Calif. Case Renews Hope For Father Of Missing Girl
Shannon Sherrill Disappeared In 1986

INDIANAPOLIS -- An Indiana father said he still holds out hope that the daughter who was taken from him more than 20 years ago will some day come home.Mike Sherrill told 6News' Renee Jameson that he has been watching closely the developments in the California case of a woman found 18 years after she was kidnapped.Police said Jaycee Lee Dugard was taken in 1991 when she was 11 years old and kept in the backyard of Phillip and Nancy Garrido.
Here in Indiana, Shannon Sherrill, 6, was last seen playing outside her mother's mobile home in Thorntown in October 1986."You never forget. Somewhere out there I have a little girl," Sherrill said.While he said he is encouraged by the California case, Sherrill said he is frustrated that a state police investigation was turned over to the Boone County prosecutor in 2007, but no charges have been filed.
Lt. Jeff Heck, who is now retired from the Indiana State Police, said he centered his investigation on a tip from an informant, and turned over the information, including the person's name, to the prosecutor.Prosecutor Todd Meyer was not available for an interview on Friday.
Mike Sherrill said he is confident his little girl is out there somewhere."Oh no, I've never given up hope," he said. "Someday we'll find her, or she'll find me.
"In 2003, Kansas resident Donna Walker claimed to be Shannon Sherrill, but it was later determined to be a hoax. She was sentenced to 18 months in prison after pleading guilty to impersonating the girl.Meyer's receptionist said the prosecutor would return Jameson's call on Monday.

That was great what Renee Jameson of Channel 6 did today by taking her camera right into the court house in an attempt to speak to Todd Meyer. Now the people can see what Mike has had to endure. She seems to think she will get a response now. We will see. 2 years is far to long to dodge a missing childs father.
It was also great that she also confirmed that in a phone conversation today with Lt. Jeff Heck of the ISP (before he retired) who was the investigator, turned the case over to Todd two years ago along with the name of who he thought was responsible. It's too bad that this aired at 7 pm on a friday night and most people missed it.
I certainly hope she persists on getting an answer from him as to why he hasn't brought this case before a grand jury as promised. Also, one attempt at a recovery is not enough. Shame on you Todd
