Missing: Dead or Alive? Season 2 began on November 24, 2025.
It brings new, heartbreaking true-crime cases. The episodes follow real investigations. They show the work of the Missing Persons Unit in Richland County, Columbia, South Carolina. The series shows how police race to find people who vanish under strange or dangerous circumstances.
One of the saddest cases is Shandon Floyd. Missing: Dead or Alive? Season 2 uses surveillance footage, interviews, phone and financial records, and a post-mortem report. It slowly explains how she disappeared and died.
Her story raises questions about vulnerability, exploitation, and justice. Let’s look at who Shandon was and what the investigation found.
Missing: Dead or Alive? Season 2: Who was Shandon Floyd?
According to Missing: Dead or Alive? Season 2, Shandon Floyd’s full name was Shandon Tymiere Floyd. She was born on December 27, 2002, in Mullins, South Carolina. She grew up in a big, noisy household. She had six siblings. Her brothers were Ahmel, Tayvion, and Y’Drequis. Her sisters were London, Mya, and Tiffany.
By November 2023, Shandon went to Columbia, South Carolina. She went there, reportedly for work. She stayed in a motel with a man named Michael Eaddy. At first, Eaddy said the trip was for business. He said Shandon went out to run errands, like grocery shopping.
The story changed when police found new evidence. Shandon was actually working as an escort under Eaddy’s control. Investigators found ads for sex workers, one listing Shandon’s name. This contradicted Eaddy’s claim that she was traveling for normal business.
Another important fact emerged. Shandon’s mother said Shandon was a trans woman. This made the case even more troubling. Trans people, especially in sex work, face higher risks of violence and discrimination. Police began to consider whether hate played a role. They wondered if Shandon’s gender identity contributed to her disappearance and death.
The disappearance: What the investigation uncovered?
On the night Shandon disappeared, she told Michael Eaddy she would take his car to go grocery shopping, according to Missing: Dead or Alive? Season 2. She never returned. She did not answer calls or messages. Eaddy reported her missing.
Police got security footage from the motel. It showed Shandon getting into Eaddy’s car. But Eaddy was not in the car. Another unknown man was with her. They stayed in the car for about 15 minutes and then drove away. This contradicted Eaddy’s story that she went alone.
Police contacted Shandon’s family. They said she had come to Columbia for hair-styling or other legitimate work. By then, police were already seeing signs she was involved in sex work. The escort ads suggested this could be important to the case.
Because Shandon was transgender, police considered that prejudice or hate might be involved. They also became suspicious of the unknown man from the CCTV. He had a criminal history involving felonies.
As per Missing: Dead or Alive? Season 2, police tracked Shandon’s last movements using her phone and bank records. One of her bank cards was used at a gas station. This led them to the car Eaddy said she took that night. At the gas station, cameras showed a white woman and the unknown man from the motel. Shandon was not seen. She may have stayed in the car, possibly in the front seat.
Later, her remains were found in that same car. It was on Two Notch Road in Columbia. The autopsy showed high levels of drugs: methamphetamine, cocaine, fentanyl, THC, and tramadol. The cause of death was a fatal overdose.
The aftermath: Why did the case raise so many questions?
The autopsy showed no signs of injury or violence, as we saw in Missing: Dead or Alive? Season 2. Authorities ruled Shandon died from an overdose. It was not murder or assault. Prosecutors did not file homicide charges against the man and woman who drove away in the car.
Those involved admitted they panicked when they realized she was dead. They left her body and ran instead of calling for help. Under South Carolina law, leaving a dead body is not a crime. So no charges could be made against them.
Shandon’s family was heartbroken and angry. Many felt her situation, a trans woman in sex work, needed more attention. They believed justice was not served. Her story highlighted failures in protecting vulnerable people.

Some viewers of Missing: Dead or Alive? Season 2 believed Shandon’s death could have been prevented. Her case highlights a bigger problem. Transgender people, especially in sex work, often face risky situations with little protection. For many, Shandon’s story is more than a “missing person case.” It is a life lost because the system failed her.
Missing: Dead or Alive? Season 2 features investigators like Vicki Rains from the Missing Persons Unit. They stress how critical the first 24–48 hours are in missing-person cases. Delays, lies, and vulnerability can lower the chances of survival. In Shandon’s case, delays and deception likely led to her death.
