1
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: She was just going to drill team practice, a teen girl, straight,

2
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: a student, on her way to school. I mean, what

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: could be wrong with that? The drill team, you know,

4
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: the girls and the outfits that do routines at football

5
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: and basketball games. Sarah Yarborough. Her body is found by

6
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: two twelve year old little boys playing just yards away

7
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: from the school. You think when you send your child

8
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: to school everything is okay, and then the case drags

9
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: on and her rape and murder go unsolved. What happened

10
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: to this teen girl, this beautiful girl scrubbed in sunshine?

11
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: Sarah Yarborough. I Nancy Grace. This is crime stories, and

12
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: I want justice. Crime stories with Nancy Grace. She was

13
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: the all American girl next door, A wholesome teenager with

14
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: long red curls. Sarah Yarborough had everything in front of her.

15
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: She was passionate about music, dance, art. Andrew remembers his

16
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: sister Sarah was always there when he needed her. She

17
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: was always willing to help me out. She's a, you know,

18
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: just thinking back, a gracious sister. But those good times

19
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: with Sarah would end in a harrowing way. It's just

20
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: it's crushing, Andrew remembers, He was just eleven years old

21
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: and playing in a Saturday morning soccer tournament when police

22
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: came to the game to speak to his parents. They

23
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: didn't tell my parents obviously what had happened yet, they

24
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: just had indicated that, you know, something was wrong and

25
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: they needed to come with them. Something was terribly wrong.

26
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: That morning, round eight am, Sarah pulled up to Federalway

27
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: High School to meet her cheerleading team. The girls were

28
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: about to leave for a competition, but Sarah never made

29
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: it on the bus. I, Maancy Grace, this is Crime Stories.

Speaker 1: dot Com investigative reporter Levi Page, What happened to Sarah Yarborough, Nancy.

39
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: It was December fourteen, a Saturday morning, and Sarah was

40
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: scheduled to go to a drill competition with her classmates

41
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: on the drill team, but she arrived at school. Her

42
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: car was there, but she was not. And then hours later,

43
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: that's when her body was discovered by two twelve year

44
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: old Where it was her body It was near the

45
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: parking lot in bushes. There were two twelve year old boys.

46
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: They were hanging out near the school. One of them

47
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: lives near the school, and they saw a man acting

48
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: strange in the bushes. They locked eyes with him and

49
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: he left, so they went to check out what's he doing.

50
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: So they went to the bushes near the parking lot

51
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: and they round her dead body. Take a listen to

52
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: our friend, Jason Materira. How did Sarah die? She was strangled.

53
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: In a shocking discovery, around the same time the cheerleaders

54
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: were waiting till the bus two boys find Sarah's body

55
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: lying just one hundred and fifty feet away from her

56
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: parked car in a brushy area near the high school.

57
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: Did anyone here Sarah scream a commotion, a scuffle. We

58
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: didn't have anybody that heard any screaming, but we didn't

59
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: have a jogger that saw our suspect interacting with Sarah's

60
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: body in the bushes. Strangled and reportedly sexually assaulted. Sarah

61
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: was left for dead in broad daylight. Did Sarah have

62
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: any enemies but she involved in drugs, the wrong crowd? No, yeah, no,

63
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: that wasn't. Definitely wasn't. Wasn't her And he scorned ex boyfriends. No,

64
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, there would be you know, nobody that she

65
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: would have any grievances with. And that's what's so difficult

66
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: to Joseph Scott Morgan, Professor forensics, author of Blood Beneath

67
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: My Feet. Why is it, Joe Scott Morgan, is so

68
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: much more difficult to solve a murder when the killer

69
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: is at random. Yeah, you don't have anything to start

70
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: with Nancy. The connectivity there, you know, where you don't

71
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: have these kind of impulsive events that occurred, you know,

72
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: like the reporter was talking about relative to relative to

73
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: impassioned events like scorned lovers, this sort of thing, running

74
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: with the wrong crowd. You're absent all of that. So

75
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: for investigators just from Jump Street, it's a real problem.

