There’s nothing more devastating for a parent to experience than a kidnapping, especially when it’s done by one of the parents. And then to go years without knowing where they ended up, if at all? A Florida woman kept her secret for a long time, to the tune of 42 whole years, when she fled with her daughter back in 1983. Now, the search a family never gave up on finally came to fruition and ended in an arrest.
Bodycam footage of the arrest was taken by the Marion County Sheriff’s Office and shared by WKMG_News6 on TikTok. It revealed 66-year-old Debra Newton, who went as “Sharon,” casually walking her dog and greeting a neighbor when officers approached her. Her neighbor, laughing, jokes, “Uh-Oh! They’re coming for you, Sharon,” only to be shocked when the police officers tell Sharon/Debra of her arrest warrant.
