On Wednesday she was sunning herself on the beach at Acapulco.
Marketing manager Sharon Sargeant, the girlfriend of private eye Frank Monte is now on a plane after a four hour taxi trip from Acapulco to Mexico City and a flight from there to Los Angeles where she was finally able to get a seat on a Qantas jet back to Sydney.
Sharon has been watching in alarm as flood waters surged through Queensland and in Northern NSW and in particular Tenterfield where members of her family live. On Wednesday she reckoned she could wait no longer and decided to head home and see if she could help out in the devastated flood areas.
Sharon may be pleased with a newspaper article that will greet her upon arrival. The Eastern Suburb's social bible, Latte Life has commented on her appearance at the Black & White charity luncheon for Christian the Lion's John Rendall in November last year.

| Demure ! |
According to the tabloid : "thumbs up to a demure "Shazza" at BW Women's Luncheon
, if she hadn't been with Mr Monte we may not have recognised her."
Demure ?. We present a couple of snaps of Sharon from the lunch.
Meanwhile Frank Monte is spending a few more days in Acapulco before he heads to Italy. Monte has an appointment with the powerful AntiMafia Commission in Rome which investigates "organised crime of the Mafia type" and the dreaded Camorra and Ndrhangeta clans.
When the Shuttle managed to get Monte on the telephone today we asked him if his Rome visit was in connection with new claims by Italian investigative reporter Gianluigi Nuzzi that Gianni Versace was murdered by the mafia.
"I can't discuss anything with you " said Monte. "excuse me, I have to take another call " he said before hanging up !
