This website has been created to give news updates on the ongoing search and to accept any donations to help aid in the search and return of Shelley to her daughter, family, and friends.

Shelley Lynn Jones Mook is a beloved daughter, mother, sister, family member, and friend of many many people. She is a native of Erie, PA and moved to Tennessee with her now ex-husband Tyler Mook. The two have a daughter, Lilliana Irene Mook. Shelley was last seen by her ex-husband on Monday, February 28, 2011 between 3:00pm and 4:00pm in Shelbyville, TN. Her car was found engulfed in flames 20 feet from a route just outside of Murfreesboro, TN later that evening. There has been no sign of her since.

TBI's Kristin Helm has consistently stated that Tyler Mook "is still very much a person of interest. He has never really cooperated with our agents as far as sitting down and giving them an interview about the last time he saw her". Helm has also previously stated in June 2011 that Mook has not been cooperative: "Anytime you have someone who is not really helping you who may have been the last person to see someone. That makes it difficult as well". Helm also previously stated in 2011 that Mook "is the primary person of interest in this case".

According to public court documentation Tyler Mook's prior criminal convictions include (but are not limited to) reckless endangerment, theft of property, and alteration of serial numbers. Mook's also has numerous other unconvinced criminal activities as documented and testified in other civil court proceedings.

Tyler Mook, his lawyers, and his entire family have refused to comment or assist in the search for Shelley Jones Mook.

Renewed search for missing Shelbyville woman


COWAN, TN (WSMV) -
It's been 18 months since Shelley Mook was last seen, but new developments in the case had search crews back out in Franklin County on Thursday looking for the missing mother and teacher.
Mook, a Shelbyville English teacher, has been missing for about a year and a half, and in that time the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has named her ex-husband as their prime suspect in her disappearance.
Shortly after her disappearance, Mook's car was found burning in a field in Murfreesboro.
The TBI wouldn't disclose what prompted the new search, but about 10 other law enforcement agencies joined the TBI in searching a CSX rail yard in Cowan, TN.
Family and friends said the fact search crews were out again was a hopeful sign.
"I just hope it opens people's eyes to know this is not ended. It is not going to stop until we find what happened," said friend Brittany Brooks.
At this point, investigators are looking for a body, and family and friends said they are looking for closure and justice.
"I hope that nobody ever thinks that after two years or three years if we don't find anything that it will be over, because it won't until something is found and until somebody is found responsible," Brooks said.
Channel 4 News has confirmed Mook's ex-husband's brother worked for CSX, the company that owns the tracks and area where workers searched, but the TBI isn't elaborating on any possible connection.
A former coworker said Tyler Mook was fired from his job back in December. That coworker said no one she knows has seen or heard from him since then.
Channel 4 contacted Tyler Mook's attorney Thursday to see if they had anything to say about the newest search, but the only comment was "no comment."
