http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/l/labau_shannon.html Shannon Clair LaBau Above: LaBau, circa 1999 Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance Missing Since: February 23, 1999 from Helena, Montana Classification: Endangered Missing Date of Birth: October 31, 1975 Age: 23 years old Height and Weight: 6'3, 240 pounds Distinguishing Characteristics: Caucasian male. Blond hair, blue eyes. LaBau wears contact lenses. He has an unfinished tattoo of a black dragon on his upper right arm, a faint one-inch scar on his forehead between his eyes, and a mole on his neck. LaBau's left ear has previously been pierced. Clothing/Jewelry Description: Unknown, but he usually wears blue jeans, t-shirts, sneakers, and quilted plaid flannel jackets. Details of Disappearance LaBau was last seen on February 23, 1999. He told his mother he was going to Townsend, Montana with a friend to possibly buy a car, and would return to his Helena, Montana home later that day. LaBau's friend claims he dropped him off in the vicinity of the 900 block of Kessler in Helena at 9:00 a.m. He has never been heard from again. LaBau had an appointment with an optometrist to renew his contact lens prescription. The appointment was set for after his disappearance; he did not arrive as scheduled. He also left money behind in his bank account and uncollected paychecks at his place of employment. LaBau's red 1976 Chevrolet truck with Montana license plates numbered 5T31420 apparently disappeared with him; it has not been recovered. Although police have found no evidence of foul play in his case, his mother believes he may be deceased, as LaBau has a young child and it would be uncharacteristic of him to abandon her. His case remains unsolved.

http://www.helenair.com/articles/2005/12/2...01122405_06.txt 1994 missing person case remains unsolved By the Independent Record - 12/24/05 According to Det. Rich Drysdale, one of the perks of living in a relatively small town is that crimes don’t often remain unsolved, and missing people don’t often stay lost. Helena resident Shannon LaBau is an exception to that rule, and so is John Reamer. Reamer disappeared from his apartment on Wilder Street at the end of March in 1994. According to Lt. Dave Jeseritz, who is investigating the case, a friend dropped Reamer at his apartment on the evening of Sunday, March 27, 1994. The next day, Reamer didn’t show up for a fishing trip with another friend. Then, he failed to show up for classes at Carroll College. On April 4, 1994, a missing person report was filed with the Helena Police Department. In retrospect, Jeseritz said officials should have investigated Reamer’s disappearance more aggressively at the time. However, Reamer had a number of reasons to leave town and it didn’t come as much of surprise he was gone. He was under state supervision at the time of his disappearance in connection with a 1992 assault that occurred at a Manhattan, Mont. bar. According to court documents, he was in danger of being taken back into custody after receiving two DUIs a few months before he was reported missing. A close friend of Reamer’s, Three Forks resident Sandy Kamerman, said she thinks his disappearance was more suspicious than police officers originally thought. Kamerman explained that Reamer shared a young son with her daughter, had a strong support system, attended college classes and was building a new life in Helena. She added that when she and her daughter were asked by Reamer’s landlord to clean out his apartment, they found his billfold, his school books and his car, parked in the street. But his favorite cowboy hat was gone. While Kamerman concedes that Reamer had a chemical dependency problem, in addition to mental illness, she doesn’t think he would leave without a word, and isn’t convinced that he’s dead. Jeseritz wants to reveal Reamer’s fate to give Kamerman and Reamer’s family members some peace. |

http://www.helenair.com/articles/2001/10/0...eadline/1a3.txt Officials tout success of Crimestoppers on anniversary By CAROLYNN McLUSKEY, IR Staff Writer 20-year-old program has given authorities tips that helped solve many area crimes. Two-and-a-half years after his disappearance, Helena resident Shannon LaBau is still missing. Investigators diligently follow up on every lead that crosses their desks — patiently waiting for the one that will lead them to LaBau. Helena Crimestoppers board member Jim Anderson is confident that a tip coming through the community’s Crimestoppers line will break the case. “Hopefully we’ll get that little bit of information that will turn that thing around,” said Anderson, who used to coordinate the program for the Helena Police Department. That has been the case on more than one occasion since the establishment of the Helena Crimestoppers program in 1981, he said. This month marks the 20th anniversary of the anonymous tip line — 20 very successful