“She was so bright and cheeky and full of life. She had an infectious energy that could fill a room and light it up from corner to corner. She had the kindest of hearts and always put others first, and like any teenager, [was] still figuring out who she was. Sabrina was a daughter, a sister, a young girl who never got the future she deserved.

“Sabrina had been exposed to things no child should ever have to face. Sabrina was a victim of sexual exploitation and, heartbreakingly, taken advantage of at such a young age. She deserved care, not cruelty.

“Almost 30 years have passed, and the person who did this to her has never been brought to justice. We can’t describe the pain of living all these years without answers.

“What is even more painful is knowing that our mum passed away recently, heartbroken, knowing that the person who killed Sabrina is still out there and walking free. She died carrying that grief and that grief weighed on her heart every single day of her life.”

“Please – if you know anything, even the smallest detail, we’re begging you to come forward. Maybe you saw something, heard a name, heard a story, maybe you’ve carried a piece of this puzzle for years. It’s not too late. We’re pleading with you: please come forward.
