Circumstance: Shalunda Matthews lived with a boyfriend and went to meet him at a club. From the club they went to a home that they stayed at and according to the boyfriend he gave her money in the morning to pick up needed items. She has never been seen since. The boyfriend was interviewed by police and is not considered a suspect. Shalunda has a son who is developmentally delayed and her mom has been raising him. All of her siblings and friends say she would never go without making contact. Each month she would receive some money from her mom to help with her expenses and the family knew that was the deciding point that something must have happened for her to not come, or to not call and check on her teenage special needs son. They ask if you have any information to please contact authorities. Shalunda was also on probation and would always check in faithfully with her probation officer. Because of her missing status, and non-reporting, a warrant was issued for her arrest.