76
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: Daryl Cohen, former prosecutory inter City Atlanta now right now

77
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: and the defense attorney out of Atlanta, Daryl Cohen. You

78
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: throw in a random killing. It it's like looking for

79
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: a knee in a haystack. Explain well, because you have,

80
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: as Joseph's mentioned, you have no place to start. Where

81
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: you start as the person who was killed, and you

82
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: go from there and you look for whatever forensic evidence

83
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: there may be. You look to see, as mentioned before,

84
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: was she involved in drugs? Did she ask someone or

85
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: someone's who did not like her? You just start from nowhere,

86
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: and from nowhere you have to be somewhere, very very difficulty.

87
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: Do you keep saying did she run with a wrong crowd?

88
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: She didn't run with the wrong crowd. Why is it

89
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: so hard for all of you guys to well, not

90
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: you Sharah, and not you Karen start but I'm referring

91
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: to the men on this panel. You keep talking about

92
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: her or her or her her like somehow it's her fault.

93
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: I mean, leave my page. Crime online dot Com investigative reporter.

94
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: Tell me about this little girl, Sarah Yarborough. She's just sixteen.

95
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: How bad could she be? She was a sixteen year

96
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: old straight a student on the Honor Roll and was

97
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: a member of the drill team. And everyone that has

98
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: commented on her that knew her personally said that she

99
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: was extremely nice and a very nice young woman with

100
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: a very bright future ahead of her. Listen. She was

101
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: excited about going to college. She had big hopes and

102
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: big dreams. She was a great sister. She's a great daughter,

103
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: Laura Yarborough's daughter. On the morning of December fourteenth, nineteen

104
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: ninety one, she arrived early at Federal Way High School

105
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: so she could meet up with her drill team, but

106
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: that never happened. Just after nine am, two twelve year

107
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: old kids were cutting through this high school and saw

108
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: a mail walking out of the bushes at the school.

109
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: After he walked away, they went into the bush to

110
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: look around, and there they found Sarah's body. Sarah had

111
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: been murdered. You know that upset me. When I first

112
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: found out about it. I went over to our high

113
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: school where I was a cheerleader. I ended up being

114
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: a cheerleader because I was the only girl cut off

115
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: the basketball team. Out of everybody that tried out, one

116
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: person got cut me and the only thing left was cheerleading.

117
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: So I did it. I did it. For five years,

118
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: and long story short, there were a million times I

119
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: would go over there all by myself and paint posters

120
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: and all stories was set up, equipment, all sorts of stuff,

121
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: all alone, me and my little Toyota my dad mom

122
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: gave me in a place it was totally surrounded by trees.

123
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: Never thought a thing about it. And now Daryl Cohen,

124
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: mister Ditchie run with the wrong crowd. Daryl Cohen, my

125
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: little Lucy and John David R. Twelve. That means this girl,

126
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: it's just a couple of years older than them. And

127
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: let me just say, hell no, nobody is quote running

128
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: with the wrong crowd. To see what you did. You

129
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,599
Speaker 1: made me curse, all right, you made me say h

130
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: ebl Daryl Cohen, this girl's scrubbed in sunshine. Yes, but Nancy,

131
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: you have to look at it. I'm not saying or

132
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: even intimating that you ran with the wrong crowd. But

133
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: a good investigator he or she has to look and

134
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: see everything and start ruling it out. This girl was

135
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 1: obviously killed by a psychopath who just was going to

136
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: find whoever was near. Take a listen to our friend

137
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: Jason Materira, the finlent and random murder grip the quiet

138
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: community of Federalway, Washington, with fear. What was the atmosphere

139
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: like after Sarah turned him dead? It changesting afterwards. I

140
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: think people were much more conscious about being in groups,

141
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: not being alone. Ted Bow would know about those changes firsthand.

142
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: That's because he went to high school with Sarah all

143
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: those years ago. Did you know her? I did? I

144
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: knew who she was. He's here in the hallway and

145
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: she was on the drill team, can't miss the red hair.

146
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: And in an ironic twist, he's now the sheriff's captain

147
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: heading up the team in charge of solving the crime.

148
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: This is the case I would be the most important

149
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: for me as I look at the wall, and not

150
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: to discount the other cases, but that's when I have

151
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: a personal tie to It means something to me to

152
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: be able to say that while I was here, we

153
00:10:38,640 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 1: solve business crime stories with Nancy Grace. In a shocking discovery,

154
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: around the same time the cheerleaders were waiting to load

155
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: the bus, two boys find Sarah's body flying just one

156
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty feet away from her parked car in

157
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: a brushy area near the high school. Did anyone here

158
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: Sarah scream a commotion, a scuffle. We didn't have anybody

159
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: that heard any screaming, But we didn't have a jogger

160
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: that saw our suspect interacting with Sarah's body in the bushes.

