The most uncomfortable thing, was the realization that he was her friend. Known her for YEARS. And was so nonchalant when talking about, not only killing her, but handling her body. You really can’t trust anyone!
Trust no one completely, except God. Humans are imperfect, and all are subject to evil, at some point. It’s a decision. Liam made that decision for the supposed power that having money would give him. Wrong choice. How could Sarah be around these guys that long, and not see their character flaws? Hope her father is at peace In his life. Prayers🙏❤️✌️
They were never really friends, he was a predator who only fooled her into thinking that. That is what people have to realize when men take advantage or actually murder people and that is why you have to be so careful.
@@LTPottenger yeah well had the money not come along she'd still be alive & thinking these unfeeling "friend's" were still her friend's! Money was the bottim line! 💔💔💔💔💔💔 even friend's can crap on you! Never share the fact that you have any money! 💔💔💔💔💔💔
I remember in 5th grade i was bragging about 20 dollars I had earned. After putting it in my locker, a friend of mine stole it from my locker. Don't share anything private with people, especially anything financial.
The class bully of my Middle School, Sarah I-don’t-remember-her-last-name stole my cute butterfly wallet out of my locker (we all saw her with it later, she basically flaunted my wallet). But a b*tch stealing another 13-year-olds wallet from a locker is beans in comparison to this case. Just sayin, bullies SUCK!
sharon brown me too pretty much. People are becoming more evil every day, trust my immediate family, nobody else. I don’t have much money either, that makes me feel safer.
I thing the one who kind of acted like it hurt him? I think it's because he realized at some point what they had done! And the fact they were going to prison! And their life is ruined too! 💔💔💔💔💔💔
This is why you never ever discuss your finances with anyone! I mean it doesn't matter if you have 1 million dollars it doesn't give anyone the right to that money or to harm you but money can make people crazy and it's just safer to keep your finances private
Misses relentless right. It’s not even a lie . Like there’s no money and hell at one I thought I might pay someone to steal my identity to get out from under all my medical debt. Lol I decided that was a bad idea but I thought about it lol
This is one of the most upsetting cases I’ve heard. I can’t imagine someone I’m close to doing something like that for $10K. That’s seriously not a lot of money, but even if it was how could someone put a price tag on someone’s life?
I said something similar. Not saying its okay but these high profile murder cases where people stand to get millions, that makes sense in my head, (still evil, sick and wrong but you'd never have to work again). Even if this was as much as the killers thought it was... They'd be lucky to last 2 years on 100 k between the two of them. That's worth not only someone's life but risking your freedom?
I know Anthony doesn't want praise, but: the way his face contorted with disgust in court before softening again was heart-warming. He's a good man, and I hope he has peace in his life. I hope Sarah is also at peace. ❤ She sounds like a fun, happy girl that would have been fun to be around.
I noticed that too. He clearly lives with the weight of "what if's" concerning this case. I hope he is able to forgive himself because he didn't do anything wrong. There's no way he would have known that this one time Liam was serious if he was always talking about weird shit as "film ideas." He didn't give him any details or specifics that would have made him think this was anything different.
This is one of those cases that will always stay with me. Pure evil. That confession is such a nonchalant, disregard for human life. And to think he was her “friend” for all those years.
