2:18
Speaker 1: Scott Morgan, Professor Forensics, Jacksonville State University, an author of
2:21
Speaker 1: Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon, star of a brand
2:25
Speaker 1: new program on the True Crime Network, Poisonous Liaisons. But
2:29
Speaker 1: first to Crime Online dot Com investigative reporter Levi Page,
2:33
Speaker 1: what can you tell me about? Who is Alexis Shark?
2:36
Speaker 1: I'm looking at her photo. She's stunning. So she's twenty
2:39
Speaker 1: six years old. Nancy. She's originally from Pennsylvania, but she
2:44
Speaker 1: had a dream ever since she was a child, of
2:46
Speaker 1: living in the South, so she moved in January of
2:50
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, Texas. She loved the long summers, the
2:56
Speaker 1: mild winners, the warmer weather, and she loved to both.
3:00
Speaker 1: And with the weather, you can vote more down in
3:03
Speaker 1: the South. So she's twenty six years old and she's
3:06
Speaker 1: an Instagram influencer, and that's someone that's paid to endorse products.
3:12
Speaker 1: And she was very health conscious and she loved selling
3:16
Speaker 1: organic healthcare products, makeup, hair styling. And she graduated from
3:23
Speaker 1: college with a major in biology, so she would be
3:27
Speaker 1: able to determine whether the ingredients of the products that
3:31
Speaker 1: she's selling were good for you or not. So she
3:33
Speaker 1: put her skills to use, and that's who she is.
3:37
Speaker 1: Alex's sharky naked body was found on the side of
3:42
Speaker 1: a Houston road. And we have just unearthed a photo
3:47
Speaker 1: believed to be the last known image of Alexis and
3:51
Speaker 1: it shows her with a big smile on her face
3:54
Speaker 1: with friends. So how does she go from that photo
3:59
Speaker 1: to being on the side of the road, no visible
4:02
Speaker 1: sign of injury and naked. You know, I want to
4:06
Speaker 1: go through the timeline. Let's start at the beginning. So
4:09
Speaker 1: I know that on Thanksgiving Day, Levi, she was speaking
4:15
Speaker 1: or texting back and forth with her mother a lot.
4:17
Speaker 1: They were talking about their plans for Christmas. I also
4:21
Speaker 1: know that, according to her husband, forty nine year old
4:26
Speaker 1: Tom Sharkey, her maiden name is Alexis Robino. Tom Sharkey
4:33
Speaker 1: said he had a morning meal with her on Thanksgiving Day. Now,
4:41
Speaker 1: now just stop just a moment, right there. Hold on,
4:43
Speaker 1: you know, Ashley Willcott, you and I have just celebrated
4:46
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving with our families. I never thought of Thanksgiving breakfast.
4:52
Speaker 1: I'm the same. I noticed that little fact as well,
4:55
Speaker 1: because we don't do Thanksgiving breakfast simply because I guess
4:58
Speaker 1: we're cooking everything for huge meal. So it's kind of
5:01
Speaker 1: an interesting thing, isn't it. And those are the little details.
5:04
Speaker 1: I love you just mentioned that because in a case
5:06
Speaker 1: like this, you have to look at all of the details. Now,
5:11
Speaker 1: let's think about this. What does that mean she didn't
5:16
Speaker 1: have Thanksgiving lunch or dinner with anybody? Because as an influencer, right,
5:25
Speaker 1: you would think she would have Like this, beautiful Martha
5:29
Speaker 1: Stewart moment. I mean, think this through. You know, Jessica Morgan,
5:33
Speaker 1: I remember prosecuting a Jane Doe murder and I went
5:40
Speaker 1: over and over and over the scene of her what
5:44
Speaker 1: I believe to be at least a tertiary crime scene.
5:48
Speaker 1: And there was a one earring in a certain location,
5:55
Speaker 1: and based on that one earring and its location. I
5:59
Speaker 1: could do deuce so many things about what happened. So
6:06
Speaker 1: Joe Scott, just bear with me on this. An influencer
6:11
Speaker 1: that doesn't load up her social media with you know,
6:16
Speaker 1: the beautiful turkey. And you just heard Levi say she
6:18
Speaker 1: studied by out biology, majored in it, and she was
6:22
Speaker 1: very concerned about what would be good for the people
6:25
Speaker 1: that followed her. She had thousands of followers. I would
6:29
Speaker 1: think she would have like organic dressing and like a
6:33
Speaker 1: vegetarian meal or turkey cook some special way, and then
6:38
Speaker 1: we'd see this table with her standing there being all beautiful,
6:42
Speaker 1: which doesn't make take much because she's beautiful naturally, but
6:46
Speaker 1: that tells me something, Joe Scott. Yeah, and we have
6:51
Speaker 1: to we have to look at it through her lens.
