Cold Case of Bobo Shinn

Description

In this episode, your host Lisa and guest host Lisa's hubbie, Daryl, will discuss the cold case of Bobo Shinn.

Mary Jimmie "Bobo" Shinn, was an art instructor but she renovated and sold homes on the side. She had a home newly renovated that she wanted to sell located in her home town of Magnolia, Arkansas. She told her friends that she was going to show the home to an unknown man on July 20, 1978. Upon showing the property to the man, Bobo would never be seen or heard from again. Only her vehicle would be found.

Road blocks, leads, composites, witnesses, sightings, exhumations. Tons of activity over the years but no Bobo.

This episode was requested by our listener Melanie D. from Magnolia. This is near and dear to her and her family-and the whole community.

I would urge if anyone has any information no matter how small please contact the Columbia County Sheriff's Office at 870-234-5331.
