Description
The trial against the alleged killer of Federal Way High School student Sarah Yarborough begins Monday, over three decades after she was killed.
Sarah Yarborough, 16, was found dead at her high school on Dec. 14, 1991, around 9:20 a.m.
Her body was discovered by two boys - a 12-year-old and 13-year-old who took a shortcut through bushes at the school. The boys and another jogger who was near the scene at the time of the murder were able to help investigators create a composite sketch of the suspect.
In 2019, over 30 years after her murder, an arrest was made in the case. Patrick Leon Nicholas, who was 55 at the time of his arrest and 27 when he allegedly killed Yarborough was charged with first-degree murder and rape.
