Sarah Cole was one of the two survivors of the Teen Massacres of 1995 only to be murdered by the Dark Killer a few months later.
Bio
During her junior year of high school, Sarah started dating Josh Stevenson, one of New Prairie High's top basketball players. The two became inseparable as Josh continued being one of the team's most invaluable players.
Right after the Class of '95 graduation ceremony, Sarah and Josh got into a massive fight, ultimately leading to their breakup. She never spoke to Josh again, who was later murdered a few months later by the Dark Killer.
The First Teen Massacre
Sarah attended the part with friends Elizabeth Abbott, Joel Boyer, Keith Dean, Claire Fonnerelli, Catherine Hicks, Nate Jackson, Geoff Jenks, Joseph Martin, Robert Parks, Robert Smith and Matt Tyler. The party was at the famous Martini Farm, a supposedly haunted farmhouse south of town. The group ordered pizzas and started drinking early in the day as part of their last days together before going off to college. Sara was inside the house enjoying the party when the power went off. When Robert Smith went missing after looking for the power box, the party split up to look for him, fearing for his safety. As they split up, the Dark Killer started attacking and killing them one by one.
Sarah met back up with Cat and Joe after narrowly avoiding a one-on-one encounter with the Dark Killer. The three found Elizabeth, secretly possessed by the Dark Killer. Together, the four attempted to find a way to get out of the farm by killing the Dark Killer. In the process, Elizabeth killed Joe, revealing her true identity. Cat and Sarah attacked Elizabeth by pushing her off the second floor of a barn. Thinking the Dark Killer was finished, Cat and Sarah celebrated momentarily, but were abruptly interrupted by the Killer's return. Sarah, having found a weapon in one of the sheds, uses it on the Killer after he murders Cat. The weapon takes down the Dark Killer long enough to allow Sarah to get out of the farm's boundaries. She flagged down a car and was taken back into town.
Trial & Committed
Arriving at the New Prairie Police Department, Sarah tried to convince the police about what had happened out on the farm. Lt. Jake Morris sent patrolmen out to the farm, where they found the murdered bodies of all of Sarah's friends. Reporting back, Lt. Morris' opinion of Sarah changed, and he attempted to get her to confess to the killing of her friends. Sarah continued to blame the Dark Killer, whom Lt. Morris refused to believe was real. He puts her into the jail's infirmary and the next day, charges her with the murder of her friends.
Two days later, Sarah had her first appearance in front of a judge, who formally charged her with multiple counts of first-degree intentional homicide and set her bail at a $1,000,000 cash bond. A week later, Sarah's defense attorney states that since she's claiming the urban legend the Dark Killer murdered everyone, it's clear she can't stand trial and enters a plea of "Not Guilty by Reason of Mental Disease/Defect". The judge pauses the proceedings and orders a formal psychiatric evaluation, asking that she be transferred to Rhenderelli Asylum for an inpatient evaluation period.
Immediately following the appearance, she is sent to Rhenderelli.
Final Days
Her story drew the attention of Jack Ridley, who believed she was telling the truth. Jack visited Sarah numerous times over the course of the next three months while trying to find a way to acquit her of the crime. Sarah had become friends with Amanda Mendel, the survivor of the second set of teen murders. When inmates and staff members at the asylum started turning up dead, Sarah figured out that the victims all had the name Sarah in common between them (whether it was their first or middle names).
On October 31, 1995, a storm took out the power to the Asylum. While trying to escape the asylum, she stopped to get Amanda, who turned and killed Sarah using a large spike. During the killing, Amanda revealed that she was actually the Dark Killer possessing Amanda's body.
Sarah died before she could get any medical help, but was acquitted of her crimes after three nurses came forward as eyewitnesses to the Dark Killer's existence. Sarah was buried in Oak Park Cemetery near her friends who were also killed in the massacres.
