could take care of herself, they still saw themselves as her protectors. >> was everyone kinda looking out for her, her being the baby? >> always. yeah. >> how many children in your family? >> well there's nine of us. >> nine siblings? >> nine siblings. >> 20 grandchildren. >> 20? >> yes. >> oh, my goodness. how does your mom keep up? >> i don't think any of us keep up. every day there's somebody asking, "how many of us are there again? " >> seven sisters and two brothers. jennifer, who was 12 when sarah was born, fondly recalls that day. >> i just remember going to the hospital after she was born. and mom let me change her first poopie diaper. >> so she was, like, your little baby, too, it sounds like. >> she was. i would wake up with her in the middle of the night and feed her.

>> that is a sign of a big family when big sister is feeding the baby in the middle of the night. >> yeah. and she screamed until you stuffed the bottle in her mouth. >> as sarah grew older and her siblings started to marry, her sisters'husbands also looked out for her. her brother-in-law, nick giannetto, appointed himself chief protector. he met sarah when she was just 3-years-old. >> she was very outgoing and talkative and very fun to be around. whenever i cooked something, she was right next to me and wanting to learn how to do it, or -- or taste it. >> you two really bonded? >> oh, yeah, absolutely. i was always there for her, and if someone bothered sarah, sarah would definitely come to me and -- and let me know. >> i heard a little story about you. >> about? >> big, strong nick would paint sarah's -- >> oh, sarah's nails -- >> fingernails?

>> yes, yes, yes. >> where does that come from -- >> it was just you know some of the sisters would always be painting their nails. and, you know, me owning a hardwood floor business, being very particular in how i laid my finish out and how nice and neat everything had to be, i said, you know what, how hard could it be to paint a fingernail, you know. >> it was just another way nick took care of sarah. but even under watchful eyes, the unexpected can happen. and it did. after a long romance with her high school sweetheart, at 17, sarah got pregnant. >> was she excited to be a mom? >> yeah, she was. a little nervous, but everybody's nervous the first time they're a mom. but she had so much experience. you know, her sisters and brothers having so many kids. she was always babysitter number one. >> allaura cicero and sarah grew up in the same neighborhood and quickly became best friends. allaura says she was especially happy to hear sarah was having a girl. >> i was like, "oh, you're going to have a little sarah. like, she's going to be just like you. and turns out that's what happened. she always put jocelyn first. everything was always about jocelyn, as it

should be. >> jocelyn's dad couldn't be there when she was born. he had joined the army and was deployed overseas. when he returned home, it became clear his relationship with sarah wouldn't survive the challenges of grown up life. >> i'm not really sure what happened there. i guess they grew apart. >> sarah was now a single mom raising a baby girl on her own with the help of her family of course. >> she was like a natural mother. you know, she knew what to do and how to take care of her and love her up every second. and that's what she did. >> it had to be easier for her, too, with all of you? >> oh, yeah. >> uh-huh. >> and then all this family -- >> she had built-in babysitters. >> sarah didn't let teenage-motherhood stop her from following her dreams. >> she graduated from high school. and then she went to college and graduated from there.

>> she landed a job as a medical technician and still managed to be a hands on mom to her now 4-year-old daughter. happy birthday dear jocelyn >> describe sarah when she would see jocelyn. >> her eyes would light up. even for not seeing her for an hour, like when she, like, held jocelyn and kissed her on the cheek and stuff, you felt it in your own heart. it was amazing. >> sarah was a great mother. you know, she really stepped up to the plate for jocelyn. >> so did nick, who was jocelyn's godfather. he was there for her first halloween. >> look at big uncle nick, you know, carrying jocelyn to her first house, you know, getting candy. >> and he helped in other ways. like when sarah decided she needed to buy a car. >> okay. what kind of car you want? i want a bmw. i want a bmw. >> it just so happened, one of his friends was selling a 1999 bmw. >> we go over there and look at it. you know, she loves the car. and i'm like, you know,

let -- let's just sit back, you know, a day or two. think about it, you know. because they break down. it's expensive to fix. >> no. i don't see her sitting around, thinking about it. >> no, not at that age. she comes over, like, two days later she's like, "you're coming with me to get this car right now. i want that car." >> and so she got it. >> did she post her brand-new bmw -- >> oh my god -- >> all over social media? >> all over social media. >> was that how you could tell sarah was happy? by looking at her instagram, twitter, or facebook? >> yes. besides that, she was just so happy all the time. you know, to get her to be mad was very hard. >> and on the night of friday, june 6, 2014, nick says sarah was happy. she had recently broken up with a boy she'd been dating for two years and was looking forward to a night out with friends. nick had agreed to babysit jocelyn and nothing seemed out of the ordinary when

sarah came by his house to drop off her daughter. >> i had came home from work. and she's like, "paint my nails." and i was like, "ah, leave me alone. i'm -- i'm tired. i'm going in the shower. she was like, "no, i want you to paint them now." so i was like, "all right, come on." we laughed and we talked and, you know, she was going out for the first time in a long time. >> before she left, sarah posted on instagram a smiling selfie showing off her freshly painted nails. >> did she have any parting words when she left the house? >> i'll see you guys tomorrow. i love you. kiss, kiss, kiss. jocelyn, kiss. and very happy. got in the car and left. >> but nick didn't see sarah the next day. no one did. she was supposed to pick up her daughter at a family birthday party, but she never showed. and all calls and texts to her phone went unanswered. that's got to be an awful feeling. >> yes. in your mind and in your heart your soul you're saying to yourself, this is not normal, you know, this is not sarah. coming up. >> the first clues to the mystery, her car near the woods and her messages on social media.

