Three Days in October: The Disappearance, Discovery, and Unfinished Case of Sharon Marie Thor
She disappeared. She was found. The questions never stopped.
On an October day, college student Sharon Marie Thor vanished from her ordinary routine and slipped into the space between fear and rumor. Three days later, her body was discovered-ending the search, but not the story. What should have become a focused, determined investigation slowly unraveled into half-answers, quiet decisions, and a case that faded into the background while a family was left to live with a wound that never healed.
Three Days in October: The Disappearance, Discovery, and Unfinished Case of Sharon Marie Thor follows those three critical days-and everything that came after. True crime author Linda Davidson traces Sharon's last known movements, the discovery of her body, and the official response that raised as many questions as it answered. Drawing on contemporary reporting, public records, and surviving accounts, the book pieces together how a promising young woman could go from missing to found, and still never truly be granted justice.
Inside, you'll find:
A clear, narrative reconstruction of Sharon's final days and the moment she was found
The early investigation and where it stalled, shifted, or simply stopped
The impact on Sharon's family and community, and the way grief turned into a decades-long demand for answers
The patterns her case shares with other unsolved or unfinished investigations involving women and girls
This book does not pretend to solve Sharon Marie Thor's case. Instead, it asks why a young woman's death could be declared "finished" on paper while feeling anything but finished to the people who loved her. Thoughtful, respectful, and relentlessly focused on the victim at its center, Three Days in October is a haunting look at how a case can be closed-and still feel profoundly unfinished.
