn't be lighting up that lot either. Pretty dangerous spot in my opinion.
+GeekenDorx That road is very dark at night. extremely dangerous bend. hardly any traffic after business hours. if he lost his shoe in the muddy bank he quite possibly wouldn't be able to locate it. he would have had to walk a stretch(maybe a mile or so)to get to any houses.
This sounds like a missing 411 case! They always involve shoes. Brainscratch, look into David Paulides Missing 411. A lot of info on these strange missing people cases.
I really wonder what they would find. Paulides doesn't want to say what he thinks is going on. I think John would be willing to tell if he could figure it out but it might be life changing for everyone.
He doesn't speculate at all because once he does(and no one really knows) all the kooks will come out of the woodwork. He really wants to make people aware of the phenomenon.
+Kimberly Greenland I heard David say recently that they were getting close to understanding the phenomene (sp?) which really surprised me. The way he said it was like lawyer speak, it was odd. I've camped all through the States and Canada and only once had a creepy feeling at a river with tons of boulders. I was truly uneasy. I'm very curious to know what is going on. My ex seems addicted to this place when there's a million spots to fish around Hinton.
+Kimberly Greenland Hi I went through my history and its either Missing 411 David Paulides A Sobering...from Paranormal Central or New David Paulides Mind Bending Tales from Daniel Christopherson. I think it was near to the end of one of these talks. Sorry I don't know how to send links. Hope you find it.
Kas it seems to be a lag on so many investigations, where they assume that it’s not serious. We all know time is of the essence. Critical evidence is lost. I have often wondered if it wouldn’t be more efficient to go ahead and brings the dogs out on the beginning. They talk so much about the cost of the resources but how much of that would be lowered, if we brought the dogs out within 24 hours versus 4 days to 6months.... after exhausting ground searches, helicopter searches etc. I understand there are processes and guidelines but this has also been a big impairment to many investigations. It needs to be evaluated and included in the initial search. In my opinion.
I also wondered why not stay on the phone with him until he or the police arrived? Hopefully seeing these cases people will have the forethought to keep the injured party on the line until they are sure help has arrived.
Sadly there is not that ultimate "stay in the car" solution - if you have an accident in a dangerous spot, chances are there are more vehicles to drive by. If they don't see your car, they might as well crash into it and that would not be that good either... Don't know about the US, but here in Germany it's something you learn very early in driving schools: If you had an accident and you are able to do so, get yourself out of the danger zone as fast as possible. :-/
+celynn I can see your point, however it might have been worse if he was struck outside of the vehicle. That actually makes an interesting theory on this case.
+GeekenDorx It's certainly possible that you'd have to get out of your car after an accident, but even under those circumstances you should never walk away from the scene. Get out of the danger zone and then wait there until police arrive.
EDIT - *POSSIBLY IMPORTANT INFORMATION* I read a cracked article written by a woman who had went missing. In the article she explained how she'd had a mental breakdown of some sort, and was taken to a mental hospital. Due to this she suddenly became *NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND*. Although it was a "cracked" article which is known for it's comedic style, I believe this is important. Source: (www.cracked.com/article_21960_5-strange-realities-being-missing-person.html) ------------------------------------- The brother and police arrived at the scene of the accident within 20 minutes, however, this doesn't go to say that Shane wasn't tending to injuries for 10+ minutes before police and the brother were alerted about the accident in the first place. The content of the phone call is quite important. Were there sounds of cars going by? How distant did they sound? Did he state he was waiting for help at the car? Did he state he was waiting for help at all? Could he have been walking while on the phone? Could he have been in someone else's car at the time? Was anyone else's voice heard? What did they say? Did he say anything which could be linked to his whereabouts in the short term? (It could be indirect, such as; "Ahh my phone is broke again" - which could link to him having went to a phone repair shop, maybe the one he had went to before).
At night, next to the Mississippi, not good, lost his shoe. From the wreck it's a long walk either way but if he's confused he could of walked right into the Mississippi, I would like to know how fast the police estimated his speed, and the car flipping and coming to a stop, would be a very hard hit, he might of felt fine right after, but then later feels lost and panics. Maybe some joggers on the trail that night remember something.
After reading the comments, apparently a couple showed up and talked to him, then another person who immediately calls 911, Shane runs off, problem is, there is only one way to run and that is towards the river, it's dark and he may be drunk, trying to navigate the tree line next to the Mississippi would be tough.
John, have you ever considered doing reruns/reuploads of your older BrainScratch SearchLight episodes when you're out for vacation/holiday affairs? Some of your newer audience members may not have seen episodes like this one that are going on 3 years old. And it would be really nice for people like me who are happy for you when you get some r&r but also want you to hurry on back to us. You could provide a new introduction and a conclusion with updates on the case or fundraising efforts if there are any. Just a thought. Keep up the great work!
I hope and pray this family gets some answers. Let me say this, I was in a very serious accident that put me in the hospital two months. I could not tell you anything about that accident. I do not even remember that whole day of the accident, however I was in such shock I told people helping I wanted to walk home and to let me up. My femur was crushed and leg had shrunk half the size. I wonder if I would have left the scene or tried to if nobody was there holding me back??I was told I was carrying on conversation until I was taken off. I do not remember any of this. I wonder if he wondered off and had life threatening internal injuries. I just do not see anyone taking an injured man. I hope this family find peace and closure
This is really weird. By that video of where the crash happened there seems to be a decent flow of traffic. You would think there would of been some cars passing by at or after the time of the crash. Also there are like warehouse buildings in the back. There would be some degree of light coming from light fixtures on the buildings. In the twenty minutes between the call and the police arriving to me some one must have driven by. Did they check the ping of the phone? I think the memory loss theory is a good one but you'd think he would of still be in the area, how far could one possibly get on foot in the night. Also if the area was muddy there is a greater chance of footprints etc left behind. If there was a potential tussle between him and another individual or gator there would be some degree of evidence on the mud, or potential traces of blood. Really is a mysterious case. Times like this I really wish some of the brain scratch community was on the scene within the hour.
Would you dump a truckload of toxic waste into a lake in memory of a loved one? Launching balloons has the same devastating effect on the environment and animals! It’s absolutely terrible. I really feel for Shane and all the other families, but deliberately polluting without any care or thought for the outcome (causing harm to all kinds of animals and habitats) is not the way to do it. Why not plant trees instead?! I’m sure the family doesn’t mean to do harm, but hearing that they do this repeatedly breaks my heart! It’s bad enough that people are missing, possibly suffering or killed. How can we then pass on more suffering and death, “in their honor”? To me that is massively disrespectful to the missing person/people. I know that isn’t the intent, but I wish people could see the big picture and think about more than one singular person.
