A vanished woman, a crash, and one unanswered night
This preview is based only on the episode’s published notes. Crime Junkie spotlights the 2018 disappearance of 23-year-old Brittany Wallace Shank after she appeared injured at a stranger’s door, said help was coming, and then disappeared before deputies arrived.
**Preview based on the published show notes, not a recap of the audio.** This episode centers on the disappearance of **Brittany Wallace Shank**, who was **23 years old** when she vanished on **November 30, 2018**. According to the notes, Brittany arrived **barefoot and bleeding** at a stranger’s home and asked for help. She reportedly said that the man she had been with had **crashed their car and run away**. The most striking detail in the description is what happened next: **deputies were on the way**, but before they got there, Brittany **disappeared into the darkness**. The notes say she has **never been seen again**. If you’re deciding whether to listen, this sounds like an episode focused on a **missing persons case** with a narrow, urgent timeline and a key unanswered question about the man Brittany mentioned. The show notes also include a public tip request: anyone with information about Brittany’s disappearance, **especially if they recognize the man in the sketches**, is asked to contact the **St. Joseph County Sheriff’s Office at 269-467-9045**. The notes also mention that the episode is available to **watch on the Crime Junkie YouTube channel**, and that a fuller list of source materials is available on the show’s website. If you follow true crime cases that remain active and unresolved, this episode appears to be aimed at both informing listeners and encouraging tips.
