In August of 2001, the Candlestick Mobile Home Park was full of family gatherings. Neighbors helped other neighbors when necessary. Cookouts took place. Every child there knew every other child. It was a community of friends and family, but no one knew the evil lurking just next door.

That August, 11 year old Shannon Paulk spent her day making the rounds through the trailer park, looking for anyone that would play with her on one of the last few summer days before the new school year.

Unfortunately, she found someone. We just don't know who.

Shannon never returned home that day, and was not seen again until rabbit hunters stumbled upon a torn trash bag in the woods. Inside was evidence a sinister event had taken place.

Join Andrea Up Late and Brian Sanders on Nightshift as they cover this still unsolved murder.

Do names like Halloween Man and Root Beer Man give you the creeps? What about the other neighbor that wasn't graced with a nickname, but should never be around children again? Maybe Candlestick wasn't what they thought Candlestick was afterall.