>> was someone following her? did someone attack her? >> very creepy what she posted. >> yes, very creepy. >> when dateline continues. so i said, "yeah you're saving hundreds with the home and auto bundle from progressive, but there's no saving that casserole!" [ both laugh ] i just love that word "bundle." it's so fun. two things coming together like a force of nature, like it was really meant to be, y'know? yes, yes, i do. and i'm so glad you wanna save money. rodney, set up a bundle for jon hamm. mm! of course! jon, is it still cool if i catch a ride home with you? i never said it was. but technically you didn't say it wasn't. it's not. yet. kids, one year they want all dinosaurs stuff the next, camels. - llamas. - llamas. so save money shopping back to school on amazon. you sure that's not a camel? yeah. whatever you say. new astepro allergy. now available without a prescription. astepro is the first and only 24-hour steroid free spray.

i mean, can i have a bite? only from xfinity. nah. unbeatable internet. >> on saturday, june 7, 2014, made to do anything so you can do anything. single mom, sarah goode, didn't show up to a family birthday party where she was supposed to pick up her 4-year-old daughter jocelyn. no one in the family could reach her all day. her sister lizzy says she knew something was terribly wrong when sarah didn't respond to messages that her daughter was asking for her. >> jocelyn's like, "oh, i miss my mom." i said, "oh we'll call her." and we called her and it went to voice mail. that's when i -- i just thought something was not right because she would always answer, especially if you mentioned jocelyn. >> it's heartbreaking when you think that a little girl wants

to talk to her mom and you can't find her? >> uh-huh. >> when sarah still hadn't appeared by sunday afternoon, lizzy went to the police station to report her missing. >> i said, "i need to report her now." >> that report set things in motion. prosecutor janet albertson, since retired, was brought on to this missing person's case from the beginning, learned that on the day sarah was a no-show at the party, a woman had spotted a blue bmw abandoned next to a wooded lot. >> a police officer had responded to that location, thinking that maybe this is a stolen car, the plates were -- were bent. >> albertson says the bmw was found less than a mile from sarah's mother's house where sarah and jocelyn also lived. >> when the officer ran the plate number, it came back to sarah goode with an address. and after that, he went to sarah's home and there was nobody there because as we

would later learn, they were at the birthday party. >> around the same time lizzy was at the police station, that officer noticed the abandoned car was still in the same spot. >> the officer radios it in again. and at this point now, sarah's family had reported her missing. >> so things were really clicking now. >> exactly. and once it came back as a missing person, well now they've got a reason to really pay attention. >> and her beloved car was the biggest clue. detectives needed the spare >> he said the eagle estates. >> then we all followed them. >> you went straight there to where the car was? >> right. >> they told us not to go follow them and i said "i don't care if you have to arrest me. i'm following you."

>> eagle estates was a place they knew well because it was so close by. a large entourage of sarah's family headed over there and tried to approach her bmw, but police wouldn't let them get too close. >> what was that like, seeing her car there? what did that tell you? >> it was scary. >> it was hard and scary. they wouldn't let us go to it. >> they would not let us near it. >> the police had a job to do, so things got heated. sarah's sisters say they shouted at detectives and detectives shouted back. >> we were yelling at them. i was like, "open the trunk." >> yeah, we were yelling -- >> they were like, "we're not touching it." >> "is she in there? " >> "we're not doing anything until you leave." >> they were yelling at us, "you guys have to leave." >> but did you say, "no, i'm not leaving? " or did you leave? >> yeah. >> we did, but then they threatened they would arrest us. so obviously we don't want to be arrested. so we -- we did leave. and -- >> we kind of left. >> kind of -- >> because we kept on circling around in our cars instead of

our feet. but i wasn't going to leave her if she was in there. >> later that night, the family finally got some answers. detectives told them, sarah was not in the car. >> were you trying to hold onto hope? >> yeah. >> trying to, yeah. >> hope turned to action, and the family got organized in a big way. >> everybody came to my house. and then we -- we just started searching, just anywhere we thought to even just go, we just went. >> how many search volunteers are we talking about? >> there was at least 200 the first day. >> pretty humbling because you can see how many people that she touched and -- >> cared about her. >> yeah. >> we just put it together in an hour on, you know, social media and this is how many, how many people we have right now. but there's more people on the way and there's already people searching. >> beyond searching, this large

family started its own investigation, making calls and combing through social media. >> checking facebook, making sure she didn't update anything. >> the professional detectives were also looking at sarah's online life, piecing together clues from the friday night she went missing. they started with that picture she posted on instagram of her freshly painted nails. they learned she was at nick's house around 6: he piure, they could see what she was wearing. >> she had on tank tops and this very unique tank top over it with an owl face and her little headband. >> police then confirmed that after sarah kissed her daughter goodbye and left her brother-in-law's house, she drove to a friend's place. >> she hooked up with a -- a friend of hers, a childhood friend by the name of jason

flores. >> a timeline was coming together. she picked up jason in her bmw. >> she and jason had referred to each other as cousins because they had been neighbors growing up when they were younger, but they had drifted apart. she had really just kind of connected with jason about two weeks before. >> at 6:51 pm, a second selfie. >> jason took a selfie of the two of them where you can see sarah driving. and she's so happy. i mean, she was just beaming, you know. she just looked like a happy kid, like,

for her first night out in a while. >> they picked up brandon allen, a good friend of jason's and a new friend of sarah's and headed over to a small gathering, a dozen or so young people hanging out in this front yard. investigators estimate they stayed there about 40 minutes. before they left, they took this group shot at 10:18 pm. that's sarah in the pink sweatshirt next to jason. >> where does she go? does she go home? >> no. at that point, she and jason are going to go back to

brandon's house. and he lives on -- only around the corner. so, sarah drove jason and brandon back to brandon's house, where they watched "the hobbit, " a movie. >> around 1:00 in the morning, jason, sarah's childhood friend, wanted to leave. sarah agreed to drive him home. after she dropped him off, he sent her a text at 1:17 am. >> basically saying, "are -- are you home okay? " and she responds, "yes." and we know that's on jason's phone, jason's phone, because the police have taken his phone to -- to download the information.