Wow, I spend a lot of my time in the part of town where he went missing and I've never heard of this case... This hits close to home (literally) and I'm glad I'm now aware of a missing person that lives not far from me :/
+GeekenDorx come to find out, one of my best friends and her family met the Fell family after his disappearance. he disappeared close to her parents church (they live in Marrero) and there were mobs of people trying to find him at the time, and especially searched the river. it's so sad that he's still missing but I'm hopeful that he might be alive somewhere
John your videos never cease to amaze me!!! I've seen some of the comments, and I have to agree with some of them. if my brother called me and told me he had been involved in a car accident I would stay on the phone until I arrived or until I at least knew law enforcement were on the scene. we all have our own theories I'm sure but I really think an animal had him.
Could you cover the Brian Lee Barrett case? He went missing from Milaca, MN on June 6th, 1995. He was last seen by his uncle in the early morning. His truck was found abandoned in a field in the same county later that day. It never gets any media coverage and something about the case haunts me.
I don't know about people staying at their car until law enforcement arrive, it must be terrifying under the shock and stress of a car crash I don't blame people for wandering off, concussion/memory loss is really terrifying and its what makes these cases so tough to take, these poor people are not sure whats going on and don't know what to do.
Man that's crazy how many people that missing this way. you'd think where so many people go missing like this they would make it requirement to get your license that you have to sit through a safety course covering things like this and what to do if your car goes over a bridge into the water and in case of a fire etc.. but its unfortunate that people go missing in this type of situation especially since it might have been prevented just by information..
John, I totally agree & also urge everyone to ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS stay with the vehicle. It is easier for 1st responders to locate a several thousand pound vehicle, then to locate a 100 or 200 lb person. It would be like losing your car keys, you look around the house forever, but if your keys were attached to a gallon of water, you would find them quickly in the house. The vehicle is larger in size, larger in a thermal image(if needed to search by thermal) & humans look like dots from the sky(if areal search needs to be done). We all LOVE Brain Scratch, but non of us want to be featured on Brain Scratch....THANKS JOHN For All You Do My Friend, keep it up.
strange case ...Even if he wasn't hurt he'd have been shook up....And his brother and the Police arrived 20 minutes later....How far could he have walked in 2o minutes.....Some one must have picked him up
was there any quick sand...as here in mo. we have it by some of or rivers.....some one stated river low...at that time... 100 feet away is close by...i would of stayed on phone with him...

I’m gonna tell y’all what happened. This guy obviously had a few drinks and it was reported he was way out of his normal route for going home to avoid a Dwi checkpoint that was reportedly in the area. I think after the accident between the couple in the pt cruiser and seeing the security guard he panicked,thought someone was gonna call the cops and he was gonna get popped for a dui. He calls his brother to see if he’s still coming so he goes over that levy to hide and winds up in the strong currents of the mighty Mississippi. Was it a physical killer? No. Did he hit his head so hard that he wondering amisoly through homeless camps? No
Hello. I have recently contacted you on a story very like this. It's involves the disappearance of a high school friend. I sent it to the email you gave me on one of these posts. I know you are very busy I hope you get a chance to read it soon. Thank you
Looking for updates on 26th of December 2022.. there's none. A couple new articles, some new videos or podcast episodes. Looking at the Facebook page, the last update is from 2020 and they had no leads, evidence etc. I can't verify if they still use the fb page at all, but they used to check pictures etc people send of potential matches.
Just a hunch but I'm guessing he was sippin' on grandma's old cough medicine (booze) and rolled his car into that ditch...He was probably looking to escape law enforcement and got a ride from a passerby...I think the person or person who picked him up was the wrong crowd and did something terrible to him.
Hi, I live about 3 min from the crash scene. The brother is absolutely correct about that curve, it's dangerous at night and the day too. Many cross over into the other lane making this curve. The lighting is poor at best, the large warehouse you see in the back is empty if not empty , then rarely of use. It's really scary driving this part of River road at night. I won't drive it anymore. Not alone. I've never seen Gators in this area, my thoughts are, someone hit Shane not seeing him. And took him. I really hope this family gets answers, this case has bothered me to my core, I still think of him Everytime I pass this scene.
I was on this case when it first happened something wack with the bros comments in regs to him calling and two things that he said that were different I think its poss he helped him flee or something else here was it him actually in the car theres lots of things um not sure if the vid thats gone was something i pointed out he said vs what was said on the ol website I haven't looked in years and when I went to check at a later time stuff was gone so I would have to do a deep archive to find that again and not tonight but I wanted to point out exactly what it was but you'll notice the bro randomly calls him after this inncident just additional facts to look at other possibilities here cuz usally these cold cases the story line is bogus ya see helpfindshanefell.com/ but I'm able to go into the site ruclips.net/video/PSPeRGpFLng/видео.html that clip ok here it is "His brother, Brett Fell, found Fell's shoe in the mud near the wrecked car after his brother called to tell him about the crash 20 minutes after it happened and to report that he was OK." perhaps its just the way its written but its funky It will leave you going who called who why is he last person to say he randomly called him after crash and finds his shoe then was 20 mins away too (I think thats what it was within a small time frame driving there allegedly) It makes more sense shane called him but no in the clip he says he randomly called him right after it so that part may have been a writers goof or what idk but it stuck with me for yrs thinking ok wait a second
Sometimes when siblings are close they can sense when the other is in danger. My sister popped into my mind one night and I called her and she had just been robbed.🌸
came across this alate. But as someone who was in a car that flipped, i can say shock make stupid things seem logical. So it's entierly possible, he sober, did something weridly out of character or illogical.
The whole episode is here at the links - the Unexplained - Ep 1 S 1. I read about this case awhile back and it is creepy. So many things could have happened and I get the feeling it is not a good ending on this one. www.watchseries.li/episode/The_Unexplained_s1_e1.html
I live in this Area where he went missing he has still haven't been found yet Really strange disappearance I think someone picked him up and he left the scene with that person if he got out the car river road is a busy intersection thats extends all the way into lulling and further into the state like their is a bridge u can get on to get too baton rouge all from that 1 road
When I first heard about this, I thought he was probably struck by another car after exiting his, but youd think his body or some sign of it would be found...
I've paid attention to the facts presented here. Please, don't take this wrong, especially family members. I'm drawn to the fact that Shane studied jewelry making. I did too. I'd say 9 out of 10 guys in the classes were gay. Could this be true of Shane? And if so, could he have ended up in a gay male community somewhere, like the old quarter in New Orleans? Perhaps with loss of memory? Perhaps being taken advantage of? Of course the fact that his bank account hasn't been accessed since the accident is sobering. This indicates he may have passed away. But maybe my suggestion rates a look. Hope he turns up. It is SO aggravating that a person can just disappear.
What about somebody forcing the accident, and he coming out from the accident to argue with that person angry enough, but getting placed at gun point and taken away against his own will
I went to visit my parents in Louisiana in April. I drove by this scene. This was a BAD AREA. I felt uncomfortable driving in most of marrero. Everyone local definitely believes it was gang related as far as I know. Apparently my step sister knew him too. Sad.