It hit me extremely hard. I had a situation where a friend stole a huge amount of money from me and I'm sure would've killed me if he thought it would get him more (he physically attacked me trying to get more). This was my "best friend" of 7 yrs. So I feel like that easily could've been me, I'm lucky it wasn't. My heart just breaks for her. Love your username btw 💙
@@Gigibaby88 I am truly so sorry you’ve gone through this trauma. I can’t fathom how anyone could do this to someone, let alone a friend of several years. Wishing you healing and peace! ❤️
@@sexyimpostersyndromechick ty so much, that is much appreciated, truly. Honestly, despite it happening to me, I really can't fathom it or understand it either. The whole story is even way worse than what I wrote actually, I just severely condensed it so it wouldn't be so long. But yeah until going through that it never would've crossed my mind that someone so close to me would steal from me and attack me over $, that someone would put $ over a friend who had been there for them through so many things. When his mother died he wanted to go visit his father in FL (we were in NY) but couldn't afford air fare & didn't want to go alone. His wife couldn't go so he asked me to & I *really* didn't want to b/c he wasn't planning on stopping along the way & I can't really fall asleep in cars. But I knew he was having a really hard time & didn't want him to have to go alone so I said yes. The trip was absolutely horrible for me, it started with me getting a migraine from not sleeping & throwing up from it on the side of the road and only got worse from there. But I endured it all b/c I wanted to be there for my friend & there had been so many other smaller instances than that too, where I put myself 2nd b/c I thought he needed me (& to be fair he was there for me many times too. But that's what got me the most, how could he not even think about how many times I'd put him first when he needed me? I esp thought of that trip because it had been relatively recent and clearly I was suffering during it but I didn't once complain because I knew it was about being there for him. After everything happened with him stealing from me and attacking me, etc a good friend of mine said she'd always noticed that he seemed very controlling over me and I was so surprised but when I thought about it more it made sense & there were just things I hadn't wanted to see. It helped me understand that there were red flags all along coming from him that I either just didn't see or chose not to see. Still, if you're a sensitive, empathetic, caring person who values their friendships there's just no way to know until something like that happens. And I have healed from it and am still continuing to but I'm certainly not very trusting any more which kind of makes me sad. Omg I'm so sorry, you were just being nice and I wrote a freaking novel, more than I even wrote the first time around. I'm sorry about that! I think it was just really on my mind today. Thanks for reading it if you managed it ☺😬 all the best to you 💙
I commented this several times on the thread, but $100 K between 2 people isnt very much. Might last 2 years if you're really frugal. Kill a friend for so little money? (Which was only $7 k because it was a rumor).
It pains me when friends kill another friend; these are people that sarah chose and expected to trust, but they betray her and senselessly kill her for money... absolutely disgusting
I've always found it insensitive too. Professionals use those terms too - perhaps it helps clearly indicate the state of the person (e.g., if dead "the body" sums that up fast). Still, I'm not a fan of that terminology
@@kirbird honestly I think professionals HAVE TO do it for their mental wellbeing. Seeing dead bodies in itself can take a toll on someone and not being a to separate the body from the soul that once inhabitanted it is terrible
It's awful when my daughter passed away my grandaughter who was 4 she asked me if she could touch her & like me so lost & not really understanding she wasn't comeing back but she told me Amber's cold she needs a blanket! So yeah and me just in a daze it was hard for me to explain so i just told her there was a blanket to keep her warm! 💔💔💔💔💔💔
As I’ve wanted to start my own true crime channel for many years, I had always wanted this one to be my first case. It still will be because it’s not well enough known and she deserves it to be. Thanks for covering her love! I feel so bad for her dad!
I don't think she trusted them any more that's why she was planning on leaveing! I think their relationships were falling apart because of that money & she knew it! Sad day when you realize your closest friend's aren't now or were ever your friends! And realize they just killed you for this small amount of money! Because lets face it yes it's alot of money if you have a home & a job! Not if you have an apartment & no job! 💔💔💔💔💔💔
Wow. This is the first time I’ve seen anyone cover this case. I live one town down from where Sarah Stern lived. I actually live on the other side of the bridge in Belmar. I didn’t personally know her but I had friends who did. Thank you for covering this case.
I like listening to Rachel when I am going to bed. Great storytelling. Easy to listen to. Calming voice. 9/10 channel. Great job. Needs hundreds of thousands more subscribers
Me too 💖. Her voice and tone are so pleasant and soothing. It helps me so much to wind down and relax. My husband thinks I am nuts 😂 He is like "How is talking about horrible murders in anyway soothing" 💁😂
That’s so sad.... she was killed over $7000 which is basically NOTHING!!! Rest In Love Sarah! Crazy how her 96yr old grandma outlived her. Smh 🤦🏽♀️ 😞😞😫 I pray her family’s hearts are healed from this tragedy!! 🙏🏽😇
When you said Neptune, NJ my jaw hit the floor. Idk how I never heard about this case, I'm only about an hour away. I feel like I never even heard about this case on the news😪 so sad, absolutely awful and heartbreaking. You really can't trust anyone and it makes me so uneasy. I feel so sorry for her family😔❤
I was in a lot of fandoms with her and I remember reblogging posts about her after she went missing. And then finding out what happened. Heartbreaking case
Police didn’t check and see that she had made a withdraw that day? No one saw pry marks on safe? This is as frustrating as when cops assume someone started a “new life”. I HATE this for the family, but glad that the other friend was brave enough to call the cops
What a terrible case. That poor girl..The thought that keeps going into my head is what Sarah was thinking right before she passed. I makes my heart hurt. I pray her father & grandma has some peace knowing she’s in heaven. What awful humans.
