Valentine Sally: The Girl the Desert Kept


Listen Later

On Valentine’s Day 1982 a teenage body was found along I‑40 in northern Arizona and given the placeholder name “Valentine Sally.” Witnesses recall her last being seen at a nearby truck stop with an older man in a black cowboy hat with a peacock feather; a half‑dissolved aspirin stuck in a tooth became one of the few lasting clues.

Decades later genetic genealogy uncovered her real identity as 17‑year‑old Carolyn Eaton, giving her family answers—but the person who killed her has never been identified. This episode follows her final days, the wrongful misidentification, and the unresolved search for justice.
