Sarah Washington, 25, of Kankakee, Illinois, was found shot twice in the head inside her unlocked apartment on June 26, 2014. Her mother went to drive her to work, found Sarah unresponsive after knocks and calls went unanswered, and entry was gained without signs of forced entry. Investigators recovered .380-caliber shell casings at the scene, and the lack of forced entry suggested Sarah likely knew her killer.

Early suspicion fell on an on-again, off-again boyfriend, Greg Dismuke, described as possessive, though no evidence directly tied him to the crime. Attention later focused on Greg’s friend, Rex Frank, who had visited Sarah’s apartment that morning, had asked Greg for money and a gun, and later called to report police activity at the apartment. Ballistics later linked the .380 casings from Sarah’s scene to casings from the July 2014 murder of Rian Maiden. Rex ultimately confessed to killing Rian, admitted using Rian’s ATM card, and investigators found inconsistencies in his alibi for Sarah’s murder. Rex Frank was arrested and charged in both deaths.

Anyone who knew Sarah, her routines, or saw Rex Frank in Kankakee around June 26, 2014, is asked to share what they know.
