This is one of the best things that I could wake up to! Last night I was worried that she would be gone and never seen again. This story has taken quite a turn over the past day or so. Yesterday it was reported that a Susan Elizabeth Baker may be the person of interest in this case, and that has turned out to be true. However, the weird part is that she is also associated with another missing child, Paul Leonard Baker, her stepson, who has been missing since 1987 out of South Carolina, along with her husband, James Arthur Baker. He has been arrested in this case as well. Hopefully both situations will be resolved here shortly. But Shannon Dedrick has been found and is alive, which is absolutely wonderful! Her mother, Chrystina Lynn Mercer, has also been arrested in this case, but Shannon has been found alive. She is now in protective custody but doing well!
