Sharon Martin was 26 when she was murdered on October 24, 1991. She was strangled and her body was dismembered after death; her remains were found scattered in multiple locations around Greensboro, North Carolina. The discovery and the brutality of the killing prompted an extensive investigation.

Investigators eventually arrested Robert Sylvester Alston, who was 22 at the time of Sharon’s murder and later linked to multiple killings of young Black women in the area. He was apprehended in January 1994 and later pleaded guilty to charges; he received multiple life sentences without parole. Alston refused to disclose the locations of all of Sharon Martin’s remains.

After the murder, some of Sharon Martin’s remains that had been sent to Chapel Hill for identification were lost by the coroner’s office. The North Carolina Industrial Commission ordered the medical examiner’s office to pay Sharon’s mother, Betty Jean Donnell, $50,000; the money was placed in a trust to help send Sharon’s 17-year-old son to college.

Does anyone have information about Sharon’s movements in Greensboro in October 1991 or recall sightings of a dark blue Pontiac at that time?
