The Shannon Whisnant wikipedia page is a biography of an friend of mine. His notoriety in this region has continue rise, since his discovery of a amputated human foot in a smoker grill. Since that time he has appeared on many local, national, and international news meida (reference links were provided). He was on the Judge Mathis show (picture was included). He traveled to Germany & made an appearance on Johannes B. Kerner show. He did a taping recently for the show Urban Legends for the Biography channel. Filming begins soon on a documentary on him. His story was covered in the opening dialog of the Jimmy Kimmel show. I feel he is an interesting enough character to warrant a wikipedia page. I would happily make changes that would keep the page in place. --Sailor28650 (talk) 03:53, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
