In May of 2005, a sense of unease settled over a West Baltimore neighborhood as police were called to the home of Sadie L. Mack. Inside, they discovered the 78-year-old African American woman deceased. The circumstances of her death were immediately suspicious, as she was found with her hands bound.
An investigation into her death quickly determined that she had been the victim of a homicide. The cause of her death was determined to be strangulation, a violent end to a long life.
The details of what led to this tragic event in her home have not been made public. To date, there has been no information released regarding any arrests or suspects in the murder of Sadie Mack. The case remains unsolved, leaving her community and family without answers or a sense of justice for her untimely and violent death.
