There have been questions asked about Shon Pernice in connection with another missing woman, Star Boomer. It seems Shon was present at the same bar, the same night Star Boomer went missing. Coincidence?
For the family of Star Boomer who have been searching for her all these years, I pray that there are answers. I hope that this is a very active investigation into the whereabouts of Renee Pernice and Star Boomer!

Renee Pernice
Renee Pernice vanished from her Northland home last month. Shon Pernice, her husband, whom she was in the process of divorcing, was the last person to see her alive.
Ten years ago, another woman, Star Boomer, disappeared from a bar in Kansas City and hasn't been seen since. On that night in February of 1999, Shon Pernice was at the same bar, sources told FOX4KC.com.
Witnesses said Boomer got into a fight with a man at the bar. Two men were originally charged with second-degree murder, but the case was eventually dropped to avoid "double jeopardy."
Boomer’s family believes it was because none of the witnesses at the bar that night would testify.
"There were 13 witnesses in the bar and no one wants to come forward or say anything," Cynthia Hurtie, Star’s sister, told FOX4KC.com.
Hurtie, now a private investigator, has never stopped trying to solve her sister’s case. When she heard about the specifics of Renee’s case she said, “My heart just fell to my stomach. I just put two and two together, there were two witnesses and Shon was one of them.”
Although Shon Pernice was never on the list of official court witnesses, he has been linked to the Boomer investigation, according to FOX4KC.com sources.
“Until the day we find closure and justice for her, I can’t give up. I have to be a voice for Star,” said Hurtie.
Boomer’s mother, Hazel Hurtie, holds out hope that her daughter will be found.
"I believe that we will find her," she told FOX4KC.com. "I really believe that. I have never given up hope."
Shon Pernice and his attorney could not be reached for comment about the story.
There is a $5,000 reward for information in the Star Boomer case.
I just wanted to say I think it's a wonderful thing you are doing by having a blog like this. These are very sad stories and ones that I just hate to hear about. I am a Mother of 5 children and I know I would not be able to bare it if something were to happen to one of mine, and I know they would be devastated as well if something were to happen to me. I brought my Daughters and moved here to Missouri from Indiana almost two years ago due to my Fiancee being here. I have been trying so hard to adjust to the big city life it is so different than where we come from. After reading stories like this it really scares me. I will be praying for these missing people as well as praying that justice is served for those responsible for their disappearance.
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best in this cause.
God Bless You~
Thank you so much for appreciating what we do.
ReplyDeletePlease don't live in fear, but rather in awareness. So many people don't realize the scope of missing persons until it happens in their own family.
Become aware for yourself and for your children. There are so many resources available at http://peace4missing.ning.com (I am Co-Founder)and so many small things that everyone can do to make necessary changes.
One profound fact....almost one MILLION people are reported missing EVERY year according to FBI statistics. That fact alone blew me away. That is the total population of a large city and hard to fathom!
Thank you for leaving a comment and following my blog!
