In a recent media post, the Women on Wings Society, a non-profit agency that advocates for victims of family violence, issued a warning to women adding that Shyback has been posting on dating sites and other social media sites like TikTok.
The founder of the society, Maj Osman, said, “It’s our moral responsibility to make sure that these women that are on dating sites, to make them aware that there is someone like that out there online, that that they need to be really cautious of who they are talking to.”
Friends and family of Lisa Mitchell say other women need to know that her husband, who was convicted of manslaughter in her death, is now out of prison and posting on online dating sites.

Andrea Odor, who was one of Mitchell’s best friends, said, “Everybody deserves to know what they’re getting into in any kind of relationship — don’t just watch all the happiness that people put on TikTok and post on Instagram.”
Police found Lisa Mitchell’s body stuffed into a rubbermaid container and encased in concrete in the basement of their Calgary home.

The victim’s mother, Peggy Mitchell, said, “I am glad that someone put the warning out — I think anybody should put a warning out on anyone that’s been incarcerated or been charged with the physical harm or death for anything.”
However, the lawyer who represented Shyback during his trial, Balfour Der, told Global News, that’s not how our justice system works.
“Mr. Shyback has served his sentence — he’s entitled to date people if he wants, he’s free to do whatever. So these people who are lambasting him on social media are completely wrong,” said Der, who adds, “Mr. Shyback is entitled to a life. He was charged with the crime. He did his time, and that’s the end of it.”
Global News has attempted to contact Shyback for comment, but so far has not received a response.
