Episode 15 - The Crime That Made an American City Ban Halloween for 16 Years

Published: March 22, 2021, midnight

In October 1992, 11 year old Shauna Howe went to school like any normal day but as it was nearly Halloween, she was also looking forward to her Girl Scout Halloween party later that night. 


The party finished around 8pm and when Shauna didn't come home that night her family reported her missing. Meanwhile, a member of the public had already phoned the police saying he had witnessed a man pick up a little girl on the street and run off with her. The only other thing he saw was a car speeding away.


A search for Shauna was launched and what they found would lead the Oil City council to impose a ban on Halloween that would remain in place for 16 years.
