Houston-based Instagram influencer Alexis Sharkey has been found dead after going missing over the Thanksgiving holiday, according to her family.
“It’s with deeply broken hearts that Mike and I want to let you all know that Lexi’s body has been found. We cannot begin to thank you all for your love and the kind words you’ve extended to our family!” Sharkey’s mother, Stacy Robinault, wrote on Facebook late Sunday.
“Please give us this time to grieve this incredible loss to our family and this world!!! We will miss you, Love!!!!”
Sharkey, 26, moved to Houston earlier this year. She left her home following an argument sometime Friday evening without her car and hadn’t been seen or heard from since, Robinault told KPRC 2.
The mom, who had not spoken to her daughter since before Thanksgiving, said Sharkey’s husband, Tom Sharkey, called Saturday to say she was missing.
“[He] called us up to let us know, and that’s when, of course, any parent goes into full panic mode,” Robinault told ABC 13.
The Houston Police Department didn’t have immediate details on where Alexis’ body was found or how she died.
Alexis, who had more than 21,000 followers on Instagram, considered herself a “mentor” and last told her followers about a week ago that she wanted to move to Tulum after falling in love with the Mexican locale.
Late Sunday, her husband posted a picture of Alexis in her wedding dress with the caption, “Never seen or felt such beauty! You are my world!”
He also posted a message on his story to defend himself — saying people who had negative things to say about how his wife went missing should be “ashamed.”
“I just want to say this! While some of you were posting on social media helping us locate my world! And we appreciate all your help, Love and support! Others were waisting [sic] time talking about other things. Basically crap talk! And if my wife would of seen this she would be disappointed in your actions! You all should be ashamed of yourselves!” Tom wrote.
“I have been assisting the deputies and making phone calls to fine [sic] out what happened to my wife. Next time…. stop and think! And realize! You don’t know it all!”
It would be nice if all women were required to carry a weapon. Who’s going to bother a girl with a gun.
With all the gangs in Texas I wouldn’t doubt if they were involved.
I agree with you 💯…The autopsy should be able to find out what caused her death….
If Biden becomes our President, Forget about protecting yourself with a firearm !
Remember the Church shooting and what Brain Dead Joe had to say: Only the Police shoot Carry a Gun ???
Joe’s Gun of Choice, A SHOTGUN ??? Another Proof the Man Is Delusional !!!!??
How is a woman going to Carry a Shotgun ?? How is Anyone going to Carry a Shotgun ???
NOW, LET’S THROW IN DEFUNDING POLICE DEPARTMENTS ALONG WITH GUN FREE ZONES AND WE HAVE A FORMULA FOR THE PERFECT STORM !!!!
If the police are defunded there will not be any enforcement of gun control laws. Therefore, back to the Old West.
There will be a state police force to enforce the liberal laws that strip us of our freedoms. Way to go Democrats, you flushed our country down the drain. Now for them to steal the runoff election in GA in January and they will be unstoppable.
You are right on, Gerry!
If it isn’t a suicide then it’s a murder. And if it’s a murder then there’s a high chance someone she knows was involved. When the victim is married, there’s a high probability it was the spouse.
Maybe it wasn’t anything like that, for all we know she could’ve had an accident and fallen somewhere. Either way, condolences to the family.
You an amateur detective or something you have been watcing too many shows on TV.
And your head must be up there somewhere with Obiden’s. Not to suspect anything…
Wait till all the facts are in. Before judgement!!
Not judgment, just questions!
Exactly!!!
if Biden should accidentally cheat his way into the Whitehouse, there is no way in hell he will ever get my guns or my respect. in that order. we have the right to bear arms, and until he re-writes the constitution, that is all that matters. every person should know how to defend themselves. the days of unlocked doors, knowing all your neighbors is long gone. the world is out to harm the weak and helpless. don’t be a victim. take courses to learn basic defense, how to gauge your surroundings, etc. use common sense. lock every door, window, car door, etc. leave nothing to chance. if possible, get a good guard dog. better safe than sorry. I speak from experience of losing a loved one.
Gun restrictions are only for the honest true Americans. They must disarm the citizens like in Progressive Socialist Communist Fascist Racist Democrat countries like Russia, China and N Korea. In those countries only the citizens are disarmed, the criminals can be armed because they leave each other alone.
SOUNDS LIKE SHE WAS A BIT UNSTABLE ! PROBABLY A DRUG OVERDOSE OR SHE WAS HANGING AROUND THE WRONG PERSON ! WE SHALL SEE !!!
