State officials and local F.B.I. agents initiated the largest manhunt in South Carolina history, which lasted until her body was found on June 5, 1985. Larry Gene Bell was convicted of her murder and that of Debra May Helmick, a little girl he kidnapped and murdered exactly two weeks after he kidnapped Shari. He was given two death sentences and was executed in the electric chair in South Carolina on October 4, 1996.
