In the spring or summer of 2018, a 30-year-old mother of three named Shantell Marie Nick vanished from Lansing, Michigan. The last time her family had any contact with her was much earlier, in April of 2017. Known to her loved ones as "Sha" or "Shay," Shantell was a Black female with black hair that she often dyed blonde and brown eyes. She stood 5'5" tall and weighed around 130 pounds. Her family described a change in her behavior in the months before she disappeared, noting that she had become distant. They believe she may have been pulled away by people who had a negative influence on her life. The exact date and location of her last sighting remain unclear, adding to the distress of her loved ones. Shantell has several distinct physical features that her family hopes will help in locating her. She has a number of tattoos, including a depiction of Mickey Mouse on her right ankle, a cross on her chest, and flowers on the right side of her neck. She also has several large, linear burn scars on her back. After a prolonged period of silence that felt deeply wrong, her family officially reported her missing to the Lansing Police Department in the summer of 2018, desperate for answers. The investigation into Shantell Nick's disappearance remains open, handled by the Lansing Police Department. Despite the passage of time, very few details regarding the circumstances of what happened to her have been made public, leaving a painful void for her three children and the rest of her family. The case is a sorrowful mystery, marked by the sparse information available and the conflicting dates regarding when she was last in touch and when she was last seen. Her family continues to seek information from the public, holding onto hope for answers and closure in the troubling disappearance of their beloved daughter, mother, and sister.
