Summary: The story started as a missing persons case. It ended as a murder case, which prosecutors say was executed as part of a rape and murder fantasy. The Lehigh Valley, and beyond, has been trying to figure out what happened to 14-year-old Grace Packer for more than a year. The pre-trial hearings for her adoptive mother, Sara Packer, and Sara's boyfriend, Jacob Sullivan, who have been charged with the rape and murder, start the week of January 22. In this episode, host Kayla Dwyer discusses the case to date with courts reporter Laurie Mason Schroeder. Valley View is a general news podcast by The Morning Call in Allentown, Pennsylvania, sponsored by the Lehigh Center for Clinical Research. Music in this episode is by Gavin Skinner, Marvin Gratton and Thomas Brown.
