Search for Missing Mother of 3 Christine Sheddy to Finally Be Held!
Ok here's the details....
There will be a community search for Missing Women Christine Sheddy on March 21st; weather permitting (nothing but a torrential rain or massive snow storm, will keep them from searching)
Greg Holland of Flat Land Search and Rescue told me this morning that his team will be meeting at 9 am the morning of the 21st at the Pocomoke Elks Lodge. He stated that they would use the parking lot at the Elks as a staging area for the club.
Anyone who is interested in assisting in the search will need to be at the Elks Lodge located on Rte. 113 in Pocomoke approximately 1 mile north of the intersection of Rt.'s 13 and 113, at or before 9 am that morning.
According to Mr. Holland, he will break the community volunteers up into groups that will be accompanied by members of his team and they will be briefed on how to participate in the search, including where and how to walk, and what to look for.
If you would like to assist in this search please contact me at your earliest convenience at wymzie@wymzie.com and let me know your level of interest and participation.
Additionally, if you are going to participate in the actual search you will need to click here to print and sign an Indemnification that you will not hold the property owners responsible if you are hurt or injured while searching. Once you have printed and signed this you will be required to bring this with you to the search in order to participate. If you are not able to do this, there will be forms on hand to sign the morning of the search before you begin.
Keep in mind, even if you can't personally participate in this search there are many things that you can do to help. There will be dozens and dozens of folks involved and they will get thirsty and hungry. If you would like to donate your time or finances in sponsoring snacks and beverages to the volunteers, it would be greatly appreciated. Even if that is just a case of water, or a couple of gallons of gas, or a plate of cookies, any donations of time, food, gas or funds will be heartily welcomed!
Mr. Holland said that his team consists mostly of Fire Fighters, EMT's and Paramedics, who constantly train to improve their skills and abilities in search and rescue under all kinds of conditions from fire to floods, to mountain rescue.
The day has finally come, and this family needs closure. Lets do what we can as a community to once and for all know that we have done all that we know to do to find Christine.

Is this a foot search only, or will we bring 4 wheelers?
and what about dogs?
Flat Land Search and Rescue will have 4 wheelers with them from what I understand. If you would like to bring yours, and have experience doing this, I'm sure it would be greatly appreciated.
Flat Land Search & Rescue are dedicated to what they do. I have faith that if something is out this group will find it. They don't give up,I've seem them in action.
I want to know what Jr. knows about this?
Can I bring my helicopter?
-Capt. Willie
Jr. knows everything but will say nothing. Wont even take a polygraph. That speaks volumes!!!! see you there Capt. Willie.
I hope there can be some closure for this young woman's family. I have this date on my calender, and would love to help. I have to get back to you on that. What about bringing our dogs?
Beginning at the Pocomoke Elks Lodge; they'll all be drunk before they leave the parking lot.
I am in still in awe that the last people to see her alive havent been "leaned on" more heavily.I hope her family can find some resolution to this.
I think that all of the help we can get will be appreciated.
All of the folks who are asking about dogs, please contact Mr. Holland and see. If they are trained blood hounds or cadaver dogs and you know how to operate with them I am sure that you know what to do.
Gregg's number is at the bottom of the post.
Jr's brother has been commenting on the Tattler and you can read the rattle that he's stating there.
Joe,
I think that you should keep this near the top of the page for a few days, and then run it again next week, in order to try to get as many people as possible to participate.
It would be nice to see the volunteer fire departments from this area participate too.
Just a thought.
