Carolyn Eaton was 17 years old when she was murdered. She was previously unidentified until 2021, but her body was found on Valentine’s Day of 1982 in Williams, Arizona. She was dubbed “Valentine Sally” because no one knew her true identity. One witness played a major role in Eaton’s case, identifying her after seeing her with a truck driver and the witness provided aspirin to the victim. Eaton’s fate may have been at the hands of a serial killer.

The Chief Suspect Podcast, hosted by Chief Advocate editor-in-chief Izzy DiNunzio, brings attention to cases that have gone cold.