This was incredibly saddening that some chump change was all a friend's life was worth, and it's not the first time i've heard about people killing friends/family for almost nothing. Please never tell anyone about your money if it's not absolutely necessary. Sadly I feel like Liam the asshole with dead fish eyes probably doesn't feel any remorse whatsoever, even to this day.
I live near there and remember the coverage in the newspapers. My heart breaks for the father in this. Losing his wife and his daughter in the span of four years. These monsters deserved more than the sentences they got.
This is horrifying!!!!! Thinking of her probably referring to him as her,” best friend “ is just so sad. He had no problem discussing her as “ the body” like she wasn’t a person at all. Great work. Love your channel 💖 Hope you’re staying safe and healthy 💖
Why would you tell your friends about the money and not your Dad? I feel so sorry for her father. Why would the aunt not tell the father? Her poor grandmother.
You’re such a great story teller.... the details and the way you told Sarah’s case was wonderful! I immediately subscribed!! It’s mind blowing and disgusting what greed could do to a person.
This case as well as other cases like this reminds me why i dont have "friends". I have my immediate family/ my pets are my best friends i choose but im sooooo good on calling people my friends. That word just does not have a consistant, life long connected energy. Keep your money gifts to yourself people share too much. Such a very sad case.
Tbh I don't think this was really about the money. The two killers were bored idiots who were looking for a reason to murder a pretty girl to feel powerful. Even if this was $100 k, that might last a year or two between the two of them.
I’ve heard of this case & it’s crazy! You can tell Sarah was such a bright light & so unbelievably talented. She would’ve gone onto do so many awesome thing’s. She was such a beautiful woman & to be brutally murdered by her “best friend’s” over a little bit of $ is so disgusting! So glad they’re rotting away in prison! RIH beautiful girl Fly high. My heart breaks for her dad.
This is so heartbreaking. I can't imagine the shock and horror her family experienced when learning it was her best "friends" who did this... RIP Sarah ❤
That guy Anthony should had said something! When someone speaks about killing someone for money it isn’t “a joke” or “what if” all this would had not happen if he took this seriously
Absolutely! How man times do we hear that someone had said to friend that they wanted to kill someone and no-one takes it seriously. How can you not take it serious. If something doesn’t sound right, it feels wrong. Report it!
He looks like he lives with the weight of that every day. With that said, I think it's plausible that he honestly believed Liam was talking shit. I didn't hear that he had given up any details to Anthony prior to committing the murder. It seemed to be mentioned once and not come up again until Anthony was reminded after the fact.
The cops wouln't have paid any attention if he had reported it. Teenage boys, into horror and violence, Liam was always trying out film ideas on Anthony so there's no reason why he should think this was anything more than a story idea. Especially since Liam was supposed to be such good friends with Sarah. Anthony obviously never had a second thought about it until he heard about Sarah's car on the bridge.
Please have some empathy, that poor guy probably has to live thinking "what if..." for the rest of his life. Also, even if he had told the police/family, what could they have done to prevent this? Probably nothing would have changed, sadly.
My last name is also Stern, so this hits extra hard. RIP, Sarah. 🖤 (No, I’m not related to Sarah, but I’d be proud to be because she seemed like a lovely individual)
and shoutout to rachel for always covering new jersey true crime cases! this one and stephanie parze. i never see my state covered, and not bc there’s not murders here.. i just guess the more intense cases are in other states. which is good lol. anyways, i do appreciate it, rachel! it’s good for me to realize that this could be me and it’s easier to see that when i see cases of places i drive through all the time. it’s good to always be aware and watch your back at all times.