years, he added. Anderson, who has watched the program develop from its inception, said that area residents have made 4,311 calls to the tip line since 1981, resulting in the arrest of 652 offenders and the pay out of $54,145 in reward money. He explained that the program was slow to get started due to a lack of understanding among members of the public about the goals of the program. However, once the community became familiar with the process, the calls flooded in. According to Anderson, Crimestoppers strives to protect the anonymity of callers by assigning each caller a number. Callers to the line are instructed to call back periodically to find out if a reward has been attached to his or her identification number. Rewards may be picked up at pre-arranged locations. “Anonymity is so important to what we are trying to do,” Anderson said. Successes Throughout his tenure as Lewis and Clark County attorney, Attorney General Mike McGrath said he found the program to be invaluable. “It is one of the more effective tools for law enforcement that I have seen,” he said, adding that Crimestoppers tips have resulted in numerous arrests in this community. In fact, a tip to the line led investigators to the suspect in McGrath’s final murder prosecution as Lewis and Clark County attorney — Richard Edward Shreves. Walker T. Byrd was gunned down outside his mother’s Ninth Avenue home in January 2000. His killer eluded police until May of that year when a Crimestoppers tip led investigators to Shreves, who was being held in Idaho for allegedly robbing a credit union there. Seven months after Shreves’ arrest in the case, a Helena jury found him guilty of the murder charge against him. Shreves was sentenced to 100 years in Montana State Prison. He won’t be eligible for parole until his 60th birthday. Crimestoppers also played an integral role in the arrests of two men who beat East Helena resident Donna Meagher to death in January 1994, McGrath said. Meagher, 34, disappeared from the Jackson Creek Saloon in Montana City where she was working on Jan. 12. Her lifeless body was discovered in a ditch along Colorado Gulch later the same day. Nine months later, Judy and Dan Knipshield called the Crimestoppers line, leading murder investigators to their son-in-law, Fred Joe Lawrence, and his friend, Paul Jenkins. The Knipshields waived anonymity for their assistance in the arrests so that they may collect a $3,000 reward check from the Tri-County Tavern Association in addition to the Crimestoppers award. A Helena jury convicted the men and District Court Judge Dorothy McCarter sentenced the pair to 240 years apiece in Montana State Prison. The investigation in both of these cases had stagnated, but the Crimestoppers tips revitalized efforts and ultimately led to successful resolutions, McGrath said. In the works According to Officer Debrah Fosket, who coordinates the Crimestoppers program for the Helena Police Department, investigators in the LaBau case have not given up hope that similar tips will result in the successful resolution of the ongoing missing person case. While the bulk of the tips to the Crimestoppers line revolve around warrants and drug cases, tips about LaBau’s whereabouts continue to trickle in, Fosket said. In fact, two such tips were called in to the line in August. “Unfortunately they didn’t pan out,” she said. Despite the dead ends encountered in the past, Fosket added, she will continue to pass on any information — no matter how mundane — to the detective assigned to LaBau’s case, knowing full well that even the most basic information might lead to closure. Looking to the future Anderson said last week that he doesn’t foresee any drastic changes in the operation of the Crimestoppers program in the future. “It’s been 20 years and it’s still going,” he said. “That’s impressive.” However, Anderson said Crimestoppers board members and local law enforcement groups are looking forward to this week’s Montana Crimestoppers Conference to be held at the Downtown Holiday Inn as a forum to gather new ideas. “We’ll look at how Crimestoppers programs from across the state can better organize to make this a more favorable or productive group,” he said. The conference — geared toward civilian Crimestoppers board members and law enforcement personnel — will run Oct. 4-5 and cover topics ranging from the impact of methamphetamine labs in Montana to fundraising efforts. “We’ll get to pick each other’s brains,” Anderson said. Whatever developments result from the state-wide conference, McGrath hopes program coordinators preserve its roots. “I would hope Crimestoppers will continue as a community-based program for many years to come,” said McGrath. “Getting people from the community involved is an important asset to law enforcement activities.” Anyone interested in donating money or getting involved in the Crimestoppers program, or for more information about this week’s Crimestoppers conference, should call Crimestoppers Board Chairman Tom England at 495-7220. |

