Summary

On March 22, 2010, 23-year-old Nokesville, Virginia resident Shane Donahue was having a good day. He had just gotten paid $5,000 in cash for installing ceiling tiles at a local business. He was with his buddy, Timothy Hickerson, who helped him with the job. The friends went over to Shane’s parents’ house for a while before getting into Timothy’s truck and heading off. But no one ever saw Shane again after that. And now, over 10 years later, a grieving family continues to be rocked by tragedy while searching for answers as rumors and accusations swirl around their small town.

0:00.0	Tragedy isn't like lightning. Sometimes the family is struck over and over again. One of our goals
0:09.0	in this podcast is to try to go beyond the missing pretty white girl victim that the media tends to
0:13.7	feature. People of all races, genders, and ethnicities go missing and they are loved just as much
0:20.0	as the ones who get a ton of media
0:21.4	coverage. This week's story is about someone who isn't a media perfect victim, but he is someone
0:28.2	who has a family who desperately loves him and is counting down the days until they can get answers
0:33.6	and some sense of closure. On March 23rd, 2010, 23-year-old Shane Donahue left his parents home in Noakesville, Virginia,
0:42.7	and told them that he loved them.
0:44.8	It was a completely ordinary day full of completely ordinary activities.
0:49.4	Shane, who didn't drive at the time, got a ride with his buddy Timothy Hickerson. Within 10 minutes, both of
0:56.3	Shane's cell phones were dead or off, and Shane was never seen nor heard from again. Over the past
1:04.8	decade, there have been many allegations made by both the Donahue and Hickerson families, but
1:09.9	little in the way of answers or
1:11.6	immediate coverage.
1:13.6	When a person goes missing, there's a special kind of pain in the not knowing.
1:17.6	I want to tell the stories of those who never came home.
1:20.6	I want to tell you the story of Shane Donahue.
1:23.6	I'm Conan Gallagher.
1:25.6	And I'm Ethan Flick.
1:26.6	And this is, and then they were gone. Shane Ryan Donahue, or Bubba, as his parents called him, was born in Virginia on August 22,
1:54.8	1986 to Brian and Donna Donahue. As the middle of three kids, Shane led a pretty normal life in Noxville, Virginia.
2:03.8	And for those of you who don't know, that makes this a local case for us. We're only about 45 minutes
