Shannon Matthews with True Crime Declassified

NOTE: This episode originally aired on Dying to be Found: The DASH podcast on May 31, 2023. We are working hard to transition all DASH episodes back into our Thursday lineup. Thanks for your patience! On February 19, 2008, 9-year-old Shannon Matthews departed from an after-school event, when she headed out in the opposite direction of her hom When she did not return home by evening, Shannon's mother contacted the police and a high-profile manhunt began. For the next 24 days, Shannon went missing without a trace, until two police officers followed a trail of inconsistencies that led them directly to where Shannon was being held against her will. Join Deb as she talks with Megan from "True Crime Declassified," while we dig into Shannon's ordeal, but also learn about Megan's own journey in true crime analysis, research, and declassification.Listen to the Dying to be Found: The DASH series every Wednesday wherever you get your podcasts!
