THE INSPIRATION FOR THE NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY GIRL IN THE PICTURE
Sharon Marshall was a brilliant and beautiful student whose future was filled with promise--until her murderous, fugitive father drew her into a lifetime of deception that became one of the most baffling cases in the annals of American true crime. A student at Forest Park High School near Atlanta, Georgia, popular blonde-haired Sharon Marshall was at the top of her class. Serving as a Lt. Colonel in the ROTC, she earned a full scholarship to Georgia Tech University to study aerospace engineering. She was the ultimate girl next door, sweet, generous, and well-adjusted. But Sharon had disturbing secrets so shocking and unique, they took more than a decade to unravel... This is the horrifying true story of a mysterious young woman caught in the violent web of the murderous fugitive she called her father--and a heartrending testament to the profound courage and perseverance of one woman trapped in the grip of extreme evil.Author Biography