Marrero isn’t that bad. There’s no gangs . Just a couple of hoods (subdivisions) that you don’t go in. They are not seeking people outside of the hood. With that being said he was miles away from “the fellas”. Not a common thing for car wreck victims to be preyed upon. Jefferson parish in 2011 with a population of 430,000 people had 25 murders.
Could He Have been trying to wave down a vehicle and hit, knocking him out of his shoe. That's a common occurrence. Not sure shoe location. Blood wouldn't have to be present. Could be internal damage. Could have tried to rush him to help and he died and panacked. Or was drunk or panicked immediately.
To me it’s seems like he was picked up by someone. Maybe saw the cops were coming and panicked and got in the car with someone, and meet with foul play. I also find the security guard shady not wanting to talk to the family or continue talking to the police. He wasn’t found in the water. Any new updates ?
I still wish you could do a video on the three missing girls from Fort Worth, Tx. It's an old case from 1974 but there has been very little coverage of it. Mostly just a little bit of local coverage but nothing national. But the family is still very active in looking for them. Just this last weekend they dragged a couple cars out of the local lake looking for evidence. Sadly, they didn't find any. Just shows how invested the families STILL ARE after 4 decades and it breaks my heart for them. These girls went Christmas shopping and never returned home. There have been very few clues or tips as to what may have happened to them. I am the one who created the wikipedia article on them. They didn't even have that. They have a group on Facebook though.
I may have mentioned this before, I watch a lot of this type of shows and videos so it's difficult for me to remember. Have you ever heard of Lisa Stone? She went missing from her home in Dallas, TX in June of 2010 and hasn't been see since. Her partner of 15 years lied repeatedly about her whereabouts to friends and authorities and has since moved out of state. There was an episode of 48 Hours Mystery called The Facebook Detectives regarding her case. The partner was seen by a friend of Lisa's driving Lisa's car, pulling up to a dumpster behind a convenience store and throwing things from the trunk of the car into the dumpster. Upon examination it was discovered that the items she threw away were Lisa's personal belongings such as her birth certificate, family bibles, family photos, etc. Until confronted with these items the Dallas Police Department had closed the case, even going so far as to tell one of her friends that he was not going to lose his job over this case and told her not to call back. I'm sorry this is so long but there is much more information that I haven't mentioned. There is at least one Facebook page and several news stories regarding her case if you would be interested in checking into it.
The fact that Shane was speaking lucidly to his brother after the accident does not preclude the possibility of brain injury. My father was in a very serious van wreck with a semi, in which his head was slammed into the steering column. He was cleared by doctors. No one saw the slow bleed causing serious brain damage. It took 6 months to manifest itself, and the effects were permanent. So head injuries can be instantaneous, slow-motion, or somewhere in between. Once the adrenaline wore off and shock set in, anything could’ve happened.
Crazy. I drive by this site 2-4 times a day. Can’t believe it’s been 7 years already. This is an area between the Mississippi River and mostly industrial area with small residential pockets. It’s a pretty off place from anything open at night. I still hope he’s alive somehow out there.
I live in Texas and on our driver's licenses there is a number to call for help in an accident. I would also think calling 911 or the state highway patrol is a good idea. I assume in some cases people aren't getting authorities involved because they're drinking or have warrants out or unpaid tickets or whatever. Like you said, the trouble with the law if you stay is a lot less than becoming a "missing" statistic. Good video!
This case is bizzare... If this involved a female instead of a male, I would consider an abduction. But since it's a guy, that seems unlikely. Also, since he talked to his brother right after the accident, it seems less likely that he was really confused and wandered off. Unless it took a little bit for his brain to be affected? I really don't know how that works.
Just have to say it. I love this channel and particularly this type of video. Thanks John for bringing a renewed sense of acknowledgement to these cases.
You should do a video on Jason Lee Armstrong. I went the website charley project and the first one that came up was that. I decided to look it up and there were basically no news articles on it except one from awhile ago. And I looked on RUclips and there's no videos on here. It would be cool if you completely focused on cases that no one really talked about
We are seeing too many of these type disappearances. It is truly heartbreaking. I would like to see more of them staying on the phone until help arrives, if at all possible. Thank you, John, for covering these for the families. I have never heard of so many of these. It also educates us on a deeper level for our own safety.
I know a lot of people here think he has been killed by a gator / animal, but I actually have hope that he is still alive. He had to have been in a state of shock after this accident (even if he did sound coherent on the phone) and he could likely have suffered a head injury. He could be wandering around out there somewhere with amnesia, maybe absorbed into the homeless population. I hope his family gets some answers soon, one way or another.
you are doing a great thing. there is a guy missing from my area his name is Josh Adams Jefferson Georgia. I actually went to school with his sister. could you please just look at the case. thank you for what u do
I've noticed that speculation of intoxication or other reasons the person may fear getting in trouble for contributing to the person leaving the scene but shock and confusion can really cause the person to have odd thoughts and behaviors following an accident.
The whole abandoned car thing is really creepy. The area where this happened is just outside of New Orleans. The road where it happened is narrow, ill-lit, winding in unexpected places, generally has no shoulder, and is subject to heavy industrial traffic, and moderate residential traffic. I have driven past the site many times. It is also subject to frequent rains, and very dense fogs. Crashes are frequent, and sometimes horrific. But it is not isolated. Shane would have been able to walk easily to someone's home or small bars and convenience stores for help. I suspect he fell afoul of someone who took advantage of his state of mind, and possible shock and injuries. It is also possible that he may have been hit by a passing vehicle as he walked along the road. If a hit-and-run occurred, his body may have been disposed of in a panic. I doubt he is still alive. It is right by the Mississippi River, and would not be the first time a body ended up there. He could even have gotten disoriented from a bump on the head, and fallen in the river. P.S. I have a suggestion for a future spotlight. Myra Davis, now about 4, disappeared from her home in Camden Mississippi. The Clarion Ledger newspaper has published an excellent timeline of events before and after her disappearance. No evidence has been found of her at all. Police believe she was abducted by an opportunist kidnapper who just happened to be in the right place to take advantage of the confusion ensuing when her mother dropped her at the front yard and told her to go inside, then ran a quick errand. Her dad was inside changing the baby, and didn't realize Myra was even there. So no one even knew she was gone for a little while. It's a very interesting and pretty well documented case.
+GeekenDorx you are most welcome! Keep up the good work, this series is definitely your best. And I do believe keeping things like these in the public eye sometimes elicits a tip that wouldn't have happened otherwise.
This guy was picked up by someone in order to dodge the cops and a DWI.He was either killed by this person or overdosed. The other possibility is that he has amnesia and is living among the homeless
If he had been drinking or received an injury causing confusion it is very possible he made his way to the river bank, then slipped or got in to the water not realizing the strength of the river. The water is cold and causes hypothermia very quickly. If someone snatched him most likely his credit cards and phone would have revealed something eventually. Very, very tragic story.
