Highway 82: The Vanishings of Teresa Dean & Shannon Paulk (Part 1)

In the debut episode of Deep Dark South, hosts Raven and Lanie investigate a chilling trio of missing-person cases across Georgia and Alabama—cases that may share more than coincidence.This first installment focuses on the disappearances of Teresa Dean (1999) and Shannon Paulk (2001)—two vibrant 11-year-old girls who vanished under eerily similar circumstances. Raven lays out the key details and troubling patterns while Lanie reacts in real time, raising questions about community biases, overlooked leads, and the predators who exploit small-town trust.Listen as the hosts uncover unsettling family connections, suspicious behavior, and the haunting lack of answers that continue to plague both families. With heartbreaking witness accounts, law-enforcement insights, and whispers of scandal, this episode sets the stage for Part 2, where a third linked case and a possible suspect come to light.If you can’t wait for next week’s conclusion, supporters at Tier 2 and above on Patreon can hear Part 2 right now.Support the show & unlock early access!Love a good true-crime deep dive?
