Today, we delve into the tragic story of Sarah Stern, a young woman whose life was cut short by a sinister betrayal.
On December 3rd, 2016, an abandoned car was found in Neptune City, leading to a harrowing investigation that uncovered a web of deceit and murder. Sarah Stern, a vibrant 19-year-old with dreams of moving to Canada, vanished without a trace. Her best friend, Liam McAtasney, and his twin brother Seamus, along with their friend Preston, were quickly drawn into the spotlight of suspicion.
As police pieced together Sarah's last moments, a shocking motive emerged: greed. Liam's obsession with the money Sarah inherited from her mother drove him to a cold-blooded plan to kill his childhood friend. With the help of an undercover operation involving a wired confession, the truth came to light.
In a gripping courtroom battle, Liam's defense tried to cast doubt, but the jury saw through the lies. Liam was sentenced to life in prison, while Preston, who confessed to his part in the crime, received 18 years.
Sarah's body has never been found, but her legacy lives on through a scholarship set up by her father. Join us as we unravel this chilling tale of friendship turned fatal.
