Sharon, a brilliant and kind-hearted teenager from Georgia, had the world at her feet with a full ride scholarship to study aerospace engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. However, she harbored a secret: she was pregnant by her boyfriend and gave up her dream to let the baby be adopted by a wealthy couple from Texas. Years later, Sharon moved to Tampa, Florida, with a man named Franklin Delano Floyd, but she continued to date another man and had another child, which she kept and raised with Franklin. Sharon worked as an exotic dancer to provide for them, and they also relied on welfare checks. One of Sharon's co-workers, Cheryl Commesso, had frequent disagreements with Franklin, and there were rumors of a brief relationship between them. During a boating trip, a fight broke out between Cheryl and Franklin, and she reported Sharon to social services for misrepresenting her income. This led to Sharon losing her welfare aid, and Franklin confronted Cheryl outside the club, punching her in the face during the altercation. Cheryl went missing shortly after, and both Frank and Sharon were considered persons of interest in her disappearance. They quickly left the area and got married in 1989, but they frequently went by different aliases and ended up in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Despite years of investigation, no evidence ever connected them to Cheryl's disappearance.00:05:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Cases With The Most INSANE Twists You've Ever Heard," the story of Sharon and Frank is shared. Sharon, an exotic dancer, was in a tumultuous relationship with Frank, who was known for his aggression and unpleasant behavior. One night, Sharon planned to leave Frank for a man she had met at her workplace. However, she was involved in a hit-and-run accident, and Frank claimed to be asleep during the incident. Sharon recovered in the hospital, but Frank soon banned her friends from visiting her without explanation. Five days after the accident, Sharon died from her injuries, and many were suspicious of Frank's strange behavior. The doctor classified her death as a homicide, and old bruises on Sharon's body raised suspicions. Frank attempted to claim her life insurance policy, but his aliases made it difficult. When he finally provided his real name, Frank Delano Floyd, his criminal history came to light. In 1962, Floyd was convicted of abducting and assaulting a four-year-old girl and escaped from the mental hospital where he was first placed. He robbed a bank the day after his escape and was arrested several times for attempting to abduct women. Floyd went on the run and used aliases to avoid capture until he was finally arrested in 1972. When he was released from prison in 1994, he began stalking Michael, the foster family he had placed with social services before going on the run. Despite insisting that Michael was his son, a DNA test revealed that he was not. The shocking story didn't end there, as Frank continued to stalk Michael and his foster parents in Oklahoma.00:10:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Cases With The Most INSANE Twists You've Ever Heard," the abduction of Michael Kennedy by Frank Floyd in 1994 is discussed. Frank demanded to see the principal, James Davis, at Michael's elementary school and, when denied access, pulled out a gun and threatened Davis. They left the school grounds, and Frank tied Davis to a tree before fleeing with Michael in his truck. The abduction remained a mystery for two months until Frank was found in Louisville, Kentucky, and arrested. However, there was no sign of Michael, and Frank refused to reveal his whereabouts.

During Frank's trial for kidnapping Michael in 1995, a shocking twist was revealed. Skeletal remains were found in Pinellas County, Florida, and identified as Cheryl Commesso, who had died from a beating and gunshot wounds to the head. Frank's truck, which had been abandoned in Kansas, contained photographs of a woman being assaulted and bound. The victim was later identified as Cheryl, and Frank was convicted of her murder and sentenced to the death penalty.

Another twist came to light when photos of Frank assaulting a young girl were discovered in the truck. These images were much older than the ones of Cheryl, leading to a search for the girl's identity. It wasn't until 2014 that her true identity was officially uncovered. The girl was revealed to be Sandra Chipman's oldest daughter, Suzanne Marrie Savarkis, whom Frank had taken and split up from her siblings. Frank had used an alias when marrying Sandra in the 1970s, and she was unaware of his true identity until many years later.00:15:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Cases With The Most INSANE Twists You've Ever Heard," the story of the Vilmon family is shared, focusing on the mysterious disappearance and murder of their young son, Gregory. The family, who appeared happy and successful, began receiving anonymous threatening letters and phone calls promising revenge against Jean-Marie, the father, four years prior to the incident. When Gregory disappeared in 1984, the threats intensified, and his body was later found in the Bayonne river, drowned with his hands and feet bound. The investigation led to the arrest of Jean-Marie's cousin, Bernard Laroche, based on handwriting analysis and a witness statement. However, the case took a shocking twist when it was discovered that the threatening letters may have been written by Gregory's own mother, Christine. Just days after this revelation, Jean-Marie confronted Laroche at his workplace, making a vow to kill him, but the true culprit behind the crime remained unclear.00:20:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Cases With The Most INSANE Twists You've Ever Heard," the case of Gregory Wilman's murder is discussed. Jean-Marie Wilman, determined to avenge his son's death, shot and killed his own cousin. Jean-Marie was convicted of murder and sentenced to five years in prison. However, Christine Wilman, Jean-Marie's wife, was also charged with the murder while pregnant with twins. She went on a hunger strike for 11 days and was eventually freed after an appeal found that she had been convicted with flimsy evidence. Tragically, Christine miscarried one of her babies upon her release and was not officially cleared of all charges until 1993. Jean-Marie served only two and a half years in prison. The case remained unsolved for decades, haunting France, and was reopened several times with new evidence, but none led to any convictions. The magistrate in charge of the first investigation took his own life due to the pressure and criticism he faced. The identity of the "crow" who wrote threatening letters to the family remains unknown, but police are currently using a new technology called stylometrics to identify the killer. The case of Nicholas Barclay, a troubled teenager with a reputation for fighting and skipping school, will be discussed next. He went missing in 1994, and few believed anything was amiss due to his reputation. However, it was later discovered that Nicholas had been living in Spain under a false identity since 1992. The why and how of his disappearance and return remain mysterious.00:25:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Cases With The Most INSANE Twists You've Ever Heard," the disappearance of 13-year-old Nicholas Barclay is discussed. When he went missing in 1994, many believed he had run away and would return soon. However, after not returning for an extended period, an investigation was finally initiated. Three years later, the Barclay family was told that Nicholas had been found alive in Lenati, Spain, having been taken by a child trafficking ring. Despite initial joy, things took an unusual turn when Nicholas appeared afraid of his sister and had dark hair and brown eyes instead of his original blonde hair and blue eyes. He claimed that his captors had changed his appearance to keep his identity a secret. However, a private investigator discovered that the man the Barclays believed to be Nicholas was actually a 23-year-old Frenchman when his fingerprints and DNA were analyzed. The family's relief at finally having Nicholas back was short-lived as the truth came to light.00:30:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Cases With The Most INSANE Twists You've Ever Heard," the case of notorious con artist Frederic Pierre Bourdon, also known as "The Chameleon," is discussed. Bourdon had over 500 different identities and impersonated Nicholas Barclay, a missing teen from Texas. Despite Bourdon's admission to being an imposter and his conviction for passport fraud and perjury, the Barclay family refused to believe he wasn't their missing son. The investigation raised questions about the family's behavior and their acceptance of Bourdon, with Bourdon himself later claiming they knew he wasn't Nicholas but pretended otherwise. The case took an even more shocking turn when it was suggested that the Barclays may have killed Nicholas or Jason and covered it up by accepting Bourdon as the real Nicholas. The private investigator believed this theory due to a phone call Jason made three months after Nicholas disappeared, which police believed was an attempt to make it seem like Nicholas was still alive. The case went cold, and Bourdon continued to steal identities across Europe. Nicholas has still never been found, but his story inspired the popular Netflix documentary "The Imposter."
