OK OK - Sharon Marshall, 20, multiple aliases, OKC, 1990 - ID'd as Suzanne Sevakis - #4

This is just bizarre. Matt posted this on Facebook:

Trying to sort out what's up with the National Center. Police in Oklahoma still believe for some reason that Floyd was Sharon's real father, and that has negated some testing.

how could floyd be her real father if her dna did not match his.when he tried to get custody of her son they did dna and it didnt match. ok pd would have to have some solid evidence to prove that floyd is the father. do you think floyd gave them some switched dna of hers that was his and would have came up as a match?. the ncmec has info and the ok pd has other info so someone needs to get the story straight and i think its the ok pd

Not that there is any real good possible outcome in any of this....but this being possible, after all this time of confusion and testing and searching...it just makes me feel sick.

I would think the fact that Floyd was not a match to Michael would negate the theory that he could be Sharons father. The implications of what he did to her during her lifetime, would become even more heinous, if somehow this were proven to be true.

I hope Matt makes known the source of his statement. If it is just Floyd 'talking', it shouldn't even see the light of day imho.:waitasec:

Hmmm, look at this discussion comment from Matts facebook:

Hendry Betts III: Floyd was _not_ Sharon's real father. I went to High School with Sharon in 1980's and I know what she told me.

Thank you Mel, I really appreciate it!! I felt the book made it sound as if there was a lot of questions concerning the DNA they had been using. I'm happy to hear that is not the case!

mnegri is correct. the dna they are using for Sharon is really her dna. The rest of it is bunk and rumor...... drives me batty!

 

[Cubby]

FWIW, if just civilians are calling OKPD why would it matter what OKPD says? LE doesn't normally give their hand out to civilians.... so this could be and is likely just not answering the publics questions from OKPD. I don't know why that isn't the obvious.

Sharon's case is like an episode of "The Twilight Zone" (and not a very well written one, either). *sigh*

I got a response from Colleen:

Hi Xxxxx,

Yes I am familiar with Sharon Marshall's story, and I just read it again.
Weird. Totally.

Personally, I think there is little hope of finding out who she really
was. If Michael could be located and was still alive, there would be a
chance that a DNA match would at least say who his father was. It would
also produce Sharon's mitochondrial DNA that he inherited from her. This
might lead somewhere.

But I think Michael is dead. To make matters worse, if a body does turn up
that might be his, it will be impossible to do DNA testing on it unless
they disinter his mother Sharon for mtDNA testing. His father is unknown,
so Y-testing (if any Y-DNA survives) would probably only be useful if it
proves the body belongs to someone else.

In a perfect world, old Franklin Floyd would just confess and let us know
the truth. But I don't think that is meant to be.

I dated a guy in high school named Frank Floyd, but fortunately it's not
the same guy.

Colleen

I sent her back another letter with information about her other two children and that maybe mtDNA could be obtained and therefore it will be available if Michael is ever found. Hopefully she will send me another reply!

I think the important thing is not to rehash this. Unless something new comes up that proves otherwise, Sharon's father is not Floyd.

I am more interested in what police in Oklahoma think. Are the police Matt refers to at FB the same crew who were allegedly associates of Floyd during his time in the state? Didn't a bunch of cops show up at Sharon's funeral or am I remembering wrong?

 

[SunnieRN]

From reading Matts book, it sounded like it was friends of hers from her job at 'Passions' (?), Floyd and two 'bodyguards' he brought, as well as the clergy. Floyd apparently rambled on for quite some time. There was no mention of police officers being there that I recall.

The statements about Floyd having a "police escort" at the memorial came from some of the other dancers at a club in which Sharon worked.