Cold Case: 1999 disappearance of Shannon LaBau Posted: Feb 24, 2011 5:14 PM by Melissa Anderson It was February 23, 1999, when 23-year-old Shannon LaBau of Helena disappeared. You may have seen the "Missing" posters across town and in the post office. Friends and family of Shannon LaBau want to put an end to not knowing what happened to him. The last time he was seen, he was reportedly on his way to Townsend with a friend. Detective Rich Drysdale of the Helena Police Department said, "Shannon LaBau was last seen on February 23, 1999, withdrawing money from the Helena Community Credit Union on Getchell, and left with a friend to the Townsend area, never to be seen again. His family has been desperately wanting information in trying to identify the location of where Shannon may be, to recover his remains if they're in the area." If you have any information about the disappearance or Shannon's whereabouts, please contact the Helena Police Detectives at 447-8471. In the event your tip leads to an arrest, you may be eligible for a cash reward through Crimestoppers. http://www.krtv.com/news/cold-case-1999-di...-shannon-labau/ |

As much as Sally hopes her son will be home this Christmas to celebrate the holiday season with his family, she says she’s being realistic about the situation. “It’s something we knew within a month after he disappeared — that he might be dead,” she said recently. “He’s not the kind, was never the kind, to walk away from something, especially his family.” Shannon, 24, disappeared from Helena on Feb. 23, 1999. According to his mother, Shannon’s plans that day were to catch a ride to Townsend with a friend, maybe buy a car, then return to Helena. A friend of Shannon’s told investigators he dropped Shannon off in downtown Helena that morning, and that was the last time anyone saw him. While Shannon’s mother doesn’t want to completely give up hope that her son will come home, alive and well, she also understands that Shannon has been gone for almost seven years. And she believes numerous factors about his disappearance don’t add up. For example, Shannon wore contact lenses and had an appointment with his eye doctor to renew his prescription. He never showed up. Shannon had money sitting in his bank account and paychecks waiting for him at work. He never collected them. Most important, however, Shannon had a young daughter waiting at home for his return. Jayden is still waiting. While Saindon worked Shannon’s case, he interviewed witnesses, retraced Shannon’s steps from the last several days he was in town, and even flew over several areas where tipsters thought Shannon’s remains might be located. A couple of years ago, K9 units visiting Helena for a training session scoured an area in the Spokane Hills for any sign of Shannon’s remains. Drysdale has continued to take calls from informants — he said he’s seen an increase in those types of contacts recently — and has followed the standard investigative methods to bring the case to a resolution. The detective said a number of people have called him about the case, but on more than one occasion, have failed to keep their appointments with him. “I think people have reservations (about talking about Shannon’s disappearance),” Drysdale said. “They’re scared.” Drysdale hopes the fact Shannon’s family is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person/s responsible for his disappearance will prompt people to volunteer information that would be helpful for his investigation. http://www.helenair.com/articles/200...1122405_02.txt |

The mystery of the disappearance of Shannon LaBau eight years ago today, his sister thinks, will likely be solved by science. In memory of her brother and in effort to help someday close the case, Kari Weber has helped create a scholarship fund, which will give preference to biology students. “Because in my mind, his case will be solved by forensics,” Weber said. Although his family has been hanging up posters and keeping LaBau’s name in the public’s minds since he disappeared on Feb. 23, 1999, they recently received added incentive to gain closure in the issue. His mother, Sally LaBau, has been diagnosed with cancer and will begin treatment within the next few weeks. Weber said the diagnosis has pushed her to set up the scholarship at Carroll College, where she works as an accountant, so her mother can see it come to fruition. Sally LaBau said although she hopes he is still alive, she would at least like to be able to bury her son. http://www.helenair.com/articles/200...000missing.txt |

