THE DETAILS SURROUNDING THE CRIMES
Sarah Rae Boehm, a fourteen-year-old female teen, was reported missing by her parents on July 14, 1994, to local law enforcement in Beaver County, Pennsylvania. Several months later, on November 4, 1994, Sarah's remains were discovered in the "Berlin Reservoir," located within an Ohio state park, Portage County, Ohio. This rural community in Ohio was located approximately two hours away from the victim's home in Pennsylvania.

Additionally, Kathryn Menendez, another female teen victim, went missing on August 21, 1994, and her nude body was found several days later on an oil road near the "Berlin Reservoir." Kathryn had been strangled to death. Both Sarah and Kathryn's bodies were located approximately 1/2 mile apart in the same Ohio state park. Seventeen-year-old Kathryn was from Portage County, Ohio.

Information is being sought in both cases. Specifically, how Boehm from Pennsylvania ended up murdered in Ohio and information regarding the murder of Menendez. Investigators believe the two cases may be related. The FBI from both Pennsylvania and Ohio have been working closely with local law enforcement from Portage County, Ohio, as well as Beaver County, Pennsylvania.

IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION CONCERNING THESE TWO CASES, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL FBI OFFICE OR THE NEAREST AMERICAN EMBASSY OR CONSULATE.

FBI seeking new clues in deaths of two teenage girls 15 years ago

The Review

Although their cases have become cold, Sarah Rae Boehm and Kathryn Menendez have not been forgotten.

Late Monday morning, a billboard began reminding passing motorists on U.S. Route 62 east of Alliance of the gruesome discoveries in the vicinity of Berlin Reservoir almost 15 years ago.

The girls, apparently unrelated and unknown to each other, became linked in death after Portage County investigators discovered their bodies in 1994 within a half-mile vicinity of each other, and only months apart.

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which appears to have commissioned the billboard, Boehm, a 14-year-old from Beaver County, Pa., was reported to be a runaway on July 14, 1994. Her story still beckons for leads on the Beaver County Crime Solvers Web site, which reported that she left her parents’ house around 11 p.m. to stay overnight at a female friend’s house.

Boehm never arrived at that residence, and her friend wasn’t expecting her.

Beaver County’s Rochester Township police received several reports of Boehm being sighted over the next few weeks, but she was never located, according to the Crime Solvers.

Several months later and 60 miles west in Alliance, 17-year-old Kathryn Menendez disappeared on Aug. 21, 1994. Days later, Menendez’s nude body was discovered on an oil well road near Berlin Reservoir — not too far from her home.

Menendez had been strangled.

On Nov. 4 of that same year, a hunter discovered a body within a half-mile of where Menendez had been found, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. In June 2003, DNA tests confirmed that those remains belonged to Boehm.

A reward is being offered in the cases, which the FBI believes may be related, according to the agency’s Web site.

Anyone with possible information on either of these cases is asked to call (330) 535-6156.

It took all those years to ID her but thanks to DNA they finally did. No mention if they have any unknown DNA that matches on both of the girls found in that area but I hope they do.
