Hello all,
I am new to this site, and I have been reading all the heart-breaking stories. After reading some of these, I went to the site for missing and exploited children and was just looking around. Imagine my surprise when I saw a page for a baby that had been kidnapped in my hometown! The details are very sketchy, but they are as follows:
The mother was knocked unconscious on a county road and her eight-month-old son, Shannon Patrick Ketron, was abducted by an unknown white male. This took place just outside of Cordell, Oklahoma in 1982.
I was born and raised in Cordell and lived there at that time--I was 19 years old and had small children of my own. My point is that I never heard a word about this when it happened. Cordell is a very small town (approximately 3,000) and everyone knows everyone. Of course, this occurred at the end of the so-called "oil boom," which means that there were a lot of strangers around. The page for Shannon says that he lived in Cordell at the time. I asked one of my friends who still lives there (and did at the time) and she had never heard about it either. We have been asking questions but no one seems to know anything. I searched the internet for him but can find nothing aside from the missing child page.
I know that this is probably hopeless, but I just wanted to tell everyone about this, because I think this clearly shows how people can stay missing--it is so sad that more people are not aware...
