Arrest of James Unick (Cloverdale Police)
The Cloverdale Police Department has announced a major breakthrough in the decades-old Sarah Geer murder case. The cold case, dating back to the 1982 murder of 13-year-old Sarah Ann Geer, was solved after a male DNA profile was identified from the evidence with the use of modern DNA technology. The team successfully identified and apprehended 62-year-old James Unick of Willows, California as the DNA match. He has been taken into custody and is being booked into the Sonoma County Jail. The case had gone cold until it was reopened by former Cloverdale police chief Jason Ferguson three years ago, along with assistance from other organizations and a private investigator.
