Sadie Louise Farmer was found murdered on October 28, 1991, inside a residence at 909 E. Bragg Street in Greensboro, North Carolina. Authorities initially had difficulty identifying suspects, and her death occurred amid a troubling rise in violent crimes against women in the area during the early 1990s.

Investigators considered possible links between Farmer’s killing and other murders in the region. During that period, Robert Sylvester Alston was active in Greensboro and responsible for multiple brutal murders of women who were sex workers or struggling with addiction; his involvement in Farmer’s case was speculated but no direct link was established. The case remains unsolved; anyone with information that could help bring justice to her family is asked to come forward.
