Charmaine Sabrah was 26 and a single mother living in Sacramento, California, when she disappeared in 1986 after accepting a ride from a man who stopped to help her and her mother with car trouble on Interstate 5. She wanted to return home to her infant child; her body was found months later and investigators determined she had been strangled.

Authorities linked Sabrah’s killing to a serial offender dubbed the I-5 Strangler. Roger Kibbe became the primary suspect; his known pattern included abducting women near highways, binding them with parachute rigging cord, applying duct tape, and strangulation. Kibbe was arrested in 1987 after an attempted handcuffing/assault and later connected to multiple unsolved murders. He pleaded guilty in 2009 to six additional murders and received multiple life sentences.

Sabrah’s death was one of several across multiple California jurisdictions tied to that investigation. Does anyone who knew Charmaine or her family, or who traveled I-5 in 1986, have information that could shed light on her final movements?
