The Geneva Police Department, Geneva County Sheriff’s Department, the Alabama Bureau of Investigation, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are conducting an active investigation into the disappearance of Shanna Genelle Peoples.
As you will remember Shanna went missing on Thursday, September 8, 2011, around 3:30 pm. Shanna was last seen in the area of 303 North Morris Street, in Geneva, Alabama. Although it is unclear of the clothing that Shanna was wearing, it is believed that she was wearing blue denim Capri pants and a green tank top. Shanna has a limited mental capacity, and investigators are not sure if she was the victim of an accident or if she was harmed by someone.
Shanna was known to walk and ride her bicycle in the community. She loved McDonalds and soft drinks and would often ride or walk to either Magnolia Market located on Magnolia Avenue in Geneva or C & M Grocery located on Maple Avenue in Geneva.
Geneva is a cohesive and caring community and we know that everyone wants to bring Shanna home. She is a beloved member of this community and we are asking the citizens of Geneva and the surrounding communities to join us in the effort to bring Shanna home. Investigators believe that success in this case will come from a joint effort between the citizens in the community and the law enforcement agencies involved in the investigation. Investigators would also like to thank the public for the information they have provide thus far, and encourage them to continue providing leads and information. Investigators in the case believe that they are individuals who have information regarding Shanna’s disappearance, and these individuals are strongly encouraged to report that information no matter how small they believe it is. Please allow the investigators to determine how important or relevant the information may be.
This case has been, is, and will remain a priority for local, county, state, and federal law enforcement. The investigators remain hopeful for a successful conclusion.
