COLD CASE SOLVED: The Sarah Renard Mystery That Haunted Michigan for 30 Years

For 30 years, the disappearance of 20-year-old Sarah Renard haunted the quiet streets of Manistique, Michigan. What started as a routine walk home from her waitressing shift on a cold November night in 1979 turned into one of the most baffling missing person cases in small-town America. But in 2009, advanced DNA technology finally revealed a truth so shocking that it shattered an entire community's trust—the killer had been hiding in plain sight for three decades.

This is the story of how a beloved hardware store owner and Little League sponsor concealed his darkest secret while living among the very people he'd betrayed, and how modern forensic science reached back through time to deliver justice when hope had nearly died.
