Covert Confession: The Betrayal Of Sarah Stern

Just before 3am, police found Sarah Stern’s abandoned car on the side of a bridge. After speaking to her best friends, they had worries about her state of mind and thought might have jumped. But it soon became obvious, that those closest to her, actually had something to hide…

[@luilang7002]

1. Anthony is a hero 2. Never let anyone know how much money you have

[@Davanillaguerrilla]

I'm not so sure.. he says he didn't put it together until he actually killed her. That he mentioned the movie plot DAYS before. I think he knew it wasn't a movie plot, Liam told him to say that. He knew it was a real plot to kill her he just didn't think they would really do it and tell him about it afterwards but I think he knew all along he was going to / did kill Sarah That's why he seemingly already knows when he says "why is the FBI after you " "4 kiling Sarah" He basically is admitting he knew about everything B4 even the money he just didn't know it was for real. So why wouldn't he respond "so you guys did it?" Or something like that

[@shaldana]

@@Davanillaguerrilla Because he's a kid trying to get a confession from his best friend, still reeling from the horror that it's not a movie. I find his answers & behaviours totally believable. He's not some trained FBI agent here, he's a terrified kid.

[@JulieRushworth]

I had to skip that bit, he's vile

[@207humanity]

He’s a sociopath, 100%. Greedy, selfish, opportunistic, callous and completely lacking empathy. He sees people as objects to use and discard whenever he pleases. The only person he truly cares about is himself. He was never a true friend, only a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It was a matter of time before he did something to someone. If it wasn’t Sarah, it likely would’ve been someone else. I can’t imagine the terror Sarah must’ve felt during the agonizing half an hour before her passing. The fear must’ve been absolutely indescribable. I feel so sorry for Sarah and her family. Liam and Preston are truly monsters. The fact that Preston is even eligible for parole is wrong in my opinion. He also should be serving a full life sentence.

[@Uniquecleaninglady]

Agreed! I'd be hard pressed not to be there if they ever let him out or reduce his sentence. This is so disgusting 😮 how dare he betray a friendship like that?? Filthy. Waste of oxygen. OK 😂 I'm done venting.

[@nonyabusiness31]

@@Uniquecleaninglady This is a real rough one but if there is any consolation, both his friends turned on him like he did to her, one to save himself and the other just to bust him. Now he has nobody and he will be targeted hard by real hardened criminals in prison because of what he did and what he looks like - a rich looking little baby faced worm. She suffered badly for 30 minutes but he will suffer every single day for the rest of his life. Maybe she can be with her Mom now, if you believe that....

[@lornaginetteharrison7168]

I’m so fed up of members of the murderer’s family putting out statements professing the murderer’s innocence. I guess you’re perfectly entitled to live in your own delusional little fantasy world, but Liam’s mother insisting on publicly stating her son is wonderful and completely innocent in the face of absolutely overwhelming evidence of his guilt is utterly appalling. What a terrible thing to say, further hurting Sarah’s family. Disgusting woman with an evil son.

[@buzzbabe1901]

Terribly horrible family!

[@saga2964]

You have to wonder if something in that attitude of Liam's mother (either completely clueless missing signs, or neglectful of him, or so narcissistic she couldn't see beyond her own ego, etc.) contributes to raising someone like this. It seems so many parents of cold, sociopathic killers are unbelievably clueless, denying it in almost a cold way themselves.

[@LDB2325]

Enabling parents. Guilty themselves too. POSs

[@TiggerTiger-le8kc]

His parents spoiled him beyond measure. They’ve let him get away with everything in his life, he believes he’s entitled to the world because his parents told him he is. That combined with any absence of empathy can create a monster like Liam. The man who abused me was exactly the same - no empathy and indulgent parents who heard no wrong about him. It creates the most entitled pos on the planet.

[@carolynw3602]

She raised a demonic psycho, void of a conscience, so she helped create that monster by not teaching it right from wrong and she's still supporting it.

Doesn't necessarily have to be someone u are close to though, someone went around telling people I had a bunch of money in my house. They planned to kick in the AC when I was gone and climb in the window but Instead they got a girl that I knew to open the door. The guy just followed her in and pulled out guns. She acted like she didn't know that was the plan. I never did have the money they were looking for so he threatened to tie me up and take me somewhere I knew the guy that did it, but not well, I never hung out with him, he was the furthest person from my mind.

