Details:
At ten years old, Sarah gave out Pop-Tarts to people waiting at a local bus stop. As a teen, she was a Special Olympics swimmer, bowler, and roller-skater and rode on a float in the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival. She volunteered at a local food and clothing pantry. She loved animals, so she volunteered at the animal shelter. As an adult, she used to spend her Social Security check on buying people steak dinners at a restaurant.
When she moved out, her family worried that she would be taken advantage of because of her kind and trusting nature. She had strong political opinions, backing the Affordable Care Act on social media.
Sarah was living in a homeless encampment when she died. Her ex-boyfriend killed her by choking, drowning, stabbing, and bludgeoning. They had recently broken up.
