Found Deceased TX - Alexis Sharkey, 26, Houston, 27 Nov 2020

[steeltowngirl]

I was about to suggest either rigor or lividity for sure.
It's usually a really good marker for the timeline.

In the video in this article the investigator says the body appeared to be there overnight. He’s also getting soaked by heavy rain.

Alexis Sharkey: What we know happened before Houston influencer's death

 

[websleuther2020]

• Here is Desiree saying she was with Tanya... sorry I didn't get every link in the timeline. SO MANY!

Friends of influencer Alexis Sharkey say they have vital information for cops

"After we hadn't heard anything from her on Saturday, we were worried so Tanya and I went to their apartment at about 12:30 [noon] ," Desiree said

"They had a ring doorbell, but nobody answered.

"We sat outside and waited for hours."

• Also in looking for this link, I realized a video describes the friends missing person report as being Saturday afternoon but shows it was time stamped at 19:32 (7:32 pm). attaching screenshot and link to that fyi.

• The video also shows Tanya's texts with AS - the final conversation started at 5:40pm Friday (unclear when it finished)... it indicates that AS asked if T was going out Friday night and T said she was staying in because it was her mom's last night in town for the holiday. attaching screenshots.

I just find it interesting that Tanya’s statement does not include her and only says “I” not “we” like Desiree’s. Why withhold that?

I find that whole interview with her interesting and strange tbh

Has anybody found any interviews with her friends back home in Pennsylvania?

I am looking for friends from PA interviews. This article is local and gives more detail about Alexis, beyond the social media aspect of her.

In Warren County, she will be remembered as someone that was a hard worker, involved, driven, and fun.

“She is someone that is a lot of fun to be around,” Robinault said. “Everybody keeps saying the same things… ‘She was so much fun. She made everything so much fun.'”

“She was extremely active in high school athletics and National Honor Society,” Robinault said.

She graduated third in her class at Youngsville High School in 2012. Her analytical, logical, and reasoning mind helped her be accepted into the pharmacy program at Duquesne. But, it also made her see the financial benefits of staying closer to home.

She decided to attend the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford and, in 2016, graduated summa *advertiser censored* laude with a degree in biology.

“In college, she was inducted into Pitt’s Top 2 percent every year,”Robinault said. “She was a really strong student and really driven.”

Yes she went to Pitt-Brad which is like 40 minutes from me. A lot of people in my area go to Pitt Brad because it's close and offers a good medical program and stuff. In fact my moms friend's grand daughter was roommates with this girl.

I did a mini timeline Monday. updating below. feel free to edit or update. I have to run. I haven't had a chance to see the full mom interview yet (so nothing in that below) but totally agree with yall based on the short version that she seems like a great mom and great interview.

Timeline:

WEDNESDAY Spoke to mother Wednesday about Xmas plans

THURSDAY Last seen by other than spouse (that we know of).

• Spent Thanksgiving at friend Tanya R’s with others there too (per Tanya interview and photo media published reportedly taken Thursday which is the last photo of AS that Tanya knows of). Implied is that AS left Thursday night. No mention of AS spending the night or of friends seeing her anytime after Thanksgiving.
• “Tanya said Alexis spent Thanksgiving at her house and they made plans to watch movies with other friends all day on Saturday. The last time they spoke was around 6 p.m. Friday.” 'She was always happy' | Alexis Sharkey remembered by friends | khou.com
• Mom texted with AS

FRIDAY Unknown time - Co-workers notice she is not posting on Black Friday

• “None of us saw her posting on Friday. That was the biggest thing, because it was Black Friday for work, and we had all of these sales going on and she always posted about work.” Surveillance video could give clues on how influencer’s body ended up in Houston ditch

FRIDAY 6pm- Stopped responding to messages from friends

• “Sharkey’s friends said they became worried when she stopped responding to messages around 6 p.m. on Friday. Hours later, they filed a police report and contacted her parents.” ‘Incredible Loss’: Instagram Influencer Found Dead Along Houston Road

