So with this context in mind, police also were hearing rumors that Sharon was known to use drugs with her clients and then set them up to be robbed.

We know that Sharon was using cocaine at the time of her death. So had an attempted robbery gone sideways? I mean, is it possible that that particular country road was a place that Sharon took her marks? Or potentially Sharon's client was local to this area and he chose this spot because it was off the beaten path, far outside of city limits.

As their list of suspects grew, Charles, the soon-to-be ex, Harold, the ex who scrapped his car, and McCray, detectives knew that they had one solid way to narrow things down, that DNA profile on Sharon's clothing. One by one, the men were tested, and by the end of 1993, each had been ruled out. But there was one other person that police had yet to look into.

That's right. Detective Jackson has a prime suspect. As of 2012, the suspect is deceased, and Detective Jackson was a little hesitant to talk more about him. But he eventually agreed to release this new information to our reporters Jennifer Amell and Emily Enfinger.

Though it took a little prodding, here's what Detective Jackson revealed to us. A week or so after Sharon's murder, a witness came forward and told police that he saw a local man doing some fishy stuff around his mobile home. We're going to call this guy Bobby. Now, we've confirmed his real identity, but Detective Jackson asked us to withhold it.

He also asked us not to share exactly what it was that Bobby was seen doing. So that happens, and then a short while after Sharon's murder, Bobby's trailer caught on fire. This is sometime between November 1993 and January 1994. Now, this didn't give investigators much to work with, but it did give them a name.

Our reporters tried to find documentation of this fire, but the Caddo Parish Fire Marshal said that they wouldn't have records of a fire from that far back. Detective Jackson said that he didn't think the fire was even reported, but he knows it happened based on a supplemental report in Sharon's case file.

Now, Bobby's mobile home was out in the rural country, so it's possible that he just waited for the fire to extinguish itself and then, like, hoped it didn't catch the nearby oaks. Now, we found out Bobby had a criminal record. He was charged with aggravated assault with a weapon and battery 10 months before Sharon's murder, and he served time in jail.
