Description
The second day of the trial for Patrick Nicholas took place on Tuesday. He's accused of killing 16-year-old Sarah Yarborough.
Her death in 1991 was a mystery for nearly three decades. For years, tips came in and people were ruled out as possible suspects. Then in 2019, genetic genealogy helped generate a lead that resulted in the arrest of then 55-year-Nicholas.
On the first day in court, his attorney said that Nicholas is not the person who killed Sarah Yarborough.
On day two, detectives who responded to the crime scene testified.
"I was the first officer on the scene,” said Major John Mattsen.
Mattsen received the call to go to Federal Way High School on Dec. 14, 1991. Retired Detective Michal Hatch said he went there too.
Investigators say early on a Saturday morning, Sarah parked her car at Federal Way High where she was planning to meet her drill team for a competition. Around 9:20 a.m., she was found near campus. Detectives say she was strangled and raped.