6:53
Speaker 1: To Nancy. You know, she's I don't know, in her
6:57
Speaker 1: mid twenties, and those things might not hold the same
7:01
Speaker 1: importance to her as they do to us. A minute,
7:05
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Yeah, I agree with you. But at
7:09
Speaker 1: least if she's not gonna have the Thanksgiving turkey and
7:12
Speaker 1: all that, I would at least imagine her she makes
7:17
Speaker 1: her living on social media, at least having her and
7:21
Speaker 1: her friends or her and her husband out, you know,
7:24
Speaker 1: toasting a mimosa or I don't know what influencers do,
7:28
Speaker 1: but I do know this. They post about it all
7:29
Speaker 1: the time. I mean, and they you know what, you're
7:34
Speaker 1: a death investigator. Why am I talking to you? Excuse me,
7:37
Speaker 1: your honor. I've called the wrong witness, doctor Bethany Mark,
7:40
Speaker 1: no offense. Just got doctor Bethany Marshall. And is this
7:43
Speaker 1: making any sense of what I'm trying to say? Absolutely? Nancy,
7:47
Speaker 1: did you hear what she gets? It? Okay? I understanding
7:52
Speaker 1: saying it very well. I know that you explain, Mark, Bethany,
7:58
Speaker 1: can you explain what they're trying to say? Bethany did
8:01
Speaker 1: a lot of little details that are standing out to me.
8:04
Speaker 1: The biggest one, of course, is that she's an influencer,
8:07
Speaker 1: and as you said, she hasn't taken the opportunity to
8:11
Speaker 1: have this Martha Stewart moment to be beautiful, have her husband,
8:15
Speaker 1: her family gathered around, or her friends, even if she
8:18
Speaker 1: doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving, and who doesn't. All everybody in the
8:22
Speaker 1: twenties knows about Thanksgiving, you know, to at least have
8:26
Speaker 1: her home beautiful or the table beautiful, that's her husband's
8:30
Speaker 1: twenty three years older than her. I don't know. I
8:33
Speaker 1: can't get that one out of my mind. She's an influencer.
8:36
Speaker 1: They've only been married for a year. She's taken his
8:39
Speaker 1: last name. They got married December twenty nineteen. Ah, such
8:46
Speaker 1: a big okay. So and she's an influencer, but she
8:50
Speaker 1: took his name. So when you're an an influencer, you
8:55
Speaker 1: keep your maiden name, because that's how she built up
8:57
Speaker 1: her followers. And then the idea of the morning meal.
9:01
Speaker 1: Sometimes on Thanksgiving, my family will have a special little
9:04
Speaker 1: breakfast because you know, nephews and nieces and you know,
9:08
Speaker 1: relatives have come into town and you want to tide
9:11
Speaker 1: everybody over until the afternoon meal. But we don't call
9:14
Speaker 1: it a morning meal. It's like we had a quick
9:16
Speaker 1: time together or a quick you know what, doctor Bethany,
9:19
Speaker 1: I hear you. But on Thanksgiving when I'm in there
9:23
Speaker 1: with we had dueling turkeys this year. My husband did
9:25
Speaker 1: a green egg and I did it in the oven. Basically,
9:30
Speaker 1: tall the twins don't eat one bite because I want
9:33
Speaker 1: you to eat this turkey and dressing that I'm making. Okay,
9:36
Speaker 1: you can have one bite, because I'm always trying to
9:39
Speaker 1: get them to eat, but on Thanksgiving they gotta weight.
9:42
Speaker 1: Of course they didn't, by the way, for Thanksgiving, but
9:45
Speaker 1: it just it just it just struck me oddly that
9:50
Speaker 1: we didn't see the influencing going on on Thanksgiving Day
10:07
Speaker 1: time stories with Nancy Grace. Guys, we're talking about this
10:12
Speaker 1: gorgeous young social influencer. She had thousands and thousands of followers,
10:17
Speaker 1: and she's ended up dead on the side of the road,
10:20
Speaker 1: completely naked and no sign of visible injury. But she
10:26
Speaker 1: is dead, nonetheless. Another thing about why I want to
10:33
Speaker 1: know where she was at lunch and dinner is to
10:35
Speaker 1: help me set a timeline. Leavi page, What can you
10:42
Speaker 1: tell me about the timeline? Wasn't she supposed to meet
10:46
Speaker 1: up with some of her friend girls from movie Day?
10:49
Speaker 1: Didn't they go out to movies on a certain day?
10:52
Speaker 1: You're collit, Nancy. So Thanksgiving she spent Thanksgiving with friends? Well,
10:57
Speaker 1: how do you know that? That's what her friends are saying.