>> all this seemed routine, then something ominous. on sarah's twitter feed, her brother-in-law nick learned that days before sarah went missing she had tweeted, "so, you know i live on a dead end. i see you creepin.'" and a second one, "getting threatened for days now. is that the new thing to do? "

>> three days after single mom sarah goode disappeared from her home on the south shore of long island, scores of searchers continued to comb the woods, post signs and follow leads hoping to locate her. >> your baby girl can't wait to give you that great big hug when you come home. >> so far detectives were revealing only one clue to the public. >> the fact that her car was found unoccupied, she loves this car, something is suspicious here and we want to find this girl. >> nicole allegrezza, a reporter for "the advance, " a local long island newspaper was assigned to the story. >> it was the biggest story that i had gotten yet. and it also hit home because she was about the same age as me, a little bit younger. what was going on social media, what were people saying? >> well, there were hashtags created almost immediately. #sarahgoode. #findsarahgoode. >> and on instagram her friends were getting worried. >> and nicole says during the searches, the gossip mill was buzzing with rumors about sarah's recent breakup with her long-term boyfriend. his name

was dj. >> there were a whole bunch of rumors going around about dj and his family. and that things were not going well in their relationship and that they had just broken up, i think, ten days they said before she went missing. >> so nicole was a bit taken aback when she spotted the ex-boyfriend while she was out covering the story. she saw him in a crowd of searchers.

>> as a reporter, i felt like i had to talk to him once i knew who he was. but i also was a little cautious to go near him because i was, like, "what if he actually had an involvement in this? " >> investigators, who were working around the clock in hopes of finding sarah alive, heard about the ex-boyfriend. >> did he need to be looked at? >> i think everybody should be looked at. because when you don't know what happened, you can't exclude anybody. >> there was an anonymous call on the crime stoppers tipline.

detectives learned a strange and disturbing story about the ex-boyfriend, dj, and his mother. apparently, the break up with sarah had gotten ugly. >> dj had left a threatening a voicemail. >> uh-huh, yes. the message that dj left in the voicemail wasn't physically threatening bodily harm to sarah. it was more, "take that post down, bitch." >> that post, albertson says, was a message sarah put on her facebook page insulting dj and a member of his family. she says the message upset dj's mother so much that the mother called sarah and threatened to

kill her. so sarah called 911. >> what is her complaint in the call? or what is her concern? >> i think her concern in the call was just to make a report. and really, the report she was looking to make was that the mother had threatened her about this post. >> the prosecutor thought this might explain one of sarah's strange tweets. the one she posted just four days before she went missing. "getting threatened for days now. is that the new thing to do? " >> the tweet was clearly associated with the phone call from the ex-boyfriend about, "take the post down, " and the mother being upset that she had put the post up.

>> but she wasn't sure what to make of the other one. "sooo, you know i live on a dead end. i see you creepin.'" aper. here's the new charmin ultra strong. ahhh! my bottom's been saved! woooo! with its diamond weave texture, new charmin ultra strong cleans better with fewer sheets and less effort. what's everybody waiting for? this? ok hon, we know you're clean. we all go, why not enjoy the go with charmin. kids don't always take the best care of school supplies. so save money shopping back to school on amazon. while they...

missing for four days and her family was doing everything possible to find her and then some. >> we just stayed up all night going over the same things over and over again. talking amongst

ourselves. >> like, what can we do tomorrow. >> you guys are all in the dark, right, about this investigation? >> that's why we had to do everything ourselves. >> that's why you decided to start investigating? >> right. yeah. >> and as for sarah's brother-in-law nick, police were worried he might be taking things too far. >> i get called back into the precinct. they tell me, you got to calm down. you're going to hurt somebody.

>> but nick wasn't ready to back down. >> as tears were rolling down my eyes, i said, you know, if i find the person that hurt her or harmed her in any which way, i will bring him to you. >> almost like nick the bounty hunter. >> yeah. yes, yes. and they knew i wasn't playing. they knew i was really serious at that point. >> think you could've brought that person in alive?

>> i don't. at that time? no. >> he was determined to get answers. his mission was to find anyone who might know where to find sarah. that included sarah's childhood friend jason flores and her new friend, brandon allen. all three of them had been at brandon's house watching a movie the night she

disappeared. luckily for brandon, the police got to him first. detectives called him in the middle of the night. >> he came down to the police station voluntarily, i think on that sunday night. brandon was questioned by the police for hours. >> any red flags with him? >> i don't think so, really early on. i mean, he -- he didn't have that much contact with sarah. he didn't have that deeper relationship with her. >> brandon shared his story with us. he says all he wanted to do was help find sarah. >> at that point i'm thinking, all right. there's something

wrong here. we got to go and help as much as we can just figure out where she is. >> what kinda questions were they asking you? >> when's the last time you seen sarah? when's the last time you talked to her? basic questions like that. >> and what were you telling them? >> whatever they wanted to know. >> what's their tone? >> aggressive. >> did you start to get a little worried? like do they

think i know where she is? >> yeah. at some point i did feel like i had to convince them. were nausea, indigestion/stomach pain. treat & prevent - all in one. are you tired of clean clothes that just don't smell clean? were nausea, indidowny unstopablesain. in-wash scent boosters keep your laundry smelling fresh waaaay longer than detergent alone. if you want laundry to smell fresh for weeks, make sure you have downy unstopables in-wash scent boosters. as one day passed, then two,

then three, four and five -- still no sign of sarah. for her family, the not knowing was unbearable. >> i think deep down, you hope, like, if you found her, like, maybe she was still alive. and she was breathing, you might be able to help her. >> each night, sarah's sisters, brothers, cousins, her entire extended family piled into one house, comforted by the closeness. >> we all stayed at my mom's house every single night on the floor, couches, kitchen, rooms. we were -- everybody was there. >> we didn't even sleep. you heard the helicopters. we went back out to search. >> oh, yeah, we were out. we were out all hours of the

night. if we heard a helicopter, we all jumped in our car to follow it. or if we heard a police car, we were going. we were going to find it. >> they were relentless. using the hashtag #findsarahgoode, they organized a massive search effort covering miles and miles. >> how grueling was the search? >> it was horrible. >> it was bad. it was raining. some days it was steaming hot. >> even it was hot, you were still in layers because you were in woods and you didn't

want the ticks all over you. >> and every day, no answers? >> no sarah. >> family and friends searched places like the smith point county park sarah loved. and the tick infested woods near where her car had been found. for three of her six sisters -- jennifer, tabitha, and samantha -- the search was especially difficult. >> all three of you were pregnant during the search? that must have just added to how hard it was? >> it was hard. >> probably worse because i know by the end of the day my feet were so swollen, i didn't even want to move off of the couch but i knew i had to because i wanted to find her. you feel sick to your stomach, but you couldn't tell if it was sickness from pregnancy or

