Searching For Anna - #3

[Dr. Doogie]

Just wondering, do any pictures of this Jack C. Sharp exist? Especially any from the early to mid 70's?

We have a picture from a newspaper in 1974. I wil try and post it here over this weekend.

If so, is it possible to get back in contact with the tipster who believed she saw Anna in the fall of 76 with a man named "Bill" is it possible to have her look at a photo and see if this is the man she remembers seeing?

Since he would have been incarcerated after 74 it's still possible he could have passed Anna along to an associate while he was incarcerated. Especially if he had a relatively short sentance.

I would hope that he was in prison for longer than two years for kidnapping two girls, but this is California, so anything is possible. I would want to establish that Sharp was a free man in late 1976 before contacting the tipster. If we discover that we was not incarcerated at that time, then we should show her the picture.

Additional information I have found on Jack C. Sharp

Jack Clifton Sharp dob 05-23-1930
listed in veromi.net with the middle name spelling of Cliffton in El Cerrito CA with the same dob.

SSN 132-18-2829 issued NY
deceased 05-24-2002

will add anything else I find.

I think I found him listed as a son in the 1930 census in luzerne PA.. with a birth year of 1930 but don't have a subscription to ancestry.

Hi Cubby
I checked out the PA guy, and his birthdate is off. It says he's 1/12 (1 month old), and the census was taken in April. Are you sure of the dates?

Thanks Doogie for the additional info on Sharp.

 

[Cubby]

I found the 05/23/1930 DOB on a criminal record search.. verified it with the SS info and with a veromi search of first name and birthdate...

Maybe the May and Mar were incorrectly entered for the census or this is a different jack sharp with a march 1930 birth?

The census was taken in April 1930, (1 month before the criminal Jack Sharp was born). The record for the PA Jack said he was 1/12th year old. Sorry I didn't explain myself better.

The couple in the car is why Jack is of interest to me. I found a Jack C Sharp, (but various birth years listed) who married the same woman at least twice. Once in NV and possibly twice in CA. My imagination started wandering, thinking of various scenarios.

I thought maybe when the census data was entered it was entered incorrectly with a march birth month instead of may, but that makes no sense if this Jack wasn't born yet. Could explain the error for an earlier census but not someone not yet born in April of 1930 :doh: LOL!

I see that no searchable online records exist for California prison records.

I found the sentencing info for JCS but nothing yet for actual amount of time served.

No, the Peoples Republic of California feels that informing the public might inconvience the convicts and interfer with their rights. :bang:

...which probably means he served one year for kidnapping two young girls after a history of molestation (Man, I hate my state sometimes.). More important to our purpose, that would make him likely to have been out in 1976.

My thoughts exactly Doogie. I cringed reading a year? I still have not found much, afriend on another forum, found this... and I did too.... I was hoping to "solicit" someone to do some research who was local.

from a web site:

The state prison system in California does not have an online lookup of current
or past prisoners. However, this information can be obtained by telephone with
the prisoners name and DOB. Call 916-445-6713 and expect to make multiple
attempts to get through. In the alternative, you may fax a request to
916-322-0500.

I guess we will have to do this after the holiday weekend. One site said expect to call over and over and over and over to get through.....

Again, hoping to just get that release date!

Anyone have time to spend the same amount of time as you would at the DMV or calling CSE? Have at it........ otherwise I will, but I do not have easy access to a fax....

 

[Dr. Doogie]

I tried this on an unrelated investigation that I was doing and ran into a brick wall. My research concerned incarceration dates in the 1960's through the 1980's. I found out when my POI was released in 1983, but none of the earlier other long series of prison stints. Maybe someone with more time and determination can acheive more than me.

I have been wondering if any of the guests who visited the day of Anna's disappearance were expected that day?

Were there any guests on this rainy day who arrived out of the blue?

What about any days previous to the disappearance? Does anyone recall anything out unusual upon reflecting the day?

Again, trying to close all possiblities.

It blows my mind that she could disappear within such a short time frame considering this happened in a rural area. Perhaps there was a stranger in the Half Moon Bay area eyeing the schools as well... ?

I realize aspects of this question has been discussed in the past, you just never know what one may recall.

Thanks!

The one unexpected guest (who also was the last person to see Anna, since he said she greeted him as he drove up) has been questioned extensively, as were the blacksmith who was there that day. We have not found anything to indicate that either of these people were involved in Anna's disappearance.

