0:00.0	When a Pennsylvania woman disappears without a trace, the only thing that seems certain is the likelihood of foul play.
0:07.0	A contentious divorce, personal vulnerabilities, four mysterious men and other factors are explored in this episode of Last Seen Alive.
0:36.2	I'm your host, Leah, crime analyst by day and true crime
0:40.3	storyteller by night. And I'm still your host, Scott. Jennifer Cahill Shaddle was last seen alive on May 15th,
0:49.5	2014, and her hometown of State College, Pennsylvania.
1:00.6	At the time, the 48-year-old mother of three was going through a period of seismic life changes.
1:07.0	After 27 years of marriage, she was in the midst of a divorce from her husband, Sean.
1:13.5	Jennifer had spent virtually her entire adult life in the marriage, and its dissolution had shifted her world on its axis. By all accounts, the divorce was a contentious one. Sean had

1:56.5	her children was incredibly difficult. Shortly before her disappearance, Jennifer moved back to State
2:02.2	College in order to be closer to her children. In State College, Jennifer no longer had a home to call
2:09.4	her own. Sean was living in the home they co-owned, and with living together off the table,
2:15.0	she immediately began to search for an apartment.
2:22.1	Meanwhile, she'd sometimes stay with friends for short periods of time.
2:24.5	Other times, she'd stay at motels.
2:29.9	It wasn't an ideal living situation, but it was only supposed to be temporary, and she was closer to her kids, which was what really mattered to her.