FRIDAY Unknown time - Last seen at apartment complex by TS

• "Alexis Sharkey was last seen the day after Thanksgiving at her apartment complex."
• Sharkey said when he last saw his wife, he warned her not to drive.
  "She understood me. I understood her. We didn't fight when she left. I just told her she couldn't drive under the influence," said Sharkey. "She left anyhow. This is where we're at." Husband of Houston Instagram influencer says he's receiving death threats

FRIDAY Unknown time before 11pm - TS texts John

FRIDAY 11 PM - John calls TS and reports that TS said AS left after argument and he doesn't know where she went (per CT)

• “Tom, which is her husband, texted my boyfriend,” said Turnbow. “11 p.m. is when my boyfriend John called Tom and said, What’s going on, Tom? And he said, 'Me and Lex got into an argument, and she left. I don’t know where she went. Can you just please let me know if you know anything.'” Surveillance video could give clues on how influencer’s body ended up in Houston ditch

SATURDAY 8:30 AM- AS body found naked in bush by public works worker.
SATURDAY ALL DAY - was supposed to watch movies all day with friends including Tanya. Missed plans. No responses to calls/ texts. Friends group text and no one has heard from AS.
SATURDAY 12:30PM - Tanya and Desiree go to apartment. No one answered door at apt. They wait outside her apt for "hours".
SATURDAY Unknown time before 9 pm - TS and Tanya both contact the parents of AS about missing status and the friends file a missing person's report with police.

• "A police report has been filed by her friends, and her husband has been notified."
  UPDATE: Body of 26-year-old woman found in Houston, family says
• also from this early article:
  
• "Sharkey was last in contact with her friends at 6 p.m., and no one has heard from her since, according to her mother. .... Her mother said there was an argument and she left and didn’t take her car."

That’s awesome.

Hmm. If she only texted on Friday, maybe she wasn’t texting at all?

Also there was a post last night that celebration of life event was cancelled due to changing circumstances. All of her friends profiles were still up last night but looks like one group has all gone private. It all seems odd.

Wonder why it was cancelled?

Friends of Alexis Sharkey say they’re rescheduling her celebration of life. It will not be tomorrow at Buffalo Bayou Park. They asked me to share that information. They’ll pass along new plans when they’re able to. Thinking of all those close to Lex who say they’re fighting for justice. We’ll continue to follow her story. -Steve

She did say that, yes.
Alexis' mom said it was Alexis' husband that called her.

Hmm. The plot thickens.

What could that possibly indicate?

Finally this article clears up who called her mom - TR or TS. This says she got calls from both.

“We got calls on Saturday night, simultaneously, from Lexi’s husband, as well as a friend of Lexi’s, that she was missing and that she hadn’t been heard from since 6 p.m. Friday,” she said.

 

[steeltowngirl]

What could that possibly indicate?

Could be as simple as they couldn’t get a permit to gather due to COVID. Could be something else though. Hmmm

beautiful (I've added to the media thread) - another young woman's life gone - reminds me of Sydney Sutherland's life taken much too soon and so accomplished.

Am I the only one who gets weird vibes from TR

Nope.

I think her phone data is going to be key - like many other cases - the location and texts/calls will help solve this.

Good find! Are we sure the friend that called Lexi’s mom was TR?

A lot of these social media darlings/influencer types are a bit self-absorbed. Perhaps a bit of competitiveness we're detecting? Or subtle attempts at redirecting attention to themselves, even?

A naked woman on the side of the road...no signs of obvious harm..just sounds like a rush job from panic....an accident from drugs etc. with someone that didn’t want to get charged with the cause of death..an obvious OD I would think 911 would be called. Rape there would defense injuries...It’s almost like oh she’s dead it wasn’t supposed to happen uh let me put the body here and stage it to look like an assault....unless there’s more than what’s been shared?

I personally do not think a drug OD, at least self induced.
Perhaps someone gave her drug against her will, IMO
I can't think of anything else that would not leave injuries or obvious trauma to the body and LE did state they did not see any.
Bag over the head or drug injection against her will ??
I would think strangulation would show marks around her neck.
Just thinking out loud over here, trying to figure this out.
