Parents


They just didn't care, they used the missing daughter as an excuse to go drinking.

It was more than that as you will find out next week.

It's that man again!!

This was all over the news when it happened in real life not really a revelation by any means.

What was the deal with the step dad? He seemed to only care about his computer and was playing video games nearly all the way through the episode.

You would think with his step child missing he would be out in the area looking for her or at least more concerned about the situation.

Maybe the real life guy was not too concerned!

I thought the step-Dad looked more like Karen's son that her partner. They also made him look like someone with special needs in the drama.

He was 22 and looked simple in real IMO.

I thought that the actor who played Craig Meehan (the step-dad) looked uncannily like the real-life Craig who was seen on crime documentaries about the real Shannon case at the time and since.
Regarding his computer it was revealed that it contained indecent images of children following the police search on the Matthews/Meehan household.

reply

The computer had child porn on it so he was afraid the police would find it

reply

it was for money. She'd have gone drinking regardless of a child.
