More details about Netflix's Girl in the Picture
Girl in the Picture tells the disturbing story of the death of a woman named Tonya Hughes and the subsequent kidnapping of her son, Michael. Tonya was married to Franklin Delano Floyd, who raised her as his daughter.
Tonya, whose original name was reportedly Sharon Marshall, was the daughter of Floyd's first wife Sandra Bradenburg. Sandra had four children -- Sharon, Allison, Amy, and Philip -- from her previous marriages. After Sandra was arrested and sent to jail for 30 days for passing bad checks, Floyd left their home with Sharon and the other three kids.
Sharon married Floyd in 1989. By then, the couple had started using the aliases Clarence and Tonya. Reportedly, tension grew in the couple's relationship and Floyd threatened to kill Tonya when he found out that she had plans to leave him.
In 1990, Tonya decided to leave Floyd and start a new life with a man named Kevin Brown. She'd also planned to take her son Michael with her. However, in April that year, she was killed in a hit-and-run on a highway outside Oklahoma City. Floyd is believed to be a person of interest in her death. Police also believe Floyd had abused Tonya as a child.
Tonya's son Michael was subsequently put into foster care while Floyd was in jail for a parole violation in an unrelated case. Later, a DNA test revealed that Floyd was not Michael's biological father, which meant he couldn't gain custody of Michael.
Following Floyd's release from jail in 1994, he went to Michael's school and threatened the principal with a gun, asking him to release Michael. He left with Michael in a truck, and the boy was never seen again.
Floyd reportedly admitted in 2015 that he killed the six-year-old boy after kidnapping him from school.
Girl in the Picture is available to stream on Netflix.
