The Abandoned Vehicle
When police found Sarah Harlow’s sedan idling on the shoulder of Route 47, the scene seemed suspicious from the start:
-
Driver’s door slightly ajar
-
Purse and phone still inside
-
Half-drunk coffee in the cupholder, still warm
But it was the passenger seat that told the real story.
The Forensic Breakthrough
Investigators discovered:
-
Muddy boot prints on the floor mat (size 11, not Sarah’s)
-
A single black glove wedged between seats
-
Blood spatter on the headrest—later matched to Sarah’s DNA
Most damning? Security footage from a gas station 9 miles back showed a figure ducking into her car as she paid inside.
The Chilling Timeline
-
6:32 AM – Sarah buys coffee at QuickStop
-
6:38 AM – Man enters her unlocked vehicle
-
6:47 AM – Car speeds past traffic cam 14 miles east
-
7:12 AM – Vehicle found abandoned
The Unsettling Connection
The glove contained traces of:
-
Industrial lubricant used at a local warehouse
-
Peanut oil matching a brand sold only at PriceMart
Both clues led to Derek Voss, a stocker with:
✅ Prior kidnapping charge (pleaded down)
✅ Size 11 work boots
✅ A PriceMart employee discount card
The Search Continues
Despite arresting Voss, Sarah remains missing. Her sister told reporters:
“That glove proves she fought. We just need one person who saw something to come forward.”
A $75,000 reward is offered for information leading to her recovery.
