One of two suspects charged in the 2022 death of a Pell City woman who was fatally run over while trying to foil a series of car break-ins has been extradited to Alabama.

Shawn Alyssa Masten, 31, was booked into the St. Clair County Jail at 5:11 p.m. Monday after arriving at the Birmingham airport shortly before 3 p.m. She had been held in Colorado’s Jefferson County Jail pending extradition.

Masten and Christopher Cody Masters, 30, are charged with murder in the death of 46-year-old Rebekah Poe. Both are convicted felons in Alabama.

Masten and Masters were arrested in the Denver area earlier this month.

Police said it was just before 7:30 p.m. that November 2022 night when Poe, who served at her church and was a longtime beloved employee at Waffle House, confronted suspects who had just broken into vehicles at a residence on Skyline Trail.

She was struck and killed as the suspects fled the scene.

Police at the time said the two people responsible – a man and a woman – were driving a dark, possibly black, Dodge Charger, traveling in the direction of Stemley Bridge Road in Pell City.

Pell City police Chief Clay Morris in a previous press conference called Poe’s death, “one of the most tragic crimes we’ve had in Pell City.”

Morris said the lengthy investigation was intensive, thorough, and deliberate. Investigators identified 5,000 potential suspect vehicles, analyzed 10,000 digital devices, and received 15,000 pieces of data from communication companies. More than 30 search warrants were carried out during the probe.

Morris said the couple left Alabama immediately after Poe’s death and had no intention of returning.

The chief said he is confident in the evidence linking them to the crime.

“We can definitely place them at the scene of the crime,’’ Morris said.

Masten has multiple arrests dating back to 2016 in both the Bessemer Cutoff and Birmingham divisions of Jefferson County. She pleaded guilty to drug possession in 2021 and received a 24-month sentence.

Masters, too, has been arrested numerous times in Alabama, including charges out of Jefferson, Lauderdale, Talladega, and Marion counties. He last pleaded guilty in 2021 to unlawful breaking and entering a vehicle.

At the time of Poe’s death, Masters had been out of state prison only five months, and Masten had been out of prison for roughly nine months.

Poe left behind a husband two daughters.

“Rebekah showed love and kindness towards everyone that she encountered. She served her community, her church, and her family,’’ a GoFundMe read. “Everything she did in life was with purpose and hard work.”

“There was never a time you didn’t see her with a smile. She was employed by Waffle House for 30 years, and everyone that walked in was greeted with love and a smiling face,’’ according to the GoFundMe.

“She served at Cropwell Baptist Church and was behind the scenes of many of its mission efforts. Our community was better with her in it. We are all thankful to know that she served and loved our Lord and is now in His presence.”
