He then dropped her little sister to another sister’s residence before going to a party in Blue Berry Hill with his friends, after which he said he returned home and he realised Shonnette was not home. “When I go and look and see I left the key right where I left the key and I said this girl ain’t come home but I know the first time she did something like that and when I was looking for her, she was at her mother’s residence so I didn’t dig nothing, so I sleep,” he related. After calling her phone the next day and it was going to voicemail, he went over to the mother’s residence who told him Shonnette is not there and she did not sleep there. “Right away I start getting suspicious and I start calling all she friends to find out if they see this girl then I got to understand that the brother saw her over the river (Mackenzie) with a girl.
