This case was brought to my attention by Crime Noir Podcast, another great source to find information regarding the missing and murdered within the Black community. While it isn’t much known about Sharaun Cole, The Doe Network reports that the 12-year-old vanished from Manhattan, New York in 1983.
It was on February 25, 1983, when Sharaun went to play outside of her family home on Edgecomb Avenue. According to her mother, the little girl was seen at a nearby park but never returned. She’s never been heard from or seen again. The Charley Project states that Sharaun’s mother insisted there were no problems at home that would cause the child to run away. Not much else is known or has been shared about the decades-old case.
Sharaun Cole: What To Know
At the time of her disappearance, Sharaun Cole stood 5 feet 6 inches tall to 5 feet 7 inches tall and was 110 to 115 pounds. She has dark brown/black hair and brown eyes. Sharaun was last seen wearing a beige wool jacket, blue jeans, and blue and white sneakers. TCP writes that she was wearing a gold jacket, as well, but that isn’t listed in The Doe Network. Her birthdate is October 8, 1970, but she was known to use the same date with the year 1969. She would be 49 years old at the time of this publication.