+howiwatchvideos in June or anytime at night all water is cold, go try it go jump in a river at night and see how long you are in there before you get cold, come on get your shit together.
seems to me that some deranged person looking for a victim was either listening to police scanner or perhaps had a CB in a truck, how the hell does someone dissapear without a trace in 20 minutes time? bizarre.

Imagine one day someone who is missing could be actually found because of this series :)
+Lukas T That would be amazing! :)
That would be so amazing... thats y i watch shows like these i would not do it for the fame just because its the right thing 2 do!!!
+Lukas T it shall happen
His last video ended up with a woman being found 💗
this is everyones hope, some more then others...
Thanks everybody for keeping Shane's Face & name out there.......Somebody one day will come forward...Till then we keep searching ....Kenny Fell
Thank you Kenny, and keep that hope and faith strong with the family. We're all hoping Shane will be found and return home.
Folks like me are still praying for Shane. My thoughts and deepest sympathies are with you, your mom, and the rest of your family, Kenny. 🙏
Thanks So Much for doing the video....The whole time the state police was more interested in a DWI arrest than us telling him that Shane was missing...There was cars that passed even a young couple who Talked to Shane before the 911 caller got on the site but after that Shane was gone...Thanks so Much...KENNY FELL Shane's Uncle......
Thanks for the additional info Kenny. This is one of the toughest cases I've covered. There's just so little to go on. Wishing you and the family all the best, and some type of resolution here.
I seriously hate saying this but...is it possible he was hit by a passing car after his accident and they moved him elsewhere? Or someone stopped to render aid, picked him up and Shane succumbed to injuries in their vehicle and they panicked and possibly placed his body elsewhere? I know this is 2 years old it's the first time I'm seeing this but it may be worth it to broaden the search area....possibly trace a route to the nearest hospital and look along the road ways along that route/routes?
@@alyssamathews7492 I think that's what happened. Someone panicked and was afraid of being charged with vehicular homicide so they took his body somewhere and buried it.
I noticed there was a lot of truckers going past during the footage, could it be that, Fell was struck by a vehicle ACCIDENTALLY whilst trying to flag down some help, and the individual responsible took his body out of fear/panic.. Just a thought. :)
Very good theory! Certainly a possibility.. thought that may have left some trace evidence.. possibly blood on the ground and maybe personal items?
@@LordanARTS That could explain why one shoe was left behind.
Im wondering if someone saw him walking and picked him up?
I too wonder why more than 1 case revolve around car accidents and leaving the scene, I guess until it happens to you, it's hard to really know how one reacts in a case like this. I'm so glad that this series exist and that one day, thanks to your hard work (all involved) someone will come home :)
Thank you for the work you do. I live in Marrero, La. This family is suffering and has been suffering for years! I continue to pray for Shane and his family.
There is a missing woman in my area by the name of Devona Rothrock who has been missing since 2014 and as far as I can tell there has never been any media coverage of her case. Her son came home from school one day and she was gone and has not been heard from since. Maybe you could feature her on your show.
www.gofundme.com/9hb3k86gk
Thanks,EnterViral
I live about 45 minutes from marrero and I've been following this case. Very sad it breaks my heart seeing his mother and family suffering . I'll share this video hopefully someone knows something.
+Dove Jc Thank you so much Dove Jc!
+GeekenDorx no problem sir. I told you before you are giving voice to these people who have been forgotten by the law. God bless you
It probably is therapeutic and I feel like a bitch saying this, but releasing balloons actually isn't a great idea because after they pop the broken materials falls it can really harm wildlife.
Of course I do hope more attention is brought to this case, very bizarre why he would walk off when he had help on the way and with only one shoe. Doesn't seem like it would have been willingly
Omg! I've always thought the same thing! I literally cringe whenever I see a ballon release announced.
😕
I'm surprised I never thought about that. good thing, now I will never release a balloon into the air. thank you!
A lot of the balloons that are made today are biodegradeable so they don't pollute like those from 20 years ago.
krissjay I hate the helium balloons! Its just flying trash! I find them in the forest all the time. They totally don't just go land in the landfill.
Absolutely. I want him found, but all lives are important, and our ecosystem is on the brink of failing. Let's not put Mylar into the atmosphere please...
This is still an active case down here. My husband sees Shane's signs up to this day when goes to work... we live in Slidell,La. 🙏🙏🙏
I live in Ponchatoula and often think of the Shane Fell case. I pray his family gets the answers/closure they need.
I hold you all in my thoughts living in this state. I'd honestly not go back willingly.
Once, I was driving from San Francisco to Sacramento (a 1.5hr to 2hr drive) and while I was driving, my tire exploded. I got over 4 lanes and had to park on the side of the freeway. I was too far from an exit to watch. I called my mom over and over and over. i was waiting in my car, but every time a car went by, it would shake the crap out of my tiny celica, so I decided to get out of the car and wait until maybe someone came by to help. someone did, eventually. thankfully that someone turned out to be a cop, about an hour after my tire exploded. he put my spare on for me, and I went about my way home.
that could have ended horribly.
thanks john, for telling people to say in their cars. it's so important.
Even if somebody were to see him now, it would be very hard to recognize him because of the diverse looks he has had over the years.
Greetings from Dubai, UAE! Love your BrainScratch series, keep up the great work! 😊
+M KS Thank you and hello Dubai BrainScratchers!!
The security guy that called 911 said the windshield wipers were going when he saw the wrecked car...but the keys were never found. How is that possible? I have never had a car that had wipers that worked without the keys in the ignition.
That security guy is my guess. His mom said he sounded drunk or confused in the 911 call.
Such a sad case! I think if he was on foot walking why would it be so hard to find him if he brother and police was there 20 mins later. I cannot see how far he could get on foot probably in shocked without a shoe, unless he lost his memory sometimes after his brother talked to him and just disappearing. I really have to wonder after seeing the brother's video how it was in that area, he either got picked up by the wrong person or got hit by a car.
I know of a really old case out of Tennessee. Leanne Greene back in 1987. Sad case with no resolution. The police have theories and a possible suspect, but they never found her. This one is somewhat similar as she disappeared from a broken down vehicle she and her brother were riding in.
www.charleyproject.org/cases/g/green_martha.html
As of today, there are NO updates. Media has stopped at this point, basically since this video. One thing not mentioned, he made roses and flowers out of paper, long leaves, anything. If anyone sees someone making these, please look at his face. Remember his mole. He may not know who he is. He could still be here in New Orleans, or any city at this point. If you think you see anyone resembling him, contact Brett Fell any time, day or night as well as the police department. You can find his info on Facebook.
New subscriber to your channel. Hoping you add the mysterious disappearance of Asha Degree to your list. This beautiful child disappeared in 2000, at the age of 9 from North Carolina.
+dcgirl919 I do have her on the list. :-) Welcome to the channel!