http://www.krtv.com/news/somber-anniversar...-disappearance/ Shannon LaBau of Helena was reported missing 13 years ago on this date, February 23rd. Family members and law enforcement officials believe he was killed. Shannon's sister Kari Weber said, "Its torture not knowing, you know, you get up every morning thinking, 'Are we going to find Shannon today?'" Graduating in 1994 from Helena High School, Shannon was described as a mild mannered person who lived life a little on the edge. On that February day in 1999, he was said to be headed to Townsend with a friend to purchase a vehicle - but was never seen again. Don Whitney, a private investigator with Orion International, said, "He's not been seen since and I believe very strongly that he was probably murdered on that day." Billboards lined the edges of several Helena streets, touting a reward for information in the case. Shannon's 1 1/2 year old daughter, Jaden, even pleaded for the return of her daddy. Weber noted, "She's a teenager now and she really would like to know what happened to her father." Whitney took the case on a pro-bono basis two years after Shannon disappeared. Whitney says like any cold case, information is there in the beginning and then dissipates as the case grows older. He noted, "Quite often it's the real small information that they think is insignificant which helps the most in some of these cases." Over the years, Whitney says he has interviewed dozens of people trying to track down Shannon's whereabouts. He believes if they find his body, they can prove the crime, adding, "I think probably a prosecution would be down the road after that." On the anniversary of his disappearance, the family would like closure. By raising more reward money they are hoping to bring Shannon's body home; Shannon's sister Pat Anderson said, "I more than anything want to find Shannon for us. As far as that person is concerned, he will someday down the road meet his maker and as far as I'm concerned, that's good enough for me." The family wants to raise between $10,000 and $20,000 in reward money for the arrest or conviction of his killer, or the whereabouts of his remains. If you have any information that may help, you're asked to call Helena CrimeStoppers at 443-2000 or 866-534-5541, or visit HelenaCS.com. There is also a Facebook page and a website devoted to helping find Shannon. |

Sisters still looking for brother who disappeared 13 years ago By ANGELA BRANDT Independent Record The Billings Gazette | Posted: Monday, March 12, 2012 9:00 am | No Comments Posted ELIZA WILEY/Independent Record Shannon Clair LaBau's sisters Pat Andersen, right, and Kari Weber hold hope that they could still find out what happened to their brother 13 years ago and bring some closure to their family. loading Loading… * Sisters of missing man * Shannon Clair LaBau HELENA -- From an early age, Shannon Clair LaBau was a Mama's boy. When he was about 8 years old, LaBau was supposed to visit some family members. After about an hour in the car, he began to panic and cry that he wanted his mommy. The vehicle was turned around and he was reunited with his beloved mother. In high school, Sally LaBau painted the logo of her son's favorite band, Guns N' Roses on his denim jacket. The two remained close through his adolescence and into adulthood. LaBau, an avid meat and potatoes guy, would tease his vegetarian mother incessantly, but all in good fun. LaBau and his mother shared an affinity for animals. They kept 10-pound bags of dog food in the car so they could give them to homeless people who had dogs. His pet, a wolf and German shepherd cross named Harley, was not the smartest or most attractive dog but LaBau adored it anyway. He rescued Harley from the pound even though the dog had bad legs and hips and a monstrous tongue that barely fit in his mouth. Although he was large, somewhat gruff and stood 6-foot-5, LaBau was reluctant to do anything on his own. His sisters said he wouldn't even go to the bank alone. When he disappeared 13 years ago, his family knew he did not disappear on his own. "He would never hurt Mom like that," said his sister, Kari Weber. "The sad thing is until a body shows up -- there's a glimmer of hope that he's still alive. But, we know what happened. We know he's dead. It's that cruel twist," Weber said. LaBau, who worked as a cook, was 23 when he disappeared. No trace has been found. His mother's dying wish was to find her son or his remains or at least know what became of him. That didn't happen. "In our minds, we're 100 percent sure he's dead. In our hearts, there's that 1 percent," said Pat Andersen, LaBau's sister. "We are still looking for him. We promised Mom we wouldn't stop searching." Just prior to her passing from cancer in 2007, Sally LaBau had her son declared legally dead. "One of the hardest days of my life was taking Mama to the courthouse," Andersen said. LaBau was respectful, nice and loving. Andersen said he was a proud, doting father as well. His daughter, Jayden, was a year old when her father disappeared. "This is for her but it's also for the rest of the family. We need it as bad as she does," said Andersen. "We've been through hell here." Sally LaBau's death hindered