Sharon Ann Martin, 55, was last seen on March 31, 2006, in Pensacola, Florida. A U.S. Air Force veteran and former flight attendant, she was managing an apartment complex on East Nine Mile Road when she called her husband at lunchtime that day and then vanished.

A month later maintenance worker John Homer Docherty IV was arrested for using Sharon’s credit card and forging checks in her name. Investigators found bloodstains in his apartment that matched Sharon’s DNA. Witnesses said Docherty was seen lifting a heavy trash can into a dumpster the night she disappeared and later searching that dumpster with a flashlight. Sharon’s body has never been found.

Docherty was convicted of manslaughter in 2008 and sentenced to 15 years; he was released in 2019 and has maintained his innocence. Investigators believe Sharon was killed for her reported $2.5 million fortune, but her remains remain undiscovered. Does anyone have information about Sharon’s last known movements or the area around East Nine Mile Road on March 31, 2006?