sickness because you're afraid you're going to find her and she's going to be dead. >> in what seemed like parallel investigations, everyone detectives talked to, the family tried to talk to as well. one person her sisters hadn't been able to reach was sarah's childhood friend, jason flores. he was the one sarah dropped off before going home that night. since he was the last person known to be with her before she vanished, they called his cell phone. >> we tried to, but no one ever answered. >> did anyone worry that he could've been involved or know something? >> yeah. >> we don't know how or why but we just thought he was there with her. we just speculated that he had to have something to do with it. >> not about to sit around and wait for jason's call, sarah's brother-in-law nick and his large posse went out looking

for him. >> you couldn't find him? >> no. >> do you think that was on purpose, on jason's part? >> i think at that point, the word was out that, you know, we were out looking and we were going to do whatever it had to take to get answers. so whoever got the word were hiding pretty good. >> do you think jason was nervous, worried that you were out looking for him? >> i would -- yes, yes. absolutely. >> because he wasn't making himself readily available, did

that say anything to you? >> you have to say to yourself, does he know something? obviously she was with him. he's got to know something. >> what nick didn't know was the real reason jason was mia. he was behind bars. detectives had brought him in for questioning and discovered he had an unrelated harassment warrant, so they were able to detain him. >> two days jason was with investigators? >> yes. he spent a significant amount of time with 6th precinct detectives. >> did they feel, like, "hey, if you know -- we have to find sarah -- >> uh-huh. >> "if you know something, tell us." >> oh, absolutely. he's the last person that she drops off. so, you know, at this point, you have to look at these people very seriously. and you have to make sure that they're telling you the truth. >> prosecutor albertson says jason's story was consistent, and he was adamant that he had no idea where sarah was. >> did they take his dna as well? >> they did. he consented. and he gave them his handprints. >> again handprints, not your typical police request in a missing person's case. the reason police were collecting them would soon become clear.

jason also agreed to turn over the clothes he was wearing the night sarah went missing. his encounter with police all seemed very cooperative. >> everything is not what it seems. >> but when jason flores sat down to speak to us, he says his visit with detectives at the 6th precinct was like a scene out of a bad cop film. >> the detectives call me. and i willingly went there, obviously. because why would i not go? you know what i mean? >> to the police department? >> yeah. so we get there, this and that. he goes from -- mr. nice guy to "we know you know where she is." smacking me. choking me. spitting on me. >> wow. >> and, i was scared. i was scared. even though i knew i didn't do anything, they still had me, like thinking in my head, like, what the (bleep) is going on right now? i didn't get no phone call, no one read me my rights. >> what were they asking you? what kind of questions? >> it went from how do you know sarah to where the (bleep) is she? you (bleep) little (bleep). we know you know where she is. yeah, you were in eagle estates? where the (bleep) were last night? like just ripping my ⌞> you actually were crying? sleep paper that was my pil g>> did you have anything t with sarah>> did you f fel>> oh, i knew. i knew they weren't. comment on jason's claims of how he was treated by detectives. as for sarah's family, they had their own suspicions. >> her family was convinced it was me. >> they were? >> yeah. >> how did you know that? >> the cops made it seem like that. >> did you feel like you were enemy number one? >> most definitely. i felt so targeted. and it wasn't a good feeling. >> sarah's family and friends were becoming more and more desperate. they didn't know who

clear they weren't going to be spectators in the search for their sister. >> that's where her car was found and that's -- >> they were actively investigating her disappearance. and so were her friends. >> you decided to play detective a little bit. >> yeah, i guess. >> sarah had left a trail of cyber clues. and her best friend allaura cicero was determined to follow them. >> what was it that made you

decide i need to do something more here than just search? >> there were so many unanswered questions. like, i felt like i just had to find stuff out. >> and she had an idea of where to start. turns out sarah was on allaura's family cell phone plan. that meant allaura had access to sarah's phone records. so she pulled them up on her cell. >> what did you find? anything

that jumped out at you? >> just random numbers that i've never seen before the same numbers over and over again. like, back and forth. >> did you start calling any of the numbers? >> i did. >> and? what kind of response were you getting when you would call? >> "last we seen her was at the party." that's about it. nobody knew anything. >> as allaura scrolled through sarah's call log, there was one number that caught her attention. >> it was a number that kept reoccurring. so we wanted to figure out who it was, you know. so we called and then -- >> who answered? >> dante. just the same response as everyone else. i

don't know where she is. haven't seen her. >> dante taylor was a friend of jason flores'and was part of the group sarah was hanging out with that friday night. his name wasn't familiar to her, but alluara's boyfriend had heard of him. >> my boyfriend was like, "oh, i think that's the kid up the block." so that's when we realized that that was the neighbor. >> did your boyfriend's family want to keep an eye on dante? >> i guess we were looking out for him. looking out for everyone, you know. it's just like, when you're in a situation like that, every

little thing that happens, you're paying extra attention to at this point. >> her boyfriend's mother, dehlia mckernan, heard about sarah's connection to dante, so she decided to pay extra attention to him. he lived with his mom, a few houses away. >> what kind of things were you seeing? anything suspicious? >> you know, at the time, i wouldn't know if it was suspicious. >> like when she says she thought she saw dante cleaning out his car. >> yeah, on two different occasions i noticed that he had all of the -- he had the car

