One Story I Wrote Haunted Me. So I Kept Chasing It Down

A journalist's decades-old investigation into the unsolved murder of 12-year-old Sarah Pryor has culminated in a new podcast, "Devil's Quarry," released on May 21, 2024. The podcast revisits the 1994 case, aiming to uncover new leads and potentially identify the killer who has evaded justice for 30 years. The journalist, who first covered the story as a young reporter for the "Herald-Times," felt compelled to return to the case after realizing the initial investigation may have missed crucial details. The podcast features interviews with individuals connected to the case, including Sarah's family, law enforcement officials involved at the time, and potential witnesses. It delves into the complexities of the original investigation, highlighting forensic limitations and procedural challenges of the 1990s. The narrative structure of "Devil's Quarry" is designed to engage listeners and encourage them to contribute any information they might possess. The journalist hopes that by bringing renewed public attention to the cold case, new evidence will emerge, offering closure to Sarah's family and bringing the perpetrator to justice. The podcast is available on major podcast platforms, including Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
