Timeline

Kinne's case has been featured on Unsolved Mysteries and was the subject of the ID series A Crime to Remember episode "Luck Be a Lady" (Season 4 Episode 2, 2016).

On December 7, 1969, Sharon was not present for a routine 5 p.m. roll-call at the Ixtapalapan prison where she was serving her sentence. Her absence was not officially noted until she also failed to show up at a second roll-call later that evening. The news of her escape was not reported to Mexico City police until 2 o'clock the following morning. A manhunt was then arranged, initially focusing on the northern Mexican states due to authorities' belief that Sharon may have been heading for the last known whereabouts of a former inmate to whom she had grown close while they were in prison together.

The intensive manhunt for was short-lived. By December 18, the Mexican secret service and the Mexico City district attorney's office were both reporting that they were no longer involved in searching for the escaped prisoner, while the federal district attorney was reporting that responsibility for the hunt belonged to the city district attorney's office. Investigators speculated that Sharon had already crossed the border from Mexico into Guatemala, mooting the purpose of a Mexican manhunt. They noted that she was fluent in Spanish after her years in Mexican prison, and she could therefore "get along rather well" in nearly any Spanish-speaking area of the world. Despite vowing to keep the case open and their investigation running until Sharon was back in custody, authorities were forced to admit by the end of December 1969 that they had run out of investigative leads to pursue.

In Mexico, Sharon, claiming to have been acting in self-defense, killed a Mexican-born American citizen named Francisco Parades Ordoñez, who was shot in the back. 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 Jones. Sharon was convicted in October 1965 of the Ordoñez killing and sentenced to ten years in prison, later lengthened to thirteen years after judicial review. She escaped from the prison during a blackout in December 1969. Despite extensive manhunts, Sharon Kinne's whereabouts are unknown.

Pugliese was held at the Palacio de Lecumberri in Mexico City, while Sharon was initially placed in a women's prison before being transferred to Lecumberri for her trial. The couple were arraigned on September 26 and held for trial. In October, Sharon's Mexican attorney, Higinio Lara, filed a recurso de amparo, similar to a writ of habeas corpus, asserting that the Mexican government was violating her constitutional rights by holding her for a shooting committed in self-defense. The request was denied and both Sharon and Pugliese were tried in the summer of 1965.

A US$30,000 supersedeas bond was issued in August 1965 as the United Bond Insurance Company continued to dispute the payment of Sharon's original US$25,000 bond. The supersedeas bond allowed the company to defer payment of the US$25,000 bond until a ruling on the matter was handed down by the Missouri Supreme Court, but when that court upheld the bond's forfeiture, the US$25,000 was paid to the State of Missouri in October 1965. The United Bond Insurance Company later filed suit against Sharon's family to recover the cost of the bail, lawyer's fees, and searching for Sharon after her escape.

Sharon's second trial for the death of James Kinne began on March 23, 1964. As jury selection got underway that day, the public was initially barred from the proceedings, but the restriction was soon loosened and journalists were allowed into the courtroom. An unusually long jury selection process made the first day of the trial last fourteen hours, beginning at 9 a.m. and not ending until nearly midnight; presiding judge Paul Carver noted that due to the notoriety of the case, he had been forced to choose between sequestering the entire jury pool overnight and forcing the court into a long day. The eventual jury, all men, were immediately sequestered, but days later, a mistrial was declared after it emerged that a law partner of prosecutor Lawrence Gepford had once been retained by one of the jurors.

Sharon's third trial, originally scheduled to begin early in June 1964, began instead on June 29. Assistant prosecutor Donald L. Mason declared at jury selection that he intended to death-qualify the jury, a process in which a prosecutor peremptorily challenges any juror who automatically opposes the death penalty, and jury selection once again took more than twelve hours in one day. Boldizs' testimony in this trial remained contradictory as to whether he believed Sharon's US$1,000 offer to have James killed had been intended seriously, but he added this time that after his death, Sharon had asked that Boldizs not tell authorities about her offer.

A fourth trial was scheduled for October 1964; however, in September, Sharon, still free on her $25,000 bond, traveled to Mexico with an alleged lover, Francis Samuel Pugliese, leaving her children with James's father and traveling as Pugliese's wife under the name "Jeanette Pugliese". The couple later said that they had gone to Mexico to get married. Under the legal terms of her bail, Sharon was permitted to leave the country, but her contract with the company that posted her bond prohibited her from leaving Missouri without written permission from the company's agents.

