On a cold December morning in 1991, Sarah Yarborough was murdered at her high school campus. Despite DNA evidence left at the crime scene and two eyewitnesses, Sarah’s case went cold. Correspondent Natalie Morales along with producers Chris Young Ritzen and Lauren Clark discuss how a man who’d been in and out of prison for crimes against women was able to slip through the cracks for decades, and that forensic genetic genealogy ultimately connected him to Sarah’s murder.
