A mother walked out of jail on a Monday and into thin air, leaving behind three children and a family that's been searching nonstop ever since with no clue where she went or why Shelby Fednander, 34, was released from Bartow County custody at 2:57 p.m. on October 27, and her family says she was last seen on foot near Zena Drive in Cartersville, but after that the trail goes cold in a way that doesn't make sense to anyone who knows her. Her phone is cracked and possibly dead, which means the one lifeline that might tell them where she is or what happened is out of reach, leaving her loved ones to search the old-fashioned way: knocking on doors, making calls, driving around town looking for any sign of her.

We know something isn’t right.” The **Bartow County Sheriff’s Office** has opened a missing person investigation, reviewing surveillance footage and interviewing anyone who may have encountered Shelby after she left custody.Described as caring, funny, and resilient, Shelby is remembered by her loved ones as a mother determined to turn her life around. 

Her sudden disappearance has left her family heartbroken and fearful.

As one relative put it, “We just want Shelby home — safe, alive, and back with her kids where she belongs.”
