On saturday, june 7, 2014 single mom, sarah goode, didn show up to a Family Birthday Party where she was supposed t pick up her 4yearold daughte jocelyn. No one in the famil could reach her all day. Her sister lizzy says she knew something was terribly wrong when sarah didnt respond to messages that her daughter was asking for her jocelyns like, oh, i miss my mom. I said, oh well cal her. And we called her and it went to voice mail. Thats whe i i just thought somethin was not right because she woul always answer, especially if you mentioned jocelyn. Its heartbreaking when you think that a little girl wants to talk to her mom and you cant find her uhhuh. When sarah still hadnt appeared by Sunday Afternoon Lizzy went to the Police Station to report her missing. I said, i need to report her now. That report set things in motion. Prosecutor Janet Albertson, since retired, wa brought on to this missing persons case from the beginning, learned that on the day sarah was a noshow at the party, a woman had spotted a blue bmw abandoned next to a wooded lot a Police Officer ha responded to that Location Thinking that maybe this is stolen car, the plates were were bent. Albertson says the bmw wa found less than a mile fro sarahs mothers house where sarah and jocelyn also lived when the officer ran th plate number, it came back t sarah goode with an address. And after that, he went to sarahs home and there was nobody there because as we would later learn, they were a the Birthday Party around the same time lizz was at the Police Station, tha officer noticed the abandone car was still in the same spot the Officer Radios it i again. And at this point now sarahs family had reported he missing. So things were really clicking now exactly. And once it came back as a missing person, well now theyve got a reason t really Pay Attention and her beloved car was the biggest clue. Detectives neede the spare key, so they heade over to sarahs house. Her sister jennifer was there an she desperately wanted to know where was the car . I just remember overhearing one detective tell the other detective that the car is in Eagle Estates. And then i wa on the phone with nick. An thats when i told him like he said the Eagle Estates then we all followed them you went straight there t where the car was . Right they told us not to g follow them and i said i don care if you have to arrest me. Im following you. Eagle estates was a place they knew well because it wa so close by. A large entourage of sarahs family headed ove there and tried to approach he bmw, but police wouldnt let them get too close what was that like, seein her car there . What did that tell you it was scary. It was hard and scary. They wouldnt let us go to it they would not let us nea it the police had a job to do, so things got heated. Sarah sisters say they shouted a detectives and detective shouted back we were yelling at them. Was like, open the trunk. Yeah, we were yelling they were like, were no touching it. Is she in there . Were not doing anything until you leave. They were yelling at us you guys have to leave. But did you say, no, im not leaving . Or did you leave . Yeah. We did, but then they threatened they would arrest us. So obviously we dont want to be arrested. So we we di leave. And we kind of left kind of because we kept on circling around in our cars instead o our feet. But i wasnt going t leave her if she was in there. Later that night, the famil finally got some answers detectives told them, sarah wa not in the car were you trying to hold ont hope yeah. Trying to, yeah hope turned to action, an the family got organized in big way. Everybody came to my house. And then we we just started searching, just anywhere w thought to even just go, w just went. How many Search Volunteer are we talking about there was at least 200 th first day. Pretty humbling because you can see how many people that she touched and cared about her yeah. We just put it together i an hour on, you know, social media and this is how many, ho many people we have right now. But theres more people on the way and theres already people searching. Beyond searching, this larg family started its own investigation, making calls an combing through social media checking facebook, making sure she didnt update anything the professional detectives were also looking at sarahs online life, Piecing Togethe clues from the Friday Night Sh went missing. They started wit that picture she posted on instagram of her freshly painted nails. They learned sh was at nicks house around 6 00pm. And from the picture they could see what she wa wearing. She had on tank tops an this very unique tank top over it with an owl face and he little headband. Police then confirmed tha after sarah kissed her daughte goodbye and left her brotherinlaws house, sh drove to a friends place.

Basically saying, are are you home okay . And she responds, yes. And we know thats on jasons phone, jasons phone, because the police have taken his phone to to download the information all this seemed routine then something ominous. On sarahs twitter feed, he brotherinlaw nick learne that days before sarah wen missing she had tweeted, so you know i live on a dead end. I see you creepin. and a second one, getting threatene for days now. Is that the ne thing to do . The dead end part really wa the one that got to me. Like was someone following her .

Ver creepy no one had any idea who o what she was referring to. There were so many questions and sarahs brotherinlaw wanted answers.
