She was burned in a car, I cannot remember exactly how she died first......maybe strangulation?? She is buried at Charles Memorial Gardens, way in the back, close to where my mother is buried. I see her grave all the time, and think about the horrible way she died. I think it was around 1987?? I will check next time I go.......... :huggy:

I remember more now.......there was speculation about her old boyfriend killing her, but because the car was burned with her inside, they never could prove who did it. It happened in a field in Charlotte Hall, about the area where the Urgent Care center is now, behind McDonalds. She was a couple of years younger than me, but I still remember her from high school. Very sweet girl.

I am glad to hear her kids are okay........ :huggy: I know they were very little when it happened. It must be difficult for them knowing that their mom's killer was never brought the justice. Her grave is very well maintained, fresh flowers often, and always decorated for the holidays. Her kids should be proud, they had a very sweet mom, and just like alot of folks she just trusted the wrong person.

The cemetary is the one outside of Leonardtown, right by True Value. She graduated from Chopticon I believe in '84, and killed around '87. I remember it happened in the early evening, a police officer was sitting outside of McDonalds eating and noticed smoke coming a field behind there, close to a barn. When he went to investigate, he saw the burning car, but by the time the fire was out most of the evidence that could have been collected was burned with her inside the car.

I'm thinking it was '91, because it was in the news when I moved here. Of course, they may have just been looking for clues at the time.

I graduated in 1983 and I think it was closer to that time that she was killed. In 91, did they catch the guy who did it or something? Maybe that is when it was profiled on Unsolved Mysteries? I think this because I was taking classes in LaPlata and my dad was scared to death. He always wanted to know which roads I travelled, and made me keep a "billy club" thing-y in the car. I think her car broke down. And didn't they catch the guy?

Give or take a few years. But definitely in the 90's I think.

The sheriff elections in St. Mary's have been sickening for as long as I can remember. Factions within the sheriff's department line up behind the candidates. The problem is worse when the candidates are active deputies. The result is that nothing gets done, because of all the internal politics. At one point, the department had something like three or four unsolved murders on its hands, in a county that probably has half a dozen a year. It's been 10 years and the Sara Sapp murder is still unsolved.

From the Post archives:

In a case that long has confounded state police investigators, the body of Sara Marie Sapp was discovered about 7:30 p.m. June 26, 1992. Her body had been set on fire using a flammable liquid; her car, a white Ford Tempo parked about 40 feet away, also was burning. The first officers on the scene initially believed the death to have been a suicide, but forensic evidence later contradicted that conclusion. The medical examiner's office eventually ruled the death a homicide, and the cause of death asphyxiation.

Gosh, I guess the memory is the first thing to go. I asked my dad and he said that there was another murder, a young woman whose car broke down and 2 guys stopped and beat and tortured her, eventually killing her. That is what made him paranoid about me driving long ways to college.....but neither one of us can remember her name. He did say the 2 guys who did it were caught and that by his reckoning they would have been out of jail (he is not sure if paroled or just out) around the time when I was 30. He thinks. Obviously, Dad is a case for clean living. His memory is much better than mine is....
