Details of Disappearance
Sharaun was last seen outside of her family's residence on Edgecomb Avenue in the New York City borough of Manhattan at 5:30 p.m. on February 25, 1983. She went out to play at a nearby park, never returned home and has never been heard from again. Her mother initially thought she was at her godmother's house, and reported her missing after she didn't come home the next day.
Some friends reported having seen Sharaun near 168th Street and Broadway, and also in Greenwich Villagea area, on March 10. The witnesses described her as filthy, still wearing the clothes she'd left home in, and appearing to be upset. Her mother said she wasn't having any problems at home at the time of her disappearance.
