About this episode

Our first card this week is Sarah Neal, the 6 of Diamonds from Nebraska. 

16-year-old Sarah was not your typical teen. She was a multisport high school athlete who participated in basketball, softball, and track. She was a pretty darn good chess player, too.

But in June of 2005, somebody took all that Sarah loved away from her. And they took Sarah away from everyone who loved her. 19 years later, the police are still trying to catch her killer, and they need your help.

  • If you know anything about the murder of Sarah Neal in Omaha, Nebraska, on June 21, 2005, please call the Omaha, Nebraska Homicide Unit at 402-444-5656, or the Omaha Police Department at 402-444-3765. You can also anonymously report information to Omaha Crime Stoppers at 402-444-7867, or on their website.