doors open, the trunk open. he was in and out of the vehicle -- just unusual behavior. you know just wondering, i was wondering what is he doing. >> did you feel like, i should tell sarah's family what i'm seeing? >> oh, well, i was always in contact with them. >> not content to sit back and just watch delia became dante's part-time shadow. >> you actually followed him? >> i actually -- >> on occasion? >> i did. i actually did. because, honestly, i really, really thought he would lead us to sarah. >> weren't you nervous? i mean, if he really did have something to do with her disappearance, then that would make him very dangerous. >> ah, yes. and you know, sometimes you think with your heart. and you really hope for the best. and you think that this -- if this could lead you to sarah, then yeah. >> you're following him where, then? so what kind of places are you ending up? >> he went to an auto parts store on one occasion. he stopped at a hero shop. he stopped in the parking lot of a shopping center. i just kept thinking, okay. sooner or later, he's going to make way back to sarah. was loved,>> when nick, who was rung dante's number dante's number dante, so when he spot>> okay. sh wnick, who was runninout nce, t dante's numb showi following him. nhad he dante, sen he sphito outside hie, nick 911. his is about the sarah the girl that'en missi >> oka that kid dante is on th corner, sitting in his car >> but nick didn't wait fo police to arrive. he was about to take matters into his own hands. coming up, a dramatic turn in the case >> you felt helpless. it's a big pill to swallow. big pill to swallow. >> when da no, the -- the phone tells you who called. she didn't mention a good time to call her back. how am i supposed to know when to call her back? no. she just shouldn't have left a voicemail. 9 out of 10 times, a text will do. progressive can't save you from becoming your parents, but we can save you money when you bundle

goode, a young, single mom, was missing. >> in your mind, in your heart, in your soul, you wanted answers. >> her ex-boyfriend and three others that night were under scrutiny. >> did you feel like you were enemy number one? >> definitely. >> where was she? a break in the case was coming. >> you can't ask for better evidence than the bad guy's print and blood. >> i just wanted to rip his heart out of him. >> sarah goode disappeared after a night out with friends and her brother-in-law, nick, learned more than what they were telling. he soon learned that a party-goer called sarah's phone that evening and police wanted to talk to him. so did nick. >> ultimately, nick finds him and tails him like in the movies. nick called 911. >> nick went right up to daunte and confronted him. i was like, get against the car, you -- every curse word -- and seemed pretty confident like. >> you must have wanted so badly to get this man to tell you where she was. >> yes. >> but the police show up? >> and there was nothing i could do. >> as the detectives approached daunte, nick continued yelling. >> i'm just cursing at him and, you know, vocally being nasty

to him. he wasn't saying nothing bad to me. >> the police respond. more family down and it got chaotic. >> the police worried about his safety. >> mr. taylor was ultimately transported to the local precinct and subsequently he was interviewed by detectives. >> was daunte taylor giving them anything? was he helping? sfle provided the police with his palm prints, his fingerprints, he gave a consent to search his phone. >> and when detectives confronted daunte with phone records showing he had been talking to sarah the night she

had been missing, he had an explanation. >> he was calling not to speak to sarah, but to speak to jason and sarah picked up. >> and they confirmed daunte was telling the truth. sarah's childhood friend, jason, had been used sarah's phone that night to communicate with daunte because his own phone didn't have cell service. >> mr. taylor was released and he was free to go home while the investigation continues. >> did that say something when he was willingly giving his you he fingerprints and samples? >> sure. >> it was a real who done it. >> six days and no sign of sarah goode. her brother-in-law,

nick, ran out of people to question. so he did what others do when they start to lose hope. he went to church. >> i get on my hands and knees and i say, you know what, lord? you could not give me anything else in this lifetime. let me bring her home. you know? i want to find her. >> later that day, nick met up with a search party. by now he and the rest of the family had exhausted every possible lead. so they decided to retrace their steps and went back to the woods not far from where sarah's car had been found. >> i park. i get about a half-a-block over. i get a phone call. they think they see

a body in the woods. so we all start running and now there's -- i couldn't tell you. maybe 15, 20, 30 people at the end of the woods. and the smell was really bad. then you knew it was a body. >> nick and sarah's brother frankie took a closer look. >> you know, everybody's screaming and yelling and crying on the floor. >> was something telling you it was her? >> the sweater, it was a total indication. so me and frankie look at each other and say, "we're going to tell them it's not her." >> why? >> we still wanted hope that she was alive. >> nick and frankie left the woods. and later ran into one

of sarah's sisters. >> and i just remember screaming at him like, like, you have to tell me if it's her or not. and i just remember my brother was like, "it's not her." and he just kept walking. like, they just didn't want to talk about it." and he just kept walking. like, they just didn't want to talk about it. >> did you believe him? >> i didn't believe him. i know it was her. >> sarah's family and friends

had never stopped looking. their tireless efforts had finally paid off. they had found sarah's body. any last bits of hope were gone. one of the searchers called 911. when sarah's sister tabitha heard the sirens it became all too real. >> there was like a white noise, like, you just felt go through your body, that you knew something -- whether it was sarah or something of sarah's, it was found. >> how do you get that official confirmation that it really was her? >> they made us all go back to my mom's house because it was around the block. he just stood us all in a circle and just said that they believe it was sarah. >> but they couldn't confirm it yet. >> yeah. >> they wouldn't say it really was her. >> as chief of the homicide unit for the suffolk county d.a.'s office, janet albertson headed straight to the scene. >> unfortunately, you know her body had decomposed a significant amount in that short six-day period. it's just sad. you know, you're just standing over this -- what was clearly six days before, a beautiful, young girl. and what you had left was a horror. >> albertson says she didn't need to wait for test results. she knew it was sarah. she recognized her clothes from these pictures. >> did the shirt match the photos? >> yeah. and when the medical examiner removed the garments and she laid them out on the gurney to be photographed, you could visualize each of the tank tops including the owl shirt and the pink sweatshirt. >> the same crowds of family and friends who had searched for sarah had now come to say farewell. nick was back at church. this time for sarah's funeral. >> how is everyone handling the news that this part of everything has now very tragically and sadly come to an end? >> it just really -- you know, a punch in the face. it's just -- you're mad almost. you're mad at yourself almost, you know? because you couldn't do -- like, you felt helpless. >> and you've always been sarah's protector. >> yes. that's how i felt. like

i failed. >> and you were the last member of her family to say goodbye. >> yes. it's a big pill to swallow. >> you helped her get ready. >> for her night out. and i painted her nails. yes. >> you never could have known. >> you never know. you should always tell your loved ones you love them. you really don't know. >> his deep sorrow was clouded by anger and suspicion. now that the search for sarah was over, it was time to find her killer. so far detectives had made no arrests, but nick had his eye on someone. >> he was the only one. that i just wanted to rip his heart out of him. coming up -- >> that's a big deal? >> tremendous deal. >> a telltale piece of evidence. >> it's almost like it was the killer's calling card. >> it was his signature.

olay. face anything. sarah goode's family and

friends walked the beach in mastic, new york, to say their final goodbyes at a place that had always brought her such joy. but as they tossed flowers into the ocean they felt no peace. weeks had gone by with no word on who killed sarah. >> you're trying to grieve the loss of your sister and there's the realization that there's a killer on the loose?