That's great news ... and happy to be aboard.
He isn't in the river on the other side of the levee the water is hundreds of feet away and there is high grass and trees before you get to water the river was low at the time
June is a warm time of the year in the south. Could a gator have gotten him? Middle of the night, he's bleeding and by a levy, wondering around disoriented. No matter who you are after a wreck there is a degree of disorientation. I wonder if a gator could have smelled that and got him. They hide in the mud too and that would explain his shoe in the mud. He would have been taken into the water and pinned under a log or something for later. There's a good chance there would be no remains.
+Christy Stracener It's certainly a possibility, as much as I hope it isn't the case. Thanks for the insight Christy.
If not a gator, then perhaps a mountain lion or even feral dogs could've taken him.
Christy Stracener the accident happened just off of a suburban area. Gators and other wildlife are highly unlikely in that area. The river was in flood stage when the accident happened, and my personal speculation is that he climbed up the levee to check out the river and fell in. With the high water and fast current, it would not have been survivable, even for a strong swimmer.
I'm thinking on those lines as well. A gator being out, especially knowing he was hurt, that gator would pick up on that for sure. When I saw the map, I had a bad feeling that a gator had got him. Anything is possible. He could be living somewhere with no memory or one that is confused. A very sad story, hope one day this family will be reunited with their missing loved- one.
I'm thinking a gator as well, especially in Louisiana. Might explain the lost shoe.
Yeah I think this is technically the 4th Searchlight where a car has been abandoned. That connection definitely makes you think...
With the shoe found -
I notice you say it was found 'in the mud'. Do you know if it was in a state where it was deep in mud to the point where possibly Shane had to take his foot out of it to get his leg free? Or it was found on top (loss) in a muddy area? I notice that in the video by his brother, he says that the corner can be dangerous "at night", so presumably the accident took place at night? If so I can imagine Shane leaving his shoe behind if it is stuck in mud. But if it wasn't stuck then that may suggest something more sinister may have happened.
Also I wonder what the street lighting is like in that area? It looks out of the way and pretty industrial. So it is possible it could have been pitch black out there. With the river so close by and the potential of other cars possibly hitting someone that is trying to wave them down night, visibility could have played a major part in the disappearance (I hate speculating about things like this, but just giving my two cents).
Great video, John! These Searchlight episodes are always heartbreaking, so great work on publicising these cases.
+Veggie Gamer I do believe it was "stuck" and not just on top of the mud. Depending on the mindset/shock of Shane, he might have not even been aware that he pulled his foot out of it initially. I know the footage is from the day time, but I don't see any light posts on that bend, and I know one of those industrial sites is not operating, so they likely wouldn't be lighting up that lot either. Pretty dangerous spot in my opinion.
+GeekenDorx That road is very dark at night. extremely dangerous bend. hardly any traffic after business hours. if he lost his shoe in the muddy bank he quite possibly wouldn't be able to locate it.
he would have had to walk a stretch(maybe a mile or so)to get to any houses.
Thank u for caring about your viewers & the good advice.
I was wondering if they're sure he was alone in the car b4 the crash>
+Callie H I believe he was alone, but I can't say that I've seen any solid confirmation of that. REALLY good question!
This sounds like a missing 411 case! They always involve shoes. Brainscratch, look into David Paulides Missing 411. A lot of info on these strange missing people cases.
I really wonder what they would find. Paulides doesn't want to say what he thinks is going on. I think John would be willing to tell if he could figure it out but it might be life changing for everyone.
He doesn't speculate at all because once he does(and no one really knows) all the kooks will come out of the woodwork. He really wants to make people aware of the phenomenon.
+Kimberly Greenland I heard David say recently that they were getting close to understanding the phenomene (sp?) which really surprised me. The way he said it was like lawyer speak, it was odd. I've camped all through the States and Canada and only once had a creepy feeling at a river with tons of boulders. I was truly uneasy. I'm very curious to know what is going on. My ex seems addicted to this place when there's a million spots to fish around Hinton.
Please let me know where you heard this. I would be very interested to know. It makes me crazy to imagine what it is!
+Kimberly Greenland Hi I went through my history and its either Missing 411 David Paulides A Sobering...from Paranormal Central or New David Paulides Mind Bending Tales from Daniel Christopherson. I think it was near to the end of one of these talks. Sorry I don't know how to send links. Hope you find it.
i really like your videos , and appreciate that you are trying to help people out with these videos . keep up the good work
+3fingerroll I will, thank you!
It's a shame the sniffer dogs weren't sent out earlier.
Kas it seems to be a lag on so many investigations, where they assume that it’s not serious. We all know time is of the essence. Critical evidence is lost. I have often wondered if it wouldn’t be more efficient to go ahead and brings the dogs out on the beginning. They talk so much about the cost of the resources but how much of that would be lowered, if we brought the dogs out within 24 hours versus 4 days to 6months.... after exhausting ground searches, helicopter searches etc. I understand there are processes and guidelines but this has also been a big impairment to many investigations. It needs to be evaluated and included in the initial search. In my opinion.
If the brother was talking to him on the phone why couldnt the brother tell him to stay there till help arrived? :/
I also wondered why not stay on the phone with him until he or the police arrived? Hopefully seeing these cases people will have the forethought to keep the injured party on the line until they are sure help has arrived.
+iAquarius202 Very good question. I wondered the same thing. I would not have hung up on him.
mombo 2811 how do u know he didn't?
stude1953 who said the brother hung up on him?
iAquarius202 great 20/20 hindsight
Sadly there is not that ultimate "stay in the car" solution - if you have an accident in a dangerous spot, chances are there are more vehicles to drive by. If they don't see your car, they might as well crash into it and that would not be that good either... Don't know about the US, but here in Germany it's something you learn very early in driving schools: If you had an accident and you are able to do so, get yourself out of the danger zone as fast as possible. :-/
+celynn I can see your point, however it might have been worse if he was struck outside of the vehicle. That actually makes an interesting theory on this case.
+GeekenDorx It's certainly possible that you'd have to get out of your car after an accident, but even under those circumstances you should never walk away from the scene. Get out of the danger zone and then wait there until police arrive.
celynn : your right but you should stay in yhe vicinity!!
Devona Rothrock Missing! Please we are desperate!!!!
EDIT - *POSSIBLY IMPORTANT INFORMATION*
I read a cracked article written by a woman who had went missing.
In the article she explained how she'd had a mental breakdown of some sort, and was taken to a mental hospital.
Due to this she suddenly became *NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND*.
Although it was a "cracked" article which is known for it's comedic style, I believe this is important.
Source: (www.cracked.com/article_21960_5-strange-realities-being-missing-person.html)
-------------------------------------
The brother and police arrived at the scene of the accident within 20 minutes, however, this doesn't go to say that Shane wasn't tending to injuries for 10+ minutes before police and the brother were alerted about the accident in the first place.
