Sara Musa was 28 and lived in Hialeah, Florida when she was murdered on April 22, 1986. She was one of the victims linked to Manuel Pardo Jr., a former police officer who carried out a series of killings in 1986 that claimed multiple lives, including Musa and her roommate Fara Quintero.

Investigators concluded Pardo targeted certain people because he believed he was ridding the world of drug dealers and criminals; that belief was presented during prosecution and did not prevent his conviction. Pardo was convicted on multiple counts of first-degree murder and later sentenced to death. An accomplice, Rolando Garcia, was also implicated and faced numerous charges; some charges were severed for separate trial proceedings and he was acquitted on some counts and convicted on others.

The case underscores the brutality of the 1986 killing spree and the lengthy legal process that followed. Did anyone who knew Sara in Hialeah in 1986 have memories or information to share about her life or the weeks before April 22?
