Let us remember Sarah Goode who was went missing on June 6, 2014
and do not forget her on her birthday on December 29.
Let us pray for the victim and their family. Since
New York’s death penalty is unconstitutional, we are happy that at least her
killer, Dante Taylor will not get to keep his life since
he was found dead on October 7, 2017.

The Rape and
Murder of Sarah Goode
Updated April 17, 2018
In the summer of 2014, a 21-year-old
Long Island mother was reported missing by her family. When her body was later
found in the woods, an autopsy and investigation revealed that she had been
brutally raped and stabbed to death by a man whose advances she had resisted at
a party.

Mom of
4-Year-Old Vanishes
On June 8, 2014, Goode's family reported
her missing to the local police after they had not seen her for two days.
The family of Sarah P. Goode called
Suffolk County police Sunday and said they had not seen her for two days.
About an hour later, Goode's gray 1999
BMW was found parked in a wooded area in Medford, far from the Long Island home
where Goode lived with her mother and daughter. Although the car was not broken
into, police said it was found under "suspicious circumstances."
Suffolk County Detective Michael
Fitzharris would not say what those circumstances were and would not say if
Goode's personal belongings were in the vehicle.
Police used K-9 units to search the
wooded area where the car was found.
"This is a 21-year-old gainfully
employed Long Island girl. Everyone has to have their vehicle out here. For her
family to not see her for a few days … we take that very seriously,"
Fitzharris told reporters.
Searchers Find
Sarah Goode's Body
Almost a week after she vanished, on
June 12, 2014, a group of searchers found the body of 21-year-old Sarah Goode
in the woods within a mile from where her abandoned 1999 BMW was
found the day after she was reported missing.
A search party of about 45
people was searching the woods off Camden Court in Medford when
Goode's body was found.

Killer
Charged
On July 12, 2014, a 19-year-old former
Marine whose advances were rejected by 21-year-old Long Island mom Sarah Goode
was been arrested in connection with her murder. Dante Taylor was arraigned on
murder charges in a Central Islip courtroom as grisly details of Goode's death
were revealed by prosecutors.
About 50 family members of Goode's were
present in court, sometimes responding verbally as prosecutor Janet Albertson
described how Goode was killed.
Albertson told the court that Taylor
brutally raped Goode then beat her with a sharp metal object so badly that a
piece of metal was found in her skull. The inside of Goode's vehicle was
covered in blood. Taylor then dumped her body, nude from the waist down, in the
woods.
Taylor was arrested last week in Vero
Beach, Florida on unrelated charges. Prosecutors said a bloody handprint in
Goode's car and text messages between him and Goode on the night she went
missing linked him to the murder.
Taylor was charged with second-degree
murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole. In October 2017, the
22-year-old man was found dead in prison. Goode's family responded to this news
with a Facebook post, which read:
“The monster who so violently ended Sarah’s young life will no longer breathe another breath, will no longer see another day, will no longer have the privilege of living a life — something he made certain she could not do. Sarah’s beauty is eternal. Her laugh is unforgettable. Her memories are carved in the hearts of all whom she met.”
