At 14-years-old, Shonna Wesley became a mother. The details involving her home life or the father of her child remain secrets only privy to those involved, loved ones, and the authorities. It has been over 40 years since anyone has seen or heard from the young teen—who, in 1981, was a 16-year-old mother to a two-year-old daughter, Shandonder.

Although, it may not be impossible or even incredibly difficult, it doesn’t take away from the excitement of pulling out that sought-after shark tooth from the water.
