Still Searching For Answers In Case Of Missing Prairie du Chien Woman

When 23-year-old Shannon Lynn Fischer went missing in December of last year, family members knew something was wrong.  She just disappeared, no word to family or friends, no goodbye to her two kids.  Now, 6 months later her family is still searching for Shannon and authorities are asking for your help in finding her.

"Somebody does not just disappear and no one knows anything," said Shannon's mother, Diane Bouzek.  For Shannon's family, her disappearance has been tough to understand.  "It's not like her to be gone and not phone home," said Bouzek, "Shannon was always in contact with us."

Shannon disappeared last December without notice, without explination, leaving behind 2 kids and a stunned family.  "Last we heard from her we were going to plan on Christmas and it never happened," said her father, Thomas.  "Shannon was a homebody," said Diane, "if Shannon left this area, it was not on her own free will."

For 6 months Shannon's family and police detectives have been working hard to bring her home.  "I've been hitting the streets and the woods and the ditches and the rivers," said Thomas.  "The amount of interviews and people we've talked to in this case, I can't even count them," said Detective Chad Abram, the lead detective in the case.

Abram thinks the key to solving this case will come from people in the community.  "Without help from the community it's going to be pretty tough," said Abram, "because I think somebody may know something still and may not come forward, has not told somebody yet."

Both Abram and Shannon's parents say they won't stop until she's home.  "We keep going everyday," said Diane, "each other's strength is what keeps us going."

There is a reward offered in this case for any information leading to Shannon.  Her parents and authorities want to remind everyone that even the smallest bit of information can help them in this case, so if you know anything, please come forward.
