On May 4, 2026, Jason Chen returned to Hamilton County Criminal Court in Chattanooga, Tennessee, asking for a new trial in the murder case of Jasmine Pace.

Chen's defense argued that issues from the original trial warranted another chance to make his case, including questions about evidence, the search of Chen's apartment, and the presence of Jasmine's family members in the courtroom. Judge Boyd Patterson denied the motion, stating that the arguments had already been litigated and that the court would rely on the same conclusions previously reached.

For Sara Reid, Juror Number 11 in the original trial, this update is not just a legal development. It is a return to the courtroom, the evidence, the verdict, and the weight of what the jury was asked to decide.

In this bonus episode of SEQUESTERED, Sara walks through the latest ruling, what it means for the conviction and sentence, and why Jasmine Pace remains at the center of this story.

The verdict stands. The sentence remains in place. And Jasmine is not forgotten.

In September of 1981, the Oklahoma State Fair was in full swing; bright lights, crowded walkways, and the kind of place where parents felt safe letting their kids roam free.
That's where 13-year-old friends Charlotte Kinsey and Cinda Pallett were last seen.
After being offered what seemed like a harmless job unloading stuffed animals, the girls left the fairgrounds with a man they didn't know. They even called home to tell their parents about the job, and were told to call back later to arrange a ride.
That call never came.
What followed was a nationwide search, a critical witness account that extended their final known movements beyond the fairgrounds, and a suspect investigators believed had done this before.
But despite mounting evidence, a chilling pattern, and years of investigation, the case would collapse in court.
More than four decades later, Charlotte and Cinda have never been found.
And the man many believe responsible was never convicted of their murders.
This is the disappearance of Charlotte Kinsey and Cinda Pallett.

In April 1980, fourteen-year-old Laureen Rahn vanished from her home in Manchester, New Hampshire.

There were no signs of a struggle. No witnesses. No clear explanation for how a teenager could disappear from a third-floor apartment in the middle of the night.

In the hours that followed, investigators were left with only a handful of details - a friend asleep inside, an open back door, and a timeline that stopped at the moment Laureen moved from her bed to the couch.

Months later, a series of phone calls would surface, pulling the case thousands of miles away from New Hampshire…and raising questions that have never been answered.

In Episode 1 of SEQUESTERED Season 4, Sara Reid reconstructs the final known hours of Laureen's disappearance; and the quiet, unresolved mystery at the center of a case that remains open more than four decades later.