The content of the phone call is quite important.
Were there sounds of cars going by? How distant did they sound?
Did he state he was waiting for help at the car?
Did he state he was waiting for help at all?
Could he have been walking while on the phone?
Could he have been in someone else's car at the time?
Was anyone else's voice heard? What did they say?
Did he say anything which could be linked to his whereabouts in the short term?
(It could be indirect, such as; "Ahh my phone is broke again" - which could link to him having went to a phone repair shop, maybe the one he had went to before).
At night, next to the Mississippi, not good, lost his shoe. From the wreck it's a long walk either way but if he's confused he could of walked right into the Mississippi, I would like to know how fast the police estimated his speed, and the car flipping and coming to a stop, would be a very hard hit, he might of felt fine right after, but then later feels lost and panics. Maybe some joggers on the trail that night remember something.
After reading the comments, apparently a couple showed up and talked to him, then another person who immediately calls 911, Shane runs off, problem is, there is only one way to run and that is towards the river, it's dark and he may be drunk, trying to navigate the tree line next to the Mississippi would be tough.
I look forward to this all week & John never lets me down ever! Another great video but so sad
+Brett Verbist Thanks Brett, Thanks for the wisdom in your scrawny little dome.
Podcast "unfound" will talk about his case on Friday.
John, have you ever considered doing reruns/reuploads of your older BrainScratch SearchLight episodes when you're out for vacation/holiday affairs? Some of your newer audience members may not have seen episodes like this one that are going on 3 years old. And it would be really nice for people like me who are happy for you when you get some r&r but also want you to hurry on back to us. You could provide a new introduction and a conclusion with updates on the case or fundraising efforts if there are any. Just a thought. Keep up the great work!
I'm sorry, but the most logical theory is that he has succumbed to an animal attack. Probably a gator.
Gator's don't kill people , Rappers do
cereal boy
I hope and pray this family gets some answers. Let me say this, I was in a very serious accident that put me in the hospital two months. I could not tell you anything about that accident. I do not even remember that whole day of the accident, however I was in such shock I told people helping I wanted to walk home and to let me up. My femur was crushed and leg had shrunk half the size. I wonder if I would have left the scene or tried to if nobody was there holding me back??I was told I was carrying on conversation until I was taken off. I do not remember any of this. I wonder if he wondered off and had life threatening internal injuries. I just do not see anyone taking an injured man. I hope this family find peace and closure
I gave these people my address and phone number so and do not remember. It is possible he called his brother on instinct.
+adamsangie1 Wow.. thanks for sharing your personal experience. It's certainly good insight to have when reviewing this case.
Great show. Scary subject but great show
+Diana Rios Thank you Diana!
This is really weird. By that video of where the crash happened there seems to be a decent flow of traffic. You would think there would of been some cars passing by at or after the time of the crash. Also there are like warehouse buildings in the back. There would be some degree of light coming from light fixtures on the buildings. In the twenty minutes between the call and the police arriving to me some one must have driven by. Did they check the ping of the phone? I think the memory loss theory is a good one but you'd think he would of still be in the area, how far could one possibly get on foot in the night. Also if the area was muddy there is a greater chance of footprints etc left behind. If there was a potential tussle between him and another individual or gator there would be some degree of evidence on the mud, or potential traces of blood. Really is a mysterious case. Times like this I really wish some of the brain scratch community was on the scene within the hour.
Between the last phone call to his Brother and the 911 caller on the site was less that 7 minutes.....
Would you dump a truckload of toxic waste into a lake in memory of a loved one? Launching balloons has the same devastating effect on the environment and animals! It’s absolutely terrible. I really feel for Shane and all the other families, but deliberately polluting without any care or thought for the outcome (causing harm to all kinds of animals and habitats) is not the way to do it. Why not plant trees instead?! I’m sure the family doesn’t mean to do harm, but hearing that they do this repeatedly breaks my heart! It’s bad enough that people are missing, possibly suffering or killed. How can we then pass on more suffering and death, “in their honor”? To me that is massively disrespectful to the missing person/people. I know that isn’t the intent, but I wish people could see the big picture and think about more than one singular person.
Another great episode! Sharing it away!
+Branko Petek Thank you Branko!
Wow, I spend a lot of my time in the part of town where he went missing and I've never heard of this case... This hits close to home (literally) and I'm glad I'm now aware of a missing person that lives not far from me :/
+GeekenDorx come to find out, one of my best friends and her family met the Fell family after his disappearance. he disappeared close to her parents church (they live in Marrero) and there were mobs of people trying to find him at the time, and especially searched the river. it's so sad that he's still missing but I'm hopeful that he might be alive somewhere
John your videos never cease to amaze me!!!
I've seen some of the comments, and I have to agree with some of them. if my brother called me and told me he had been involved in a car accident I would stay on the phone until I arrived or until I at least knew law enforcement were on the scene. we all have our own theories I'm sure but I really think an animal had him.
What kind of animal, do you think? that's an interesting theory
It's crazy the tank farm down the street has cameras and if you go in the other direction to Westwego they always have a speed trap camera set out
Probably fell in the river. I live close to there. Many people fall in the river and their bodies are never found.
Could you cover the Brian Lee Barrett case? He went missing from Milaca, MN on June 6th, 1995. He was last seen by his uncle in the early morning. His truck was found abandoned in a field in the same county later that day. It never gets any media coverage and something about the case haunts me.
Great job at doing this story
+hltigue I appreciate you watching and commenting.
I don't know about people staying at their car until law enforcement arrive, it must be terrifying under the shock and stress of a car crash I don't blame people for wandering off, concussion/memory loss is really terrifying and its what makes these cases so tough to take, these poor people are not sure whats going on and don't know what to do.
Man that's crazy how many people that missing this way. you'd think where so many people go missing like this they would make it requirement to get your license that you have to sit through a safety course covering things like this and what to do if your car goes over a bridge into the water and in case of a fire etc..
but its unfortunate that people go missing in this type of situation especially since it might have been prevented just by information..
+Michael at KY Really good point.
John, I totally agree & also urge everyone to ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS stay with the vehicle. It is easier for 1st responders to locate a several thousand pound vehicle, then to locate a 100 or 200 lb person.
It would be like losing your car keys, you look around the house forever, but if your keys were attached to a gallon of water, you would find them quickly in the house.
The vehicle is larger in size, larger in a thermal image(if needed to search by thermal) & humans look like dots from the sky(if areal search needs to be done).
We all LOVE Brain Scratch, but non of us want to be featured on Brain Scratch....THANKS JOHN For All You Do My Friend, keep it up.
That was a bad ass theme song.
strange case ...Even if he wasn't hurt he'd have been shook up....And his brother and the Police arrived 20 minutes later....How far could he have walked in 2o minutes.....Some one must have picked him up
was there any quick sand...as here in mo. we have it by some of or rivers.....some one stated river low...at that time... 100 feet away is close by...i would of stayed on phone with him...