161
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: Strangled and reportedly sexually assaulted. Sarah was left for dead

162
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: in broad daylight. Did Sarah have any enemies, machine involved

163
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: and drugs the wrong crowd? No, yeah, no, that wasn't

164
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: definitely wasn't. Wasn't her any scorned ex boyfriends? No, you know,

165
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: there would be nobody that she would have any grievances with.

166
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: You were hearing Crime Watch dealis Jason Mateia Sarah Yarborough

167
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: just sixteen years old, the All American girl next door

168
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: joining me an all star panel. Darrel Cohen, former prosecutor

169
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: now defense attorney. I agree with you and Joe Scott

170
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: and that you have to look. You have to look everywhere,

171
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: and typically, Joe Scott, you start with, for instance, the husband,

172
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: the boyfriend, the lover, the ex. This is a sixteen

173
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: year old girl, So there's no husband or lover, but

174
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: a boyfriend, somebody she rejected, somebody that has a crush

175
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: on her. Then if there's nobody there, you look to

176
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: the family, the dad, the stepfather, the weird uncle, if

177
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: there is one. Then you move out further and further,

178
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: the grandfather, the great grandfather, relatives, cousins. Then you go

179
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 1: to the school or was there a janitor, was there

180
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: a yard man, was there a teacher? Was there somebody

181
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: that came in contact with her? Right, that's where you start.

182
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: But here we're getting nowhere. Yeah, absolutely, And you know,

183
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: going back to the high school. That's that's an interesting

184
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: thing in Nancy, because here we had this young girl

185
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: that was supposed to meet up with her drill team

186
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: to go in practice and or to go to a game.

187
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: And it's it's striking to me that an individual would

188
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: attack this young girl unless they had knowledge of the

189
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: fact that this is where they would gather. Maybe they

190
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: had four knowledge, maybe they were watching from a distance

191
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: the entire time. And that's what makes this doubly horrific

192
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: because this is a total stranger. Apparently there's no connection

193
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: for her relative to violence or somebody that would be

194
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: violence in her sphere. So that that's the place that

195
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: the investor sators would have to start. You know what

196
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: she just brought to mind, You brought to mind a

197
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: scene out of a lion king where the hyaenas are

198
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: just waiting at the edge of the light for their

199
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: chance to pounce. That's what's making this so difficult, the

200
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: random nature of this murder. Listen, The violent and random

201
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: murder gripped the quiet community of Federal Way, Washington with fear.

202
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: What was the atmosphere like after Sarah turned him dead?

203
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: It changes things afterwards. I think people were much more

204
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: conscious about being in groups, not being alone. Ted Bow

205
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: would know about those changes firsthand. That's because he went

206
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: to high school with Sarah all those years ago. Did

207
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: you know her? I did. I knew who she was.

208
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: He's here in the hallway and she was on the

209
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: drill team, can't miss the red hair. And in an

210
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: ironic twist, he's now the sheriff's captain heading up the

211
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: team in charge of solving the crime. This is the

212
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: case I would be the most important for me as

213
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: I look at the wall, and not to discount the

214
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: other cases, but it's when I have a personal tie

215
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: to it means something to me to be able to

216
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: say that while I was here, we solved this case.

217
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: Following Sarah's murder, there was a massive manhood. Over twenty

218
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: five hundred tips poured in and most importantly, invaluable physical

219
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: evidence was collected from the crime scene. Any DNA recovered

220
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: at the scene that it wasn't sarahs Yes, We had

221
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: a full male profile from the scene, full mail profile. Yes.

222
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: Having been able to match this DNA to anyone else. No,

223
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: there's been a several samples submitted over the years, but

224
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: no matches. Over the years, there have been only a

225
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: few persons of interest identified, but no arrests ever made.

