Here is an excerpt from Matt Birkbeck’s blog on the extraordinary news. On Wednesday, I received a call from Joe informing me that Sharon had finally been positively identified. I then spoke to her family today (Friday). The news was true. I can’t share all the details, but here’s what I can say….
Her name is Suzanne Marie Sevakig and she was from North Carolina.
For those who read the book, you’ll recall Floyd fled Florida in 1973. He ended up in North Carolina a year later using another alias and met a recently divorced woman with four children - three young daughters and infant son. Floyd and the woman later married, and in 1975 the woman was sentenced to 30 days in jail for a minor crime. When she was released Floyd was gone and so where her children. She found two daughters at a local social services agency, where Floyd had taken them. The mother went to the local police and FBI and tried to file kidnapping charges but they declined to investigate saying that since Floyd was their stepfather he apparently had a right to take the children.
Three months later, Floyd and Suzanne, then six years old, were in Oklahoma City. Her little brother was never found. http://www.mattbirkbeck.com/blog/finally