11:01
Speaker 1: So she was alive and well on Thanksgiving, Yeah, they
11:03
Speaker 1: said they last saw her at six pm Thanksgiving date, okay,
11:07
Speaker 1: and then on Black Friday, Black Friday, they got nervous,
11:12
Speaker 1: And we're a little suspicious because that's when influencers also
11:17
Speaker 1: they have Black Friday sales and they promote products on Instagram.
11:21
Speaker 1: I didn't even think that she had gone. She went
11:23
Speaker 1: completely silent on Instagram and they filed the police report. Okay,
11:27
Speaker 1: hold on, let me get my mind around this, because
11:30
Speaker 1: Ashley Willcott, it's your family tradition that you hit the
11:34
Speaker 1: malls or the boutiques with your daughter on Black Friday shopping.
11:41
Speaker 1: It's not anything that I enjoy at all. I'm bored
11:44
Speaker 1: out of my brain just trumping endlessly round and round
11:47
Speaker 1: a mall or a store looking for what what do
11:50
Speaker 1: I mean? I don't even know you and your daughter
11:53
Speaker 1: love it. I hopefully have brainwashed my daughter not to
11:56
Speaker 1: love it. But apparently I'm in the minority. Black Friday
11:59
Speaker 1: is huge, and you turn it into a fun day
12:03
Speaker 1: with your daughter. It's kind of like a scavenger hunt.
12:06
Speaker 1: I think. So He's right, Ashley, I didn't think of
12:11
Speaker 1: that for an influencer. Black Friday would be one of
12:14
Speaker 1: the biggest days of your year. Absolutely, So first of all,
12:17
Speaker 1: let me just suggest the reason it is. It is
12:20
Speaker 1: one of my favorite days, and I love it because
12:23
Speaker 1: the deals are so good. Honestly, we can wait and
12:26
Speaker 1: get clothes that she are trending, that are popular, that
12:30
Speaker 1: are the name Brahms and on a good prisis so
12:33
Speaker 1: it is our and maybe the only time of the
12:36
Speaker 1: year I buy her clothes, No kidding, But my point
12:39
Speaker 1: is I would think a twenty six year old influencer
12:42
Speaker 1: who dresses beautifully if you look, I'm not beautifully, it's
12:46
Speaker 1: the right word. She is immaculate in her appearance, right,
12:50
Speaker 1: And so the clothes she wears what I wear at
12:52
Speaker 1: my age, you know. But she always looks beautiful, and
12:56
Speaker 1: she wears the things that kids are going to want
13:00
Speaker 1: to where and are going to look at and say,
13:03
Speaker 1: I want to look like that. So to me, Black Friday,
13:06
Speaker 1: posting all of the good deals, showing everyone what the
13:10
Speaker 1: trends are would be a prime opportunity for a beautiful,
13:14
Speaker 1: well dressed influencer. So I was all hung up that
13:17
Speaker 1: I didn't see her posting on Thanksgiving. And then in
13:20
Speaker 1: my mind, the timeline went from Thanksgiving morning meal with
13:24
Speaker 1: husband too Black Friday, when she didn't meet up with
13:28
Speaker 1: her friends for the movie. Now, Leavi page, you're helping
13:32
Speaker 1: me to narrow down that timeline. She was alive and
13:35
Speaker 1: well at six and I believe that was when she
13:38
Speaker 1: was talking to her mom about what their Christmas plans
13:41
Speaker 1: were going to be. Now, what time was the movie
13:45
Speaker 1: meet up leave my page that she missed. I'm not
13:48
Speaker 1: positive about the exact time, Nancy, but her friends have
13:52
Speaker 1: said that she stopped responding to their text messages around
13:56
Speaker 1: six pm on Friday. And her husband also says that
14:01
Speaker 1: Friday is the last time that he saw her alive
14:04
Speaker 1: as well. Now tell me what the forty nine year
14:08
Speaker 1: old husband, Tom Sharkey says about the last time he
14:12
Speaker 1: saw his wife. So he said that he last saw
14:16
Speaker 1: his wife. He doesn't give an exact timeframe, what time
14:20
Speaker 1: of day it was, And he says that they had
14:24
Speaker 1: a disagreement and she left, and she left without her vehicle.
14:29
Speaker 1: What she left? What was she gonna walk? That? That
14:32
Speaker 1: is what he's claiming. He said that she'd been drinking
14:35
Speaker 1: and he told her not to drive because she's been drinking.
14:38
Speaker 1: This is according to him. We don't know that for
14:41
Speaker 1: a fact, but that's what he says. Okay, um leavi page.