226
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: What stood out to these individuals about the person leaving

227
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: the bush there was an age range of probably maybe

228
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: like a late teenager, early twenties. They thought he had

229
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: kind of shaggy, dirty blonde hair. Now we know there's

230
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: a high likelihood he has blue eyes. With that description,

231
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: forensic artist drew a composite of the killer. But even

232
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: with that sketch, the mystery man's identity elooted cops. It

233
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: just seemed like a very solvable case from the beginning,

234
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: and I had a lot of media exposure, a lot

235
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: of community interests. After thousands of hours of investigation, much

236
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: to the frustration of detectives, the case froze over. You're

237
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: hearing our friends at Crime Watch Daily as Jason Materia,

238
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: It's amazing to me that you can get that type

239
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: of an idea on a perpetrator, a rapist, and murderer

240
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: that you can't find with me, Cheryl a Point, genetic genealogist,

241
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: with the gene hunter Cheryl a Point. They can't identify

242
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: the killer from the DNA he leaves on the body

243
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: of this young girl, but they can tell me he's

244
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: got blue eyes. How well, Nancy. Again, DNA is an

245
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: amazing tool and through different testing that we do now

246
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: we can actually get profiles of your ancestors, your heritage,

247
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: your eye color, things like that that really help us

248
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: to narrow down these criminals. As a matter of fact,

249
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: there were lots and lots of theories about who murdered

250
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: young Sarah Yarborough. Any reason to believe the suspect is

251
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: still living in Washington State. There's theories suspect could have

252
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: been passing through visiting the area. The suspect could be dead.

253
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 1: Logic would cause you to believe that if you did

254
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: this offense, that you would end up in a felon

255
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 1: data bank somewhere. Yeah, we've had no matches over all

256
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: these years, but detectives never gave up Pope, even scouring

257
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: an ancestry database going all the way back to the

258
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: birth of America and hopes of finding a match to

259
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: that DNA. There was a direct relationship to a Fullers

260
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,959
Speaker 1: that came over on the Mayflower, which generated some tips.

261
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: We looked at some local people with the last name

262
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,959
Speaker 1: that we eliminated through DNA. When you realize this, do

263
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: you think, wow, this is the big break in the case. Yeah.

264
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: At the time we thought, you know, it was a

265
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: huge break. But once again we were able to take

266
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: DNA from everybody and they were all eliminated. Cops even

267
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: manage to convince people to give their DNA and their

268
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: attempt to find who murdered Sarah Yarborough take a listen

269
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: to this. Could all those dead ends finally lead somewhere? Now,

270
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: nearly three decades later, that rough sketch has been replaced

271
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: with a new h progression portrait. The technology called polymorphism

272
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: uses DNA markers from this suspected killer to envision what

273
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: he would look like. Now you have DNA recovered at

274
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: the scene, you have reliable here as eyewitnesses, you have

275
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: this age progression You have a lot to go on,

276
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: and yet still nothing. That must be incredibly frustrating. It

277
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: is frustrating. It's all there. If we can identify the suspect,

278
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: this is a solvable case. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace,

279
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 1: could all those dead ends finally lead somewhere. Now, nearly

280
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: three decades later, that rough sketch has been replaced with

281
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: a new age progression portrait. The technology called polymorphism uses

282
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: DNA a markers from this suspected killer to envision what

283
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: he would look like. Now you have DNA recovered at

284
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 1: the scene, you have reliable here as eyewitnesses, you have

285
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: this age progression. You have a lot to go on,

286
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: and yet still nothing. That must be incredibly frustrating. It

287
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: is frustrating. It's all there. If we can identify the suspect,

288
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: this is a solvable case. We don't need a confession

289
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: to solve it. We have everything is there to get

290
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: us to the finish line. You know what, We're hearing

291
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: our friends at Crime Much Dealing, and they're talking about

292
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: a process called polymorphism where you basically use DNA found

293
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: on the victim's body to create a sketch like a

294
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 1: composite sketch to Cheryl a point of joining me genetic

295
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:52,479
Speaker 1: genealogists with the gene hunter. What is polymorphism, Well, Nancy,

296
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: it is actually where the DNA is used to basically

297
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: draw a picture of what a person may actually look like,

298
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: and in this case, it gave a picture of what

299
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: they thought the suspect looked like, and it gives law

300
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: enforcement a lead to hopefully be able to further track

301
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: down a perpetrator. To Karen Start Psychologists, you can find

302
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: her at karen Start dot com. She's joining us today