I first heard about this on the morbid podcast but I love how you tell it as well! Thank you for covering this case. I hope so many people see it and that Sarah’s soul is at peace.
Perfect reason why you keep some things private. Can’t trust anyone. It’s scary how calmly he was able to retell his crime. I feel so horrible for Sarah & her family.
Amazing job, and research! I love the way you narrate all these crimes. All the passion you put into these crimes are felt, you’re a natural! I look forward to all of your videos.
I cross the Belmar bridge everyday, ill never forget the night it happened. My husband was on his way home and saw the abandoned car, had to be minutes before the uber driver reported it. I have lived in neptune most of my life, this shook our community.
The Equalizer movies... In the movie Denzel Washington pushes the stopwatch on his watch before he kills someone. Obviously, can't say that this was the inspiration, but as soon as you mentioned timing it, that movie is the first thing I thought of. Great video. All your videos are great though!
I would be pretty disappointed if my dog just watched calmly as someone was murdering me... The last thing you is your best friend doing nothing. Bark at least goddammit.
Hopefully mr stern can find peace his daughter was a really good person using the money her mom left her to help her grandma get a new tv Liam and Preston are monsters and didn’t deserve to know or have sarah in their lives
I think the most disturbing aspects of this case is that her killer was her best friend and that he was so nonchalant in describing it all. Money changes people, people kill for it all the time but for me money brings too many problems. I am happy with my simple life, I am far from rich but I'm happy. Thanks again for bringing these victim's stories to the light. I pray for her family and hope they can get the closure they need.
I just found your channel (immediate sub) and you're a very good story teller even though this is a terrible terrible story. I hope they both get the realisation of what they have done and have bad days for the rest of their lives.
i came to watch this after rewatching a julien solomita video, she was so caring and compassionate and shined like no other. it’s truly a shame that her life was lost over money or anything at all 😔
The fact that he timed the strangulation is horrendous, it makes me feel like he thought it would quick and easy and if it were he probably would have done it again and again...he didn't think she would have that much fight in her...he thought he could easily get to work after killing his friend because in his mind with his "super human strength" he thought it would take 2-5 min to kill her. He is one of the worst kinds
"With friends like these, who needs enemies"
Poor Sarah
Im telling you.
True!
The most uncomfortable thing, was the realization that he was her friend. Known her for YEARS. And was so nonchalant when talking about, not only killing her, but handling her body. You really can’t trust anyone!
Brianna Hawkins that’s what bothers me the most every time I hear this case ... so sad you can’t even trust your friends !
Trust no one completely, except God. Humans are imperfect, and all are subject to evil, at some point. It’s a decision. Liam made that decision for the supposed power that having money would give him. Wrong choice. How could Sarah be around these guys that long, and not see their character flaws?
Hope her father is at peace In his life. Prayers🙏❤️✌️
and saying how she pissed herself while he was choking her. He didn't care at all to even save her a little bit of dignity...

The picture of the father holding the frame... so wholesome... i hate the fact genuine people like her get killed or hurt.
He was so calm, as if recounting a movie. Good on the guy recording and sharing this confession. So sad.

So disturbing I hope he sees her in his dreams. Insane homicidal maniac what a social path.
I live near there and remember the coverage in the newspapers. My heart breaks for the father in this. Losing his wife and his daughter in the span of four years. These monsters deserved more than the sentences they got.
This is horrifying!!!!! Thinking of her probably referring to him as her,” best friend “ is just so sad. He had no problem discussing her as “ the body” like she wasn’t a person at all.
Great work. Love your channel 💖 Hope you’re staying safe and healthy 💖
The poor father! His wife dies of cancer then his daughter gets murdered😭
Why would you tell your friends about the money and not your Dad? I feel so sorry for her father. Why would the aunt not tell the father? Her poor grandmother.
You’re such a great story teller.... the details and the way you told Sarah’s case was wonderful! I immediately subscribed!! It’s mind blowing and disgusting what greed could do to a person.