Quicksand is not typical in that area, so I highly doubt it.
Rick Brown is not a relative, but a friend from Georgia...
It would help to know more about his lifestyle and friend network. I have looked and there is virtually no info on this case anywhere.

I’m gonna tell y’all what happened. This guy obviously had a few drinks and it was reported he was way out of his normal route for going home to avoid a Dwi checkpoint that was reportedly in the area. I think after the accident between the couple in the pt cruiser and seeing the security guard he panicked,thought someone was gonna call the cops and he was gonna get popped for a dui. He calls his brother to see if he’s still coming so he goes over that levy to hide and winds up in the strong currents of the mighty Mississippi. Was it a physical killer? No. Did he hit his head so hard that he wondering amisoly through homeless camps? No
Hello. I have recently contacted you on a story very like this. It's involves the disappearance of a high school friend. I sent it to the email you gave me on one of these posts. I know you are very busy I hope you get a chance to read it soon. Thank you
Looking for updates on 26th of December 2022.. there's none. A couple new articles, some new videos or podcast episodes. Looking at the Facebook page, the last update is from 2020 and they had no leads, evidence etc. I can't verify if they still use the fb page at all, but they used to check pictures etc people send of potential matches.
I can't believe how people just disappear into thin air. It's just to weird .
Just a hunch but I'm guessing he was sippin' on grandma's old cough medicine (booze) and rolled his car into that ditch...He was probably looking to escape law enforcement and got a ride from a passerby...I think the person or person who picked him up was the wrong crowd and did something terrible to him.
Hi, I live about 3 min from the crash scene. The brother is absolutely correct about that curve, it's dangerous at night and the day too. Many cross over into the other lane making this curve. The lighting is poor at best, the large warehouse you see in the back is empty if not empty , then rarely of use. It's really scary driving this part of River road at night. I won't drive it anymore. Not alone. I've never seen Gators in this area, my thoughts are, someone hit Shane not seeing him. And took him. I really hope this family gets answers, this case has bothered me to my core, I still think of him Everytime I pass this scene.
I was on this case when it first happened something wack with the bros comments in regs to him calling and two things that he said that were different I think its poss he helped him flee or something else here was it him actually in the car theres lots of things um not sure if the vid thats gone was something i pointed out he said vs what was said on the ol website I haven't looked in years and when I went to check at a later time stuff was gone so I would have to do a deep archive to find that again and not tonight but I wanted to point out exactly what it was but you'll notice the bro randomly calls him after this inncident just additional facts to look at other possibilities here cuz usally these cold cases the story line is bogus
ya see helpfindshanefell.com/
but I'm able to go into the site ruclips.net/video/PSPeRGpFLng/видео.html that clip
ok here it is "His brother, Brett Fell, found Fell's shoe in the mud near the wrecked
car after his brother called to tell him about the crash 20 minutes
after it happened and to report that he was OK." perhaps its just the way its written but its funky
It will leave you going who called who why is he last person to say he randomly called him after crash and finds his shoe then was 20 mins away too (I think thats what it was within a small time frame driving there allegedly) It makes more sense shane called him but no in the clip he says he randomly called him right after it so that part may have been a writers goof or what idk but it stuck with me for yrs thinking ok wait a second
I agree, something sounds fishy there. If I was the investigator, I would look into it....hell, it can't hurt. Good memory you have.
Sometimes when siblings are close they can sense when the other is in danger. My sister popped into my mind one night and I called her and she had just been robbed.🌸
came across this alate. But as someone who was in a car that flipped, i can say shock make stupid things seem logical. So it's entierly possible, he sober, did something weridly out of character or illogical.
The whole episode is here at the links - the Unexplained - Ep 1 S 1. I read about this case awhile back and it is creepy. So many things could have happened and I get the feeling it is not a good ending on this one. www.watchseries.li/episode/The_Unexplained_s1_e1.html
scroll down about 10 comments to "headless eyes" comment and read that comment and go to the links she has posted, it gives some insight.
I live in this Area where he went missing he has still haven't been found yet Really strange disappearance I think someone picked him up and he left the scene with that person if he got out the car river road is a busy intersection thats extends all the way into lulling and further into the state like their is a bridge u can get on to get too baton rouge all from that 1 road
I would guess after all the info regarding his cards, insurance etc, sounds like he has passed on, Or he has amnesia.
When I first heard about this, I thought he was probably struck by another car after exiting his, but youd think his body or some sign of it would be found...
I think he may have had a head injury. And he walked to the levee and blacked out and drowned.
Never leave the car!!!!👍🙏💔💕
I've paid attention to the facts presented here. Please, don't take this wrong, especially family members. I'm drawn to the fact that Shane studied jewelry making. I did too. I'd say 9 out of 10 guys in the classes were gay. Could this be true of Shane? And if so, could he have ended up in a gay male community somewhere, like the old quarter in New Orleans? Perhaps with loss of memory? Perhaps being taken advantage of? Of course the fact that his bank account hasn't been accessed since the accident is sobering. This indicates he may have passed away. But maybe my suggestion rates a look. Hope he turns up. It is SO aggravating that a person can just disappear.
He wasn't gay.
What about somebody forcing the accident, and he coming out from the accident to argue with that person angry enough, but getting placed at gun point and taken away against his own will
I went to visit my parents in Louisiana in April. I drove by this scene. This was a BAD AREA. I felt uncomfortable driving in most of marrero. Everyone local definitely believes it was gang related as far as I know. Apparently my step sister knew him too. Sad.
Marrero isn’t that bad. There’s no gangs . Just a couple of hoods (subdivisions) that you don’t go in. They are not seeking people outside of the hood. With that being said he was miles away from “the fellas”. Not a common thing for car wreck victims to be preyed upon. Jefferson parish in 2011 with a population of 430,000 people had 25 murders.
Could He Have been trying to wave down a vehicle and hit, knocking him out of his shoe. That's a common occurrence. Not sure shoe location. Blood wouldn't have to be present. Could be internal damage. Could have tried to rush him to help and he died and panacked. Or was drunk or panicked immediately.
To me it’s seems like he was picked up by someone. Maybe saw the cops were coming and panicked and got in the car with someone, and meet with foul play. I also find the security guard shady not wanting to talk to the family or continue talking to the police. He wasn’t found in the water. Any new updates ?
Unfortunately none. I think we're waiting for someone with to share it with authorities on this one.
I still wish you could do a video on the three missing girls from Fort Worth, Tx. It's an old case from 1974 but there has been very little coverage of it. Mostly just a little bit of local coverage but nothing national. But the family is still very active in looking for them. Just this last weekend they dragged a couple cars out of the local lake looking for evidence. Sadly, they didn't find any. Just shows how invested the families STILL ARE after 4 decades and it breaks my heart for them. These girls went Christmas shopping and never returned home. There have been very few clues or tips as to what may have happened to them. I am the one who created the wikipedia article on them. They didn't even have that. They have a group on Facebook though.
