Mom used identity of Nashville daughter — who had been missing for 9 years — for food stamps

Shocking reports are speaking about how a mother from Nashville was arrested and charged with felony food stamp fraud after she chose to use the ID of her daughter, Jodie Brooke Anderson, who was said to be missing since the year 2017.

Cops stated that the mother illegally got benefits worth more than $5500 over a span of a few years. The investigation and arrest details highlight some very important points.

The missing person case: Jodie Brooke Anderson was 18 when she was last seen and then reported missing in the middle of 2017. Authorities did suspect foul play, and the case has remained an unsolved cold case for all these years.

The fraud allegations arise as investigators could show how Shannon was homeless and a registered sex offender, who applied for food stamps on behalf of her missing daughter and herself between the years 2022 and 2024.
