Justice For Saria

07/20/2024

Unfortunately at the hearing on the 17th they pushed the scheduling of the trial. There will be a hearing again on 7/31 and we hope to have some better news then.

06/09/2024

We finally have an update and some forward momentum. On July 17th there will be hearing to set a start date for Saria’s trial.

This news is both welcome and anxiety inducing. We are grateful to hopefully be on our way to getting justice for Saria, but we also know that the start of the trial will bring with it many emotions and heartache.

Reliving the experience and learning more details about the case will be difficult for us, her family. We appreciate all of your support moving forward, as well as the kindness and aide that has been given up to this point.

Please keep Saria and her family and friends in your thoughts as we move towards the next steps in finding justice for our dearly missed girl.

During the hearing today, the Saria’s trial was given another continuation. The next court date will be 1/3/24. We are hopeful that the District Attorney’s office is carefully preparing for the hearings to come and that there will be some movement in the case with the start of a new year.

With the holiday season here, we are missing Saria dearly and can’t wait to get justice for her untimely death. Thank you to all who are following along and supporting us.

The hearing this week was pushed back to later this month. We did anticipate that would be the case, and it is likely it will be pushed back even further as they lawyers continue to gather evidence and build her case.

A judge has decided to push the hearing for the Alaska man accused of killing his wife from Utah until later this month, a move many find to not be surprising.
