Instead she jumps too far and too fast, which causes her body to slam into the mountain. It kind of sounds like a good plan, you know, if you like dying. She jumps off a 500 foot cliff and falls down, where she’ll unhook one rope, destroy the evidence of the rock hook, attach herself to another hook and climb the rest of the way down. She planned on meeting Paul in Mexico a few months later and of course left him all her money.

She bought a car and left it near the mountain so she could escape without anyone seeing her and took rock climbing lessons so she could pull it off. That explains why she’s 18 and has servants working for her. Now she’s in jail and doesn’t know that Ann actually set the whole thing up. She runs to the edge of the cliff and finds that Ann is gone. They clear the air and as she’s walking back, she hears someone yell, “don’t!”. Chad gives Sharon a back rub that gets her all worked up, but instead of doing anything, she goes for a walk with Ann. They all go camping and Ann tells Sharon they should take a walk later in the night. Sounds a little more like stalker than love, but whatever. She was nice to him and he never even looked at another girl because he was in love. Sharon was this great classical pianist who was already accepted to Julliard and Jerry was the annoying little brother of her best friend. Things were rough between the girls because Ann’s brother Jerry was obsessed/in love with Sharon and he killed himself when she wouldn’t date him…or something. They don’t have a whole lot of faith in a teenage girl.Īnyway, Sharon and her quasai boyfriend Fred had gone on a camping trip with Ann, Ann’s boyfriend Paul and his brother Chad, who works for her. It happened a month ago and she’s still sitting in jail. Apparently they’re charging her even though no body was found.

Sharon McKay is on trial for killing her best friend Ann Rice and she’s in jail and everything, she even has a creepy lawyer named Johnny who wants to get in her pants.
