     Michele D. Frank was born on March 6th, 1965 to Sharon and Stephen Frank. She had two sisters and one brother. (Angela, Deborah, and Timothy.)   In 1984, Michele was 19. Her parents had divorced awhile back. Michele now had a stepmother named Mary E. Frank.    Michele’s Mom had remarried as well and her name was now Sharon Alexander. Michele’s stepfather was Danny Alexander.    She had a stepsister named Stephanie A. Atkins. They were a big, busy family. Her family and friends lovingly called her “Micki”.   Michele D. Frank graduated from Bayless High School in 1982.    Michele was working at a Jack in the Box restaurant at 4292 Bayless Avenue in Lemay in 1984.

Lemay is a neighborhood south of downtown St. Louis.    Michele was closing u...

       Sharon Marie Hurley was born in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts on March 21st,1956.   I wasn’t able to find out much about her family or her childhood. I couldn’t find anything about her birth in any newspapers. I didn’t find any yearbook photos. I don’t know if the last name of Hurley is her maiden name or a married name.    Sharon Hurley was living on the 4100 block of Russell Boulevard in 1981. Today it’s a very nice looking street of brick buildings built around 1900-1930. Some might be older. Many look like apartment buildings.    Sharon had moved to St. Louis sometime in the late 70’s. Her neighbors said they did not know her very well. She had only lived on Russell for a couple of years. It is not too far from the downtown St. Louis area with the Arch and the baseball park.  St. Louis is the home of the Cardinals. It is a busy town these days with a bustling economy but in 1981; every state was still comi...

They were very involved parents and loved their boys very much. Kevin coached his sons’ soccer and baseball teams.    Carla Brame worked at Delco Chassis in Dayton.    Kevin was a San Francisco 4...