303
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: out of Manhattan, Karen, this has got to be pure

304
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: hell for the parents to lose their daughter, a teen girl,

305
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 1: straight a student, scrubbed in sunshine, going to drill practice,

306
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: and then to suddenly be confronted with a composite sketch

307
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: including blue eyes, gotten from the DNA off your dead

308
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: daughter's body. It's pure hell. You're absolutely right, Nancy. But

309
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: the worst hell is the fact that they can see

310
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: what this perpetrator probably look like, and yet they're unable

311
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: to have this guy be captured too. Had any details

312
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: to know that somebody is walking free who murdered their daughter,

313
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: so it would not change the fact that she was dead,

314
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: but at least they could see somebody go to trial,

315
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 1: they would understand what happened to Joseph Scott Morgan, Professor Forensics,

316
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: Jacksonville State University, author of Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon. Jesscott,

317
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: have you ever dealt with polymorphism? Have you ever seen

318
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: it done? I've not personally dealt with it as a practitioner, Nancy,

319
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: but yeah, I have friends who are DNA technologist and

320
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: DNA scientists that have and it's an amazing technology because

321
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: you're literally, I don't want to say creating, but you're

322
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: literally generating a profile of an individual that, in our

323
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 1: normal understanding, like in our normal world, does not exist.

324
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: You know, you're kind of taking the biological sample that's

325
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: left behind, and those little markers that are along the

326
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: the DNA molecule they are actually in. What they do

327
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: is this idea of individualism. It gives an individual specific characteristics.

328
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: And Nancy, what's so intriguing about this that what goes

329
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: to the heart of this case is what a fantastic

330
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: job that the police did with this case. Because Nancy,

331
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: this is back in nineteen ninety one, this is prior

332
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: to OJ and all of that stuff we went through,

333
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: and they were able to retain retain enough of this

334
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: biological sample that they could come back in modern times

335
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: and do this specific kind of testing. They preserved this evidence,

336
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: which by the way, is very very fragile. To leavi

337
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: Page Crime online dot Com investigative reporter, obviously there was

338
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: a DNA on the body of Sarah Yarborough. What was

339
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: it touched DNA. Wait, they didn't have touch DNA in

340
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one. It was actually seemon Nancy the person

341
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: that raped her actually had used her penny, tied it

342
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: around her and strangled her and then beat her. And

343
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 1: there was semen on her jacket, the pantyhose and on

344
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: at the scene of the crime. So that's the DNA

345
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: that was collected. You know what, as much as I

346
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: don't want hearing at Levi Page, I'm glad you said

347
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: that because as all of us really is technicians. You know,

348
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: a lot of people on the panel have fancy degrees

349
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: and training, but we're technicians and seeking justice. And what

350
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: you just said, we are talking about a little girl,

351
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: sixteen year old who's gone back to her high school

352
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 1: to go to drill practice. She's on the drill team

353
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: straight a student beloved and Levi Page just explained the

354
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: way that she was raped and murdered. Her bruised and

355
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: beaten body found by two twelve year old little boys playing.

356
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: So Cheryl point with my genetic genealogists with the gene hunter.

357
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: So we have DNA. Very often everybody thinks that's the

358
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: end of the story. So there's DnaA we saw all

359
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: the case. It's not that easy. You may get DNA,

360
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 1: but you gotta have somebody to match it up to

361
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: test Nancy. So what happens here. The forensic DNA testing

362
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: that is done in those cases that's used in the

363
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: CODA system is a different type of DNA testing and

364
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: it's not able to be cross referenced with the direct

365
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: to consumer DNA test that we as genetic genealogists us.

366
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: So basically, only people who have been DNA tested because

367
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: of criminal activity will be in the CODA system. But

368
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: there is a great chance that a relative of one

369
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: of these criminals has DNA tested with a direct to

370
00:25:54,880 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 1: consumer company like family Tree DNA or Ancestry, And it's

371
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: the same process that we use to find biological families

372
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: of adoptees. This genetic genealogy is bringing new hope to

373
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: cases that have gone cold and been unsolable for years.

