No charges to be filed in Columbus woman’s death “The people who did this, I would rather think this was an accident and (they) didn’t mean to hurt her. I’m sure somebody just got scared, but they could have called somebody.”
Steve Shockley, of Joplin, said his sister had severe back pain, for which she took medication, but he was unaware of what she was taking. Bullard said by phone that all evidence in the case was examined, and that there was no direct evidence that anyone abandoned Hazel Shockley after she had died. “It would only be speculation,” Bullard said of the scenario. Steve Shockley said a raft of rumors in Columbus and Cherokee County followed his sister’s disappearance. The news release tried to dispel one of them. “There have been several rumors circulating regarding the potential for foul play and the condition of Ms. Shockley when she was located,” the news release read. “We will not offer details, but will unequivocally state that the rumors regarding Ms. Shockley being kept somewhere and then placed in the location where she was found at a later date have no basis in fact.” Steve Shockley said that aspect remains troubling. “That seems awful strange that they couldn’t find that body in three months, and it don’t take a detective to know that,” he said. Missing car Hazel Shockley’s car was found near Oswego, Kan., a few weeks after her disappearance. Investigators previously had not said where the car was found, but Cherokee County Attorney John Bullard confirmed the information Wednesday.
