Brittany Shank's father, Greg Wallace, said St. Joseph County Sheriff Chad Spence and members of his command staff told him Thursday the county will work jointly with an MSP detective to re-examine the case file from the beginning, with "fresh eyes" from both agencies. Thursday's developments come almost seven years after Shank, 23, vanished on November 30, 2018 following a crash along Fawn River Road near Sturgis.
