Help Bring My Daddy Shannon Cargile Home

He fought as hard as he could and for as long as he could. 14 hours on the side of the road by hisself before he was found. His body beaten and battered, his procedure to stop the bleeding on his spleen went good, his MRI scan ended up showing a much worse outcome for his brain, completely sheared is how the doctors explain it. He took a turn for the worse last night May 25th and his breathing got worse as did his blood pressure. The infection from his broken ankle and dying foot was spreading up his leg and making him very sick. The last option to give him a fighting chance was to amputate his lower leg so we made the decision to give him that last chance. That surgery went great with no complications at all but his blood pressure was still bottoming out and they had him on every medicine there is that they possibly could. His little body had fought so hard for so long and was tired. He passed away with me, his wife my mama and my daughter. His oldest grandchild right by his side loving on him and holding his hands. This should not have happened. He should still be here but someone so selfishly ran him over and left him to die. Hit and run that has now turned to manslaughter. We were are all struggling as I know most everyone is right now and now he’s gone and we need help with bringing him home and his cremation at the very least. Please if you can and have it in your please donuts towards bringing my daddy home. Please please help us get him home.

My Daddy, Tracy Shannon Cargile, 57 years old and lifelong resident of Glynn county was hit and left for dead all alone on the side of a busy dark highway Thursday night, May 22nd between 9:45pm-10:00pm between the end of highway 99 where it meets highway 82 and the natural gas company at mile marker 4. His back tire had blown out and he managed to get his vehicle off of the main highway and into the clearing at the end of 99. He spoke with my Mama last at 9:15pm. He told her he thought he hit something, the tire was flat and he was about to start walking home. He thought he was at the opposite end of highway 99. He thought he was at the end that meets highway 17 closest to their house but he was not. After another hard day of work, tired, dark outside and now with a blown-out tire he thought he was on his way home where he belongs but was actually headed towards Brantly County. He didn't make it far at all before he was hit. Ran over and just left there all alone. He may have walked a total of 15-30 minutes before this happened to him. Walking with the flow of traffic how they say you're supposed to just to be hit from behind and left with no regard for his life or the family and friends that love him. They didn't stop, there were no skid marks, didn't call in it, didn't even try to help him in any way at all. Just ran away from what they had done cowardly and selfishly. He was not found until the next day, Friday the 23rd, just before 12:00pm. Thankfully someone finally saw him and called it in. If not for this person there's no telling how much longer he would have laid there or possibly not even been alive by the time he was found. He was all alone in the pitch-black dark all night and then left to burn in the sun on a very hot day for half of the day. He was still alive but unresponsive when he was found. Life flighted to UF Shands in Jacksonville Fl. The doctors and nurses there being so kind and caring and making sure they took care of him like he was their family. The officer responsible for taking this call and handling my Daddy’s case spoke with my fiancé over the phone and told him he has nothing to go off of and there's not much he knows to do because there's no evidence, no car parts left behind nothing he says. But there is. Theres a whole lot to go off of. I myself went out and searched the area where my Daddy laid broken and alone for all those hours and I found his other shoe, his thermos, items out of his wallet and what appears to be broken head light pieces as well as a piece off a bumper right there where i found his things. All pretty much in plain sight. Being distraught over all of this, an only child and Daddy’s girl to say the least, managed to find all of this. Really shows that police officer did not even look for anything. If he had of, he would have found these things. We have not been contacted at all with any news of what they are doing to try to find who did this to him. So as far as we know our wonderful Police Station is doing nothing. We have dash cam footage sent to us from a citizen who saw him walking at 9:45pm and from where he was in that footage to where he was found ran over was maybe 10-20 minutes after she passed him depending on how fast or slow, he was walking. Now that i have personally narrowed down the time frame to within a 30-minute window the cell towers could easily be pinged to see who was there at the time he was hit and then it could be narrowed down from there especially since they also left pieces of their vehicle behind. Why couldn't this officer do this much? Is it too much work? Does it not even matter because it's not one of their family members? So, I guess in this county it's ok to run people over as long as it's not directly in front of cameras and no one sees you do it. No caution tape was placed, nothing to mark where they found him, did they even take pictures of the scene? What will the police report say? Thats the message they are sending. The only items still missing from that night are the knives he had in his pockets, his black rectangle shaped bag that he took everywhere with him, it had his prescriptions and other things in it, the lid to his thermos and his truck keys. Maybe his bag got stuck to the vehicle? I'm not certain but will continue to look for as long as it takes. And then our Fire Sation #6 here on exit 29. I must say I am so beyond grateful they responded and helped get him off of the side of the road and where he needed to be to be life flighted but they took it upon themselves to throw away his clothes. The last clothes he had on. What if he doesn't pull through this? Then here we are his family, his only child, his wife, grandchildren. None of us even have the option to keep his clothes. That was his property as well, that should have been put in the bag with his other items and given to us. The fire Chief of this station says they cut his clothes off and they were already torn to shreds when they found him, so they threw them away, but they put his shredded sock in the bag that was also obviously cut off of him. How does that make sense? And when I asked them to please get them out of the trash, she said they were thrown away on the ambulance but the first fire fighter i spoke with made it sound like they threw them away there. But none the less a careless act and now we will never have my Daddys clothes back. Something I would have held onto for the rest of my life. And what if there was evidence on those clothes? Paint flakes? Something that could help identify who did this. Now it's just gone, gone forever. His injuries consist of, both lungs collapsed, multiple broken ribs, fractured skull, two brain bleeds which have actually turned out to be a brain shear they have found through his MRI, fractures in his lower back, C6 in his neck is fractured, his spleen and liver are damaged, his left ankle completely broken and there's no pulse in that foot now, aorta is damaged, extremely high potassium levels affecting his kidneys so he is now on dialysis, possible broken nose and fractured left wrist, sever road rash down his back and multiple other places on his body. He had a procedure to stop the bleeding in his spleen and that went well. Now he's facing having his left foot amputated because there is no pulse and it is slowly dying and could cause him to go septic. He still hasn't woken up yet but as long as he survived all alone on the side of that highway, a total of 14 hours, we have high hopes and a lot of faith that he will pull through this. He has to pull through this. He is his grandchildren's best friend. He’s my Daddy, always been my protector. Now it's my turn to look after and protect him and whoever did this needs to be brought to justice. People get away with too much in this town and now its ok to just run someone over and leave them to die? I've gathered the evidence; I've narrowed down the timeline to a 20-30 minute window of when he was hit. Now I just need our Police to please, please care enough to put in the rest of the work to find this person. Legally I don't have the means to ping the towers and go looking for people or I would. It would already be done. Please, bring justice for my Daddy. This is not something that anyone should be able to just get away with.