14:45
Speaker 1: How could she go anywhere in that area is Houston
14:49
Speaker 1: right without her car? Yes, you're correct, Nancy, you need
14:52
Speaker 1: a car. To get around there, and she apparently did
14:56
Speaker 1: not leave in her car. Did not leave within her car.
15:00
Speaker 1: All right, guys, take a listen to this. We know
15:03
Speaker 1: homicide detectives. They're looking at surveillance video of cars going
15:07
Speaker 1: up and down this road near I ten. They're trying
15:11
Speaker 1: to figure out how body ended up in this brush. Now,
15:14
Speaker 1: it was Saturday morning when a garbage truck driver he
15:18
Speaker 1: noticed feet coming up from the bushes. He called this
15:21
Speaker 1: into nine one one. You know, clearly the way she
15:24
Speaker 1: disposed was disposed tells us a lot. Her body then
15:29
Speaker 1: is spotted on Saturday morning. So, Joe Scott way In,
15:34
Speaker 1: you're the death investigator, what does this tell you? Well,
15:38
Speaker 1: listen to what this guy just said Nancy and the report.
15:41
Speaker 1: He's very specific. He says that the garbage truck employee
15:46
Speaker 1: looked over in self, feet sticking up, so he's in
15:49
Speaker 1: an observable position that has a clear point of view. Remember,
15:54
Speaker 1: these trucks are up high. He can see. But the
15:56
Speaker 1: one thing I can tell you about this case and
15:59
Speaker 1: about this body is it would appear that no one,
16:02
Speaker 1: and I mean no one, made any effort to conceal her.
16:06
Speaker 1: You know, you're on a thoroughfare here, Nancy. So essentially
16:09
Speaker 1: all you have to do is you don't even have
16:11
Speaker 1: to come to a complete stop. You can have somebody
16:14
Speaker 1: in the front seat with you and you can just
16:15
Speaker 1: push them off and they're gonna be in that exact
16:18
Speaker 1: position potentially, Or you can feign having a car malfunction
16:23
Speaker 1: or something and just kind of quietly take a body out,
16:27
Speaker 1: throw the body on the side of the road, and
16:29
Speaker 1: then just drive away. They're on the itin corridor, Nancy.
16:32
Speaker 1: It's one of the busiest corridors in the United States.
16:34
Speaker 1: It's on the internet, on the interstate system. Nobody's gonna
16:38
Speaker 1: I mean, how many times do you actually pay attention
16:40
Speaker 1: to anybody when you're driving seventy five miles per hour
16:44
Speaker 1: down the interstate. Do you actually watch and see what
16:47
Speaker 1: they're doing on the side of the road. No, You're
16:49
Speaker 1: about your business. So in one way, the body's kind
16:52
Speaker 1: of hiding in plain sight. Well put, here she is
16:56
Speaker 1: completely naked, no visible sign of injury, yet she's dead
17:00
Speaker 1: on the side of the road. Now I'm still working
17:04
Speaker 1: on the timeline. You were just hearing Steve Campion at
17:07
Speaker 1: kat RK TV earlier a KHOUTV eleven Houston. But now
17:13
Speaker 1: take and listen to the Houston, Texas Police spokesperson. Okay,
17:19
Speaker 1: so officers were dispatched to a found cs female of
17:23
Speaker 1: the one thousand block of Redhawk. This was at around
17:26
Speaker 1: eight eight o'clock this morning. So it's a new female
17:30
Speaker 1: and that's all we have. We don't have any information
17:32
Speaker 1: on her yet, so if anybody knows her, give us
17:35
Speaker 1: a call. At this point, Augun was a white female,
17:38
Speaker 1: early twenties, and right now the medical seminars is working
17:43
Speaker 1: on getting an id on her. I'm also understanding that
17:45
Speaker 1: it was a side road, that it was actually off
17:49
Speaker 1: the interstate, a side road off the interstate, because it's
17:54
Speaker 1: very doubtful that a garbage collectors collecting garbage off the interstate.
17:59
Speaker 1: So this this is a side road near that I
18:02
Speaker 1: ten corridor. Then you've got the whole problem with the rain,
18:08
Speaker 1: which changes the scene. Take a listen again to the
18:13
Speaker 1: Houston spokesperson who fired. Uh, it was a City of
18:17
Speaker 1: Houston public service. They were driving by and they saw
18:21
Speaker 1: the feet of female in the bushes. Wire back fighting shooting.
