Any thoughts as to if the girl belong to the Olios species?? She was found in a shed and brought to the nature facility that I work at and for the life of me cannot figure out what this is??

Giant Crab Spider
Definitely something from Sparassidae . I would lean toward Olios, but I'm not quite certain.
