Summary
In March 2021, 48-year-old Shannon Collins quietly disappeared from Pottsville, Arkansas. His parents, brother, and sister just stopped hearing from Shannon. He wasn't returning their calls or text messages, which was strange. When they contacted Shannon's wife, she said he had left their home on March 12 but was contacting their children via phone. Despite their inquiries, they have yet to receive satisfactory answers. By November, Shannon's brother, Blake, decided to report his brother missing during a trip home to Arkansas for the holidays. From there, the situation only grew more peculiar.
Anyone with information about Shannon Collins' disappearance can call Pope County Sheriff's Office at 479-968-2558 and ask for any available investigator. You may also report tips anonymously at https://www.popecoso.org/reportACrime.

| 0:41.0 | I think is what has happened here. I mean I've gone through every |
| 0:44.0 | scenario you can imagine thinking did this happen to my brother. All the |
| 0:48.0 | evidence points to him never leaving that house that last night. And so when |
| 0:52.2 | people continue to lie and cover up and don't help and you |
| 0:55.3 | know that they have done everything in their power to be deceitful, the question is |
| 0:59.9 | why. And so I think we know the answer to why, but I'll digress on that. |
