Was Toni Lee Sharpless Murdered?

Was Toni Lee Sharpless murdered? An anonymous letter might hold clues to the 2009 cold case, but the ending in sight doesn't look positive at all. The woman was 29-years-old when she vanished from Gladwyne, Pennsylvania. She had last been seen in the very early morning hours of August 23rd after attending a house party as well as at least one night club. The Charley Project shares that the woman was thrown from a party after pouring alcohol on the floor. It wasn't long after that, that she vanished. This, and so many other elements, make it hard to believe that Toni's disappearance was anything but caused by foul play of some sort.

An anonymous letter was sent to a private detective working on the woman's case, claiming to have information about what happened to her three years ago. If this is true, then there may be an end to this tragic story.

Toni Lee Sharpless left behing a 12-year-old daughter when she vanished, who is now getting up in the age where she is old enough to drive, to be in high school, growing up without her mother. It's time to bring an end to this and give Toni's loved ones the closure they need.
