Over forty years after the tragic death of 13-year-old Sara Ann Geer, the trial of her suspected killer, James Unick, is officially underway in Sonoma County.
According to the Press Democrat, prosecutors say modern DNA technology finally linked the 64-year-old to the 1982 cold case—Cloverdale’s first-ever homicide—while the defense argues that DNA alone isn’t enough for a conviction.
Jurors heard emotional testimony this week about the small-town community that was shattered decades ago, with the trial expected to continue through February as more evidence is revealed.