I've always thought (and this is just my interpretation, please keep in mind) that the police "knew" the indentity of the young woman struck along an Oklahoma highway-she was Tonya Dawn Hughes (nee Tadlock). Floyd was known to be an excellent forger. I'm sure he created everything necessary to bring "Tonya" to life...Birth certificate, school records, whatever.
As to Sharon Marshall...Oklahoma police probably said, "Sharon who?" To my knowledge, there was never anything in the OK investigation(s) to link the woman they knew as Tonya with a young girl known as Sharon Marshall. The connections were made years later by the FBI, and by that time the police in OK were more concerned with a missing 6-year old boy than the cold case of a stripper who was the victim of a hit-and-run.

That's what I was remembering, thank you. I also remember something about Floyd having friends in law enforcement in several different states who helped him.

Aside from the possibility of LE helping out Floyd (which I thought of first, but then considered that any friends of Floyd's would be long retired by now anyway), this is the simplest explanation for Oklahoma LE's response.

ABC the book , News Papers , News Coverage.......Micheal Father was at court looking straight at Floyd
they have Micheal's DNA testing was done at the time Floyd was proveing Micheal was his (Floyd's) Child.

Micheal Bio father however was in court at hearing for ( Floyd ) Kidnapping Micheal.
Micheals, Bio dad Knows Jennifer.........!
Sharons Marshall...... friend from High School....and as all testifed at the Oklahoma City Kidnapping trail...I guess we can assume DNA for Micheal is not an issue.....

Ok, read Matts book. Was 'Sharons' first child a son or a daughter? Why have they not run her childrens DNA against the DNA that is supposedly 'Sharons'? Wouldn't it be horrid if all this time it wasn't truly hers?

I find it hard to believe that no one ever questioned Floyds behavior enough to rescue 'Sharon'. Thankfully, I feel like people for the most part are getting more vocal/involved when it comes to child abuse.

It is assumed that her 1st child was a boy...letters wrtten to Sharon Marshall best friend
I havent seen the letters and that is what I have read.....that its a boy !

Floyd resided in a moble Home park in Tulsa Oklahoma and a Sheriffs resided next door and Floyd became friends with him.....ref: The Book ABC

 

[worldwatcher]

Hello Everybody,
I have been lurking for a year since I have read the book about Sharon and about a week ago I saw the questions that were raised during doutroux investigation (that still aren't asnwered)and it seems to me that they have similair connections with the police or people high placed,very strange that floyd was escorted by the police during the memorial.Something fishy is going on

 

[Tuffy101]

I meant to say is Floyd's next door neighbor the sheriff as said the ABC book...this guy would not have known anything about AKA:Sharon Marshall and seems may have went with Floyd....thus the speech Floyd made at the Memorial service....sheriff friends to back him and he look good....
the sheriff escort may have been acting out of sympathy for the situation.

 

[SunnieRN]

Latest, Colleen is trying ti reach Matt concerning the case. Floyd is a person, that despite his horrible crimes, has gotten a LOT of incredibly lucky breaks!

I had already told Colleen that Sharon had two other children. She is also now aware that Michaels father is known. That was the first email I received from her. Any way, I hope and pray that once and for all Sharon/Tonya can be given her true name. She and her children deserve that.

Just curious, they know who Sharons daughter is, do they also know who her son is? Were the adoptions done legally?

Thanks so much everyone!!

 

[Tuffy101]

Sharon Marshall first child was said to be a boy as told in a letter to her best friend Jennifer.
was Sharon made to write that ? "Its a Boy ".
because .....the father of the boy baby/girl ......(is known) and also known to FLoyd.... therefor in some fashion all of
Sharon Marshall children have some identity information.
1) child's father known.ref; highschool/ knowledge/ friends
2) Micheal ,his father is known ref;news papers/news coverage/the book ABC.
3) a girl child, We are told that Matt B. knows whom she is unknown as to whom the father is.Have to take Matts B. Word.....

Thank you! I hope Matt takes this opportunity to work with Colleen on Sharons case. I'm sure Colleen has idea's and avenues which have never been been utilized in Sharons case. From what I know of Colleen she has amazingly dogged persistance with cases and would be a fantastic asset and resource with Sharons case.
