The child's father, Andrew Schneider told ExploreClarion.com that he believed his daughter was abducted.

'She's a very lovable girl. She would never run away,' Schneider said as he broke down in tears. 

'My feelings are, I don't want to say this, but my feelings are she was taken.' 

Shevy had walked a few minutes from her home to the Comet Food Warehouse on South Fifth Avenue near a Dollar General to buy a coloring book.

It was around 7pm and it was raining as well as getting dark.  

Her father told local media that a cashier said Shevy bought the book and left the store.

Her mother, Tina Schneider (pictured), told local media that her husband had 'seen her talking to an older gentleman in a gray or brown Buick'

Yes, that is truly horrible. I feel for her parents, they must be devastated. I hope she didn't suffer too much.

How horrible. But I am curious...if the father saw her talking to some man in a Buick, did he do anything about it? Personally, if I saw my kids talking to some stranger in a car, I would have taken down the make/model/license # and reported it, and had a long talk with the boys about stranger danger, and then notify the entire neighborhood to be on the watch. Maybe he did that, and it still happened, but I wonder...

That was my thought too.  As well as why did they let her walk to the store when it was raining & getting dark?

13 is not 3.

How many times had she walked to that same store?

And if dad did ask who she was talking to, what did she say?

"I don't know, he wanted to know how to get to....."

This was an act of evil.

No one will ever know the touture of the "what ifs" those parents will have to live with.

This is rural America. Kids walk places. Kids walk to and from school. They walk to stores. It's a normal thing. I mean, if you weren't raised around here, then maybe it isn't to you. But, a 13 walking to a store isn't a big deal. And, she went out at 7 pm. That isn't late. That's not midnight. It is not even dark at 7pm. And, the rain was not really forecasted.

Kids walk around here too.  I wasn't saying it was wrong of her parents to let her walk to the store.  It's just that her dad said it was getting dark out & was raining.  It just seemed odd to me that they let her walk with those conditions.  But 7pm isn't too late to be out.  Maybe I'm just projecting my own preference for not going to the store in the rain.

She had drowned. She had mental health issues and other issues. Sad for sure. But at least it is resolved.