18:30
Speaker 1: No shoe is naked on the road. We're not on
18:33
Speaker 1: the road, but on the side of the road. Tide up. No, no, sir,
18:38
Speaker 1: no abyssible injury said this point. So medical Examblers is
18:41
Speaker 1: going to be doing to follow up on that time
18:56
Speaker 1: stories with Nancy Grace shooting in a shoe to make
19:00
Speaker 1: it on the road. We're not on the road, but
19:03
Speaker 1: on the side of the road. No disimal injuries on
19:10
Speaker 1: Medical Examba is going to be doing fallow up on
19:12
Speaker 1: that not tied up. No visible injuries. So question what
19:18
Speaker 1: happened to alexis sharky. You know you can hear the
19:23
Speaker 1: rain distortion in that sound. To Joseph skuy Morgan, how
19:27
Speaker 1: will nearly torrential rain affect the scene, Well, let's let's
19:32
Speaker 1: think about the central theme of the scene, and that
19:36
Speaker 1: is the remain So if you have any kind of
19:38
Speaker 1: trace evidence that is on the surface of the body,
19:41
Speaker 1: keep in mind, Nancy, according to what they're saying, we're
19:45
Speaker 1: absent any kind of clothing. This is a nude body,
19:48
Speaker 1: so we don't have the opportunity to even have the
19:52
Speaker 1: shelter or protection of clothing. We're not going to have
19:55
Speaker 1: any kind of trace evidence on clothing. So therefore the body,
19:58
Speaker 1: the bare body, is going to to be exposed to
20:02
Speaker 1: all of the elements, any fibers that are there, potentially
20:04
Speaker 1: any blood. Hey, Nancy, we've got a nude female. There
20:08
Speaker 1: might be a semen that was left behind that is
20:11
Speaker 1: at risk of leaving the body as well. Now, the
20:15
Speaker 1: one upside with this that I can say is that
20:19
Speaker 1: since we have rain, there is a high probability that
20:23
Speaker 1: maybe the soil was dry prior to the rain. We
20:26
Speaker 1: might be able to collect, say, for instance, impressions left
20:30
Speaker 1: by tires and also by feet that are at the scene,
20:33
Speaker 1: whereas before if it had been dry, that might not
20:36
Speaker 1: have been accomplished. So there's good and bad with this,
20:39
Speaker 1: But we have to keep in mind that evidence has
20:42
Speaker 1: the potential to be lost. It is very fragile. It's
20:44
Speaker 1: washed away. Unless under your original scenario, jose Scott Morgan,
20:49
Speaker 1: she was pushed from the car because her feet were closest,
20:54
Speaker 1: because the feet were sticking out of the bushes, and
20:57
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that they were closest to the road. Her
21:00
Speaker 1: head was further away, as if she had just been
21:03
Speaker 1: shoved out of a car, which would preclude tire or
21:06
Speaker 1: she marks. But we'll see. Now we're hearing about video cameras.
21:11
Speaker 1: Listen about any wives instead when anybody help the surveillanceing.
21:17
Speaker 1: We are working on surveillance at this moment. There's one
21:20
Speaker 1: business that it does have some things. We haven't looked
21:25
Speaker 1: at it yet and we're still gathering information, gathering video.
21:30
Speaker 1: How long it hasn't mean it's too long, so we're
21:33
Speaker 1: thinking overnight. You know, I want to talk about potential
21:37
Speaker 1: video surveillance LEAVI page. What is he talking about? So
21:41
Speaker 1: there's a cosmetic store that's located on me Boreal West
21:47
Speaker 1: Road and it faces the roadway where the body was discovered,
21:53
Speaker 1: and police have seized surveillance footage and are reviewing that
21:58
Speaker 1: footage to see if they can get any clues from it.
22:02
Speaker 1: Is it close enough to see where her body was?
22:05
Speaker 1: I am not positive. I know that it's yards away.
22:08
Speaker 1: I think it would probably be depending on the camera,
22:10
Speaker 1: and that it was facing the road. You know. To
22:13
Speaker 1: doctor Bethany Marshall, psychoanalyst joining us from LA and you
22:16
Speaker 1: can find her at doctor Bethany Marshall dot com. Bethany,
22:21
Speaker 1: the fact that she was it sounds like pushed out
22:25
Speaker 1: of a car unceremoniously and naked tells me a lot
22:33
Speaker 1: as a psychoanalyst. What does it tell you was any
22:36
Speaker 1: evidence on the clothing why the person would need to
22:41
Speaker 1: take off her clothing. I was also wondering about a
22:43
Speaker 1: sex attack, Nancy. I know it's terrible to go backwards
22:47
Speaker 1: in a story, but something is sticking in my mind.
