The disappearance of Kristi Nicole Sharritt is a deeply unsettling case that began sometime in the summer of 2014. She was last seen in Phenix City, Alabama, in July of that year. Police had been called to her home on the Russell County side of town that month and saw both her and her husband, Jeffrey Michael Sharritt. After that encounter, Kristi was never heard from again. At the time of her disappearance, she was 36 years old and had blonde hair.
Her maiden name is Vance, and she also went by the nickname Nikki. The circumstances surrounding her vanishing were complicated by the fact that she and her husband both disappeared around the same time.
The initial period following Kristi and her husband's disappearance was marked by a lack of immediate alarm. The couple was known to have a strained relationship with their relatives, and much of Kristi's family resided in Florida, so it wasn't considered unusual for them to be out of contact. Furthermore, both Kristi and her husband were reportedly involved in criminal activity, and Jeffrey had outstanding warrants for his arrest, which contributed to them not being reported as missing right away. The case took a dark turn in September 2015, when partial skeletal remains were discovered by a creek bed in a wooded area near Salem, Alabama. It wasn't until June 2017 that these remains were identified as belonging to Jeffrey Sharritt, who was determined to have died from a gunshot wound.
Following the identification of her husband's remains and the confirmation that his death was a homicide, Kristi's family officially reported her missing in July 2017. This prompted a parallel investigation by the Phenix City Police Department into her disappearance, alongside the Lee County Sheriff's Office's homicide investigation. Law enforcement has expressed a strong interest in locating Kristi to ensure her well-being and to learn what she might know about the circumstances leading to her husband's death. The case is an intricate puzzle for investigators, defined by a prolonged period before the subjects were reported missing and the discovery of one spouse as a homicide victim. The central question of what happened to Kristi Nicole Sharritt remains unanswered, leaving a void for her family and a complex cold case for law enforcement.Last Seen: Jul 1, 2014
