Cold and meticulous detail: a pearl-drop earring still clipped to a dead woman's ear in a frozen drainage ditch in January, a receipt for a table for two paid in cash, and an unidentified second diner - how did Sarah Becker end up face-down in a cornfield if her shoes and clothing show no contact with the field? Who sat across from her on January 7, 2003?
In this episode, we lay out the facts of the case as recorded in the files and follow the trail from the restaurant receipt to the late-breaking cold-case review that reopened it, asking how a single overlooked record sat in a box for eighteen years and what finally made someone go back to Harlow's Grille.
Person: Sarah Becker
Age: 44
Date: January 7-11, 2003
Location: Aldus Creek drainage ditch, Tillman Road cornfield
Status: Case cold for 18 years until 2021 review
- Sarah wore pearl-drop earrings to Harlow's Grille on January 7, 2003 and a single earring remained clipped to her ear when her body was found four days later.
- The restaurant receipt in Sarah's coat pocket shows a table for two, two entrées, a shared appetizer, a bottle of wine, and a cash payment at 9:47 PM.
- Autopsy determined manual strangulation and found no soil transfer on Sarah's work clogs, indicating her body was moved into the ditch after death.
- Greg Becker, estranged husband with a restraining order since November 2002, had a hotel keycard entry at 9:40 PM and was placed at the hotel bar by three coworkers, clearing him as the killer.
- In spring 2021, Detective Tammy Fleming reopened the case during a state-grant cold-case review and retrieved Harlow's 2003 transaction records held for a 2008 civil matter.
