Olivia Benson, her stepdaughter, questioned her in hopes of finding out more about her dead husband and Benson's birth father, Joseph Hollister, Sharon and Hollister having Simon as a child. She revealed one thing, and that was Hollister called Benson's mother Serena when finding out she gave birth to Benson, but Serena hung up and told Hollister to never call again.

Simon showed old photos of their family together to Benson, stating Hollister was a good father but struggled with depression. Hollister stopped raping because his libido was lost from anti-depressants. Sharon divorced Hollister and kicked him out when he endangered Simon. When the medication stopped working, Hollister turned to alcohol, then committed suicide by shooting himself with a revolver. (SVU: "Florida")
