7-Month-Old Girl Missing In Panhandle

POSTED: Sunday, November 1, 2009
UPDATED: 8:55 pm EST November 1, 2009

Officials in Florida's Panhandle are looking for a 7-month-old baby who disappeared from a Chipley home and that they are considering endangered.

The Washington County Sheriff's Office said Shannon Lea Dedrick disappeared from a home about 11:30 a.m. Saturday.

The child was reported missing by the parents and an active search is under way in the Brown Street area of Chipley. Search and rescue teams from Bay, Gulf, Jackson and Liberty counties are assisting in the search, was well as the Graceville Police Department.

Washington County Sheriff Bobby Haddock told the Panama City News Herald that nothing at this time makes them think the baby was abducted, but she "didn’t crawl or walk away."

The girl is 2 feet tall, weighs 11 pounds and has brown hair and blue eyes.

Late Sunday, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement issued a statewide alert for the child.

Anyone with information about the child is asked to call the Washington County Sheriff’s Office at 850-638-6111.

Sheriff's Department Issues Search For 7 Month Old Girl (UPDATE)

Missing from her home on Brown Street in Chipley since around noon on Saturday.
Monday November 2nd, 2009
 
November 2, 2009

Heard from Shannon's aunt in Texas this morning and she would like area residents to know that Shannon's mother, Christina, suffers from a growth development problem that may have been passed down to her daughter.  The problem includes a somewhat larger than average head, which her aunt says should make it easier to spot Shannon..
 

by Kathy Foster
 

            A Florida MISSING CHILD Alert has been issued for Shannon Lea Dedrick, a white female, 7 months old, 2 feet tall, 11 pounds, brown hair, and blue eyes.  She was last seen at her residence in Chipley on 10/31/09.   If you have any information on the whereabouts of this child please contact the Washington County Sheriff's Office at 850-638-6111 or 911.


The Washington County Sheriff's Department is continuing a search for blonde, blue eyed, seven month old Shannon Dedrick of 263 Brown Street in Chipley.  (Shown at left)
 

The photo at the left was submitted by Lynda Padgett, aunt of the missing child. Padget lives in Texas and reports that Shannon's mother first moved to the Ebro area to live with her grandfather and later moved to the Chipley area with her then boyfriend.

According to Sheriff Bobby Haddock,  (shown at the right with Tommy Ford of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), his department is following up every lead in their search for the child that has been missing since around noon on Saturday.

In a press conference Sunday Washington County Sheriff Bobby Haddock that nothing at the present makes them think the baby was abducted, but added that the infant "didn’t crawl or walk away."

Haddock said the call reporting the missing child was received by his department around 11:50 a.m. Oct. 31st and the FDLE, along with Search & Rescue from Jackson, Liberty, Bay and Calhoun counties have been at the scene. The Sheriff said the child was in the home of her parents when she went missing.

Haddock reported Sunday afternoon that approxiamtely 75 people are searching the wooded and swampy terrain area surrounding the home.

OMG not another one. I really hope that 11 pounds is a typo. If not that is really small for a 7 month old. My gut says this is not going to turn out well for this precious little one.

Good Morning Monkeys and Guest!

Are you refering to the baby, Shannon, about 7 months old going missing from Brown St. in Chipley, Fl.? I know her! She is a very sweet child, I hope they find her soon! I know more but can't say much right now.

Well, the baby is my aunts niece. The parents to the little girl were neglectful, and the mother has already said she put the baby in the woods, and covered her with leaves. I hope the Lord takes care of her!

But the mother will not tell them WHERE in the woods she put the baby! It has been really cold for 2 nights now, and raining! I pray for the best, but fear the worst!

Yes, it will come back to her for doing this! She has not cried once since baby Shannon went missing, and the baby was "found" missing by her parents at 9am Sat. morning, but didn't call the law until almost lunch time! The mother has made the comments before that she wished Shannon was dead, and Friday night the mother took the baby "walking" late that night! I know she did it, and she told the police already that she put her in the woods and covered her with leaves! Tell me what mother would do that! I am just beside myself!

Rusty is my aunts brother. Rusty is tina's boyfriend! When everyone was given the lie detector test, everyone passed except Tina. She failed. Tina told rusty what she had done, and rusty told my aunt. When my aunt told the detective what Tina had said, he said that Tina had actually told them that already. Confusing, but Tina has made the remarks before that she wish Shannon was dead. If you are from Texas I am quessing you are her mother. I know you had a reporter from Texas come to help, but search parties are still looking for the baby in the woods, and until proof comes Tina can't be held in custody. My prayers are with you all. I was holding Shannon only a couple of days ago, it just don't seem right. Tina took Shannon walking in the stroller late Friday night. She woke up to notice Shannon gone at 9am but didnt call the law til lunch.

What an awful story. I pray this child is safe - if she is it only by the power of angles watching over her.  an angelic monkey Why would the grandparents not report that this child was in danger?  IF the parents are mentally +++++++ or mom said she wished the baby dead, then WHY would someone not have CPS out there? I know in Michigan they give in home help to parents to teach them how to parent. Does anyone know if they have had dogs out looking in the woods? I know there are lots of leaves ect on the ground here but still the dogs should be able to find her.

This is why I am so pro adoptioin - there are lots of parents out there that would have loved and cared for this child. Instead it seems that society encourages young unfit parents to keep the kids. How selfish!

Search continues for missing baby
November 02, 2009 8:59 AM
ANDREW GANT, Florida Freedom Newswire

CHIPLEY – Authorities from four counties were searching the woods early Sunday for a 7-month-old baby missing since Saturday morning.

The child, Shannon Lea Dedrick, “didn’t crawl or walk away,” said Washington County Sheriff Bobby Haddock.

Asked what could have happened to the child, Haddock said investigators were “looking at everything” and “at this time, we couldn’t say.”

Haddock also said “there’s nothing to lead us to believe at this time that this is an abduction.”

The infant was reported missing from the family’s Brown Street home about 11:30 a.m. Saturday. Both the mother and father were present, Haddock said.

Search-and-rescue teams from Bay, Gulf and Liberty counties joined Washington County authorities combing a wooded area near the house.
They searched until 1:30 a.m., Haddock said, without any luck.


The site was south of U.S. 90, an area of dense woods near South Boulevard and Orange Hill Road.

Haddock said the case still was considered a search and rescue effort, not a search and recovery.


He asked anyone with information in the disappearance to call the Washington County Sheriff’s Office at 638-6111.

The state Department of Law Enforcement also issued a missing child alert, listing the little girl as 2 feet long and 11 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes.

Good Morning Monkeys and Guest!

Darla - I found this and think that 11 lbs could be right if she does have this condition.  Still very timy though...

--snipped--

Shannon’s aunt from Texas notified the sheriff’s office to tell them she would like the area residents to know that Shannon’s mother, Christina suffers from a growth development problem that Shannon could have inherited. She says the problem includes a somewhat larger than average head. She is reporting this in hopes that this would make her niece easier for a stranger to spot.
