Sarah Geer

Sarah Geer was a 13-year-old girl whose tragic murder in 1982 in Cloverdale, California, went unsolved for over four decades. She was last seen leaving a friend's house, and her body was discovered the following morning, leading to a cold case that remained open for years due to the limitations of forensic science at the time. In February 2024, genetic genealogy helped authorities identify her killer, bringing some measure of justice to her family and community.
