It has been over a year since the premiere of the Cold Justice episode featuring the unsolved murder of Shannon Poteet. The episode aired in June 2019 and focused on the investigation of the 1992 murder of the 19-year-old college student.
Shannon Poteet was last seen on November 28, 1992, leaving a nightclub in Fort Worth, Texas. Her body was found the next day in a remote area of Parker County, Texas. She had been shot four times in the head and was found partially clothed.
The Cold Justice team, led by former prosecutor Kelly Siegler and retired homicide investigator Steve Spingola, worked with local law enforcement to review the case and gather new evidence. They conducted interviews with witnesses and re-examined physical evidence using modern forensic techniques.
In the end, the team identified two suspects in the case: James Scott Connolly and Robert Lee Young. Connolly was a former boyfriend of Poteet's and had a history of domestic violence. Young was a friend of Connolly's and was with him on the night of Poteet's murder.
Both Connolly and Young were arrested and charged with the murder of Shannon Poteet in August 2019. They have since been indicted by a grand jury and are awaiting trial. If convicted, they could face life in prison.
The Cold Justice episode featuring Shannon Poteet's case was emotional and difficult to watch, but it also provided hope for her family and friends that justice may finally be served. The episode has also sparked discussions about the importance of using modern investigative techniques to solve cold cases and bring closure to families.
As of now, there have been no further updates on the case, but the arrest and indictment of two suspects is a significant step forward in the pursuit of justice for Shannon Poteet.
