Sharon Mary Wimer was a 14-year-old girl from Titusville, Florida, who was murdered on November 5, 1973. Her body was found strangled and wearing only a St. Christopher’s necklace; her shirt and sweater were located nearby. Her death was one of several killings in late 1973 that affected the Titusville area.

Authorities later tied these murders to Bernard Eugene Giles, born in 1953. Giles, a married man with a young daughter at the time, targeted hitchhikers, lured them into his vehicle, then drove them to isolated orange groves or wooded areas where he sexually assaulted and murdered them. Other victims named in the case include Nancy Gerry, Paula Hamric, Carolyn Bennett and Kristi Melton.

Giles was arrested on December 10, 1973, after two underage hitchhikers escaped and gave police his name and vehicle description. He was charged with assault and attempted rape; investigators linked him to multiple disappearances and murders, and in 1974 he confessed and received multiple life terms after admitting the crimes.

If anyone knew Sharon or has information about her last movements, please come forward.
