That unidentified woman resembles Sharon Giusti, missing since 1963 from Port Townsend, Washington. Also missing are her two infant children: Clara and Michelle.

Here is the page for Michelle. Michelle was 2 when she vanished with her mom and little sister. Her birthday was March 26, 1961. She had blue eyes and reddish hair, but I've seen lots of babies and toddlers whose hair color changes with age.

Clara was only 10 months when she vanished.

the only thing that didnt fit was that Sharon had short hair when she left, right? The doe had long hair that was cut and lying around the body?

it was mentioned that Floyd had returned a few times to Oklahoma. There was a man by the name of Alex Banning who lived in I think Broken Arrow. He had a common law wife by the name of Shirley Snow. He had been in prison before. I wonder if Floyd knew him.
Shirley went missing in 1975, and it was believed that Alex Banning murdered her and dumped her body in a well on his family property in Arkansas. It was stated she was about to turn in information that would incriminate someone in Bannings family of a crime. Around the same time, Melissa Highsmith was abducted from Fort Worth, TX, a VERY short drive from Oklahoma. If you look at the pictures of Shirley, she very much looks like the pic of the abductor of Melissa. Now..what my mind is saying...if Banning/Snow were in the business of abducting young children, well , it is possible he had connections to Floyd.
Just my two cents. I cant find ANY info on Banning. He died in prison in the 80s. Here is a link to pics of Shirley and the article about her dissapearance.

I think the above link is about his history..
So maybe Alex Banning was his link to Oklahoma. Worth looking into.

So he might have been telling the truth if this uncle was her "father figure" so do we need to be snooping JR to see if he has any female relitives missing or do we thing BF was innocent , but if he was a police officer and he was involved that is certianly a good reason for sharon to not say anything out of fear , remember she told a friend Floyd was not her father but he had people everywhere just a thought?

I can't help but think of the fact that Sharon Marshall and El Dorado Jane Doe died only a year apart and were living (and died) in neighboring states. They were both in the same situation and both working as "dancers". It makes you wonder how many other people may be in the same situation. I'm sure if the two women ever crossed paths, there would've been an interesting dynamic. I'm sure their personalities were quite different, but still. And I believe there's a strong chance both of them knew their real names, but for a certain reason couldn't reveal it. Very shocking and intriguing. May they both rest well in Heaven with their Creator, and may we soon unlock their mysteries here.

bumping for sharon hoping that answers come soon

OK so if this woman's story is true, and Matt thinks it is, Sharons uncle should be on the registered sex offender somewhere in the knoxville area , and his year of birth should be in the late 30's to late 40's he would be the person Floyd took her from, there is probably not a mother in the picture having been a prostitute as floyd said or being murdered and no one was missing her. thoughts anyone?

I think it's something to be pursued in the case. It certainly goes along with some details Matt proposed in his book. I hope they look into it. It won't hurt anything, and at least they have a good lead in a case so cold.

...and Wow TN is chock FULL of NUTS (lol) I mean child rapists (same thing) that are around Floyds Age or older! this is going to be a large list

According to a cousin of Rhonda Renee Moore, "Sharon Marshall" is Rhonda. Check out new blog at http://helpsharonmarshall.blogspot.com/

Very interesting, has there ever been an official comparison somehow?

I have been checking for updates on this case for years via the Wikipedia page. I have never come across anyone that's even heard of Sharon let alone wants to talk about her case with me, so I'm ecstatic to find a forum where people have been trying for years to find out her identity. This is a case close to my heart and I've never had anyone to talk about it with, so excuse me if I just spout out the thoughts that prey on my mind...

I really hope that the lead Matt has been reporting is genuine and that it pans out. I'm concerned that it's been over 18 months since this woman came forward and nothing seems to have come of it. Proving it would seem fairly simple - find out if Christina's body is buried under the house. I don't know much about that kind of thing so I'm probably underestimating the difficulties of doing it.

The only potential match that I think (personally) has any real resemblance to Sharon was Lori, who was ruled out. I'm really surprised that so many people think the picture of "Rhonda" looks like her, that mouth is so distinctive and Sharon's is nothing like it (again, just my opinion). I know we all see things differently. I'm not expecting anything to come of the rumours that there has been a positive match.

I'm not much of a "sleuth" myself, but there are a few things I've always thought worth considering..

1) Who took the picture of Sharon sitting on Floyd's knee, the youngest picture we have of her? If, as we suspect, she hadn't been with him long, the lies he told her to tell might not have been drummed in. She might have revealed something when talking to the photographer, like her real name, and s/he might just remember it.

2) Why is everyone so convinced that Floyd took Sharon around the time of that photo, and didn't have her from a baby? Everybody seems to accept this as fact but I've never seen any evidence for it. Is it just that this was the youngest photo in his collection?

3) I don't have kids or younger siblings, and I've wondered how easy it would be to get a 4/5 year old child to understand that her name has changed and she must now call herself Suzanne? Wouldn't kids of that age be likely to forget and give their real name when asked? It's made me think that her real name could be very close to Suzanne, perhaps Susan, so if she slipped up it wouldn't give the game away. I know she was very intelligent and perhaps I'm underestimating kids of that age anyway.

Another thing I've always wondered, but won't help us find out who Sharon is, is why she had to give up two of her children for adoption but not Michael. And why was he so obsessed with Michael? As far as we know, all his other victims were female. I suppose it's just one of many, many questions that will never be answered, even if we do find out who Sharon's real family were.

Hi CranberryJuice! Welcome!

I'm sorry I don't have answers to your questions (I discuss this case on another forum and read A Beautiful Child a couple of times).

IMO, I think FDF may have allowed Sharon to keep Michael, and not the other children, because possibly Michael looked the most like Sharon and maybe that's why he was more obsessed with him. Floyd is a twisted freak, after all, and it's hard to guess what his sick motives might have been.

Also, imo, I think Sharon looks enough like Floyd to pass as his daughter. Sharon, Floyd, and Michael all have that cleft chin, too. I think that's fairly rare, and occurs in about maybe 5% of caucasians. I'd have to research that. I even wondered if she was a niece or other relative that really was given to him ("she was abandoned to me") by one of his relatives.

Has DNA testing concusively proved that FDF is of no relation at all to Sharon, or just that he's not her father, or has any DNA testing been done? I know he's not Michael's father, and best I can remember, Matt's book says something about Sharon's blood samples being compromised some how and they might not even be hers. Forgot the details on that.

ETA - I read back a bit through the thread, it appears that one of Sharon's known daughters who had been adopted has had her DNA positively ID'd, so the whole thing about Sharon's blood samples being compromised are probably no longer relevant. Sorry, I'd forgotten all about that info.

Im pretty sure he is not in her family line at all they should be able to tell that , and as for Rhonda the resemblence stops at that pouty little mouth to me , but I believe the reason we dont think Floyd had her as a baby he was in prison untill 73

Key events

Glad to have you here, CranberryJuice! :seeya:

http://www.mattbirkbeck.com/1/category/a beautiful child/1.html I hope something is found out about this soon. I keep hoping answers will come soon.

I wish we knew if the father's interview produced anything I can't see that it would if it's true but I hope they search under the house although he has had many years to remove Christy s remains ugh frustrating ! To say the least!!!!!
