In Netflix's latest true crime documentary Girl in the Picture, a woman named Sharon Marshall is found dying by a road, leaves behind a son, a man claiming to be her husband—and a mystery that unfolds like a nightmare. The film tells an incredibly tragic tale and the incredible story of how the mystery was eventually solved twenty-five years later.  Directed and produced by award-winning filmmaker Skye Borgman, Girl in the Picture looks at who Sharon Marshall was, her many different lives and identities, the people whom she touched and the world that she left behind. Releasing on Netflix on July 6th, Girl in the Picture represents a tribute to this young woman and to victims everywhere.  Watch the full episode at https://factualamerica.com “I’m mostly interested in telling human stories and crime gives us the full spectrum of humanity, from the very best to the very worst of people.” - Skye Borgman What is Covered: 00:00 - The trailer for Girl in the Picture. 03:30 - A synopsis of what the film is about. 04:55 - What inspired Skye to make a film about Sharon Marshall. 07:00 - What caused law enforcement to investigate Sharon’s case. 09:07 - How Franklin Delano Floyd got away with crime for so long. 13:58 - How Skye became involved in the project. 15:24 - The increase of podcasts that complement documentary films. 17:30 - What makes a successful documentary. 23:55 - What surprised Skye the most when making Girl in the Picture. 25:44 - Why they chose to use feature documentary format to tell the story. 27:40 - The next project Skye is working on.  Resources: Girl in the Picture (2022)  Abducted in Plain Sight (2017) MovieMaker Magazine Innersound Audio Alamo Pictures Connect with Skye Borgman:  Website Twitter IMDb Connect with Matthew Sherwood: Facebook LinkedIn Twitter  Connect with Factual America: Facebook Instagram Twitter More from Factual America:  Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey  Curse of the Chippendales: A True Crime Story Stripped Bare The Phantom: The Case of Carlos DeLuna 40 Years Later Murder Among the Mormons: The Mark Hofmann's Story
