Today marks one month since the disappearance of now-15-year-old Sharon West, who was last seen at a family friend’s house in Fannett at about 2 a.m. July 30.
According to sheriff’s deputies, the 14-year-old had been living with family friends for about three months while her mother looked for work in the Irving area. The family said she was awake and at the house when they’d gone to bed around 2 a.m.

Later that morning, a friend said Sharon had sent a text message at about 5:20 a.m., saying she was at a soccer field a couple of miles from the house. Investigators learned earlier this month that she’d called another friend that same morning around 6 a.m., also saying she was at the field, which deputies say is a common meet-up spot for locals.
That’s the last time anyone has reported hearing from her.
Last week, Sharon’s parents began working with Chuck Foreman, a private investigator based out of Austin who is taking the case free of charge.
Foreman said a landowner with property adjacent to the soccer fields had given him permission to search a 10-acre, heavily wooded area that he does not believe has been searched. He invites the public to join him on the ground search at 6:30 p.m. tonight.
