Episode 94: The Murder of Sarah Yarborough

Note: episode content begins just after the 10min mark (if you don't like football talk)

16 year old Sarah Yarborough was assaulted and murdered on the grounds of Federal Way High School in December of 1991.  Despite hundreds of leads and ample personnel assigned to her case, Sarah's case was not solved until just this last year, thanks to genetic genealogy.
