Throughout their relationship, Sharples incessantly questioned the victim about her location, the people she was with, and how she had arrived there. He would meticulously scrutinise the evidence she presented and interrogate any discrepancies. Additionally, he would follow her to the shops and insist on accompanying her when she visited friends, waiting outside until she was finished.