22:50
Speaker 1: I cannot get it out of my mind. That is
22:53
Speaker 1: that her husband, the husband who's twenty three years older
22:56
Speaker 1: than her, says that he wouldn't let her drive the
22:59
Speaker 1: car are because she had been drinking. If she was drinking,
23:05
Speaker 1: that would of course make her very vulnerable. On the
23:07
Speaker 1: other hand, you know the saying don't speak ill of
23:11
Speaker 1: the dead when a spouse whose partner has gone missing
23:18
Speaker 1: already starts to devalue that spouse, Oh, she was drunk.
23:22
Speaker 1: I wouldn't let her get in the car. You know
23:24
Speaker 1: she took off on foot. Why devalue or make devaluing
23:30
Speaker 1: inflammatory statements about a partner who's gone missing? That behavioral
23:36
Speaker 1: of evidence is so important to me. I would want
23:38
Speaker 1: to know more about the state of mind of a
23:40
Speaker 1: husband and the state of the marriage. Back to you,
23:45
Speaker 1: I want to go back to the timeline leave page.
23:51
Speaker 1: So Thanksgiving came in past and she spent that with
23:57
Speaker 1: her friends, not her husband. Is that correct, You are correct.
24:03
Speaker 1: And then the day after Thanksgiving, her husband said that
24:06
Speaker 1: she was at the apartment and she left. But there
24:09
Speaker 1: is a text message that one of her friend's boyfriends
24:14
Speaker 1: got from her husband and it said, this is Chelsea Turnbow,
24:21
Speaker 1: her friend. She told Fox twenty six in Houston, Tom,
24:26
Speaker 1: which is her husband, texted my boyfriend at eleven pm
24:29
Speaker 1: Friday night and told him me and Lex got into
24:35
Speaker 1: an argument and she left. I don't know where she went.
24:39
Speaker 1: Can you please just let me know if you know anything,
24:42
Speaker 1: leave a page. I want to circle back to what
24:44
Speaker 1: you said about the timeline. That's what I was asking about.
24:50
Speaker 1: When does a husband say he saw her last Friday
24:54
Speaker 1: night and he doesn't give a specific time Friday night
24:57
Speaker 1: when you last saw her, When does he? Weird? Jump
25:01
Speaker 1: in Nancy, I'm so sorry, that's weird. I'm sorry you
25:05
Speaker 1: don't know a specific time that you lost last saw
25:09
Speaker 1: your spouse. Typically, in my appearance, you can find you
25:13
Speaker 1: can figure that out. Whether it's because something was on
25:16
Speaker 1: your phone, they message you, they tweeted, whatever it is,
25:18
Speaker 1: it's your spouse, you live with them, you live in
25:21
Speaker 1: the same home. I automatically, as a judge, would think, wait,
25:25
Speaker 1: a minute, Why can't they say what time they lost
25:28
Speaker 1: saw their spouse? Time stories with Nancy Grace. You guys,
25:56
Speaker 1: we were talking about the death, the mysterious death of
25:59
Speaker 1: Alex's Sharky, and I'm trying to nail down this timeline.
26:03
Speaker 1: So on Saturday, what if any communication LEVI was had
26:10
Speaker 1: with Alexas Sharkey. No, and she had stopped responding to
26:14
Speaker 1: text messages Friday around six pm. Okay, when the husband
26:20
Speaker 1: contacts the girlfriend's husband or boyfriend, what time is that
26:27
Speaker 1: on Friday night? Eleven pm? So at eleven pm he
26:31
Speaker 1: says she left. Okay, Then he says, I don't know
26:34
Speaker 1: where she is. Can you just please let me know
26:36
Speaker 1: if you know anything. Guys, take a listen to our
26:38
Speaker 1: friends at KTRK. She was literally a ray of sunshine
26:44
Speaker 1: from the beginning. At twenty six years young, Alexas Sharkey
26:47
Speaker 1: lost her life. Her mother, Stacy Robinalt, who lives out
26:51
Speaker 1: of state in Pennsylvania, said her daughter went missing Friday night. Today,
26:56
Speaker 1: Houston police identified the woman found dead and naked on
26:59
Speaker 1: Saturday morning on red Haw Street as Alexis Sharkey. Over
27:04
Speaker 1: the weekend, they said there weren't obvious injuries, no obvious injuries.
27:10
Speaker 1: How can you be dead on the side of the
27:12
Speaker 1: road and make it and have no obvious injuries? You
27:16
Speaker 1: were just hearing our friends Steve Campion, who's been on
27:19
Speaker 1: the case from the very very beginning, to Joe Scott Morgan.
27:23
Speaker 1: That may puzzle many many people. The reality is there
27:26
Speaker 1: are many modes of death that do not leave visible injuries. Yeah, yeah,
27:31
Speaker 1: there certainly are. Let's say you've got somebody that is
27:36
Speaker 1: that has been drugged, for instance, some money that's been
27:39
Speaker 1: injected with something, somebody that has been given a drink
27:42
Speaker 1: that's laced with something. You're not going to see obvious
27:45
Speaker 1: signs of trauma. I think for our timeline though, Nancy,
27:49
Speaker 1: One are the really critical things here. One of the
27:51
Speaker 1: things that we really have to look to is the science.
