NEWAYGO, Mich. (WOOD) - The body of Shannon Siders will be reburied on the 23rd anniversary of the day her body was discovered in a federal forest.
Shannon was abducted on July 18, 1989 and murdered.
A cold case team has been looking into her unsolved murder intensely the past 10 months. Her remains were exhumed July 26, as investigators hoped to uncover new clues in her death.
Shannon's father, Robert Siders was at her graveside the day she was exhumed. He spoke with 24 Hour News 8 about his hopes of finding his daughter's killer.
“We feel a great gratitude for all that the media have done to help in this case. They really need to be invited and they are welcome to come,” he said in July.. “I know it’s an old story but it’s an unfinished story. And every time they come we get new leads.”
Community members are welcome to attend Shannon's reburial on Monday, October 15 at 2 p.m. at her gravesite in the Newaygo City Cemetery.
