At 06:30 on 10 June, two years on from the crash, Shaw could see on her phone that the photograph was being moved.
Joined by her stepmother and father, she followed the tracker to a property and a man, who looked “really normal and respectable”, answered the door before initially denying all knowledge of the items.
Shaw explained she had fitted a tracker, at which point Shaw said his demeanor changed to being “quite arrogant”.
“He said, ‘I have them, but you’re not having them back’,” said Shaw.
“I was shellshocked by his response. I didn’t really expect to be confronted by the person who was taking them.”
She said the man continued to insist that the family “didn’t need a shrine, and should grieve in a graveyard”.
The man eventually handed the family two photographs, then more items were returned following a police search of his property.
Shaw believes not everyone appreciates the significance of a roadside memorial.
“I wouldn’t have understood why someone would want to go to the place where the person took their last breath, until I was in this position,” she said.
“But if it gives my little brothers even just an ounce of comfort, I’m going to make sure that they have that memorial.”
