Shantell Pollard – Thibodaux, LA

Episode 5: Shantell Pollard – Thibodaux, LA

A young life lost. A case shrouded in silence. No headlines. No suspects. No justice. But her story deserves to be told.

Episode Summary

In this episode of True Crime Unwind, we head to Louisiana to shine a long-overdue light on the tragic death of 19-year-old Shantell Pollard—a beautiful young woman and aspiring YouTuber whose life was cut short far too soon.

On Halloween in 2017, Shantell was riding in the passenger seat of a friend’s vehicle when gunshots rang out. She was fatally struck while her friends were dropping off a child, en route to New Orleans to celebrate the holiday. Since that night, the case has remained painfully unsolved, and public information about it is almost nonexistent.

With official details scarce and little media coverage to be found, this episode may be one of the first deep dives into Shantell’s case. We explore online speculation, theories, and the heartbreaking questions that remain.

Grab your wine, settle in, and prepare to unwind with a case that deserves more attention—one that highlights the devastating reality of unsolved crimes and the families left without answers.