374
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: Just got very quickly. What is codis codas this national

375
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 1: database that is a repository for genetic material that are

376
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: recovered at crime scenes. Now this can either go and

377
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: also from sampling of individuals that are known offenders. What's

378
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: curious about this, Nancy, is that they're database actually splits

379
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: into you have known offenders and then you have what

380
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: they use refer to as the forensic offenders, which are

381
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: those samples that they that they have that are in

382
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: this huge pool of recovered DNA where they don't have

383
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: attachments to you know, where you have multiple You might

384
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: have an offender that has offended over and over again,

385
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: but they have not yet arrested this individual, So these

386
00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: are unknown offenders, but you have their DNA markers. Crime

387
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: stories with Nancy Grace through the years, suspects sketches were

388
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: produced and updated, most recently in twenty eighteen based on

389
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: DNA evidence collected at the scene. Late last night, Nicholas,

390
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: who goes by his middle name Leon, was booked into

391
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: the King County Jail on suspicion of homicide. This mugshot

392
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: of Nicholas is from a nineteen ninety four King County

393
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: case when he was charged with molesting a six year

394
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: old girl. Because he pleaded guilty to assault in that case,

395
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: his DNA was not collected, but based on a DNA

396
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 1: profile home through the years and genealogy, Nicholas and his

397
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: brother were identified as possible suspects. The brother was ruled out,

398
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 1: so detectives started watching Leon. Over the last weekend, detectives

399
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 1: from the Sheriff's office surveiled the subject and collected discarded

400
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: items containing his DNA. According to charging documents, the discarded

401
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: items were two cigarettes and a napkin. The collected DNA

402
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: was processed in a rush earlier this week, and the

403
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: Washington State Patrol Crime Lab determined it matched the younger

404
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 1: brother who was arrested at a Kent business last night.

405
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 1: So there you have it. You are hearing from our

406
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: friend Amy Clancy at ki R O seven, the case

407
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 1: cracked by DNA left on cigarette butts. This is my

408
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: question to leavipage Crime online dot com investigative reporter. This guy,

409
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: the suspect, Patrick Nicholas, now fifty five years old. That

410
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: would have made him about twenty four at the time

411
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: of the murder. He was already convicted of attempted rape

412
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: at the time Sarah was murdered. Why wasn't he on

413
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: the corps radar? Yes? Eight years before her murder, in

414
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty three, he approached a young woman. She was

415
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: in her car. He had a knife. He forced her out,

416
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: told her to take off all of her clothes. He

417
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: walked her to a river and he attempted to rape her,

418
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: but she fought back and jumped in the river and

419
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: swam away. He was arrested and played guilty to attempted

420
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: rape and he only served about four years in prison.

421
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: He was released in nineteen eighty seven. I guess in

422
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: that case there was no DNA, so he was not

423
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: in the code of Spike. Yes. And then two years

424
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: after Sarah's murder, he was arrested for allegedly molesting his

425
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: six year old stepdaughter, and that case was plied down

426
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: to a fourth degree assault, so again no DNA was collected.

427
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: And tonight we've also learned through probable cause documents that

428
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: detectives got a call last Friday from criminal genealogists saying

429
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: they had a possible lead detectives took that lead track

430
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: Nicholas over the weekend. They got his DNA from a

431
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: cigarette and a napkin that he happened to drop on

432
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: the ground. That DNA match what was found again almost

433
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: twenty eight years ago. This is why public servants do

434
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: their work. This is why your government officials support different,

435
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: all kinds of different layers of what King County government provides,

436
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: PC docs say. Patrick Nicholas was convicted for first degree

437
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: attempted rape in nineteen eighty three. He served four years

438
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: in prison at the time, but because DNA collection didn't

439
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: begin until nineteen ninety, his DNA was never collected. We've

440
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: also learned that the lead in this case was a

441
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: family tree analysis from Patrick Nicholas's brother, Edward. Edward is

442
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: a registered sex offender from a previous rape conviction, and

443
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: his DNA was the one in the system originally. But

444
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: it really speaks volume, guys, to the advanced technologies now

445
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: available to solve these crimes. Patrick Nicholas being held on

446
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: five million dollars bailed to you, Daryl Cohen, now that

447
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: he's been matched up through DNA, do you think that

448
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: will be strong enough to convict him? I think as

449
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: much as I detest cigarettes, I love cigarettes because the

450
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: fact that he put his DNA on a cigarette, not one,

451
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: but two will convict him absolutely. I think the jury,

452
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: when they hear everything, it has to be put yourself

453
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: in the jury's head, put yourself in the jury's eyes.