Sure, Liam. You're absolutely in a position to evaluate the "worth" of a dog's spirit. What kind of dog is that? I'll tell you.

That one was crazy. I can't understand people killing for such a "low" amount of money. I mean of course it's wrong either way, but at least I'd get why someone might go "the extra mile" for a life with millions, living in luxury and never having to work again. But 10k? That gets you nothing really. A used car. Even if there would have been 100k, it's absolutely ridiculous.

[@loandbehold5178]

On another YT video discussing this case, Sarah actually had a lot more money than $10K in the bank but Liam thought all that money was in her safe at home. That’s why he was upset he only found $10K in the safe.

[@Tsumami__]

I’ve thought about that position before, but sometimes I stop and think about the fact that to many people, $10,000 is a life changing amount of money. Some people really get that desperate because of fear of homelessness or losing what little they have because of an impending major payment they could never scrape together. Granted, this little turd sack Liam was clearly in no desperate place, he was some spoilt nasty little middle class brat who could have easily asked his mommy and daddy to loan him money or could’ve gotten off his butt and gotten a second job.

[@Davanillaguerrilla]

I honestly don't think that was the whole/ true motive They might have just said it was inheritance money, why would it be old bills that are no good think about it. It could've been stolen money. But it could've been real money. Drug money. Bricks of dope. Gold, silver, diamonds, Pills, guns .. there are a lot of things that could REALLY be inside a safe in someone's house.

[@Davanillaguerrilla]

Also I thought he robbed her and killed her for the money in the house but she made a withdrawal of 7k right before so did he convince her to take it out so he could rob her for that too Or could it be she just pulled out 7k on the regular, he just got to know her routine.

I lost my best friend of 16 years to a heart attack last year. It felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest, like I’d never be able to live again. This girl who I met when we were 4 and just learning to live, had died. My past without her doesn’t exist but neither does my future with her and accepting that is something I may never do. She’d been sick from a young age and we always knew she’d die prematurely, but even with 16 years to prepare myself, my world still fell to pieces. Not in a million years could I even begin to fathom what Liam did to Sarah. A truly heartless human he must be.

[@tishmolloy6771]

Heard this case before and It breaks my heart every time I hear it. Your coverage was exceptional, thoughtful and thorough.

[@pearlygates9763]

This is one case that always stay in my mind. Very sad

[@Anthony19byrne]

The anger i feel listening to him talk about taking Sarah's life is beyond me. She had what looked like a bright future ahead of her and these selfish scumbags took it away. Hope they never sees the light of day again.

[@crazyhorse2542]

I listen to most but this is in my opinion the best online crime documentary channel. Thanks for your hard work.

[@deeayenn]

Such a disgusting betrayal...

[@Natasha-xh7pf]

Poor Sarah but also Buddy. He saw his owner being murdered by someone they both thought they could trust. That's probably why he did nothing but watch. He probably thought they were playing as well as maybe some fear. Dogs can't express their feelings or maybe even show them in the way humans do but that just makes it harder for them. They don't understand or know how to process them. I hope Buddy and Sarah's dad looked after each other and helped each other through it. Animals are often forgotten in cases like these but they truly hurt when their whole world is destroyed, and that is what their owner and best friend is to them.

That prom photo is so eerie.

[@carriefawcett9990]

Thank you so much to Anthony, you're a gem. It's no easy feat being kitted out with listening devices. That was so hard to listen to. That poor girl. 😢

[@janessap1739]

My stepdaughter knew her, grew up w her. It traumatized her, so I can only imagine how Sarah’s family felt 😢 This was absolutely truly criminal. Liam is a purely evil POS how could he do that??! Uggh 🤬😭We live in NJ & this rocked many communities. RIP beautiful angel 🙏🏻

[@videohut4445]

RIP. Thoughts are with her family and friends. Her biggest mistake was telling him or anyone about her inheritance. She should have told no one. She would most likely be alive if she had not said anything. We have to be very careful when discussing money with anyone. And I mean anyone. Family, friends, etc. That mistake sadly cost her life. Keep financial information private. Just because we have close friends means we can discuss anything with them.

[@cdes1776]

That's not the point. We should be able to trust whom we tell. They were her best friends!

