Shannon has made multiple appearances on Dateline for her extensive reporting on the murder and disappearance of New Canaan mother of five Jennifer Dulos. In 2024, she anchored and produced 30 episodes of a first-of-its-kind live, daily, half-hour streaming special, ‘Inside the Trial of Michelle Troconis,’ in connection with the case.
In 2023, Shannon appeared on Dateline to detail her reporting on the murder case of Connecticut mom Connie Dabate, known as the Fitbit Murder. She spoke in an exclusive interview with the jury foreperson in the trial of Connie’s husband, Richard Dabate, on how jury members reached a guilty verdict after learning about the intricate and technological evidence involved in the case.
Shannon was the first to interview Sandy Hook mom Scarlett Lewis in a one-on-one interview after the verdict in the defamation case against Alex Jones in Texas in 2022. She also anchored live coverage of the historic $1.1 billion verdict in a similar case brought against Jones by Sandy Hook families in Connecticut.
Before her time in Connecticut, Shannon was an anchor and reporter at KARK/FOX61 in Little Rock, Arkansas. She was the only reporter to speak in a jailhouse interview with the suspect in the murder and kidnapping of realtor Beverly Carter. Shannon appeared on Dateline to detail her exclusive one-on-one interview. The statements the suspect made on camera to her were later used by the prosecution as a key piece of evidence in the trial, where Shannon took the stand and testified as a witness. The capital murder case ultimately resulted in a life sentence.
Shannon also spent time as a morning anchor in Springfield, Missouri, and got her start in TV news as a reporter and anchor in Fayetteville, Arkansas, where in 2011, she covered the aftermath of the deadliest tornado in recent history in Joplin, Missouri.
She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism.
Shannon was born in Fort Worth and attended Grapevine High School. She is excited to be home with her family and friends and to enjoy Tex-Mex, barbeque, as well as college and pro sports.