Or speaker
This case as well as other cases like this reminds me why i dont have "friends". I have my immediate family/ my pets are my best friends i choose but im sooooo good on calling people my friends. That word just does not have a consistant, life long connected energy. Keep your money gifts to yourself people share too much. Such a very sad case.
Tbh I don't think this was really about the money. The two killers were bored idiots who were looking for a reason to murder a pretty girl to feel powerful. Even if this was $100 k, that might last a year or two between the two of them.
Those boys are so beyond evil… how could you ever do something like this to your friend of YEARS for just a little bit of cash 💔
I’m so glad you covered this case This is a case that still stuck with me this shows not everyone Is your friend
What a friends!
Look how proud he is explainig killing her...what a monster...
I’ve heard of this case & it’s crazy! You can tell Sarah was such a bright light & so unbelievably talented. She would’ve gone onto do so many awesome thing’s. She was such a beautiful woman & to be brutally murdered by her “best friend’s” over a little bit of $ is so disgusting! So glad they’re rotting away in prison! RIH beautiful girl Fly high. My heart breaks for her dad.
The disgust in Anthony’s face in court when he was describing what they Liam had told him he did to that poor girl.
This is so heartbreaking. I can't imagine the shock and horror her family experienced when learning it was her best "friends" who did this... RIP Sarah ❤
That guy Anthony should had said something! When someone speaks about killing someone for money it isn’t “a joke” or “what if” all this would had not happen if he took this seriously
Absolutely! How man times do we hear that someone had said to friend that they wanted to kill someone and no-one takes it seriously. How can you not take it serious. If something doesn’t sound right, it feels wrong. Report it!
Exactly what I was thinking. I was looking to see if someone else would mention that.
He looks like he lives with the weight of that every day. With that said, I think it's plausible that he honestly believed Liam was talking shit. I didn't hear that he had given up any details to Anthony prior to committing the murder. It seemed to be mentioned once and not come up again until Anthony was reminded after the fact.
The cops wouln't have paid any attention if he had reported it. Teenage boys, into horror and violence, Liam was always trying out film ideas on Anthony so there's no reason why he should think this was anything more than a story idea. Especially since Liam was supposed to be such good friends with Sarah. Anthony obviously never had a second thought about it until he heard about Sarah's car on the bridge.
Please have some empathy, that poor guy probably has to live thinking "what if..." for the rest of his life. Also, even if he had told the police/family, what could they have done to prevent this? Probably nothing would have changed, sadly.
This case took place in my town, I know everyone involved in it and when the truth came out our entire town was shook.
My last name is also Stern, so this hits extra hard. RIP, Sarah. 🖤
(No, I’m not related to Sarah, but I’d be proud to be because she seemed like a lovely individual)
I drive the bridge where they found her car all the time in the summer and ALWAYS get chills. ugh.
and shoutout to rachel for always covering new jersey true crime cases! this one and stephanie parze. i never see my state covered, and not bc there’s not murders here.. i just guess the more intense cases are in other states. which is good lol. anyways, i do appreciate it, rachel! it’s good for me to realize that this could be me and it’s easier to see that when i see cases of places i drive through all the time. it’s good to always be aware and watch your back at all times.
I first heard about this on the morbid podcast but I love how you tell it as well! Thank you for covering this case. I hope so many people see it and that Sarah’s soul is at peace.
These are the type of people the Death penalty is for
I am just in awe on what some people will do for money. This is very sad!
Perfect reason why you keep some things private. Can’t trust anyone. It’s scary how calmly he was able to retell his crime. I feel so horrible for Sarah & her family.
This is so.bad and example how u should never tell anyone when you come in to money this case is so sad terrible
Glad this case was finally covered, happier it was you to get her story out!
Wow this is just horrible! I listen to a lot of true crime but this one made me feel sick. The way he talked about it was just disgusting.
Love all your videos you do so great at explaining the details and I really like that you do it in such a respectful way
Amazing job, and research! I love the way you narrate all these crimes. All the passion you put into these crimes are felt, you’re a natural! I look forward to all of your videos.
