I am basically the same age as Shirley. I didn’t know her, but knew of the abduction and the finding of her body. It had an effect on me because not a year has gone by that I have not thought about her and what happened to her. We used to drive by the house on Scenic and I would be sad wondering about her.
I hope your family can get closure one day for her.
It is nice to know Shirley has not been forgotten!
A Rose
In heaven’s flower garden grows
A single little pure white rose
Plucked from earth and taken there
To blossom in God’s loving care.

I cried and prayed so hard for your safety. I’m so sorry that evil found you, and took you away. A piece of my heart went with you sweet girl. I’ve never forgotten you, and pray that they will be punished.
I only find peace knowing you are with Jesus
I Pray for Justice for Shirley. Like the Monsters who murdered my Son Carlos Jimenez Jr. Will have to answer to the Lord some day. Rest In Paradise Sweet little Girl.
Why is Shirley’s middle name changed from Shirley Jean Rose to Shirley Jane? Shirley’s grandfather worked with my father at the Campbell 66 truck line. The police know who abducted Shirley and why but the evidence was never strong enough for a conviction. I understand a county Judge knows more but can’t supply the info because of lawyer-client restrictions. I’m familiar with the family business, people reported seeing the car of a son of the owner and the driver stopped and talking to Shirley just before she disappeared. Shirley’s mother told me they knew who was involved, having to do with a drug deal that went sour, they took Shirley to put pressure on the family but the police closed in so quickly they had to kill Shirley, All of them should pay, Think of all the years Shirley has missed…she was only 9
I am so sorry for your family’s loss. 43 years seems like an eternity, but we will have eternity one day with our loved ones and justice for them.
I am the sister of Tina Sue Spencer, found November 1976 at McDaniel Lake. The pain lasts a lifetime.
We have not forgotten and we will not forget.

I lived on scenic at the time she was taken. There was a strange man roaming around trying to get us girls to go with him not to far from sherwood. White 63 or 64 chevy impala. Red interior . Tall heavy-set man dark curly hair with a gun but he was naked so we didn’t get out of the car if it’s tried to get us girls inside . I was smart enough to run and tell my friends to run . My parents were drug addicted alcoholics at the time and didn’t believe me or the neighbor Girls we told them what happened but I wasn’t allowed to play outside much after that. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of her. In wonder if he was the one that took her.
This a correction from his last post,
I was street smart, because of my upbringing. Not smarter than any other girls.
The guy didn’t get out of the car because he was naked ! we/ us girls were on foot. Her life was stolen, and I wish someone would have listened, for you Shirley!!
Just read this story and it is so heartbreaking. I pray that the family gets some sort of closure on what happened to this beautiful little girl. I can’t even begin to imagine how much pain and suffering the family has faced for so long! I pray for justice for Shirley and for closure for this family. Xoxoxo
A smile that has become a memory of a young girl named Shirley Jane Rose. The justice needs to be found and justice for Shirley Jane Rose. Find it in the hearts of the family to give the help to get the information the family needs. Please help

I was 12 at the time and lived nearby. What happened to Shirley has always haunted me. I am glad that justice is still being sought for her.
