Suzanne Sevakis (aka: Suzanne Davis, Sharon Marshall, Tonya Dawn Tadlock/Hughes), daughter of Clifford Sevakis and Sandi Chipman (Sandra Willett), was born on September 6, 1969 and passed away on April 30, 1990.
She was abducted at the age of 4 by a sexual predator who had recently married her mother.
Both then lived under assumed identities, often moving from state to state, her abductor pretending to be her father.
Suzanne lived a whole life of abuse at the hands of this man even being forced to marry him in 1989.
In 1990, she was the victim of a hit and run (it is presumed that her abductor was the car's driver) and later died at the hospital after her abductor had come to visit her.
Her identity eluded investigators for decades until she was finally identified in 2014 when her abductor confessed to her real name.
Suzanne was the mother of Michael Anthony Hughes who was also presumably killed by her abductor in 1994. She also had a boy in high school and a girl in 1989 who were given for adoption by her abductor. (None of the children was his. )
Suzanne was the subject of two books by author Matt Birkbeck: "A Beautiful Child" and "Finding Sharon" as well as of a Netflix Documentary: "The Girl in the Picture."
