A single mummified human foot inside a white-and-teal New Balance turned a quiet culvert into the key that reopened a 29-year-old disappearance; a laminated gym card with the name Sharon Petersen lay pressed above the waterline. Who had been carrying a half-century routine, two pairs of shoes, and then vanished-only to leave enough preserved tissue and paper records to force science to answer decades later?
In this episode, we follow the sequence of discoveries from the morning Tracy Sullivan found the shoe on Birch Mill Road to the decades-old tibia that sat in an evidence freezer, asking how preserved evidence and archived records ultimately challenged the old assumptions about Sharon Petersen’s fate.
Person: Sharon Petersen
Date: March 8, 1993 (last confirmed sighting) and March 11, 2022 (shoe discovery)
Location: Birch Mill Road culvert on the southwest edge of Alderman Marsh, Kellerton, Indiana
Status: Missing for 29 years; human foot recovered in 2022; tibia recovered in 1994 preserved in evidence freezer
Event: Partial tibia recovered in 1994 and mummified foot found in 2022 preserved by saponification
- The shoe found March 11, 2022 was a women's size 8 New Balance, white and teal, with double-knotted laces.
- Sharon Petersen ran a fixed 3.5-mile loop each morning that took her 51 minutes and left at approximately 5:15 a.m.; last confirmed sighting about 5:40 a.m.
- Investigators compiled a 212-name suspect list during the initial 18-month investigation after her 1993 disappearance.
- A partial human tibia was recovered from Alderman Marsh in 1994, tested then but too degraded for a match, and placed in an evidence freezer with chain of custody maintained.
- Kenneth Farris, Sharon’s ex-husband and a focal person of interest, died in 2007 and was never charged.
