Sanitation worker who found influencer Alexis Sharkey’s body initially thought it was ‘a mannequin’
THE sanitation worker who found Instagram model Alexis Sharkey's body by the side of the road initially thought it was a "mannequin."
The Texas influencer's naked body was spotted on the side of the road about three miles from her home on November 27.
"He said he thought he'd saw a body or a mannequin," Richardson said. "He wasn't too sure."
"He wasn't going to stop because he was scared of whatever the case may be, so he asked me to come out there to check it out."
Richardson said he went out to meet the employee and they drove back to where he'd spotted the body earlier.
"The way in which she was found - my child would never do that to herself," she said.
He claims that the last time he saw her, he told her not to drive because she was under the influence.
"I just told her she couldn't drive under the influence," said Sharkey. "She left anyhow. This is where we're at."
Her cause of death has not been determined yet.
