The Pottawatomie County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help as it continues to investigate the 2015 death of a woman whose case remains unsolved nearly 11 years later.
According to investigators, deputies and emergency responders were dispatched at approximately 4 p.m. on Sept. 6, 2015, after receiving a report that a woman had fallen from a moving pickup truck.
Responding personnel found 45-year-old Shannon Chebultz with serious injuries in the roadway near Macy Place Drive and Elm Slough Road. Investigators determined Chebultz had been riding in a truck driven by her boyfriend, Travis Quigley, when, for reasons that remain unknown, she either fell or was ejected from the moving vehicle.
Chebultz later died from her injuries.
The sheriff’s office said Quigley was interviewed by investigators and the scene was thoroughly processed. Despite years of investigative work and numerous leads, the circumstances surrounding Chebultz’s death remain undetermined, and the case remains open.
Investigators are now renewing their appeal for information, saying someone may have details that could help provide answers for Chebultz’s family.
