On November 30, 2018, a 911 call came in from a rural property near Fawn River Road outside Sturgis, Michigan. A young woman had appeared at a stranger’s door. She was barefoot, had cuts on her arms and feet, and said the vehicle she was riding in had gone off the road. She claimed the man she was with had taken off. Moments later, before deputies could arrive, she disappeared into the darkness.
That woman was Brittany Wallace Shank. She has never been seen again.
In this episode, Ashley Flowers and Brit Prawat investigate a baffling disappearance that has generated years of rumors, conflicting stories, and unanswered questions.
You’ll hear the 911 call that became the last confirmed interaction with Brittany Wallace Shank, what happened after a vehicle was abandoned near Fawn River Road in St. Joseph County, Michigan, the unidentified man Brittany was reportedly with before she vanished, the complicated relationships and shifting accounts that followed, the evidence that surfaced after Brittany disappeared, and why investigators are still searching for answers nearly seven years later
As investigators dug deeper, they uncovered conflicting witness statements about Brittany’s final hours, missing digital communications and social media activity, mysterious evidence discovered after her disappearance, reports of a man Brittany’s family and investigators have never identified, and a case that continues to divide those closest to it.
Brittany Wallace Shank was a 23 year old mother of four trying to rebuild her life when she vanished.

Most deaths with drug use are like this. Nothing makes sense because they’re using, so everyone is acting on impulse. It literally sounds like Eric is mystery man is Eric and just threw the air up her tires with her to place himself on the car with her but he really went and paid the gas, and also she stated in that voice memo that she was moving out of state….?
Oh and also….the dirt Brittany had on Ashley was eric and her relationship which could be a motive
So we’re all agreeing Ashley the closest complaint person to the case killed Britney. All the evidence is there and it’s crazy to see how dumb the world has gotten. Ashley just sounds purely evil and guilty.
Wild case 😢
Most likely a few people know!!!
Were there no cameras at this gas station?
Can we acknowledge how John Fox Jr resembles the sketch? Or is that just me? Is john fox jr the son of the same john whose phone Brittany used?
