In Bethel, New York, from August 15th through the 18th, 1969, roughly half a million people had gathered to celebrate what was touted as “3 Days of Peace and Music” that we now refer to with a single word: Woodstock. But around a thousand mile away, in the staid community of Burlington, Iowa, life kept its slower pace, children played across the city’s 200 acres of manicured parks and residents sat on their front porches (just as I used to do with my grandma) and chatted with neighbors, talked about the weather, or just watched the sky fade to beautiful sunset hues. It was a town where the now seemingly lost art of leisure was still thriving.

Sadly, that peace would be short-lived, as the town was about to be rocked by a crime that would shake the community to its core and leave its residents (as well as law enforcement) in disbelief. This is the case of Dorothy Miller.

This case was a collaboration between Allison and Charlie from Crimelines. Be sure to check out the Crimelines podcast if you value both extensive, ethical, and empathetic coverage.

Eleven-year-old Shannon Paulk was excited to visit with her friends and neighbors in the Candlestick Mobile Home Park in Prattville, Alabama on August 16th, 2001 after spending much of the summer away with family. She wanted to see friends and visit neighbors’ animals. Many neighbors recall seeing or speaking with the friendly Shannon that morning.