27:55
Speaker 1: At what level or what degree were the changes of
28:00
Speaker 1: death taking place in this body? You know, because that
28:03
Speaker 1: can help us with the PMI, which is the postmortem
28:06
Speaker 1: interval level of riger mortis, the level of algor mortis okay,
28:11
Speaker 1: which is the body temperature changes, and the postmortem lavidity,
28:15
Speaker 1: which is settling in a blood. But there's one more
28:17
Speaker 1: thing here, Nancy, that's a real nugget that we have
28:20
Speaker 1: to explore. I'm very curious, particularly since they have not
28:23
Speaker 1: released a cause of death yet. I'm really curious as
28:27
Speaker 1: to know what were her stomach contents. I'd like to
28:29
Speaker 1: know what she had on board. This can also give
28:32
Speaker 1: us an indication of time because it takes dependent upon
28:36
Speaker 1: the type of meal the individual eats and their level
28:39
Speaker 1: of health, it generally takes about two to four hours
28:43
Speaker 1: for the stomach to actually empty into the small intestine.
28:46
Speaker 1: So we know that if she in fact had food
28:49
Speaker 1: on board that was in her tummy, okay, in her
28:52
Speaker 1: stomach and it's still there when they conduct this, we
28:56
Speaker 1: know that she will have died within two to four
28:59
Speaker 1: hours at having it last ingested a meal. So that's
29:02
Speaker 1: going to be a real big piece of this. You know,
29:05
Speaker 1: I'm very curious about the contents of her stomach as well,
29:07
Speaker 1: and you're telling me it would take two to four
29:10
Speaker 1: hours for the food to be digested, well for the
29:13
Speaker 1: food to literally pass from the stomach into the small intestine,
29:18
Speaker 1: so that kind of freezes freezes that in time now
29:22
Speaker 1: for it to pass all the way from the small
29:24
Speaker 1: intestine to the large intestine. It's gonna you're looking at
29:28
Speaker 1: about maybe a six hour window, and of course depended
29:31
Speaker 1: upon the person's health, the type of food that they eat,
29:34
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. These things are kind of variable,
29:37
Speaker 1: so there are no hard static markers, but there are
29:40
Speaker 1: things that we look for at the morgue. You know,
29:42
Speaker 1: all that is incredibly interesting, Josco Morgan, Can I just
29:46
Speaker 1: break it down to a more common and fundamentally easy
29:49
Speaker 1: to understand aspect. I guarantee you when she stopped responding
29:54
Speaker 1: to texts. She's a social media influencer. She's constantly online.
30:02
Speaker 1: That's what you do as a social media influencer. When
30:05
Speaker 1: she stopped responding to text she was dead or unconscious
30:09
Speaker 1: or on her way to being dead. I think that's
30:12
Speaker 1: a fair to say. What do you make of that?
30:14
Speaker 1: Asked Willcott Apps. Absolutely, I think that's a fair thing
30:18
Speaker 1: to say, and you know, keep it's in mind, Nancy.
30:22
Speaker 1: Here's the thing I have to say. You always start
30:24
Speaker 1: with the people that know someone when they're found dead, right,
30:28
Speaker 1: But as an influencer, think about how many people know
30:34
Speaker 1: her or think they know her because of everything she
30:37
Speaker 1: posts that she doesn't know and has no idea who
30:41
Speaker 1: they are, So all the sudden you've got a body
30:45
Speaker 1: with no marks, no bruises, no visible injuries by all reports,
30:49
Speaker 1: and you've got an ever never ending, rather group of
30:55
Speaker 1: people who are watching everything she does because she is
30:59
Speaker 1: posting all That phone is her right arm. And there
31:04
Speaker 1: is such a thing as routine evidence. And by that
31:08
Speaker 1: I don't mean standard evidence, I mean evidence of your routine.
31:13
Speaker 1: For instance, this morning, I saw my daughter Lucy had
31:18
Speaker 1: left her cell phone in the kitchen on the kitchen island.
