In the autumn of 1999, Sharon "Shari" Apgar, a 33-year-old mother from Newtonsville, Ohio, was embarking on a new chapter in her life. Having recently filed for divorce, she was living with her mother, who had custody of her teenage son, Joshua. Friends and family described her as a fun-loving person with a kind heart. At the time of her disappearance, she stood approximately 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighed around 100 pounds. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. Distinguishing features included a tattoo of a rose on her left breast and another of a heart with a ribbon on her right shoulder bearing the names "Josh Michael," "Michael Thomas," "Michael Leon," and "Shari George". She also had a burn scar on her right calf and a scar on her right wrist. On the day she was last seen by family, she was wearing a long-sleeved dark green shirt, blue jeans, and black combat-style boots, and she may have been wearing several rings. Sharon's life had been tumultuous; her relationship with her ex-husband, Mike George, was described as violent, and he was reportedly a member of a Cincinnati-based motorcycle gang. Family members stated that he was physically abusive towards her, and had introduced her to prescription drugs, though she was in recovery at the time she went missing. Fearful for her safety after filing for divorce, particularly after her ex-husband's recent release from prison, Sharon had instructed her mother to contact the police if she ever went out of contact for more than a few days, expressing her belief that he might harm her. On November 18, 1999, she left her mother's home to meet friends in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, a town about 40 minutes away. She was last seen by these friends at the Cross County Inn. It is believed she left the hotel with the intention of meeting her ex-husband. After Sharon failed to return home, her mother, remembering her daughter's ominous words, reported her missing to the Clermont County Sheriff's Office. When investigators attempted to contact Mike George, they discovered that he too had disappeared. This led them to initially seek the public's help in locating both individuals. Despite their efforts, which included a public plea for information, the case grew cold. Foul play is suspected in Sharon's disappearance, and her family believes she was murdered, though no tangible evidence has been found to confirm this. Tragically, both of Sharon's parents passed away without ever learning what happened to their daughter. The case remains an active investigation, with her son continuing to seek answers and closure. The disappearance of Sharon Apgar is a somber case that highlights the devastating impact of domestic violence and the enduring pain of a family left without answers. Although her ex-husband was considered a person of interest, he was never officially named a suspect, and the absence of both individuals has left a void of information. The investigation remains open, a lingering testament to a life cut short and a family's unending search for peace.
