Interesting find in Sharron Prior case

August 21, 2011 By Alice

An interesting find in the case of Sharron Prior. I could use your help to figure out what it really means:

“What ever happened to mike french. he was cut up into little pieces for raping sharron prior.She was the daughter of one of his decieced brothers.Mike and his buddy ,we all know who that is lured sharron in the car,she thought because they were her dads friends it would be ok.Sad to say she was wrong they raped an tourchered her for three days, then killed her .Mike was dismembered while he was alive .his body parts were buried all over the city.I guess they shouldnt have braged about what they did.The two of them are a disgrace to are gender,and be sure theyre names are spoken in shame.”

The thread and Sharron’s mother comments are gone. Neither forum exists anymore but I did find another reference to Mike French here. The network54 link now refers to tapatalk, a forum site.

UPDATE from Yvonne Prior, Sharron’s mother:

Hello Alice & Joe,

In answer of  the interesting webfind August/21/2011 “What ever happened to Mike French” I have known about that article for a few years now and must say that I was quite shocked when I first read it. Mike French was the number one suspect in the attack on the other women (Cheryl Roy) just before my daughter Sharron was abducted. He was picked up by the detectives, questioned and put in a line up. But Cheryl could not positively identify him so they had to let him go so they moved on to other suspects.

I do know that Mike French was murdered some time in the mid eighties. His body was found at an Indian reservation on the South shore of Montreal. His body parts were not cut up in little pieces and buried all over Montreal.

Mike French was a member of one of the bike gangs (not to sure which one). My EX-husband did not know Mike French, I did not know Mike French. My Ex lived in Vancouver in 1975. He and my father-in-law and mother-in-law could not get to Montreal for Sharron’s funeral as all planes were grounded because of a big snow storm in Vancouver.

In 2004, when our detectives opened my daughter’s case on a lead which turned out to be a false lead, they decided to look into the Mike French case again as this time DNA could be checked.  Being Mike French was murdered and was an unsolved case they still had his DNA at the lab. But the results were inconclusive.

As for the interesting webfind, I have no idea why anyone would write such horrible lies on a site regarding my daughter. I did look into the site and was trying to find out who wrote this, someone wrote back and said look for PAPA PETE site but cannot find it.

Thank you so much for your interest in my daughter Sharron’s case.

Mrs. Yvonne Prior

Rest assured that we will be looking as well, Mrs. Prior. To be continued!

Author Notes

Since 2009, I write about unsolved cases that need renewed media attention. I only do research and leave active investigations to the authorities.

My posts cover homicides, missing and unidentified people, wrongful convictions, and forensics as related to unsolved cases.

On book reviews: I only review select works of true crime, crime fiction, and historical fiction/mysteries. The stories have to fit my website's theme, tone, and research. It is my prerogative to not review a book. Please check the FAQ page for more.

My databases are free to the public. Cases are sorted by the victim’s last name.

If you have any questions about my website please check the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page, the About page, and the tabs in both menu bars. If you cannot find the answers there, please contact me.

Thank you,
