Fifteen‑year‑old Sharon Thor left her Franklin Township, New Jersey home on October 26, 1982 after receiving a phone call from someone she seemed to know. She told her mother she’d be right back, climbed into a car with two men, and vanished. Three days later, her body was found in a wooded area near her home. Sharon had been beaten to death, suffering severe blunt‑force trauma to her head and ribs, and the circumstances suggested a possible sexual assault.

Sharon was a dedicated ballet student, just days away from her 16th birthday, and her murder remains unsolved more than four decades later. Her family continues to seek answers and hopes someone will finally come forward with the truth.
