Two Confirmed Murders in Pocomoke, Is Christine the 3rd?

This morning a Pittsville man, Charles Robert Phillips was arrested for the murder of much loved, Pocomoke local, William “Nib” Niblet.

Last month three local, very young men were arrested for the murder of Judy Woljik, and since November 13, 2007, Delaware visitor to a farm on Byrd Road in Pocomoke; Christine Sheddy has been missing. Christine

The Pocomoke Tattler has reported several times on the case of Christine Sheddy. The Tattler has submitted all information it has on the case to America’s Most Wanted, Fox News, CNN and other national media outlets.

Much speculation about the handling of the case has surrounded the case from the very beginning. This is the story as we have been told …

Christine came to Pocomoke to with her two little boys to get away from home to start a new life. She had a tumultuous relationship with her boyfriend (Levi Hall) the father of her two boys, and wanted to get away from everything.

A short time before coming to Pocomoke Levi had met a couple Tia Johnson and Clarence B. Jackson  ( Tia and Jr.) through his cousin Steve.  They all had myspace pages and spoke on the internet and apparently became further acquainted with them.  They became friends and at some point shortly after meeting, Christine decided that she wanted to start over and she came to Tia and Jr.s’ to do so.

From what we have been told she was in contact with her friends in Delaware during this time and expressed that life in Pocomoke wasn’t what she had thought it would be and she wanted to leave.

On November 13, Tia and Jr. left the farmhouse to go pick up their children from school in Pocomoke. When they got back a few hours later, they found that Christine was gone leaving her two sons ages 3 &4 and her purse.

The time that she was reported missing is unknown and who reported her missing is unknown to the Tattler. What we do know is that Levi’s mother (Joyce) picked up the children from the farmhouse in Pocomoke, and much contention between the two families has insued.

Very shortly after Christine’s dissapearance Tia and Jr. moved from the Byrd Road home.

From the reports that we have received no one has yet to take a polygraph test to prove that they were not involved in the disappearance. Not Tia, not Jr., and not Levi. Reports from family members also indicate that it was 4 weeks before the house and property were searched for clues or a body. Additionally, the bickering between the family of Levi, and Christine is felt by both sides as insults and allegations meant to discredit each other in the eyes of the investigators. Christine’s lifestyle portrayed on her MySpace page has been the source of much discredit, as has Levi’s and Tia’s and Jr’s.

While Levi’s mother has reported ‘Christine sightings’ to the Worcester County Bureau of Investigations the sitings are felt by Christine’s family to be a ploy to manipulate the investigation, so that investigators will think that Christine just abandoned her children. Abondonment, is vehmently denied by Christine’s mother.

So in the end, will a healthy, just couldn’t take it anymore, single mother be found, or the body of a murdered woman be found? For the children’s and families sake I hope and pray she was emotionally unable to deal with life as it was at the time and that she ran to find a better one. Yet, with the passing of Thanksgiving, Christmas, children’s and parents birthday’s all having past and the upcoming wedding of her sister, it is simply very hard to imagine.

If anyone knows anything about this case. If you knew these people and overheard anything. If drove by the house on Byrd Road and saw a car in the driveway, anything at all. Please call the Worcester County Sheriffs Office and tell them. You never know; something that you think is insignificant could be the piece in the puzzle that breaks this case.
