Sharon Elizabeth Kinne (born Sharon Elizabeth Hall, November 30, 1939), known in Mexico as La Pistolera, is an American murderer who is the subject of the longest currently outstanding arrest warrant for murder in the history of Kansas City, Missouri; and one of the longest outstanding felony warrants in American history. In 1960, Kinne was associated with two mysterious deaths. On March 19 of that year, her husband, James Kinne, was found shot in the head with the couple's two-year-old daughter playing nearby. Sharon Kinne claimed that the little girl, who had often been allowed to play with her father's guns, had accidentally shot him, and police were initially unable to disprove this theory. The case was closed as an accidental death and remained that way until the evening of May 27, when the body of twenty-three-year-old Patricia Jones, a local file clerk, was found by Kinne and a boyfriend in a secluded area. Investigation showed that Jones had been the wife of another of Kinne's boyfriends, and that Jones's husband had tried to break off his affair with Kinne shortly before Patricia Jones went missing. When Kinne admitted to having been the last person to speak to Patricia Jones, she was charged with Jones's death and, upon further investigation of his death, with the murder of James Kinne. Kinne went to trial for the murder of Patricia Jones in June 1961 and was acquitted. A January 1962 trial on charges of murdering her husband ended in conviction and a sentence of life in prison, but the verdict was overturned because of procedural irregularities. The case went to a second trial, which ended within days in a mistrial. A third trial on the charge of murdering her husband ended in a hung jury in July 1964. Kinne was released on bond following the third trial and subsequently traveled to Mexico before a scheduled fourth trial could be held in October 1964. In Mexico, Kinne and her traveling companion, Francis Puglise, were soon caught up in another criminal case when Kinne, claiming to have been acting in self-defense, shot and killed a Mexican-born American citizen named Francisco Parades Ordoñez, who she claimed attempted to rape her. An employee of the hotel in which the shooting occurred, responding to the sound of gunshots, was also wounded but survived. Investigation into the shootings showed that Ordoñez was shot with the same weapon that killed Patricia Jones. Kinne was convicted in October 1965 of the Mexican crimes and sentenced to ten years in prison, later lengthened to thirteen years after judicial review. Kinne escaped from the Mexican prison in December 1969. Despite extensive manhunts, her whereabouts are unknown. ==Early life and marriage== Sharon Elizabeth Hall〔 was born in on November 30, 1939,〔Hays, pp. 1–2〕 in Independence, Missouri. When she was in junior high, Doris〔 and Eugene Hall moved the family to Washington, but by the time Sharon was fifteen they had returned to Missouri, where Sharon attended William Chrisman High School.〔 Sixteen-year-old Sharon met twenty-two-year-old college student James Kinne at a church function in the summer of 1956, and the couple dated regularly until Kinne returned to Brigham Young University in the fall.〔Hays, Chapter I, pp. 8, 23, 37, 53, 67, 83〕 Sharon, reportedly deeply interested in finding a partner with prospects and who could take her away from Independence,〔〔 soon wrote a letter to Kinne at school informing him that she was pregnant by him. Kinne took leave from his college and returned to Independence, where he married Sharon on October 18, 1956. The couple's marriage license identified sixteen-year-old Sharon as being eighteen and a widow; though she later refused to address the assertion, Sharon told people at the time that she had been married when she lived in Washington, to a man who later died in a car accident. The new couple held a second, more formal wedding the next year in the Mormon Tabernacle, after Sharon had completed the process of converting to Mormonism.〔 After their wedding, the couple returned to Provo, Utah, where Kinne had been attending college, but at the end of the fall semester, Kinne again put his studies on hold. He and his new wife returned to Independence, where both took jobs—Sharon, babysitting and tending shops, and James as an electrical engineer at Bendix Aviation. Although Sharon claimed to have miscarried the child that had brought about their marriage, she soon became pregnant again. In the fall of 1957, she gave birth to a girl they named Danna.〔 Sharon was reportedly a free spender who expected finer things out of life, but on Kinne's salary they lived first in a rented home next to his parents and then in a ranch-style house they had built at 17009 E. 26th Terrace in Independence. Kinne worked the night shift at the Bendix, and his wife initially filled her days first with shopping and later with other men. By the time the couple had a second child, Troy, Sharon was carrying on a regular affair with a friend from her high school days, John Boldizs.〔 By early 1960, James Kinne was contemplating divorce, partially because of his wife's spendthrift habits and partially because he strongly suspected she was being unfaithful to him.〔 He spoke to his parents about the possibility of divorce on March 18, 1960, telling them that Sharon had agreed to give him a divorce if he allowed her to keep the house and the couple's daughter and paid her $1,000, but the elder Kinnes, devout Mormons, urged James to stay in his marriage.〔 Sharon, too, was thinking about ways out of the marriage; according to John Boldizs, she once offered him $1,000 to kill her husband or find someone who would,〔 although he later claimed that she may have been joking.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sharon Kinne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
