Her family frantically tried to find out what happened and brother Terrance Sullivan had already travelled to Europe, searching for the New Brunswick native.

But on Nov. 5, the Sullivan family received the joyous news that Shannon had been found alive.

“There’s no word I could come up with really to describe everything that went through me,” Terrance Sullivan told CBC. “You feel exhausted, but at the same time exhilarated.”

Cops in Nice recognized Shannon from police handout photos, determined it was her and contacted their brothers in blue in Toronto who reached out to the Sullivan family.

Terrance Sullivan caught a plane the next morning, adding that the family never gave up hope his sister would be found.

“We firmly believed we would find Shannon, but for it to actually happen it’s not something we were ever really ready for,” he said, adding his sister is doing “very well” and is now back in Canada.

However, her disappearance has raised many questions and her brother said they will be answered in time.
