Sharon's Abduction in Melbourne Is a Homicide

John willis fronted a press conference where he said he was grateful for the return of sharon, but would never be able to forgive the man responsible. Police performed regular surveillance and patrols of their house to ensure this didn't happen. The victorian state government announced a 100 thousand dollar reward for information on sharan's abduction. It's believed this was the first ever reward offered in an abduction case in the state's history. Within days, they revealed it was possible sharon's attack could be linked to as many as eight previous unsolved attacks across melbourne in the last ten years. Two teams of detectives were put on the case.