I may have mentioned this before, I watch a lot of this type of shows and videos so it's difficult for me to remember. Have you ever heard of Lisa Stone? She went missing from her home in Dallas, TX in June of 2010 and hasn't been see since. Her partner of 15 years lied repeatedly about her whereabouts to friends and authorities and has since moved out of state. There was an episode of 48 Hours Mystery called The Facebook Detectives regarding her case. The partner was seen by a friend of Lisa's driving Lisa's car, pulling up to a dumpster behind a convenience store and throwing things from the trunk of the car into the dumpster. Upon examination it was discovered that the items she threw away were Lisa's personal belongings such as her birth certificate, family bibles, family photos, etc. Until confronted with these items the Dallas Police Department had closed the case, even going so far as to tell one of her friends that he was not going to lose his job over this case and told her not to call back. I'm sorry this is so long but there is much more information that I haven't mentioned. There is at least one Facebook page and several news stories regarding her case if you would be interested in checking into it.
Uh oh. Another large body of water...
The fact that Shane was speaking lucidly to his brother after the accident does not preclude the possibility of brain injury. My father was in a very serious van wreck with a semi, in which his head was slammed into the steering column. He was cleared by doctors. No one saw the slow bleed causing serious brain damage. It took 6 months to manifest itself, and the effects were permanent. So head injuries can be instantaneous, slow-motion, or somewhere in between. Once the adrenaline wore off and shock set in, anything could’ve happened.
Crazy. I drive by this site 2-4 times a day. Can’t believe it’s been 7 years already. This is an area between the Mississippi River and mostly industrial area with small residential pockets. It’s a pretty off place from anything open at night. I still hope he’s alive somehow out there.
I live in Texas and on our driver's licenses there is a number to call for help in an accident. I would also think calling 911 or the state highway patrol is a good idea. I assume in some cases people aren't getting authorities involved because they're drinking or have warrants out or unpaid tickets or whatever. Like you said, the trouble with the law if you stay is a lot less than becoming a "missing" statistic. Good video!
This case is bizzare... If this involved a female instead of a male, I would consider an abduction. But since it's a guy, that seems unlikely. Also, since he talked to his brother right after the accident, it seems less likely that he was really confused and wandered off. Unless it took a little bit for his brain to be affected? I really don't know how that works.
Just have to say it.
I love this channel and particularly this type of video.
Thanks John for bringing a renewed sense of acknowledgement to these cases.
Thumbnail had me thinking it was John's doppelgänger.Scary
You should do a video on Jason Lee Armstrong. I went the website charley project and the first one that came up was that. I decided to look it up and there were basically no news articles on it except one from awhile ago. And I looked on RUclips and there's no videos on here. It would be cool if you completely focused on cases that no one really talked about
We are seeing too many of these type disappearances. It is truly heartbreaking. I would like to see more of them staying on the phone until help arrives, if at all possible. Thank you, John, for covering these for the families. I have never heard of so many of these. It also educates us on a deeper level for our own safety.
I live there. Very very possible he walked the river and got attacked by an alligator.
I know a lot of people here think he has been killed by a gator / animal, but I actually have hope that he is still alive. He had to have been in a state of shock after this accident (even if he did sound coherent on the phone) and he could likely have suffered a head injury. He could be wandering around out there somewhere with amnesia, maybe absorbed into the homeless population. I hope his family gets some answers soon, one way or another.
you are doing a great thing. there is a guy missing from my area his name is Josh Adams Jefferson Georgia. I actually went to school with his sister. could you please just look at the case. thank you for what u do
Brookley Louks is another missing person in my area,missing since 2002 that you may want to feature.
I've noticed that speculation of intoxication or other reasons the person may fear getting in trouble for contributing to the person leaving the scene but shock and confusion can really cause the person to have odd thoughts and behaviors following an accident.

The whole abandoned car thing is really creepy. The area where this happened is just outside of New Orleans. The road where it happened is narrow, ill-lit, winding in unexpected places, generally has no shoulder, and is subject to heavy industrial traffic, and moderate residential traffic. I have driven past the site many times. It is also subject to frequent rains, and very dense fogs. Crashes are frequent, and sometimes horrific. But it is not isolated. Shane would have been able to walk easily to someone's home or small bars and convenience stores for help. I suspect he fell afoul of someone who took advantage of his state of mind, and possible shock and injuries. It is also possible that he may have been hit by a passing vehicle as he walked along the road. If a hit-and-run occurred, his body may have been disposed of in a panic. I doubt he is still alive. It is right by the Mississippi River, and would not be the first time a body ended up there. He could even have gotten disoriented from a bump on the head, and fallen in the river.
P.S. I have a suggestion for a future spotlight. Myra Davis, now about 4, disappeared from her home in Camden Mississippi. The Clarion Ledger newspaper has published an excellent timeline of events before and after her disappearance. No evidence has been found of her at all. Police believe she was abducted by an opportunist kidnapper who just happened to be in the right place to take advantage of the confusion ensuing when her mother dropped her at the front yard and told her to go inside, then ran a quick errand. Her dad was inside changing the baby, and didn't realize Myra was even there. So no one even knew she was gone for a little while. It's a very interesting and pretty well documented case.
+Denise Frickey Thank you for the comment and suggestion!
+GeekenDorx you are most welcome! Keep up the good work, this series is definitely your best. And I do believe keeping things like these in the public eye sometimes elicits a tip that wouldn't have happened otherwise.
You should definitely focus mostly on cases that aren't brought up:) that'd be so great
Just curious... Do u perhaps Where exactly did he have this accident?
what business is the accident close 2 etc?
On River Road, between Marrero Road and Klein Road in Marrero Louisiana.
This guy was picked up by someone in order to dodge the cops and a DWI.He was either killed by this person or overdosed. The other possibility is that he has amnesia and is living among the homeless
PAPA DAPA how can you be so sure?
@@loraynebourgeois6000 He was drunk and just had an accident, cops were coming
alligator attack? 👀
If your shoe comes off and your ok waiting for a ride or help, you'd put your shoe on immediately. I even more so expect this outside.
If he had been drinking or received an injury causing confusion it is very possible he made his way to the river bank, then slipped or got in to the water not realizing the strength of the river. The water is cold and causes hypothermia very quickly. If someone snatched him most likely his credit cards and phone would have revealed something eventually. Very, very tragic story.
+Trace-Elementz13 The water isnt cold in June. Its Louisiana. Get your shit together.
+howiwatchvideos in June or anytime at night all water is cold, go try it go jump in a river at night and see how long you are in there before you get cold, come on get your shit together.
The tip of my penis is tender.
seems to me that some deranged person looking for a victim was either listening to police scanner or perhaps had a CB in a truck, how the hell does someone dissapear without a trace in 20 minutes time? bizarre.
