Sharon Marie Huddle was born in 1956.
Sharon Marie Huddle was born in 1956, the same year as her ex-husband. She was also born in San Diego, California. This means that she may have been one of the most likely people to be targeted by the Golden State Killer—if you believe what we do about his MO and modus operandi (the way he did things).
She graduated from Mira Mesa High School in 1974.
In 1974, Huddle graduated from Mira Mesa High School. She was a member of numerous student organizations and sports teams, including the Future Teachers of America (or FTA), Future Business Leaders of America (or FBLA), Student Council and volleyball team.
She married Joseph James DeAngelo in 1973.
You may have seen the news. Joseph James DeAngelo, a 72-year-old man who was arrested on Tuesday for committing numerous rapes and murders in California during the 1970s and 1980s, turns out to be Sharon Marie’s ex-husband. She married him when she was 19 years old and separated from him 13 years later.
As a result of DeAngelo’s arrest, Sharon Marie is now dealing with her past head on—and she’s not too pleased about it. Even though he has been charged with 12 murders so far, investigators think he may have killed up to 50 people during his murderous spree. “I’m not shocked but I don’t want any part of this,” she told WLS when pressed about his arrest by reporters outside her home on Wednesday night in Citrus Heights, California (which is just outside Sacramento). “I want my privacy back.”
They had three daughters together.
- They had three daughters together.
- They were born in the late 1970s, early 1980s and mid-1980s.
- Their oldest daughter was born in 1986, followed by two younger sisters (1986 and 1988).
In the early 1980s, DeAngelo raped and murdered a woman who lived near them (and who was friends with Huddle).
On April 24, 2018, DeAngelo was arrested by the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department after DNA evidence linked him to crimes that occurred in California between 1976 and 1986. In addition to being charged with the murder of Huddle’s neighbor, he was also charged with the murders of two other women who lived near them: an 18-year-old girl who disappeared from Ventura in 1978; and Janelle Cruz, a 21-year-old woman murdered in Irvine on May 5, 1986 (the day before she planned to graduate from college).
Huddle and DeAngelo divorced in 1991.
Huddle and DeAngelo divorced in 1991. She was granted a restraining order against him in 1992, according to court documents.
In an interview with ABC News on Wednesday, the couple’s son spoke about his father’s arrest and said that he had not spoken to him since the divorce. “I hope they find him guilty so he gets what he deserves. He needs help or just needs to be put into one of those places where they can continue to help him,” said John Huddle, who also had no idea that his father was suspected of committing serial murder.
The couple were married for over three decades before divorcing in 1987 due to irreconcilable differences, according Sharon Marie Huddle’s California divorce records obtained by Heavy
