Satanic Panic and the Murders of Sally McNelly & Shane Stewart

Published: Nov. 18, 2019, 3 a.m.

On July 4th, 1988, Sally McNelly and Shane Stewart disappeared sometime around midnight. Their bodies were found miles away from where they were last seen months later. Investigators had little to go on and, as was common at the time when no answers could be found, Satanism found its way into law enforcement\u2019s theory. There was no evidence of devil worship or occult activities but the media, including the television show Unsolved Mysteries, jumped all over the chance at helping insert the societal phenomenon of Satanic Panic into Shane and Sally\u2019s narrative. It\u2019s likely part of the reason their case remains unsolved today.