>> we weren't told anything, basically. we were just told that they were looking into people, and they have people in mind. >> yeah, i think we called almost every day to see if they found somebody or if they were questioning more people and we just got the runaround. >> that's got to put the whole community on edge. >> uh-huh. >> what the family didn't know was police were getting closer to finding her killer. and now sarah's body gave investigators more clues. they could tell it was a brutal murder. she had

been stabbed more than 40 times. >> this young lady has six sharp force injuries to her forehead, a broken nose, a stab wound that went through and through the front to the back of her shoulder. she's a got a stab wound into the clavicle. she's got two stab wounds to her lower leg. >> the prosecutor had a theory as to what started this vicious attack. >> the killer wanted something from her she didn't want to give up and he was pulling her towards him. >> albertson believes sarah had resisted a sexual advance, so her attacker raped her before stabbing her to death. >> it's very clear when you

looked at it that he landed on her from behind, pinned her down, and inflicted those injuries because she had bruising on her legs, front and back, inside the right and left thigh that were inflicted while she was alive. >> semen was found in sarah's body and leaves and twigs had been stuffed between her legs in an attempt, the prosecutor surmised, to cover up dna. >> this is brute force. this is an animal. >> and when they looked at the forensic evidence, the prosecutor says it was clear the struggle began inside sarah's bmw. >> there was a significant

amount of blood and a large clump of her hair in the door jam. >> it's a frightening discovery, finding hair and blood. >> it is. and the amount of hair that was out -- hanging out of that door jam was significant. >> sarah's bmw had been towed to the police department's impound yard where forensic experts went to work. >> they spent quite a long amount of time going over that

car. >> besides blood and hair, something else caught their attention. >> they noticed almost immediately on the hood of her bmw was red-brown staining. >> karen oswald, a fingerprint expert, worked the case. she says once investigators visually inspected the staining on the hood, they dusted it for prints. >> there were a few handprints that were developed on the hood. >> and were you able to get prints off of them? was it usable handprint? >> they weren't usable the way they were with just the white fingerprint powder. there weren't enough characteristics to compare it to somebody else. >> then they did a second test using a chemical called amido black. and this time, there was enough detail. one of the handprints was useable for comparison. and the test told them something else. >> so if there's blood on this palm print it's going to now show up with this chemical? >> hopefully, yes. >> and what happened when you put the chemical on it? >> it did develop. >> so the palm print turned blue? >> yes. blue. >> which means that there was very likely blood in that palm print. >> correct. >> and that's a big deal. >> it's a tremendous deal. >> while oswald and her team examined the prints, other investigators tested the blood to see who it belonged to. >> the blood came back to sarah goode. >> oswald believed the killer had attacked sarah, got her blood on his hands and then carelessly left his prints. so

that's why detectives had been gathering handprints from every potential suspect. the prosecutor says they knew if they could find a match, they could likely solve this crime. >> it's almost like it was the killer's calling card. >> it was his signature. >> the print specialist was able to compare that bloody signature with those of potential suspects detectives sent her way. >> you don't always know homicide's level of interest in somebody. you're going to compare these prints to anybody they ask. >> and one by one she checked for possible matches helping police cross names off their list, like sarah's ex-boyfriend, dj. his prints did not match. neither did brandon allen's. it

was his house sarah had been at that night. he says once he was cleared, detectives started treating him differently. >> they just wanted to know what we knew. >> you could feel that. >> yeah. >> they're not really looking at me. they just want me to help. >> uh-huh. >> and someone police had kept in jail for two days, the last known person to see sarah alive, jason flores was also cleared by his palm print. >> and they come to my house and tell me. >> who came? the detectives? >> yeah, because they know how much i went through and this wasn't easy for anyone to go through. especially someone you're accusing of it. i just thinking, like, wow, i just really feel sarah, like, with me right now. >> as oswald cross-checked palm prints, delia mckernan had been keeping a close eye on her neighbor dante taylor. remember, he'd been with the group sarah was hanging out with that fateful night and his cell number showed up on sarah's phone records. >> were you glued to your window? >> absolutely. as crazy as that might sound, yes. >> even though dante had been questioned by detectives and let go, delia continued to watch him. using her high-powered binoculars, she kept an eye on his house. and then one night coming home from dinner, delia said the street was blocked off. a police flatbed was towing dante's car. >> we were unable to access the street because the tow truck was blocking it and the officers not allowing anyone even if you lived here not allowing anyone down the street. we thought, okay, this is really serious. this could be it. >> weeks passed and nothing

happened. police didn't arrest anyone. meanwhile, from the time sarah had gone missing, dante had been hanging out with brandon and jason. they had been friends for years. >> what kind of guy was he? >> he was definitely a ladies man. he was very jealous. he was a jealous type of man. >> did the ladies like him? >> yeah. i guess it was his eyes. that's what i always heard, was that they liked his eyes. >> and did he like the attention from women? >> yeah. he liked to be the center of attention all the time. anywhere we were he would try to be on the spotlight. >> and brandon says dante was trying to make something of his life. >> why did he want to go into the marines? >> i don't know. probably just like anybody else though. serve their country. >> but dante dropped out not long after basic training and had recently returned home. and while sarah was missing, brandon says dante seemed off. >> it's hard to explain. you know, you would have to see for yourself. you know? like, being around him and getting vibes. it just wasn't right. something wasn't right. >> talk about those vibes. >> creepy. like, like, he'll just stand there and just stare at you. >> did that make you uncomfortable? >> i would just look away. >> but yet, you all kept hanging out with him? >> yeah. >> and jason thought maybe dante's short stint in the marines had changed him. >> we were actually good friends at one point and then he went away. came back and then he was just weird. >> jason remembers a weird incident one day when they were at a barbecue not long after sarah went missing. dante got into an argument with another one of their friends and pulled out a shotgun. >> so dante popped his trunk and started pointing the gun at him. and then brandon ran up to dante and pushed him back with the gun. and dante put the gun back in his trunk and that was that like. >> what did you think when he pulled out a gun? >> i was just on the roof, like, i'm staying over here. i'm not going near that gun. i don't like guns. >> he had just bought it? >> yes. >> to his friends, dante's behavior seemed erratic, but there was something else to consider. just as jason, brandon and the ex-boyfriend