[@normn2915]

​@@cdes1776 The OP is right, trust absolutely no one nowadays especially telling people about your money and Inheritance.

[@TiggerTiger-le8kc]

I’m autistic and can be overly trusting, less so now, but I often trust people I know. I’m 31 and my mum told me off last week for telling my work colleagues I came into money and told me that there are very few people you can trust with this sort of information because they become envious and may react badly.

[@rodfrancis267]

You do an outstanding job with your videos. The hard work and attention to detail is evident. Perfect amount of real body cam and court content, narration and script are very strong. You convey the emotion and add some minor editorializing, just enough to personalize the content. So much better than the money-saving AI voice narrator crap. Keep up the tremendous work. Cheers from Montreal.

The dude wanted to be a film director and he got to act (unwittingly) in the only movie he'll ever produce...

[@stevielove4778]

You can tell what kind of person Liam is day-to-day, when he says he was worried about the dog -- says “he’s a beagle but he’s the size of a Great Dane”… a great dane??? Uhhh no, it is the size of a beagle lol. A beagle the size of a Great Dane would be in Guinness.

[@eadweard.]

How does that tell us what kind of person he is?

[@paulinegallagher7821]

@@eadweard. It tells us that he is either completely apathetic to everything about Sarah including what her own beloved dog looks like, or he has a very distorted sense of reality.

[@oxenrat]

That poor young lady, betrayal by her closest friend over pitiful money, I hope he simmers in the reality of what he did and how pathetic he truly is, didn't even have the integrity to admit what he did, pathetic. Preston is just as pathetic, he should have told anyone Prestons plan, I sincerely hope they both feel how she must have in this betrayal in the highest degree, disgusting animals. May her Dad hold her memories and Buddy close.

I live in NJ, thanks for covering this terribly tragic case. One doesn’t know all the details of these crimes until we hear them on true crime podcasts.

[@SammersJammers]

Always look forward to your uploads.❤ Plus this case was absolutely atrocious, so sad for Sarah and the ones who truly love her. The fact greed was more important to this piece of garbage shows that not everyone is who they claim to be, hope he rots in prison.

[@suzannebaxter2888]

Want to know what a psychopath looks like then look no further than this young man. One of the weaknesses of psychopaths is their lack of empathy. They struggle to understand and relate to the emotions and experiences of others. Psychopaths often engage in criminal, cruel, or socially irresponsible behaviour, including lying, stealing, or being violent or abusive toward others they can sweet talk their friends especially if the are easily manipulated. His friend who went along with it shows that. Because psychopaths have no empathy for a person's needs or rights, they also feel no remorse even when their actions harm others. Would he have done this had there been no money ? or was it just the money that took away his good side and fully embraced the side of him that has always been there. Psychology is an interesting subject and as horrific as this case is watching him tell his friend in the car in such a cold and meticulous manner shows he is a borderline sociopath/psychopath. His eyes are dead in every single photograph that was shown there is no emotions what so ever. His mother refusing to believe her son could do something like that when he himself admitted to it on camera. May also be a signal. The best friend wasn't Sarah your friend also. This lovely young woman on the cusp of the rest of her life was taken all because of money. Her father lost his wife and his only child. The fact that this piece of filth tried to direct the police to her father was unbelievable but again he has spun this web of lies and the thing with lies is you need a photographic memory because one wrong word can be your downfall.

[@Scipio_Americanus]

Thanks sigmund😒

[@bunnyluver2176]

The part about the dog is so sad. Liam was talking about the dog not doing anything but the dog probably trusted Liam like she did so didn't understand what was going on.

[@PrometheusOfVideos]

Wow, I knew Liam was going to be the main culprit but the way he casually explained everything to Anthony totally blindsided me!!! Once the topic of money came up, I knew how this was going to end, but holy moly.. RIP Sarah.. shoutout to Anthony for going through that to bring justice to that POS Liam. My heart goes out to Sarah's father...first he lost his wife and now his daughter. The loss of a child is THE worst loss anyone could go through... I hope he'll be okay and has a good support group around him.

[@chrisnelson1928]

I remember hearing this on another podcast and it really got to me. Mainly because of the recording of him describing everything. Just the thought of her father having to listen to that in court. I really hope he’s managed to find some kind of happiness in his life now.
