HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — A Cabell County grand jury has indicted a man in connection with the death of his three-month-old daughter.
Shannon Patrick Overstreet is charged with death of a child by a parent, guardian or custodian or other persons by child abuse; murder; and concealment of a deceased human body.
Three-month-old Angel Nichole Overstreet was last seen on May 2, 2021. Huntington police searched for the little girl for months.
“We are very concerned for the safety and well-being of the child,” former Huntington Police Chief Ray Cornwell said not long after the little girl’s disappearance. “We are unable to determine her location, whereabouts or well-being, and that’s what we’re focused on right now.”
Police searched the home of Shannon Overstreet’s mother early in the investigation.
In June 2021, investigators were led to a remote pond on property Shannon Overstreet owned in Carter County, Kentucky.
According to the Friday new release from Huntington Police, investigators were able to collect evidence indicating Shannon Overstreet was responsible for his daughter’s death “as well as being responsible for concealing and disposing of her remains.”
