Sarah has spent years fighting to keep her sister's story in the public eye and advocating for justice.

  Join us as we speak with Kat Glenn and Destiny Garcia from AEPS or Arizonans for Effective Public Safety. Arizonans for Effective Public Safety is dedicated to building a safer, stronger Arizona by putting people—not broken systems—at the center of public safety. We support survivors of violence and loss through healing-centered resources, community-based advocacy, and restorative spaces that honor grief, resilience, and autonomy. We work to end wasteful and ineffective policies that drain resources without reducing violence. Instead, we advocate for smart investments in crime labs, cold case units, missing persons resources, and technology upgrades that help deliver real justice for families.
