Details of Disappearance
McLeod was last seen leaving her home in the 4700 block of Golod Way in Lithonia, Georgia in the early morning hours of September 24, 2011. She was en route to start her 5:00 a.m. shift at the Life Care Center of Gwinnett, a nursing home in Lawrenceville, Georgia, where she was a cook.
She never arrived there and has never been heard from again. There hasn't been any activity on her cellular phone or bank accounts since her disappearance. Before she vanished, McLeod had been in the process of ending an abusive relationship. She said she was afraid something would happened to her, and borrowed a gun from a friend for self-protection.
Police stopped McLeod's 2011 Nissan Versa behind an abandoned house near Cleveland Avenue several days after her disappearance; it was being driven by a man named Ricky Nobles, who fled the scene. A photo of Nobles is posted with this case summary.
Foul play is suspected in McLeod's disappearance. Her loved ones stated she was happy with her life, did not use drugs or drink alcohol, and had no reason to leave of her own accord.
In 2017, police announced they believed she'd been abducted and murdered after she left the house that morning. They stated they don't think Nobles was the killer; they have identified another suspect, a person who knew McLeod's family and was familiar with the area where she lived.
McLeod was born in Guyana, a country in South America, and moved to the U.S. at the age of thirteen. Her case remains unsolved.

Thoughts? Shawndell's case is being placed in the missing on tv section since her disappearance was profiled earlier in the week on the syndicated crime show "Crime Watch Daily". It should be stressed that Charley Project article was initially written a few years ago, and a Detective interviewed on the show does not mention Ricky Nobles but rather a woman named Joyce Pelzer as his main person of interest. (Although he does say he won't leave out other people). Shawndell and Pelzer were apparently in a romantic relationship and Pelzer allegedly got very angry when Shawndell broke up with her.
In my opinion, it doesn't matter what Shawndell's love life was like, gay straight bisexual etc... What matters is she has a family that loves her and wants answers. The Detective on the show believes she was murdered. Even if that's true, Shawndell's family deserves justice and also a proper place to visit and mourn her to take away the frustration of not knowing.
