Shannon's Abduction
Shannon's abduction sparked a 24-day search that gripped the nation. Her stepfather, Craig Meehan, played a significant role in distributing missing posters and pleading for her safe return.
Eventually, Shannon was found alive and well, though it was later discovered that Karen Matthews had orchestrated her own daughter's abduction as part of a fake kidnapping scheme.