454
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: And if you paint the story this young girl who

455
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: was absolutely brutalized, and you paint the story with a

456
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: witness or two who may have seen him, the DNA

457
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: will be all that we need. This is what the

458
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: suspect looked like back in nineteen ninety one, according to

459
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: a then twelve year old boy who helped create this sketch,

460
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,959
Speaker 1: seeing evil face to face like that and knowing that

461
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: it's real, and this now grown man doesn't want Cairo

462
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: seven to identify him because his own children still don't

463
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: know about the trauma he experienced in December nineteen ninety

464
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: one when he and a friend, both twelve, discovered the

465
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: murdered body of sixteen year old Sarah Yarbrough and got

466
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,239
Speaker 1: a good look at the suspect. He stood up in

467
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: those bushes. You was probably about thirty maybe twenty five

468
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: yards away from us. At that point. We couldn't see

469
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: where Sarah was yet, So we walked the same way,

470
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: no cause for serious alarm yet until we got close

471
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: enough to where we could see, and then we ran

472
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: back to my house and called the police. Question again,

473
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: Explain to me Levi Page. How did they get the

474
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: DNA match on Patrick Nicholas, who actually lived not too

475
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: far away from the victim. Yes, he was living in

476
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: a dilapidated building, according to prosecutors. But they had DNA

477
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: in the form of seamen. They put it into a

478
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: database and they came back with results and one of

479
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: them matched his brother, who was a convicted criminal. His

480
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: DNA was in the database. So they tried to match

481
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: that DNA to the DNA found on Sarah's body. They

482
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: did not match. So they started surveilling Patrick Nicholas, who

483
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: was fifty five years old, and they started surveilling him.

484
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: They found him outside of a laundromat. He was talking

485
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: to people smoking cigarettes. He threw some trash away. They

486
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: went into the trash, got what he threw away, the cigarette,

487
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: the napkin. Then they matched the DNA that was found

488
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: on Sarah's body to him and he was arrested. It's

489
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: that tireless police work that Sarah's mom is thankful for

490
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: after almost twenty eight years, she heard the news she

491
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: thought she would never hear her daughter's accused killer had

492
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: been caught. Officers arrested fifty five year old Patrick Leon

493
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: Nicholas at a business in Kent on Wednesday night. King

494
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: County detect just believe Nicholas is the one who strangled

495
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: and killed Sarah Yarborough at a Federal Way High school

496
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 1: back on December fourteenth, nineteen ninety one. For years, Sarah's

497
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: mom lived with the pain of her daughter's death, but

498
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: also not knowing who killed her. She thanks detectives for

499
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: not giving up. I was really surprised. I actually I

500
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: wondered perhaps if the person was no longer living. I

501
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 1: just seemed unbelievable to me that he would still be around.

502
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: So but I have to say that the detectives have

503
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 1: never given up. It broke me as a young man,

504
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, havn't to come to grips with that. It's

505
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: it's a very, very horrible thing. After the brutal discovery,

506
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: the boy helped an artist create the first two suspects

507
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: sketches and lived in fear until earlier this month, when

508
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: fifty five year old Patrick Leon Nicholas was arrested and

509
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: arged with the murder of Sarah Yarborough. That's an amazing

510
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: amount of peace given to me. Were you afraid of

511
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,959
Speaker 1: him growing up? Oh? Absolutely? You were in court last

512
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: week when he appeared. Why did you go? I had

513
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: to see that man in handcuffs in custody with my

514
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: own two eyes. Was that the man you saw that

515
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: day in nineteen ninety one? Absolutely, I have no doubt

516
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: about it. It's like we've been carrying around this big

517
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: weight for all these years and finally have been able

518
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: to set it down. Like That's how I felt when

519
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: I left that courtroom after seeing him in custody. The

520
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: man told me for years, detectives would bring him photo

521
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: montages of potential suspects, hoping that he could identify somebody,

522
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: and he said he always felt bad that he couldn't.

523
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: He said he didn't until he was in court last

524
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,439
Speaker 1: week and saw Nicholas, and he said, that's the guy.

525
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: That's how certain he is. We wait as justice unfalls.