On the night of September 18, 1964, Sharon left the hotel without Pugliese, either to acquire money because the couple was running low or to get medicine she required. She encountered Francisco Parades Ordoñez, a Mexican-born American citizen, at a bar and accompanied him back to his room in Hotel La Vada. According to Sharon's account, she went with Ordoñez to see photographs he offered to show her, but he soon began to make sexual advances toward her and she was forced to fire her gun at him in an attempt to protect herself.

Sharon's arrest and conviction in Mexico had implications for the status of her Missouri legal entanglements. Because she was being held in Mexico on October 26, 1964—the scheduled date for her fourth trial in the murder of her husband—her US$25,000 bond was revoked on that date. Although the United Bond Insurance Company, which had posted the bond, argued that paperwork irregularities rendered the issuance of her bail illegal, the court ordered the company to forfeit the bond. Sharon was reportedly concerned about the monetary implications of this forfeiture: "I could always use the money"; the Altus, Oklahoma, Time-Democrat quoted her as saying: "I don't intend to spend all my life in jail".

When Sharon failed to appear for the fourth trial, a warrant was issued for her arrest in October 1964. It is still outstanding 57 years later, making it the oldest outstanding murder warrant known to exist in the Kansas City area. Sharon's status in the Mexican system also remains outstanding, though authorities have pointed out that at the time of her escape, jailbreak was not a crime under Mexican law; if she were re-captured there, she would have only to serve out the remainder of her outstanding sentence.

The State's request that the Missouri Supreme Court re-consider its position on Sharon's conviction was granted, but in October 1963 that hearing resulted in further grounds being found for a new trial, this time on the basis of the prosecutor having been allowed to cross-examine a prosecution witness. A second request for a re-hearing on the validity of the conviction was denied by the Missouri Supreme Court. Sharon and her children moved in with her mother and awaited the start of her new trial.

Despite her acquittal for the murder of Patricia Jones, Sharon remained charged for the murder of her husband, James Kinne. When jury selection began on January 8, 1962, Hill noted that he did not intend to pursue the death penalty in the case.

The motion was denied by Judge Stubbs in April 1962, but appealed to the Missouri Supreme Court, which in March 1963 reversed the conviction and ordered a new trial on the basis of Sharon's defense having been denied adequate peremptory challenges during jury selection in her trial. Sharon was denied an opportunity for bail in May 1963, but that ruling was overturned in July and she was released on $25,000 bond, posted by her brother Eugene.

Sharon went to trial for Jones's murder in June 1961 and was acquitted. A January 1962 trial on charges of murdering her husband ended in conviction and a sentence of life imprisonment, 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 ended in a hung jury in July 1964. Sharon was released on bond following the third trial and subsequently traveled to Mexico before a scheduled fourth trial could be held in October 1964.

Sharon's arraignment on July 11 resulted in denial of bail, but the Kansas City Court of Appeals struck down the ruling days later based on the prosecution's reliance on circumstantial evidence. She was freed on US$24,000 (worth US$188,976 in 2013 dollars) bond on July 18. After a delay in her trial date due to her advanced pregnancy, Sharon gave birth to a daughter she named Marla Christine on January 16, 1961.

Although charged with both murders, Sharon was tried separately for the two crimes. Her trial for the murder of Patricia Jones began in mid-June 1961, with jury selection beginning on or about June 13 and the trial commencing days later with an all-male jury.

On March 19, 1960, Sharon's husband, James Kinne, was found shot in the head with the couple's two-year-old daughter playing nearby. Sharon claimed that the child, who had often been allowed to play with James's guns, had accidentally shot him, and police were initially unable to disprove her story. Then, on May 27, the body of 23-year-old Patricia Jones, a local file clerk, was found by Sharon and a boyfriend in a secluded area. Investigators found that Jones had been the wife of another of Sharon's boyfriends, and that Jones's husband had tried to break off his affair with Sharon shortly before Jones went missing. When Sharon admitted to having been the last person to speak to Jones, she was charged with her murder and, upon further investigation of his death, that of James.

