From what I have read, that is probably the case. If you have a son, just ask yourself that question and think of your answer. As one friend said, that's why God does it that way, if they didn't get ugly, you could never let them go.
The first thought I had is how close Shawn may have come to not being found, since his replacement had already been found. I think the unsung hero in this whole thing is the guy who was over at his girlfriend's for the night and called the police about the scream, then asked the police officers the next morning to take a look at the truck. It was all over NBC's local station here. He's the guy who may have saved the day completely and he looked like a typical 20-something knothead with the chin-strap beard, etc., but he knew what he heard and what he wanted the police to look at.

That guy along with the young man who noticed the white truck and made the local LEOs aware of it, and so when they saw it at the apartment complex, knew something was likely up.
God Bless them both!

I think society doesn't give our youth enough credit. I was watching a show that had a hidden camera thing going. There was a girl who was standing in a square in front of some buildings in NY. A man approached her, grabbed her, she resisted and screamed for help like crazy. All the middle aged and older white people just looked and kept walking. Guess what, 3 black kids ages 18-22, acted. They separated and flanked the guy while one was on his phone calling police and probably taking a picture. As a generation X'er, I was never so proud of the next one!!

Has anybody questioned this article/story that is published in a British entertainment newspaper? Is there any confirmation on US news sites? I looked at a couple sites and don't see them
