It was a poorly lit industrial area. Especially at night, you know, December, around 5.30, 6 o'clock, it's getting dark. There's junk back there. People throw their garbage. There's some vegetation back there. It's in between two industrial buildings. Nobody's looking back there for bodies. But, you know, he notices something a little to his right. And he realizes this is a decomposing body.
And when he's done going to the bathroom, he gets back in the car. And I believe initially he didn't go to the police. I believe he went home first and told someone. And then they went to the lobby of the police department and told him, hey, there may be a body located in the alleyway just north of Central Avenue on 12th Street.
She's bound behind her back with a red dress that was torn apart and it was used to bind her as well as wrapped around her neck to possibly strangle her. You can see the ligature around her neck and her arms that are bound. Looked like she had bindings on her ankles, but over the course of days, they somehow came apart or they were never put on that tightly.
And then they also went to check the rooftops, and they found she had a pair of beige slides, slippers, and they were actually found on the roof of this building. You just check to see if any evidence was thrown. Maybe a knife was, maybe a weapon was thrown over there. So you got to do your due diligence and you check the whole entire area.
Detectives go down to the area where all the drug dealers and drug users hang out or reside. So they get some information that there was a party. And during this party, these were the five or six individuals that were present. Sharon was one of them. Girls were expected to exchange sexual favors for crack cocaine, which was very popular at the time.
And two of the people that were present were Arthur Neesmith and Robert Ruscha. And we had at least two people, females that were present there, who stated that Sharon went into a room with those two subjects. You had people there who were in this apartment who all had criminal histories. So everyone pretty much at the party has given a statement with the exception of those two guys.
And even to this day, you know, when we tried to interview them, Rache just gets angry and shouts, he had nothing to do with it. And Neesmith says, I have an attorney, I'm not making any statements.
They asked him to drive his vehicle to the back of 9B, and that's where they assumed Sharon was placed through the window into the backseat of the car, and that was the last time that she was seen by any of the people present there at the party.
They would have looked for hairs, any type of blood, any type of evidence indicates a violent act occurred in the rear of that vehicle. Because at the time, nobody was scouring for DNA. You would just look for the presence of blood, hairs, things of that nature, and there was nothing recovered of evidentiary value from that vehicle.
He was very sick. I don't know whether it was through genetics or drug abuse. Both. Don't know. But he lived there. A lot of people lived there. Robert Ruscha was also a tenant there. John is hospitalized shortly afterwards. And he's on his deathbed, for lack of a better term. And he wants to provide one of our detectives a complete deathbed confession about what took place there.
And by the time our detective got to the hospital, he had passed.
Detective Vargas was contacted at his residence to respond to the Naples Community Hospital concerning Robert Ruscha. He requested to speak with the detective to make statements about the murder. He said, I need to speak with Victor. Tell him I can solve the murder case for him. Well, so the detective gets dressed and drives down there.
And he goes, I was advised that Ruscha had been smoking crack cocaine. And when I entered the emergency room, he was in tears, relaying that he needed to talk with me.
She goes, he'll talk to me. He'll talk to me about anything. So she meets with the vice narcotics guys. They get her out of jail, and they wire her up, getting a drug deal going down. And she's going to go there, and she no-shows. So they then, like, hey, you're out. We got you out of jail right now, so we're responsible for you. So then, like, a couple weeks go by.
She finally said, okay, okay, we can do the deal. I told him what I need. He's going to go get the drugs, and then he's going to go back to his apartment. So they got her all wired up, and our detectives at the time, the narcotics guys who were orchestrating this whole thing, they got their cover blown. She goes to the house and is like, okay, yeah, where's the thing?
And he gives her her $100 back and says, get the f*** out of my apartment.
At about 10.45, 10.50, Carol's mom was coming back from church and she had to drop off a dress that she wanted her daughter to bleach or do something with. And she drove to her daughter's condo and she noticed that her daughter's car was not there.
So she had keys to the condo, and when she went, there were some pamphlets that had been shoved in the door, in the wedge of the door, and she made her way in. And when she went in, she saw the living room looked like it was in disarray, and then she saw her daughter, obviously deceased with multiple stab wounds, blood everywhere, and
mortally wounded, laying on the floor, partially in the kitchen part in the living room. She's laying, a portion of her was just outside of the kitchen area. There were three knives missing from the butcher block. Two of those knives were laying on the kitchen counter. The third knife, the biggest one, was laying across her chest and neck. And that was ultimately proved to be the murder weapon.
So there was also a pillow that was found and detectives theorized that that may have been used to muffle her from screaming in agony from all the stab wounds, which I think we believe were about between 13 to 15 stab wounds. When she was taken to the medical examiner's office, they were right in that range. Obviously, there was a significant one to her neck.
