Tide, Fog, and a Sealed Camera Bag: How Shannon Vanished
-
Narrated by:
-
By:
A dry camera bag stood upright in four inches of cold water on a tidal plain, perfectly sealed, with no footprints and no sign of the woman whose license was inside-so how did Shannon simply disappear into the marsh? Photographers fear fog and tides; here a seventeen-minute chart discrepancy, collapsing visibility, and incoming water combined into a living trap-what exactly happened on that flat in those minutes before dawn?
In this episode, we trace the timeline of Shannon Evans’s last known morning on Harrow Flats, the items found in the bag, and the environmental and navigational facts that made a familiar route deadly. What did the laminated tide chart, the fog, and the geography of Pelican Sound do to a careful, experienced photographer?
Person: Shannon Evans
Location: Harrow Flats, near Fenwick Road, Merritt Landing
Date: Tuesday morning (before dawn), June (year not specified in transcript)
Item found: Dry camera bag containing three Nikon bodies, eleven lenses, laminated tide chart, and Washington State driver's license
