In August 2019, The Fall Line released four episodes devoted to the disappearance of Shy’Kemmia Pate.
Shy’Kemmia was excited to spend Labor Day Weekend of 1998 with her family — starting with attendance at the first high-school football game of the season. In their tiny town of Unadilla, Georgia, that was a big event. But she never made it there.
That Friday afternoon, Shy’Kemmia stepped off her front porch and onto the sidewalks of the street she’d lived on all her life. And that’s the last time anyone saw her: vanished right off her own street.
With extensive interviews from Shy’Kemmia’s family, friends, the local sheriff’s department, and the Georgia Department of Investigations, season 5 of The Fall Line aims to put Shy’Kemmia’s case where it always should have been: in the public consciousness.
In episode two of this four-part series, the investigation and the immediate aftermath of Shy'Kemmia Pate's disappearance are examined.
In episode three of this four-part series, suspects and other area predators--and victims--are examined.
The final episode of this four-part series, we discuss where the case stands now and how social media might help Shy'Kemmia's case.
