Summary
http://linktr.ee/trueconsequences
Today's episode was written and researched by Jackie Moranty, preliminary research by Victoria Zellar.
The story of Sarah Beard was once the most well-known unsolved crime in New Mexico. Everyone knew her story. It was featured on Unsolved Mysteries in 1994, but since then, the episode was taken down and the story has been lost to time.
Her story is tangled and there’s a lot that goes into it. It’s still an open case and it’s worth remembering the events of December 8, 1988.