31:22
Speaker 1: That never happens. Never would she leave that behind. They're
31:25
Speaker 1: not allowed to have it on at school. If they
31:28
Speaker 1: catch you using it at school, it's taken away and
31:30
Speaker 1: put in a box of the principal's office, like as
31:33
Speaker 1: being buried in a casket. So they don't even use
31:36
Speaker 1: at school. But I guess she just wants to know
31:38
Speaker 1: at center backpack. So that was very unusual. It's not
31:42
Speaker 1: her routine. I guarantee you it's not Alexis Sharkey's routine
31:47
Speaker 1: not to respond to social media. I want you to
31:50
Speaker 1: take another listen to Steve Campion at Katie RK and
31:55
Speaker 1: let me remind everyone the husband in this case, forty
31:59
Speaker 1: nine year old Tom's Sharkey, has declared his innocence. He
32:03
Speaker 1: stated he's getting death threats because of this and that
32:06
Speaker 1: he had nothing to do with his wife's disappearance or death.
32:09
Speaker 1: Listen to this. There's two tales emerging this afternoon about
32:13
Speaker 1: Alexis and Tom Sharkey's marriage. Friends who said it was
32:17
Speaker 1: on the rocks. Her husband who called it strong, telling
32:21
Speaker 1: me Alexis was his life partner and they were not
32:24
Speaker 1: filing for divorce. We've learned the nature of that marriage
32:28
Speaker 1: is now part of hbd's investigation. Detectives working to learn
32:32
Speaker 1: the truth. You know, I want to go back to
32:34
Speaker 1: movie night. I'm hung up on these minor details. Leavi page.
32:40
Speaker 1: It was the friends that I think reported her missing
32:46
Speaker 1: when she didn't show up from movies. They went to
32:50
Speaker 1: her apartment, banged on the door and nobody came. Who
32:54
Speaker 1: exactly called nine one one her friends. We don't know
32:57
Speaker 1: which friends, but we know that it was friends that
33:00
Speaker 1: reporter or missing, not her husband. Do we have an
33:03
Speaker 1: idea of the time of that nine on one call.
33:06
Speaker 1: We know that they became suspicious after six pm when
33:10
Speaker 1: she quit answering her text messages, so it was in
33:13
Speaker 1: the evening or at night. According to Steve Campion, KTRKTV thirteen.
33:18
Speaker 1: There were two very different images of their marriage. You know,
33:23
Speaker 1: a bad marriage does not a murderer make. Let's focus
33:29
Speaker 1: on the hard forensics, and I'm talking about that video.
33:32
Speaker 1: Take a listen to Ivory Hecker with Fox twenty six.
33:35
Speaker 1: That's her villance video that police had obtained from the
33:38
Speaker 1: one business that was on that road. Well, her body
33:40
Speaker 1: was dumped right off the interstate. Who was actually a
33:43
Speaker 1: pretty secluded area off the interstate, this small narrow road
33:48
Speaker 1: with only one business on it, mostly fields there, but
33:51
Speaker 1: the business was a beauty salon. They had a camera
33:54
Speaker 1: facing the roadway. I'm told by people close to this
33:57
Speaker 1: case that there was a car spotted on that surveillance video.
34:02
Speaker 1: So now it's going to be the question of who
34:06
Speaker 1: was in that car that was just right nearby the
34:10
Speaker 1: ditch where Alexis Sharkey's body was found Saturday morning. Straight
34:16
Speaker 1: back to doctor Bethany Marshall, you would think it would
34:20
Speaker 1: be as easy as determining who was driving that car.
34:25
Speaker 1: But how many times have we seen surveillance video not
34:28
Speaker 1: pan out? Again, the husband is insisting her friends had
34:34
Speaker 1: the wrong image of their marriage. What do you make
34:36
Speaker 1: of it? And he is insisting he's innocent. Well, I
34:39
Speaker 1: always think it's suspicious when one member of a marriage
34:43
Speaker 1: insists that things are going perfectly fine and the other
34:47
Speaker 1: person is confessing to their friends that they're unhappy. It's
34:51
Speaker 1: one thing if a couple presents in marital therapy and
34:55
Speaker 1: the marriage is meeting one partner's needs but the other
34:58
Speaker 1: one has grown unhappy, that's not unusual. But the fact
35:01
Speaker 1: that this influencer was beginning to tell her friends that
35:06
Speaker 1: she was unhappy, that speaks to a growing divide in
35:09
Speaker 1: the marriage. And that really speaks to perhaps a personality
35:13
Speaker 1: disorder on the husband's part, because with personality disorders, people
35:19
Speaker 1: you know, engage in fixed, rigid, maladaptive behaviors that are
35:24
Speaker 1: stable over time. Even when their thousands are complaining, they
35:27
Speaker 1: refuse to change again. The husband in this case, Tomas Sharkey,
35:32
Speaker 1: says he's been getting death threats and that he is innocent,
35:36
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with his wife's death and disappearance.
35:39
Speaker 1: We wait for that cause of death. Nancy Grace Crime
35:43
Speaker 1: Story signing off Goodbye friend.
