Sharron Prior case: Quebec teen’s murder solved nearly 50 years later
A decades-long investigation has led police in Longueil, Que., to the man who killed a 16-year-old girl nearly 50 years ago.
Sharron Prior went missing after she set out to meet friends for pizza just a few blocks from her home in Montreal’s Pointe-St-Charles neighbourhood in March 1975. Her body was found four days later in a wooded area in Longueuil, on Montreal’s south shore.
“You may never have come back to our house or Congregation Street that weekend but you have never left our hearts and you never will,” Moreen Prior, Sharron’s sister said alongside her family on Tuesday after police announced they had identified the killer.
Earlier in May, police confirmed they had a suspect in the case after DNA evidence surfaced in June 2022. Investigators requested that the body of Franklin Maywood Romine, who died in 1982, be exhumed from a West Virginia cemetery and undergo DNA testing.
They said Tuesday that due to DNA test results they are 100 per cent certain Romine was the killer police have sought for nearly five decades.
