It began with a picture — one that, when examined closer, opened up a twisted and heartbreaking 30-year mystery.

The upcoming true-crime documentary Girl in the Picture dives into the story of Sharon Marshall, as she goes from being an ambitious teenager with a scholarship to Georgia Tech to a woman with a 2-year-old son, forced by her abusive husband to work as a stripper. Her eventual tragic murder leads to an investigation of her true identity and the federal fugitive who happened to be at the center of it all. Investigative journalist Matt Birkbeck, who first wrote about this saga in his bestselling novels A Beautiful Child and Finding Sharon, is the film’s executive producer.

As a companion to the documentary, Netflix will also publish a special five-part audio miniseries. Girl in the Picture, the podcast, will feature complementary information and interviews not seen in the film. Episodes 1 and 2 will be available to download from the You Can’t Make This Up feed on June 29. Subsequent episodes will be published every week thereafter. (If you want to avoid spoilers, we suggest watching the film before listening to Episode 3.)

Girl in the Picture will be available on July 6. Watch the trailer below.
