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. On the day Shonna went missing, she and Shandonder reportedly went to the store to meet up with Shonna's boyfriend in Dallas, Texas.
