Influencer Alexis Sharkey's Body Has Been Found Just Days After She Was Reported Missing

While many people spent their Thanksgiving weekends at home with some of their loved ones, Alexis Sharkey's family went through unimaginable terror. The 26-year-old skin and haircare influencer was last seen in the Houston area on Nov. 27, and she was reported missing a day later.

Sharkey had moved to Houston with her husband in January of 2020, while the rest of her immediate family resided in her home state of Pennsylvania. 

Despite being thousands of miles away, Sharkey's immediate family began a tireless search for her online, which ended in tragedy.

Three days after she was last seen, Sharkey's mom, Stacey Clark Robinault, confirmed that her body had been found.