Not only is it mind-blowing that she disappeared in such a short period of time, but also that despite the very quick response of the Sheriff's Office and their extensive search, not a clue was found.

Regarding someone watching the school: Anna's kindergarten friend posted some time ago having noticed someone watching her and her friends as they walked home from school. Of course, at this point there is no way we can really pin this down except as a possibility.

 

[SideKick]

Thanks Annasmom,

I do know the last person to see Anna was cleared.

The someone watching the school is interesting. I recall talk of a sex offender living near and someone feeling edgy who lived nearby. I wonder who this person was/is? I did a quick Google search but didn't find anything yet.

We have made contact today with a woman who says that she was abducted and raised in a "family" with other abducted children and is searching for her birth family. Her age and eye color make it unlikely that she is Anna, though we will look further into the possibility before dismissing it. She does resemble Annasmom in her facial features.

I am also interested in the other members of her family - could Anna be one of her "sisters"?. The intriguing thing about her story is that she was raised in Massachusetts - the same state that Brody's death certificate said was his birth state.

I also offered our assistance in her search for her family. Any help that we can offer to assist a family finding their missing daughter will hopefully build us up "karmic brownie points" for our search.

I will keep you informed of any developments as I can.

 

[Lucy's mom]

Thank you Dr. Doogie! Please, please let us know how this goes. Even if this isn't Anna, you might be able to help some parents out there who also had their child abducted. We'll keep you and Anna's mom in our prayers!:blowkiss:

 

[iNTERESTEDWOMAN]

Wow, this is big Dr. Doogie. Thank you for sharing it with the forum. Regardless if she or her abducted siblings turn out to be Anna, this could be a blessing for many, many people! Please keep us updated as you can. I'll be saying a prayer of hope.

I have been in contact with a Greek Adoptee Reunion Registry. The woman who runs this agency kindly responded and is willing to help with the search for Anna. I will post what she wrote to me in hopes anyone can add or comment on this connection.

From Ifigenia:

I have read Anna's story very carefully. It is really an extraordinary case. Though we haven't a lot of secure elements of how Anna has been adopted in Greece. Or anyway adopted.

See people in my country believe that I am specialized in illegal adoptions.
The truth is that I am doing my best to help people that they were victims of illegal adoptions.
I am a reunited adoptee my self who was sold by a criminal net of black baby market in Greece.
I have a couple of things to suggest as a friendly advice.
First for an illegal adoption what is needed is the victim to be an infant.
For this they infant was claimed of unknown parents and than was given to adoption.
A birth certification from any registration Hall was provided from a doctor for this purpose.

Anna was 5 years old in the time of her disappearance. No such certification can be provided. A 5 years old child can't be identified as a child of unknown parents.
Therefore such a birth certificate can't be presented in front of any court authority ...each.

I am sure that the authorities there investigated all ready if any passport was granted to a girl in this age. I want to believe so.
I see that there are very few elements about the Greek doctor that has a possible involvement with Anna's possible adoption.
Really I can't. Not because Greeks aren't capable in such evolvements.
They certainly are.

Anna was a big girl big enough to start talking. No one could jeopardize his status or carrier in an abduction selling a 5 years old girl who can talk.

Black market in Greece of selling babies ( infants) is really flourishing. Abductions that living no trace behind. But there aren't illegal adoptions in elder children.

Only one in case such a case could be covered. can explain right away. If the alleged parents had a girl in Anna's age , kidnapped her and than asked for a passport for Anna by falsifying Anna's photo and presented only the birth certification in a State of Usa that no one knew that their real girl was all ready dead. This way is much easier than an illegal adoption. Any adoption needs a court decision plus a social worker to investigate the case. Who could jeopardize such a thing for a five years old girl?

Believe me I know very much about an adoption process.

However what i can promise is to have my antenna's high in the sky in case any info will cross us about Anna.

Also Anna's story , if permission will be granted, will be published in the new web site that we will shortly have on air.

The first global data base for missing persons in Greece.

See a couple of pages. 3000 cases will be on air in English and in Greek.
The search site is called www.thebookoflife.gr and it is under construction now.
Gladly we will include Anna's story in here also.

** Ifigenia is busy at the moment reuniting and finding lost people, but will be in touch with Anna's mother soon to discuss airing Anna's story.

Cheers!
