Many people have asked about the fate of the children left behind when Christine Sheddy vanished in the Pokomoke City area Nov 13, 2007.  Christine has three children; two of them, (the young boys who were with her in Maryland) are now staying with their father Levi Hall, and his mother Joyce Hall in Milford, Delaware. 

I was surprised to learn this detail after Friday’s Dan Gaffney Show broadcast; surprised because Joyce Hall is an employee of WGMD radio.  She placed a note in my mailbox at work explaining she is Levi’s mother, and she and Levi are caring for the children.  Talk about hitting close to home!

I feel so sad for all the players involved in this story.  My heart breaks for Christine’s mother Lynn Dodenhoff of Bowers Beach who explained on the air Saturday, “I know, I know she is dead”.  Christine’s sister tells me via e-mail that she has just about lost all hope that Christine will be found alive.  Friends and family continue to ask for more news and co-operation from the police in Maryland. It is my wish you will somehow be able to find at least a moment of peace this Christmas to free you from the turmoil you are facing. 

We had some news that the FBI may be getting involved after our broadcast on Friday, but we are still waiting on “official” news of this from the police.  I must say I am also surprised the Delaware Sate Police are not talking about assisting in this case that remains officially just a “missing person” story.

This story has “foul play” written all over it.

Here is a link to the first blog post on the story.

Here is a link to a missing flyer that contains several pictures of Christine.

 

Christine Sheddy has been missing from our area since November 13, 2007.

WGMD Report:

A reward is being offered for information that leads to finding Christine Marie Sheddy, who has been missing since last month. Sheddy is 27 years old, about 5 feet, 3 inches tall and weighs 100 pounds. She went missing on Nov. 13, and at that time Sheddy had blond, shoulder-length hair. Sheddy and her two young sons were staying with her mother at her Bowers Beach home. Sheddy told her mother she was going to Pocomoke to visit a couple she met through her boyfriend, who is the father of her children. Anyone with information about Sheddy should contact the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation or the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office. Those numbers – 410-352-3476 or 410-632-1111.

The Maryland Coast Dispatch gives us this detail

Sheddy left her Bowers Beach, Del. home on Nov. 13 with her two sons, ages two and four, in tow to visit a couple in Pocomoke she had met earlier through her boyfriend. Sheddy remained behind with her two sons at the Pocomoke residence while the couple went to pick up their own children at school.
When the couple returned, Sheddy was gone and her two boys were left home alone. Sheddy was supposed to have returned to her Bowers Beach residence on Nov. 17. She was reported missing, touching off a search throughout the county and beyond. According to reports, Sheddy’s two sons are now staying with their father.

The couple is only known to me as “Tia and Junior”.  Family and friends tell me Christine had only recently met “Tia and Junior”.  I have also learned the couple has left the property where the disappearance happened and are living elsewhere in the area.

The girls mother Lynn Dodenhoff tells me her missing daughter will turn 27 years old Saturday.  I have interviewed friends, and family and other acquaintances of Christine; no on has heard from her.

BREAKING NEWS from The Talk of Delmarva:

Frank Infante
It has been confirmed that the 2 children of former Independent candidate for Delaware Governor, Frank Infante, were in family court today, and are no longer missing. This is the initial blog comment that tipped us off:

“The “Infante” kids are no longer missing. They were in family court today an were seen by Judge Blades. They went home with Melissa Simcox who is their sole custody parent”

The fact that the children are no longer missing was confirmed by WGMD News by calling the tipline set up to help locate the children. We were told Mr. Infante will be making a statement tomorrow.

On June 6th, Mr. Infante held a press conference at Legislative Hall to announce that his two children, Frankie, 9, and Frank, 7, had been missing since February and were last seen with their mother, Melissa Simcox, who had temporary custody.

UPDATE: WGMD has learned from Nate Simcox, the brother of Melissa Simcox, that she was awarded temporary custody of the two children by Family Court on Monday, and the appearance by the children in court today was to, “…see the children were in Delaware and under the court’s jurisdiction.”

 

 

  

Frank Infante, who ran as an Independent candidate for Delaware Governor, announced today that his children are missing.

Frankie Infante, age 9, 4′2″, blonde, blue eyes, 62 lbs.

Frank Infante, age 7, 4′1″, blonde, blue eyes, 65 lbs.   

Frankie Infante, age 9, and Frank Infante, age 7, have been missing since February and were last seen with Melissa Simcox. Simcox is being described as suffering from, “psychiatric problems, serious drug addiction problems, multiple suicide attempts and a documented history of violence towards herself and others.”

Legalities surrounding the custody battle with Simcox for the two children prevented Mr. Infante from declaring the them missing until now.
