Episode 11: Sharon Thor – Franklin, NJ
A mysterious phone call got her out of the house, but she never returned. No real witnesses, no real clues. What happened to Sharon Thor?
Episode Summary
In this episode of True Crime Unwind, we head to Franklin, NJ, to cover the tragic murder of 15-year-old Sharon Thor. Sharon was a dedicated dancer and was just two days away from her sixteenth birthday when she ran out of her house after a mysterious phone call just 15 minutes before needing to leave for dance. Three days later, she was found just a quarter mile from her home. Investigators received little cooperation from Sharon’s classmates, and leads dried up quickly.
If you have any information related to the 1982 murder of Sharon Thor, you can call Crimestoppers at (888) 577–8477 or the Somerset County prosecutors' office major crimes unit at (908) 231–7100.
We also encourage everyone to sign the linked change.org petition to help get more activity in Sharon’s investigation.
