Just a quick update, a member of the family of Rhonda/Melissa is being DNA tested...

 

[shadowangel]

I remember discussing Rhonda/Melissa with Shelsearay. At the time, as I recall, she lost contact with the family member who first brought Rhonda/Melissa to her attention.

I've been involved with this a long time, and seen a lot of possibilities...But I have to say, there's something about that picture.

 

[StealthTheory]

I have to admit...that photo of Rhonda really freaked me out.

 

[shadowangel]

After spending the larger part of a decade looking at photos...Rhonda/Melissa's is the first in which I can easily see Sharon. The turn-up nose, width of the mouth, spacing of the eyes--I sincerely hope the DNA testing finally takes place.

Quoting myself from a few years ago.


"I am posting this thread with Shelsearay's permission, based on the information she provided in the Suzanne Davis/Sharon Marshall thread. I cannot, and do not, vouch for the veracity of the story, but if it is true then this girl is deserving of our consideration and discussion.

Rhonda Moore was born Sept 10th, 1968. She was unwanted by her mother (name withheld by request). The whereabouts of the father, Dewayne Leroy Moore, are unknown. The grandmother offered to take over parental custody, but the mother refused. When Rhonda was about 2 years old, the mother informed the grandmother that she had given Rhonda into adoption. The adoption was completely legal. The couple that adopted her, J.H. and her husband (name as yet unknown) were in the military. The couple changed Rhonda's name to Melissa. Soon after, the family was transferred to Germany. While there, J became involved in prostitution and was returned to the US. She was supposed to relinquish custody of Melissa to authorites at Ft. Sill, OK. For unknown reasons, this did not occur. The family of Rhonda/Melissa were later able to contact J. She states she gave Melissa to someone but does not know, or remember who. She was not very forthcoming with information.
The family members, who contacted Shelsearay, have been researching this story for some time. They state that pictures of Rhonda/Melissa and other family members bear a stiking resemblance to Sharon Marshall and Michael [Anthony Hughes, whom Franklin Floyd kidnapped]".

Thanks quoting your old post Shadow. I vaguelly recall reading this when I was a newbie here at WS and wondered why I could never find any resolution regarding the Rhonda/Melissa possibility. Hopefully now that contact is re-established with the family DNA testing won't be as long of a wait as it has in the past.

I did a quick Intellius search and found several DLM's, but none that are quite the right age.

I never noticed it, and may be seeing things, but in the photo of Sharon (with her friend Jennifer) she appears to have the same birthmark/scar above her eye as does Rhonda/Melissa. Its hard to judge exact location, but after 14 years or so of growing.....

(IntriguedAmI, I hope you don't mind my using the photo of Rhonda/Melissa).

If you're seeing things, Shadow, so am I, because WOW. Good catch.

 

[shadowangel]

I'd never noticed it before, then again I never had a reason to look. In most of the pics of Sharon I can find, she's wearing her hair low on that side.

I don't post on here often, but read all the time. I have Matt's book and have read it and all the threads about Sharon. I have to say, I really do have hope that this is her. I also see a scar or something in the same spot.

Keeping my fingers crossed

 

[Cubby]

I wish I could see the pictures larger than the attachments. They are too small....

Did anyone notice that it looks like Rhonda/Melissas left cheek (our right) looks a little fuller? or is that the angle of the photo?

also, can someone refresh my memory on any plastic surgery Sharon had on her face? IIRC she had her nose done at one point and possibly lip injections? I'm trying to remember what differences might be due to any possible surgeries....

I do think they look alot alike....

 

[chaddylex]

I've been hoping for a long time that we could find out the true identity of Sharon Marshall. I was very sad when the DNA came back and Christina Carter was not Sharon .

I think the mouth of Rhonda/Melissa compared to the picture of Sharon as a child with Franklin Floyd look alike...


I read the book, joined Matt Birkbeck's facebook page hoping to hear of something positive being releaved in this case.

I came down here to cold cases last night and saw this great news that they are going to have DNA tested against Rhonda/Melissa, and I saw on FB that Rhonda's aunt said that she thinks Sharon could be Rhonda..

I hope we can give Sharon an identity even though it's been about 20yrs since she has been with us.

 

[shadowangel]

All I know of Rhonda/Melissa is the info that Shelsearay received. However, it does fit with the stories Floyd told, and the geographic location--- Floyd had stated he got Sharon from a prostitute, that he rescued her (which in his twisted mind he probably believes) and they did surface for the first (known) time in this part of the country.

Time and DNA will tell...Its been my little dream that the last thing Floyd sees before his chestnuts roast in Ol' Sparky is a picture of Sharon with her real name attached.

Here is a photo of Rhonda's mother, Linda.

Here is a photo of Rhonda's mother, Linda.

Oh Wow! Can you do a side by side?

We need some sleuths who do the photo side by side stuff.

O-M-G!

Copy and past from the previous post. (I don't know how to copy the thumbnails...... )

Who can do side by sides with these?

 

[Spurser]

I'll give it a try.

IntriguedAmI also caught this: check out Linda's mouth and compare it with Michael's. Same shape. Amazing.

(Also: LINDA. Her name is LINDA.).
