Snow Hill, MD– As we await confirmation from the Baltimore Medical Examiners Office regarding the remains recovered from the rear property of the Riverside Inn on February 19th:
Lynn Doddenhoff, Christine’s Mom, wishes to make the following statement.
We DO NOT have confirmation that the remains found in Snow Hill are Christine, but we remain hopeful that they will be identified as such.
When Blink and her team became involved in Christine’s case we were at a dead end.
Thanks to Blink’s efforts, public awareness was raised to a level that forced law enforcement to take a second look at her
disappearance.
Christine, my family and Blink have endured many personal attacks we never deserved.
As we await word from the medical examiners office, we ask that you please pray for our family and the entire Blink team.
Without the tenacity of their work Christine’s case would never have received the attention she deserves.
This will be the only statement I will make until official confirmation is made.
Snow Hill, MD– Although officially unconfirmed, sources inside the investigation tell blinkoncrime.com that the female remains located on the rear property of the Riverside Inn Bed and Breakfast, are that of 26 year old missing Delaware woman Christine Sheddy.
Christine, Mother of 3, was last seen alive the evening of November 12, 2007 on the Byrd Rd farm property in Pocomoke City, MD.
Justice, Interrupted : A Mother’s Fight
Blinkoncrime.com was asked to investigate the disappearance of Christine Sheddy by Christine’s Mother, Lynn Dodenhoff, and members of her family and friends last Summer.
With the exception of a few outdated news articles and some good work by the folks at the Pocomoke Tattler, we had to start from scratch. Yes, it is as hard as it sounds save for the fact that our initial primary source of information came from the one woman that vowed to bring her daughter home: her Mom.
This most tenacious woman did more investigative work on her daughter’s disappearance than the detectives tasked with finding her. In fact, one of the primary witnesses in this case was not interviewed until Fall of last year after I interviewed him twice and our series on Christine was on it’s fifth chapter.
At the request of the Maryland State Police and the Doddenhoff and Sheddy families, the blinkoncrime team will be limiting coverage regarding the actual facts of the internal investigation of Christine’s case as it is continuing.
Joel Todd, Worcester State Attorney, disclosed that a tip led investigators to the scene as part of a “larger investigation.” Through the good work of a special investigator from Todds’ office and that of the Maryland State Police, who received Christine’s case less than a week ago, it seems that Christine and her family’s quest for answers surrounding her disappearance and murder will be forthcoming.

Snow Hill, MD– Late this evening, Human remains have been recovered behind the Post Office on North Washington Street in Snow Hill, MD.
The source of the tip is not known at this time, and no other information has been provided. It is not known if the remains are that of missing Delware Mother of 3, Christine Sheddy.
The disappearance and presumed homicide of Christine Sheddy was investigated by the Worcester Co. Investigative office until recently.
The Maryland State Police maintain jurisdiction on this case currently.

Rogersville, TN– Clarence Butch “Jr” Jackson, believed to be a person of interest in the disappearance and murder of Christine Marie Sheddy has been arrested for aggravated burglary and arson in Hawkins County, TN.
At the former residence of a girlfriend of Jackson, 166 E. Madeline Lane, a witness identified Jackson as the man who broke into the home using a rock to break the glass of the door, and proceeded to light the shower curtain on fire.
While there was no one inside the home during the burglary, the tenant was in the process of removing her things due to an eviction.
Jr. Jackson and his girlfriend Tia Johnson were tenants in a farmhouse at 2911 Byrd Rd, Pocomoke City from September through November 2007 where multiple unexplained fires occurred, with no arrests to date.
As previously chronicled exclusievely at blinkoncrime.com, it is believed 26 year old Christine Sheddy, mother of three from Delaware, was murdered on that farm the evening of November 12, 2007.
The investigation into her disappearance is ongoing.
Please call Worcester County Bureau of Investigation if you have any information regarding the disappearance of Christine Sheddy (410) 352–3476.
Scared Monkey Forum, Exclusive Special Guest, Lynn Dodenhoff:
Pocomoke City, MD– Christine Sheddy was murdered on the Byrd Rd Farm in Pocomoke City on the evening of November 12, 2007.
The series of events that led up to her murder are stupifying.
Of Particular concern is the rash of fires occuring on the farm and within surrounding areas in the time frame of both of Christine’s visits there.
As the September alarms are no longer accessible on the Pocomoke Volunteer Fire Department Site, you are looking at a cached version confirming the call to the farm and the fact that photos DID exist of what was assuredly a major fire. Three different stations responded at a minimum. The Images have been deleted.
The day before the Byrd road chicken house fire on September 20th, the Showell Fire Department extinguished this chicken house fire:
Also a cached version of deleted information from the PVFD site, is this October Alarm Source, through October 23rd, 2007:
“..The Worcester County Fire Marshal’s Office is responsible for conducting fire investigations of all fires in the County where arson is suspected, the fire is undetermined by the fire department, and/or an injury or death has occurred. The Worcester County Fire Marshal’s Office is the local enforcing agency for 3 municipalities and the County…”
Note the October 10th alarm for yet again, a subsequent fire in the chickenhouse on Byrd Road.
On October 11, the neighbors who have already been vicitmized by the Clarence Butch “ Jr” Jackson crew, are victimized again. As you can see the Fire Marshall visits Byrd Road.
What the record does not say, is that the neighbors are awakened at 3 am by the Fire Marshall and Deputy Parnell from the PCPD. They were told if they called the Fire Department one more time for fires on the neighboring property, they would be arrested.
On the exact same day that JR Jackson unsuccessfully seeks peace orders against the neighbors that are simply trying to avoid the menace of his existance at this point are denied on October 13th; there is another chicken house fire. Fire Police and Pocomoke PD are in attendance.
Another outside fire call on October 17th. There is no data past October 23rd on fire activity available for this time frame.
The November calls have been deleted entirely by the Pocomake VFD. The site is managed and maintained by “Choppy Layton” a long time Vounteer Fire Fighter and by all accounts, a solid guy.
What is astounding, is that I am in receipt of an email that confirms a witness gave a statement to Detective Trautman, the original detective in this case, on February 12, 2008.
Should we consider it a coincidence then, that the last time the PVFD site is updated, and apparently when the November alarms were deleted is February 12, 2008?
We have eyewitness accounts of fires on the Byrd Road farmhouse from November 9th through the 13th at a minimum. Fire Police and Marshalls have been to the property. By my accounting, we are talking in the neighborhood of 12 fire alarms to this property alone, starting one month after an emergency outdoor burn ban.
Why hasn’t Clarence Jackson been charged with arson?
Any other suspects? Dead Issue? We know there are surveillance still pictures and security guard witnesses, what did they see?
What is the ratio of alarm calls versus arson arrests?
I digress.
Who was copied on the confirmation email containing a witness statement on February 12, 2008?
