Please forgive me?.
I see that Sharron was found four days later?
I must have missed something on the site.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Her case is still active, and there WERE suspects? Did you guys know who those suspects were? The monster that did this WILL pay for what they did one day, either in this world or otherwise.

Wow. Ms. Doreen, you've been on my Facebook page for months, and I had no idea.
My heart is so sad for you all right now. I will pray for Sharron and all of you.
Thanks so much for caring about my baby cousin. Now I know that you understand the pain, even more than I do.
Missing children is a matter close to my heart and I pray you find your sister one day.
Love, Jayme.

yes! as a matter of fact there were suspects!

Was, Is there any suspects???

This kind of thing is heart wrenching now I cant imagin how terrible it was in 75....

I saw Sharron's website from my FB home page. What a horrible story. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Stay strong and know that this monster will be found and justice will be done...

Sharron case is still active.
On March 29th (in 12 days)..it will be 34 years that Sharron left our home to meet up with some friends only 4 blocks away , but she never arrived. She was found murdered 4 days later.

Thanks for all your wonderful memories of sharron.

Prior family

Another sad year is approaching with still no leads to this horrible tragic loss..Sharron will forever be in our hearts..and hopefully the people or person responsible will finnaly be brought to justice.

what a horible tragic story..Sharron was a great girl..I remember her with fond memories..She passed away on my dad's birthday, when i was 16 years old as well as Sharron..With her sister's and family behind them, hopefully this will be solved..Sharron was as is looking down proud of her family, I'm sure

It is impossible to meet someone from Point St Charles that did not know about Sharon.She is remembered by her family and her community.Many people pray that this will be sovled.She will be forever surrounded by a supportive community.Point St Charles is knowen as a place where people remember and stick by their own. Never give up.

My dear sharon,angels go where no ones been before...i pray that they will find the monster who did this to you,and your family...Jesus is with you...Ruth Harrison & family

How very sad. I hope and pray that someone, somehow, will find out what happened....

HI DOREEN WE ARE FRIENDS THROUGH OUR SONS CHRIS AND KYLE. I JUST FINISHED READING THE WEBSITE AND WAS VERY TOUCHED. I TRUELY BELIEVE THAT SHARRONS KILLERS WILL COME TO JUSTICE, BE STRONG WHICH I KNOW YOU ARE.

19 years after Minneapolis slaying, a DNA match from Brenda Pikala fingernails. Skin found under her fingernails from the assailant has led to murder charges.

The above is not my article as it was taken from the Sharron blog however the idea of skin under the fingernails is definitely an applicable idea to this case. RH.

What is it?

Familial DNA searching is based on the fact DNA profiles of relatives are more likely to contain similarities than unrelated people. A partial match could mean the DNA of a convicted offender in the database is a sibling, parent or child of the suspect. Due to testing on the male Y chromosome, men can be eliminated or linked as a relative.

Scientists examine information on 13 locations on the human genome on two genetic markers, one from each parent. A match between 13 and more is considered a possible relative. A perfect match is when all 13 locations of DNA found at a crime scene match the 13 locations of a person's DNA sample.

How it works

California's DNA Data Bank consists of DNA profiles from convicted criminal offenders and a database of unknown crime scene (evidence) profiles.

When a crime scene profile is searched against an offender database, a match is declared if the crime scene profile is a perfect match to the offender's DNA profile. If the profiles are not exact but match around 15 of 26 DNA indicators, the source of the crime scene profile may be a relative of the offender in the database. This is partial DNA matching, or familial searching, where the goal is to find a relative of the suspect who may lead investigators to the suspect's identity.

California is the first state to have a policy on familial searching, while a few other states are exploring the issue. Nevada has no law regarding the issue.

Guidelines

The name of the suspected relative offender may be released to the investigating agency if the California protocol outlined below has been followed;

The crime scene DNA profile is a single-source profile.

The case is unsolved and all investigative leads have been exhausted.

A commitment is made by the agency and the prosecutor to further investigate the case if the name of the potentially related offender is eventually released.

Testing on the DNA evidence is done on the Y chromosome, which produces common male profiles in a paternal lineage, and has a biological match with the offender's Y chromosome profile.


Local DNA Family Ties

Washoe County DNA scientists examining evidence from the 2000 sexual assault and murder of Krystal Steadman, 9, concluded that DNA linked a 19-year-old man's father to the girl's sexual assault after his son was arrested for her murder and kidnapping. Thomas Robert Soria Jr., then 19, was arrested hours after Steadman's body was found down an embankment along U.S. 50. DNA comparison ruled him out as the man who raped the girl, but was so similar that it indicated the DNA profile was from his father, Thomas Robert Soria Sr. He later killed himself in jail, while his son was sentenced to a life term.


James Michael Biela was arrested Nov. 25 for the rape and strangulation of Brianna Denison, 19, after scientists examined his 4-year-old son's DNA and found it closely matched the DNA in the Denison case. Biela was arrested after scientists found his DNA was a perfect match to the evidence.

Hey, caught the site through the facebook group. Stay strong, never give up hope.

Dear proir family if this goes on tv please let me know love always Maggie (GLOVER) Bate.

My heart still aches for Sharron, I grew up with her at the boys and girls club and hung out at the restaurant at ash and wellington. I keep her picture with my family photos on my computer, I still miss her after all these years. She will stay there with me always. Thank you so much for sharing these memories with me. I've shared this with my two daughters as well. All my love to your family. Happy New Year

It doesn't matter what time of the year it is, or what holiday