By early 1960, James was contemplating divorce, partially because of Sharon's spending habits and partially because he strongly suspected her infidelity. He spoke to his parents about the possibility of divorce on March 18, 1960, telling them that Sharon had agreed to give him one if he allowed her to keep the house, gave her custody the couple's daughter, and paid her US$1,000 in alimony. James's parents, devout Mormons, urged him to stay in the marriage. Sharon, too, was thinking about ways out of the marriage; according to Boldizs, she once offered him US$1,000 to kill her husband, or find someone who would, although he later claimed that she may have been joking.

According to Sharon, on March 19, 1960, at around 5:30 p.m., she heard a gunshot from the direction of the bedroom in which James was sleeping. Entering the room, she found two-and-a-half-year-old Danna on the bed next to her father. Danna was holding one of James's guns, a High Standard .22 target pistol, and James was bleeding from an apparent gunshot wound in the back of his head. Sharon called the police, but James was dead by the time the ambulance carrying him arrived at the hospital.

Patricia Jones was born Patricia Clements, one of six children born to Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Clements of St. Joseph, Missouri. After graduating from Benton High School, she married Walter T. Jones Jr., her high school sweetheart. Walter enlisted in the United States Marine Corps shortly after their marriage, and the couple relocated to the West Coast while Walter served. After his discharge from the military, they returned to Missouri and settled in Independence with their two children. By 1960, almost five years into the marriage, Jones was working as a file clerk for the Internal Revenue Service, while her husband sold cars.

Authorities took Pugliese into custody at the Hotel Gin, initially holding him without charge and later filing charges of entering the country illegally and carrying an unlicensed gun. The gun found in the couple's room that night was later proven through ballistics to be the same gun that killed Patricia Jones in 1960, but because Sharon had already been acquitted of that crime, she could not be charged again for it based on the new evidence.

In I'm Just an Ordinary Girl: The Sharon Kinne Story, Hays asserts that Sharon was inspired to kill her husband by a magazine article she read about Lillian Chastain, a Virginia woman who shot her husband during an argument and blamed the gunshot on the couple's two-year-old daughter. Charges against Chastain were filed in February 1960, weeks before James's death.

After their wedding, the Kinnes returned to Provo, Utah. James resumed his studies at BYU, but put them on hold again at the end of the fall semester. The couple returned to Independence, where both took jobs—Sharon babysat and tended shops, while James worked 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.

Suspicious of the identity of the unknown woman based on the carpoolers' general description, Walter called Sharon and asked if she had seen or spoken to his wife. Sharon allowed that she had, indeed, seen Patricia that day; she had met her to tell her about Walter's affair. According to Sharon, she last saw Patricia where she dropped her off near the Jones house, speaking to an unknown man in a green 1957 Ford.

Sharon, reportedly deeply interested in finding a partner with prospects who could take her away from Independence, wrote a letter to James informing him that she was pregnant by him. James took leave from BYU and returned to Independence, where he married Sharon on October 18, 1956. The couple's marriage license falsely identified Sharon as being 18 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 following year at the Salt Lake Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah, after Sharon had completed the process of joining the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Sharon Kinne (born Sharon Elizabeth Hall, November 30, 1939), also known as Jeanette Pugliese and in Mexico as La Pistolera, is an American murderer and prison escapee who was convicted in Mexico for one murder and is suspected of two others in the United States, one for which she was acquitted at trial. As of 2022, Kinne 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 U.S. history.

Sharon Kinne was born Sharon Elizabeth Hall on November 30, 1939, in Independence, Missouri, to Eugene and Doris Hall. When she was in junior high, Sharon's parents moved the family to Washington State, but by the time she was aged 15 they had returned to Missouri. In the summer of 1956, at age 16, Sharon met 22-year-old college student James Kinne at a church function, and the couple dated regularly until James returned to Brigham Young University (BYU) in the fall.

Sharon was reportedly a lavish spender who expected finer things out of life, but on James's salary they lived first in a rented home next to his parents' residence, then in a ranch-style house they had built at 17009 East 26th Terrace, Independence. James worked the night shift at Bendix, and his wife initially filled her days with shopping and, later, with other men. By the time the couple had a second child, Troy, Sharon was carrying on a regular extramarital affair with a friend from high school, John Boldizs.
