The season premiere of "48 Hours" on CBS Saturday night will take local residents back to 1993—a year forever etched in the memories of those in the Mohawk Valley.

Correspondent Erin Moriarty traveled to the Mohawk Valley to investigate the abduction of Sara Anne Wood.

Lewis S. Lent Jr., a movie theater custodian and handyman, confessed to kidnapping and killing Sara Anne in 1996, drawing a map to show investigators where he supposedly buried her body near Raquette Lake in the Adirondacks.

Lent has since sent investigators on more wild goose chases, including to a rural area near Pownal, Vermont in November of last year and to a property in Lanesborough, Massachusetts in June.

The search for Sara and the cat-and-mouse game between authorities and her killer to get him to reveal where her remains are located is the focus of "The Unending Search for Sara Anne Wood." Correspondent Erin Moriarty reports in the season premiere of "48 Hours," airing Saturday, Sept. 21 at 10/9c on CBS and streams on Paramount+.

Treen, who spent many long hours interviewing Lent in prison, said that Lent admitted he would often drive for many miles hunting for children to kidnap. "(Lent) had a large hunting area. He mentioned that if he had money and he had the gas, that's what he would do … he would go out looking for vulnerable children."
 
I live an hour-ish away from where Sara Anne Wood was abducted and it was a case that gripped everyone here. Such a safe, rural area, you would never expect this to happen. Thankfully, the killer is incarcerated and not hunting children anymore. I hope they find little Sara.

Lewis Lent was convicted for murdering two children in Massachusetts and New York, including 12-year-old Sara Anne Wood. But investigators still don't know where he buried her.

Here's a timeline of this decadeslong saga.
 
Just now watching 48hrs episode and there was a man that said he was a friend of Lent and that Lent helped with foundation issues at his home in 1994 I would look at that house. MOO
