Hoax Declared in Ind. Missing Girl Case

THORNTOWN, Ind. - A woman who called the parents of a missing girl and claimed she might be their long-lost daughter was charged Wednesday with committing a cruel hoax.

Donna L. Walker, 35, of Topeka, Kan., faces a felony charge of identity deception and a misdemeanor charge of false reporting. Her whereabouts were not known on Wednesday, authorities said.

Walker called the parents of Shannon Marie Sherrill and also is believed to have contacted news organizations to spread word about the possible break in the case, said state police 1st Sgt. Dave Bursten.

He described her actions as a "cruel hoax."

"We don't know what her motivation was and it is impossible for us to guess," Bursten said. "We live in an age today where people like to receive attention.

Six-year-old Shannon vanished Oct. 5, 1986, as she played hide-and-seek outside her mother's mobile home in Thorntown, about 30 miles northwest of Indianapolis. Her father, William Michael Sherrill, broke down in tears during a news conference Wednesday announcing that the call was a hoax.

"I wasn't expecting this at all," said Sherrill, who learned about the hoax about 15 minutes before the news conference. "I thought they were going to bring Shannon in here."

The identity deception charge carries a maximum sentence of three years in prison, Boone County Prosecutor Todd Meyer said.

"I am very disappointed the case has taken this turn," Meyer said. "The case I want to prosecute was the case of an abductor and the happy ending is the child coming home. Unfortunately that's not the closing argument I get to make.

Authorities had planned DNA tests to determine whether the woman was the child.

Jody Ames, an aunt of the missing girl, said the last several days had been draining on the family.

"It's been a very big roller coaster," she said. "We've been up and down, we've hoped for the best. We still hope for the best. We can only hope and pray."

Bursten said investigators did not know a motive for the hoax. Walker had given three different fictitious names to investigators in recent days, he said.

Topeka police Lt. John Sidwell said officers there were helping in the search for Walker.

"We've had no contact with the suspect," Sidwell said. "We're continuing to look for her."

Bursten said he expected Walker would be arrested soon.

"We know who she is, she can't hide forever," he said. "Now the rest of the country will know what she's accused of and what she's done."

Ouch :(

What fuckers

Sick Bitch :BangBang:

What is wrong with this world, thats just wrong.

That's fucked up but it reminds me of that joke about the mother and her blind daughter.

white poeple are evil too :)

That's terrible. I was just reading about the original story this morning and thought "sweet!"

Fucking people.

:1orglaugh

I hope the bitch gets cancer in her vagina......

justifies a vigilante killing.

karma will double dose that C-U-N-T! :mad:

stupid bitch

Why oh why

I know many of you don't have children yet, but trust me as a father I'll tell you flat out, I cannot imagine any pain more piercing on your heart and soul than to have your little innocent child just disappear one day and then having to spend the rest of your life not knowing what happened to them.

At least if you find them dead, even if they were horrifically killed like John Walsh's (America's Most Wanted Host) little boy was where the freak that took him sliced the kid's head completely off, you can eventually have some kind of closure.

But to have to live with the possibility that they may still be alive I think is even worse torture.

I use this domain as a public service. There are currently over 1,300,000 children missing in the United States alone.

So true

Wow, that's a big fucking number.

yeah and just think how many of them are abducted and raped by the millions of illegal alien criminals we have here.

alright, lets hear it

Reminds me of when Jim Carrey sold the dead bird to the blind kid on Dumb and Dumber.

:mad: :feels-hot

yea that shit is fucking harsh

if anyone fucked with my daughter though they would meet the business end of my gats

slowly

why use guns, your hands would be more satisfying and you could prolong the suffering

That is a big number, but in most cases it has more to do with runaways and parent custody battles than strangers kidnapping some poor innocent kid.

Now don't get me wrong. 1 child kidnapped is bad enough, but I don't like the alarmist view that some have taken to make their case or justify their organizations, or instill fear into the minds of everyone out there.

Just be honest, people will still want to help.

That's the accumulated total of unsolved missing children cases. It fluctuates with many found but new cases get filed. Over 2,000 new ones per day come into the system.

Its a frightening statistic.

What a Fucking dumb bitch!




:feels-hot

Exactly.

That is a fucked up thing to put parents through.

yea no shit that was heart breaking, I hope that bitch gets tied up and gang raped by a bunch of pit bulls
TOM

OMG how cruel can one person be?

Of course, maybe the woman is "troubled" or something? Maybe her own parents were cruel to her and she was hoping to find a real "family" to love her... who knows. I think instead of jumping to conclusions and harming the woman for what she's done, she may need serious psychological help. That doesn't sound like something a sane person would do. :(

I have kids myself, and I've got one who likes to run off and hide sometimes (like the laundry room under clothes, the back yard... once when my mother was babysitting he got outside and was several houses down hiding behind a neighbor's house when my oldest son found him!) and it scares me to death every single time and he knows it. He's only 3 (4 in Sept.) and he knows just how to drive me crazy. We're to the point of needing to get an alarm system installed on every single door and window in the house just to be sure he doesn't get outside without us knowing! It's just terrifying!

OMG

I can't even imagine the pain those people are going through ... I'd be devasted beyond measure

:( :BangBang:

That was messed up..

what goes around comes around

saw this on tv last night... definately shitty. :(

That's a felony?

People get off with murder and this is a felony/

Definitely a fucked up world.

Beats any prank I ever pulled though, and that says alot, I was horrible, I worked at a Haunted House doing effects and make up for years, I used to make fake gashes in my arms and pretend I fell off a bike hwne I was younger.

my grandma hated that shit.

hahaha
