In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa will discuss the Friday the 13th 'inspired' horrible, tragic case of Sharon Gregory.

Listener Discretion-brutal murder, mental health issues, and the awful unaliving self.

On October 24, 1988, 18 year old Sharon Gregory is home alone; she lives with her identical twin Cheryl and her parents Edward and Barbara. Around 12:30pm Cheryl comes home and finds Sharon in a pool of blood in their upstairs bathroom and she phones the police.

This tragic situation is alarmingly shocking for the small town of Greenfield, Massachusetts. Greenfield did not see any or much crime much less a murder.

Very quickly the Greenfield Police Department and the Massachusetts State Police close in a suspect; a 19 year old named Mark Branch. Mark was a friend of a close friend of the twins and Sharon had told Cheryl she was afraid of him.

Ultimately, this case would involve a month long man hunt, tragedy for two families, and a deep, uncomfortable fascination with horror movies and longing to be the villian in the movies.

Listen to hear full details.
