Girl in the Picture is an American Netflix original documentary film directed by Skye Borgman.[1] It is based on the books A Beautiful Child and Finding Sharon by Matt Birkbeck, who also served as executive producer.[2] The film was released on July 6, 2022.[3]
The story is centered on a young girl known as Sharon Marshall, who was abducted by a federal fugitive Franklin Delano Floyd and then raised as his daughter.[4] Over the course of the next two decades, she was sexually assaulted by Floyd, forced to marry him and ultimately died in a suspicious hit-and-run accident in 1990.[5] The film follows the shocking events that transpired afterward and the years-long efforts by Birkbeck, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, and the FBI to find her true identity.[3]
