About Killing Yakima

Ryan Glenn Moore: In an attempt to bring some consolation to the parents of a suicide victim, the author agreed to look into the circumstances of their adult son’s death and dispel hurtful rumors. What was discovered in research was that the rumors had some thread of truth, along with a previously unknown, horrifying conclusion to Ryan’s life.--Sara Luz Bustos: Sara was a pretty, naive, cocaine addicted 21-year-old, living in a dysfunctional environment on the east side of Yakima, Washington. In order to maintain her addiction, she traded her attention to male suitors for access to the drug. One boyfriend was into the drug scene, and another was a Yakima police officer. Sara had no idea how dangerous a game she was playing when she offered to provide information about her former boyfriend’s drug dealing to her new police officer lover. Unfortunately, Sara was soon found face down in the Yakima River with a rock stuffed in her mouth. The policeman, on his day-off, mysteriously showed up uninvited at the body recovery site. He entered the crime scene, viewed the corpse of his lover, and kept her identity and his intimate relationship with her from investigating detectives. Sara’s handwritten diary, discovered months later, however, revealed the true details of their romance prior to her murder. Consequently, the Yakima Police Department’s homicide investigation was compromised due to a major conflict of interest. Read about how Sara’s killing, after nearly 25 years still awaits justice.