I cross the Belmar bridge everyday, ill never forget the night it happened. My husband was on his way home and saw the abandoned car, had to be minutes before the uber driver reported it. I have lived in neptune most of my life, this shook our community.
This can happen to anyone. What should be your advice? The closest people betray.
Who need enemies when you got to evil friends like these.
Rachel, I enjoy your videos very much. Thank you for your great in depth investigation and respectful presentation! Wishing you much success!
The Equalizer movies... In the movie Denzel Washington pushes the stopwatch on his watch before he kills someone. Obviously, can't say that this was the inspiration, but as soon as you mentioned timing it, that movie is the first thing I thought of.
Great video. All your videos are great though!
Rest In paradise beautiful angel 🥺💞👸🏻
thank you beautiful angel for covering this case 🥺🌸
Can't TRUST anyone these days...NOT EVEN YOUR BEST FRIEND YOU GREW UP WITH!!! So SAD !!
Such an incredibly tragic story. Thanks for covering it.
Did I hear Liam say Sarah's dog didn't do anything to help Sarah? 😣😯😔
I would be pretty disappointed if my dog just watched calmly as someone was murdering me... The last thing you is your best friend doing nothing. Bark at least goddammit.
Never had a dog, so how would the dog know...its a dog
Wish the dog woulda ripped his ass to pieces but it was probably scared too 😢
Klara omg 🤣
Excellent presentation, Rachael. Thank you!
You covered so much more in this video than the previous 2 I have watched from That Chapter and some news channel.
I feel SO bad for her dad! You can tell they loved eachother. He lost his wife and now his daughter ;(
I just watched this in like 48 hours or 20/20..... one of them! So sad, my thoughts & prayers go out to the family!🙏🏼💕
This is just proof you can’t trust anyone💯 so sad😢
Preston DESERVES WAY MORE THAN 18 years. That is so maddening… UGHHHHH
Infuriating he's eligible for parole in 2032. Bs
Such a great video! You always do an amazing job 😁👍
Hopefully mr stern can find peace his daughter was a really good person using the money her mom left her to help her grandma get a new tv Liam and Preston are monsters and didn’t deserve to know or have sarah in their lives
I think the most disturbing aspects of this case is that her killer was her best friend and that he was so nonchalant in describing it all. Money changes people, people kill for it all the time but for me money brings too many problems. I am happy with my simple life, I am far from rich but I'm happy. Thanks again for bringing these victim's stories to the light. I pray for her family and hope they can get the closure they need.
I just found your channel (immediate sub) and you're a very good story teller even though this is a terrible terrible story. I hope they both get the realisation of what they have done and have bad days for the rest of their lives.
OMG Rachel, listening to your uploads is like True Crime ASMR! 😍
and while I'm way too old to be fangirling...
*FANGIRLING!*
Love your videos! 😙💕💕xx
I thought Liam found his own phone later on in Sarah’s driveway.🤔
I must say the eyeshadow is poppin 🤣🖤
Lol thank you!
i came to watch this after rewatching a julien solomita video, she was so caring and compassionate and shined like no other. it’s truly a shame that her life was lost over money or anything at all 😔
Your makeup looks stunning. Just found your channel. Wishing u blessings.
This story fascinates me! Every time I hear it
I’m just so happy they didn’t get away with it!! Also don’t ever tell anybody how much money you have.
It seems strange that the victim did not see signs of her "friend" being a psychopath. That is scary.
“To look for my phone. Which is a reasonable thing to do.”
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you. Also this is so sad, rip beautiful girl. She had no idea.😫
Poor poor Sarah (I’m Sara by the way!), greed is such a terrible terrible thing. Love, thoughts and prayers to her family and friends.
Geez...who TF needs enemies, when BFF's do shit like this? SMH this poor girl
Thank you for your channel Rachel, you are an angel on earth. God bless.
Great video! Love your channel🖤🖤🖤
The fact that he timed the strangulation is horrendous, it makes me feel like he thought it would quick and easy and if it were he probably would have done it again and again...he didn't think she would have that much fight in her...he thought he could easily get to work after killing his friend because in his mind with his "super human strength" he thought it would take 2-5 min to kill her. He is one of the worst kinds
you cover such modern cases, i like that
