Highway 82: The Vanishings of Shannon Paulk & Heaven LaShae Ross (Part 2)

In the second half of Deep Dark South’s chilling debut, Raven and Lanie return to the Highway 82 corridor to follow the haunting trail of three 11-year-old girls whose disappearances rocked their small Southern communities.Picking up with the unsolved murder of Shannon Paulk (2001), the hosts reveal new details of the investigation, a mysterious suspect sketch, a secretive grand jury, and the lingering frustration of a mother who still doesn’t know how her daughter died. From there, they examine the heartbreaking case of Heaven “Shae” LaShae Ross (2003)—a vibrant sixth-grader whose morning walk to the school bus ended in tragedy, sparking nationwide attention, suspicious family turmoil, and a devastating discovery three years later.Are these cases mere coincidence, or the work of a predator stalking young girls along Highway 82? Raven and Lanie weigh the evidence, sift through rumors, and invite listeners to form their own conclusions.Get early access and bonus content!Support the show on Patreon to unlock upcoming episodes, exclusive case updates, and behind-the-scenes commentary.Prefer a one-time gesture?