had done, dante willingly gave his handprints. if his prints had matched wouldn't police have arrested him? there was more to this story, so much more. coming up -- >> if you follow it, it's amazing. >> a deep dive into sarah's cell phone records reveals a secret, early-morning rendezvous. >> you see sarah is home and all hell broke loose from there. >> when dateline continues. >>

now back to "dateline." on the night sarah goode was murdered, detectives already knew she had dropped off her friend jason at around 1:00 a.m. and a few minutes later, texted him that she had made it home safely. but it wasn't until they combed through sarah's phone records and checked cell tower data that they started to figure out what happened next. those cell phone records were really telling you a story. >> it's incredibly powerful. if you follow it, it's amazing. you see sarah is home. >> lawrence opisso, an assistant district attorney

with the suffolk county d.a.'s office, worked the case. >> and jason texts her, "are you home? are you home safe? " and she says, "yes." and all hell broke loose from there. >> he says after that text, sarah got a call from someone else. >> somebody is speaking to her and there's conversations going back and forth. >> when detectives tracked the cell phone movements, they could see whoever was talking

to sarah started off in mastic, new york. then traveled about ten miles north to where sarah was living near eagle estates. >> she's home. but we see this phone number, this cell instrument with this phone number move very deliberately right up to sarah goode's home, where the phones come together. >> once the cell phone pinged near sarah's house all phone communication stopped. prosecutors believe that's when sarah and her caller started communicating in person. >> she receives a call from a

young man and at 1:30 in the morning, you know, she went out to meet him. >> albertson theorized sarah, who was 21 and a single mom, wanted to make the most of this rare night out. so when she got an offer to keep the party going, she took it. >> i think her decision was just kind of naive and foolish. and unfortunately, you know, it turned out to be fatal. >> so who was this person sarah met up with on the night she was murdered? police traced the number. >> it ultimately was identified to dante taylor. >> 19-year-old dante taylor, the handsome marine corps drop-out. when police had questioned him, back when sarah was missing, he told them he and sarah never got together after the group split up that night. >> he maintained that he asked her to hang out and that she said, "no, " she wasn't going to hang out. and he was

confronted with phone records and cell tower information that said otherwise. and, you know, he basically said those records must be wrong. so the records are not wrong. you know, people are liars. records aren't. >> and even though sarah and dante were part of the group hanging out together the night she went missing, their mutual friend jason flores says the two barely interacted. he didn't make any comment, "oh, she's cute, " or any -- >> he came up to her car, and we were sitting in her car. >> he says the three of them had a short conversation. >> and then he walked away. and that was the only thing. >> the family had also been suspicious of dante. when they called him while looking for sarah -- >> we talked to him twice. once at night, when we first started. and then in the morning. i think he just switched that either he did or didn't see her. i don't remember. >> he might not have gotten his story straight? >> yeah. >> police already had cell records linking dante to sarah. so what about his palm print? karen oswald remembers when dante came in to give his prints. >> he was a regular guy. he was polite, helpful. he was a nice guy. >> when someone acts like that do you think, "oh, it probably wasn't him"? >> i don't make a determination on whether i think it was them or not. i've seen enough people who have done really bad things, and to your face they're nice, they're polite, they're respectful. but demeanors change. >> oswald carefully compared the ridges from the bloody palm print to dante's. finally a hit. >> it matched to dante tay>> hoe

that ma you've potentially caug killer. >> in one i you that palm print poin as sarah's killer out there. >> another victim? my throat. he just kept sp -- >> we received information tha there might be another victi out there. >> another victim? >> he had a knife. he had it a my throat. he just kept saying my throat. he just kept saying "i'll kill y it has long-lasting light scent, no heavy perfumes, and no dyes. finally, a light scent that lasts all day. downy light!

against dante taylor, the prosecutor worried about a key piece of evidence. the bloody palm print dante left on the hood of sarah's car. she wasn't sure she'd be able to use it in court. remember when police brought dante in for questioning back when sarah was still missing? >> you have all the family members screaming and yelling and the potential for a weapon. >> that was the time when nick had called police, and when they showed up, they handcuffed dante, brought him to the precinct, questioned him for hours, and got his handprint, but they never read him his rights. >> because the detectives believed they'd made it clear to him that he was not under arrest, that he was, in fact, free to go. >> but albertson knew there was a strong possibility a judge might not see it that way and

could suppress dante's palm print, meaning the most damning piece of evidence linking him to sarah's murder would be thrown out. because police never read him his rights, for now, dante walked free. his neighbor delia continued to spy on him, and one day as a car drove past her, she saw something alarming. >> he was hiding crouched down in the backseat, and so, i made it a point to slow my vehicle as i passed, and i looked into the vehicle, and that's when i saw dante hiding in the backseat. >> what did you think of that?

