This is a bizarre story to say the least It started sometime in the late 1960's when a little girl disappeared from SOMEWHERE.
She has gone by several aliases: Suzanne Davis in Oklahoma City in 1975, Sharon Marshall in Forest Park, Georgia in 1986. Tonya Dawn Tadlock in Tampa Florida in 1988, where she gave birth to a son, Michael Anthony Hughes. She also was an exotic dancer, and a co-worker, Cheryl Ann Commasso, 19 was beaten to death in 1988. She went unidentified for quite awhile.
Suzanne or Tonya Or Sharon was always accompanied by her "ailing" "Father", Franklin Delano Hughes, a psycopathic pedophile who kidnapped this little girl and sexually abused her from the time she was about 4 years old.
They even got married in New Orleans, then "Tonya" was killed in a suspicous hit and run accident in Tulsa, OK in 1990. DNA tests proved the child she gave birth to was not Hughe's biological child. The boy was placed into foster care, where his foster parents wanted to adopt him.
Meanwhile, a mechanic was working on Hughes pickup truck that had been auctioned off. Stuck above the gas tank were a slew of pictures showing that this little girl had been sexually abused throughout her life by this man. Pictures of a dead Cheryl Ann Commasso, beaten and bound were also found. Pictures of other women were in this packet as well.
In 1994, Hughes went to Michael's school in Choctaw, OK , held the school staff at gunpoint, kidnapped Michael and the principal and stole the man's pickup truck. Hughes left him tied to a tree, and Michael hasn't been seen since.
Hughes is on death row in Florida for Chery Ann's murder. He claims Michael is alive. Witnesses have come forward stating that Hughes told them he drowned Michael in a bathtub near Atlanta, GA.
He is not saying anything about anything pertaining to who Sharon or Tonya or Suzanne really is, or where she came from. She would tell inquiring friends that her Mother was killed in an accident or that she had died from Cancer. And when the questions got too personal, they would leave town.
This woman graduated from Forest Park High School in GA with a full scholarship to Georgia Tech where she had planned to study Aerospace Engineering. Instead, she ends up dead, unidentified and witnessed God knows how much abuse.
Remember, she would have been born anytime between 1968-1970. She had blond hair and blue eyes. Come on! She has to of been missed! Even if she was sold by a drug addicted Mother, someone would still miss her. I realize that laws back then were very different from laws regarding missing children now. Maybe there is a resemblance to some of her siblings , who might recognize her. Take a good look and if you know anything, contact The Center For Missing and Exploited Children or The Doe Network.
