Disappearance of Sara Wood
Sara Anne Wood is a missing woman who was last seen on August 18, 1993.
Disappearance: The last time that Wood was seen was when she was riding her bicycle at 2:30pm after leaving a church in Frankfort, New York. During the evening that wood disappeared her bicycle, and her coloring book and crayons were discovered hidden in an area of brush off of Hacadam Road. Wood was last seen wearing a pink T-shirt with the words "Guess Who" embroidered on the front, with turquoise blue shorts, and with brown sandals.
Investigation and aftermath: A known murderer named Lewis S. Lent Jr. was charged with abducting Wood in 1996, three years after she was last seen, the reason being that Lent originally had claimed that he had killed Sara and that he had buried her body in the Adirondacks. But when he drew a map of the burial location for the police, extensive searches were conducted, but did not produce any evidence as to Wood's whereabouts and nothing was found. Lent later recanted his statements, but was still convicted of the crime was sentenced to 25 years to life with no chance of parole. In 2015 the case has been reopened and remains unsolved.
