Girl In The Picture, Netflix’s latest true crime offering, may seem like a simple premise, but it’s the streaming platform’s most chilling documentary yet.

, on the face of it, sounds simple. It centres on the case of Tonya Hughes and soon becomes a complicated tale of forged identity, fake personas and abuse. When 20-year-old Tonya is found unconscious on the side of a road in 1990 – and later dies of her injuries – we soon realise that nobody actually knows who she is.

We hear from people who knew Sharon and one particular friend who, on the only sleepover she ever had at Sharon and Warren’s home, recounts a chilling instance of rape and gun violence. We quickly get the picture that Warren was not only an unfit father but a serial abuser and terribly controlling over Sharon’s life. He buys his daughter lingerie – much to her friend’s confusion – and things quickly escalate from hauntingly chilling to downright bizarre.

While the multiple name changes are hard to keep track of, something that brings this documentary to life is the focus of the people around Sharon’s life who endeavored to find out the truth: the truth about her identity, how she died, what happened to her son Michael and who Clarence/Warren actually was.
