I believe the key is Shannon's leather jacket. This is the most durable item missing. If she was stripping off all her clothes according to LE's theory, the heavy jacket would have come off first. There are articles not available from 2010 that I suspect had clues written or leaked that LE did not want out and many of these early interviews are gone. I could only find this old quote from 2010: Her mother, Mari Gilbert, has said that her daughter's last phone call was “…23 minutes to 911 when she was grabbed and pulled into a truck.”. I remember reading specifically in 2010, that Shannon's leather coat was found at entrance of the expressway, but this info is no longer around.
It is well documented that the officer who responded to the 911 calls from oak beach residents found a leather coat within the gated community and not near any highway.
It was found at the edge of the entrance of the gated community and exit corner of the highway, This information was in many articles from 2010 that are now nowhere to be found and was the ONLY piece of evidence I remember vividly from many years ago and that they mentioned more than once in 2010 that there was evidence she was taken or jumped willingly into a passing vehicle.
All due respect but your description of the location suggests that you have never driven or waked through the community because what you see on a map is not what it is like when you do. The entrance to the community gate IS NOT to throw highway. You'd need backtrack all the way to the old Oak Beach Inn parking lot to get to the highway. She could have accomplished this by simply waking through Brewer's or Colletti's property ifor she wanted to get to the highway. That parking lot was always brightly lighted. What is this fictitious "exit corner of a highway" that you described? Chances are, it was horrible reporting by the newspaper journalist who wrote it.
There is no fictitious corner, I was simply writing what 'my' recollection was from articles many years ago. 'Where ever,' , the jacket was found, it led Mari and others who were officials at the time to believe she was running down the expressway. And of course I have not 'walked through that community. I am not from that community. And it was not horrible reporting, in one article Mari was also led to believe that Shannon was swiped of the road into a vehicle from some detail she was told was on that long call to 911.
Truth Spider (mentioned that in the past) ...... but he never confirmed where that information came from. So it has never been prooved that he lived in Queens... If you have a link could you provide one ..... because that has been a nagging question for alot of us... Apart from SM linking him to Atlanta. .... the guy really is a bit of a mystery.
Shannans jacket is missing. It was reported that SG jacket was in someones driveway for a couple of days before someone picked it up.
This Pak guy has a lot to answer for and we have had nothing. .... He is a ghost..... He worked for the same company that Mr Ruis operated... same as Shannan...... Racking in millions a year for high price call girls who also delivered drugs.... So wished someone. ........in law enforcement would actually get off their......finger up to the establishment and expose this crap.....find the evidence.... Track the arse of pak......

This idea may have some real merit, and has been suggested by other posters as well. When you consider the rumors of local law enforcement being involved in a cover-up it, your suggestion bears serious consideration.
Client "leads" may come from different sources during the night -- some replying to an CL/BP advertisement, some through an agency dispatch. Some through the girl's phone, some through the driver's -- depending on the lead. My guess is though Shannan had switched from "agency dispatch" business model to "online ad/driver" model there were still leads coming in to Pak's phone from his agency contacts. It's hard to tell -- especially since there were claims by Brewer that Shannan wasn't what he expected and she looked different in her photos (which would suggest he responded to her online ad). Also possible Shannan used Pak's number in her CL ad rather than list her own -- that way if a potential client called they'd reach Pak playing poker and not Shannan who may be with a client and not available to answer the call.
Here's a 2005 record for a "Minchul Pak" State of NY unclaimed property. https://ouf.osc.state.ny.us/ouf/?x=7Go91l*PqbJ0DrohGKpYaQ Wiki: Sunnyside is a working and middle-class neighborhood in the Western portion of the New York City borough of Queens.
Excerpt from May 5, 2011 Public Safety Committee of Suffolk County Legislature: Chief Varrone: We had made up our minds that we were going to expand the search after the snow-melt and prior to the growing of the foliage in the spring, which we did. And that, of course, resulted in a find on March 29th by a Marine Bureau Officer who happened to be -- after we had done another extensive search in the Oakdale area -- again, we're still looking for Shannon Gilbert -- he's driving along Ocean Parkway towards the end of our search on that particular day and something catches his attention on the side of the road. (BBM) OAKDALE??? Is this a Varrone misspeak? Or a typo by the court stenographer who took the minutes and it was supposed to be Oak Beach? Or is this a whole new piece of information?
