Shely Lowe, Woman Facing Probe Over Missing Girl (Aarone Thompson) Dies
A bizarre turn in the missing persons case of 6-year-old girl missing Aarone Thompson. Shely Lowe, 32, who lived with the 6-year-old girl missing since November died of an apparent heart attack.
Shely Lowe, 32, had a history of heart trouble and was on several medications, police chief Daniel Oates said. She died at a hospital early Friday morning after her live-in boyfriend, Aaron Thompson, called 911 and said Lowe was having trouble breathing.

Aarone Thompson was reported missing on November 14, 2005.
On Nov. 14, Thompson reported that his daughter, Aarone, was missing, telling police that she became upset and left the house when he refused to let her have a cookie.
Three days later, police halted their search and said they believed Aarone may have been dead as long as 18 months. They said they received a tip but have not released any specifics.
Lowe, Thompson and their defenders have criticized police as focusing on the couple instead of searching for Aarone, whose 7th birthday was on Nov. 30.
Police in turn have been openly critical of Lowe and Thompson, calling Aaron Thompson’s account a fabrication and the couple’s behavior “morally reprehensible.”