efforts to find out what happened to LaBau. But, with the assistance of one of his high-school teachers, there is a renewed hope. "Maybe it will be lucky 13 this year," Weber said. Anderson hopes the family's efforts, along with the work of the police and a private investigator, will produce answers. "They're still working it but it's not on the front burner anymore. It is a cold case for sure," she said. Suspicion but no evidence LaBau was last seen February 23, 1999. He told his mother he was traveling with a friend to Townsend to look at a muscle car he was interested in purchasing. LaBau took a couple thousand dollars out of his bank account in Helena. That was the last time he was seen alive. "Even though he has been declared dead, he's still listed as missing under suspicious circumstances," said Richard Drysdale, a detective with the Helena Police department, who has been working the case since 2004. The story of what happened after the bank visit, as told by his friend, has changed several times. One version was that LaBau was dropped off near his apartment in downtown Helena. During another interview, police were told he caught a ride to Butte. Police attempted to find the rancher, who LaBau was supposedly meeting to check out the car, to no avail. His last confirmed activity was at the bank. "I do believe there was foul play. I have a suspect in mind and I just to work it the best I can with what I have," said Drysdale, who continues to conduct interviews and investigate leads. Both Drysdale and the family have also worked with psychics. The detective said one psychic said LaBau had made contact and flashed images of a location near Canyon Ferry Reservoir. Other anonymous tips include a possible shallow grave in the Townsend area. When the weather warms, officials will explore the areas again. "A circumstantial case could still be built. We can do it without a body," Drysdale said. "Even though it's a cold case, if enough evidence comes forward, we can prosecute." Hope for new information LaBau's sisters are hoping people who may know details about their brother's disappearance have matured over time. "They might understand the pain now. Maybe someone will step forward because it's now more personal to them," Andersen said. Years ago, Sally LaBau bought controversial billboards near the Montana State Prison with photos of her son and the last person known to have seen him alive. The family hoped someone with knowledge of the man's disappearance might come forward. But no new leads have materialized. If the weight of knowing about the case is not enough incentive, the family and private investigator Don Whitney are working to gather money for a reward. Whitney has been working on the case since 1999 at no charge. "Over the years, we have interviewed a large amount of people trying to help the family get some resolution," Whitney said. "There are people in this community that know information about Shannon. They need to bring this to fruition for his daughter and his family and his deceased mother." While Andersen has faith that whoever may have harmed her brother will be punished at some point, she hopes prosecution happens soon. "If the person who did this is dealt with when they meet their maker, I'm OK with that. I'd rather see him get justice on this earth as well," she said. Help from a distant teacher About two years ago, LaBau's sisters received a letter from one of his old high-school teachers in South Dakota. Lana Dannenbring-Eichstadt, who is more technology savvy than the sisters, offered her help to develop a website. "She knew he had a tough exterior but was always a sweetheart," Weber said of the teacher. Dannenbring-Eichstadt was LaBau's English and speech teacher in the mid-1990s. "Shannon was always on my mind. Especially after his mom died," the teacher said. "He really was a fun person once we got to know each other." Dannenbring-Eichstadt said she was inspired when she searched for a website about LaBau and found one was never made. "What I tell people, is I have been a teacher over 25 years and I have lost students to disease, cancer, suicide, accidents. Never lost a student where we don't know where he is. It's just not right. The injustice there is something I like to fight for." Dannenbring-Eichstadt said the resolution of other cases that were decades older than LaBau's gives her hope. "Things can happen. So, this case isn't that old when you look at other cold cases," she said. Searching for resolution Even though LaBau has been legally declared dead, the family has yet to have a funeral. Weber said she will not have one until her brother's body is found. While clinging to that slim hope that he is still alive, family members also wonder what kind of person LaBau would have become. "He was a good guy and he would have been a great man," Andersen said. "It would be interesting to see what he would have turned out like."
