Wow! Does not make sense in light of:
Would like to see a formal will....
How bad was the cancer?
Did she own the gun?
Suicide by shooting is rare for women, and rare too in head/face.
Since he's married, going to police and not got going to her townhouse?
Since bf said he hadn't seen her in days - that's perfect for checking phone, social media, and surveillance to disprove.
Hope they get whomever did this. She is so beautiful, what a shame!
I was Sarah's former fiancé. We dated and lived together from 1996 to 2004. We both worked for Lowe's Companies corporate. First in WILKESBORO and then in Mooresville. I ended our engagement in 2004 and Sarah moved out of our house and into a townhouse she bought in Davidson, NC.
After an initial "cooling off" period of a few months, Sarah and I regained contact and remained very close until her murder. We saw each other in the office and maintained steady contact via text on a nearly daily basis. While I knew Sarah was depressed at times, she was never severely depressed. Around 2010 she left Lowe's to work for a contractor of Lowe's, so she was still regularly in the office and in contact with me. In many ways I was the "adult" in her life and the one she came to for adult oriented advice. She knew I didn't approve of her drug use, especially anything greater than pot. While I knew she sampled other drugs in her past, during college, she was in no way a regular drug user and was not using illegal drugs in 2014. However, I do believe she had a prescription for painkillers for her knees and back and we talked about her injuries and pain and I'm confident she was in no way an addict or an over user of painkillers.
While I can't speak to every detail of her relationship with William Drew Becker, who she met in 2013/early 2014 - or her relationship with her husband, who she complained to me was a bit mentally abusive to her, I can say two things for certain. First, she was not dying of cancer. She was successfully treated for a benign tumor at one point and that was it. If she did have terminal cancer, I know for certain she would have contacted me immediately for counsel and support. Next, she was never suicidal. If she was, it was in her nature to contact me for help and she would have written about it in her journal she wrote in regularly.
Sarah's mother lived with us after a severe auto accident in 1996 when I first met her. She needed daily care because she couldn't walk, bath, etc. We nursed her back to health but mentally, she was never the same. Faye (Sarah's mother) inherited a bit more than $1 million from the death of her father and Sarah inherited the full amount when Faye passed away in a house fire in Purlear, NC a few years before Sarah's death. When we moved to Moooresville, Faye stayed in Purlear and lived next to our old landlord in a house he owned. Sarah battled her younger brother over the inheritance, however Sarah always intended the money was being saved in order to care for her older brother Russel "Rusty" who lived in a group home in Alamance County because he was low functioning mentally retarded. Sarah always planned to care for Rusty after her father passed away and we always talked about her saving the money to help care for him.
This is why the notion of Sarah choosing to 1. Will her estate to Drew Becker instead of her brother or father is ridiculous on its face. 2. If this was her plan at any time, she most definitely would have discussed the idea with me at some point. The idea that she would suddenly turn her back on her brother who she loved deeply is not believable.
I'm confident Drew Becker murdered Sarah and made it look like a suicide. She was shot with the .357 Magnum I purchased for her in WILKESBORO years earlier. She was right handed and the gun was found in her left hand instead of the other side of the room, where the natural recoil of the weapon would have carried it. I also believe Becker drugged her in a method similar to what he tried to do to his wife a few months earlier. Sarah was a devote vegetarian and didn't consume dairy. However, there was a dairy milkshake on the scene I believe Becker used to drug her.
In short, Becker is the prime suspect and person of interest and I believe created a fictitious will and falsified her signature. The only reason the police have not arrested Becker is they can't place him at the scene of the crime. While there is a witness to someone seeing a person in the area of her townhouse, they can't identify him for certain.
Becker has since moved out of state. However, I believe he'll continue to prey on innocent woman and people if he believes he can get away with it. It's my hope that he'll eventually do or say something that will help place him at the scene of the crime,
I miss Sarah and she never deserved to be taken from us this way.
