June 12, 1987. Flagstaff, Arizona. After finishing her shift at the Flagstaff Medical Center, 40-year old Navajo woman Sarah Saganitso never returns home and her nude body is found in a nearby wooded area the following day. Her exact cause of death is asphyxiation via suffocation and there appear to be bite marks around her left breast. Nearly two months later, a suspect named George Abney is charged with the murder after making a confession, but he maintains that it was coerced. At trial, Abney’s defence team alleges that the crime is a ritualistic killing linked to witchcraft which may have been committed by a Navajo “skin-walker” and the jury ends up finding Abney “not guilty”. Was George Abney actually responsible for the murder of Sarah Saganitso? Or was the real killer a practitioner of Navajo witchcraft? On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore a bizarre case which may be the only documented murder trial in which the crime was blamed on a “skin-walker”.

Episode 3: Skinwalkers and Sarah Saganitso

June of 1987, Sara Saganitso was a housekeeper at the Flagstaff Medical Center in Arizona. She was 40 years old and a member of the Navajo tribe. She was working her first late shift. The next morning, her family became worried when she didn't come home. They went to the medical center, and that's when they found the body of a woman behind the medical center. Her face was so bruised, she was almost unrecognizable, but they knew that it was Sarah. Her torso had numerous stab wounds, and her left breast appeared to have been bitten off. The only evidence was a broken stick oddly left on her neck, as well as a clump of grass from a graveyard in the distance found near her car. Who or what would've done such a thing? For more information and case notes, visit truecrimeandchill.comSupport the show