>> i thought, wow, he's going to get away. he's going to go on the run. he's going to leave. >> did you tell someone immediately? >> i did. >> that's how albertson learned dante was leaving for florida on a one-way ticket. >> we were grateful for the observations that she made because that's what led us to the one-way ticket. >> since detectives weren't ready to charge him with murder, they couldn't stop him from leaving town. instead they kept working the case hoping for a plan "b, " and then --

>> we received information that there might be another victim out there. >> the information came from sarah's friend jason flores. during one of his many interviews with police, jason told them about another girl who said dante had attacked her. >> this girl, she messaged me, like, a couple months after me and dante hung out with her. she was like, oh, how can you let him do that to me? i was like, what are you talking about? she's like, he put a knife to my throat and tried to

rape me in the room. >> did you tell the police about that? >> yeah, i showed them the messages. i printed them out for them. >> the girl was nicole lukas. >> he just kept saying i'll kill you. don't (bleep) with me. >> the incident happened about two years earlier in dante's house. jason says she told him she was so afraid of dante, she never reported it to police. now the police went looking for her and what she told them sounded like an eerie echo of what they believed happened to sarah. >> he kept trying to touch my body, and he opened the zipper to my shorts, and then he had a

sarah goode was murdered, the case against dante taylor went before a jury in riverhead, new york. he had pleaded not guilty. on may 11, 2016, sarah's family and friends packed the courtroom and continued to fill the seats everyday during the five week trial. >> you had t-shirts made up, "justice for sarah." the judge told you to tone it down a little bit? >> a little bit? all the way. >> whatever signs that we had hanging around the neighborhoods, we had outside of our houses, on the main roads, on the cars. the judge obviously said that was not

allowed. you know? >> because of jurors? was that the idea? >> he didn't want the influence. >> yeah, he didn't want them to influence the jurors in case they saw it. >> her family complied with the judge's order. they sat quietly in the courtroom while the prosecution laid out its case. >> with all the strong evidence was this a slam dunk? >> no. you never say it's going to be a slam dunk. >> prosecutors took the jurors

through the timeline of the night of the murder. no detail was too small. they began with sarah's selfie showing off her red nails. >> it's amazing if you look at the social media in this case and the instagram and the twitter, you can almost see this happening in realtime. >> to further bolster the timeline, prosecutor lawrence opisso also showed the jury sarah's cell phone records and cell tower data. they illustrated that not only was dante taylor the last person to be with sarah, he had also returned to the scene of the crime. >> the records tell really a story of a killer who went from

his home to her home and returned there several times in the course of the next few days almost to see what was happening and how the investigation was developing. >> their theory, after dante taylor lured sarah out of her house, he savagely beat her in the car, then dragged her into the woods, raped her and stabbed her more than 40 times. the jury saw photos of the blood and hair found in sarah's bmw. and to support the theory of rape, a crime lab expert testified that dante's dna sample was a perfect match to the semen found in sarah's body. >> this was about complete domination of that young lady because she ends up in the woods face down, the way the jury saw her, with her legs slightly splayed out. she's naked from the waist down. her upper garments are on but pushed up. and her little black sandals are zippered and strapped to her feet still. >> the prosecution painted a portrait of a brutal killer who had carelessly left his calling card. albertson showed the jury dante's handprint covered in sarah's blood. and there was many. e bloodstain too many

sarah's nails right before she went out that night. >> when janet said to the jury, we have no more of her fingers no more, but we have her fingernails that were painted. and i wanted to jump out of my seat and strangle him. >> but according to defense attorneys john lewis and debra buxbaum, nick's rage was misplaced. they claimed daunte taylor was innocent. >> there's no direct evidence that links daunte taylor to this crime. >> i felt like this really was a case of classic tunnel vision where from the get-go this seemed to be targeted at dante taylor. everybody thought it has to be dante taylor. and any

information that they came across or that they uncovered during their investigation that didn't point to dante taylor basically got swept aside or kept -- or got ignored. >> his attorneys acknowledged to the jury that sarah and dante did meet. but they said it was simply a sexual encounter between two consenting adults and dante left her unharmed. they called a former medical examiner to the stand who testified there was no physical evidence on sarah's body that proved she had been raped. >> there is no evidence that that semen was placed there as part of a forcible compulsion. >> and then an explosive claim.

lewis told jurors not only had detectives botched the investigation, but he believed they were unethical. >> you think the police made mistakes from the very beginning. >> mistake is being generous. it was no mistake. it was intentional. >> you believe he was framed by detectives? >> i believe that the evidence, okay, is questionable. and that's the issue. the issue is i don't know what the truth is. and if you don't know what the truth is, then that's problematic, don't you think? >> the defense accused the police and prosecution of withholding information for a year and a half about other

possible suspects. like the crimestoppers tip about sarah's ex-boyfriend's angry words. >> why do you think they were withholding all this information from you? >> because that's the way they operate. >> as for the drop of sarah's blood found in dante's car, lewis questioned how it got there in the first place. >> i don't think that was competent evidence to begin with based upon the fact that

four detectives searched that car for over an hour before releasing it back to dante taylor and never found any blood in it, sarah goode's or otherwise. >> he says it wasn't until days later, when police searched the car again that they found the blood. and that bloody palm print on sarah's car? the defense didn't deny it was dante's print. instead they disputed whether or not it was actually a bloody print. there

were discrepancies in the testing. the first sample from the print came back positive for blood. the second, done more than a year later after the print had been chemically processed, came back negative. >> but wasn't it red? or brown? >> i don't believe that that's the case. >> it's going to be hard for the viewers to understand, like, what else could it be? >> okay. so nobody -- nobody owns photoshop? none of your viewers know what photoshop is? >> well -- but now you're accusing the police of changing the color of the photo. >> i'm saying from the very beginning, you can't trust the police or the district attorney in this case. >> there is no proof that they planted blood or photoshopped pictures of the palm print. i mean, these are just allegations by you. >> i'm not saying they did or they didn't. i'm saying i'll never know whether they did or they didn't. and that's the scary part. >> police and the prosecution unequivocally deny photoshopping o evidence. they say thi p smokescreen. and as for the only argument he made. outsi and anxiety ridden. s verdict. dante tayl guilty murder.>> i felt like sarah wast right here, and i could see her and picture her saying, "we got this piece of (bleep)." >> is this closure? i mean, what's the emotion? >> i wouldn't say closure. she's not coming back. >> it's never going to bring her back so -- >> but we got him. >> family and friends poured out of the courtroom and gathered outside to show jurors their gratitude. then they visited sarah's grave as if to let her know justice had finally been served. >> the ways of truth and love have always won. >> stand up. >> a month later, in front of a packed courtroom, dante went before the judge to hear his sentence. >> dante taylor, for your conviction for murder in the first degree on count one, your sentence is life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. your punishment will be the maximum, the only appropriate punishment for the evil man that did this. you may make chalk marks e drop the attempted rape histor passi
