    Murder on the Jersey Shore: How a Best Friend's Betrayal Unmasked a Killer | The Case of Sarah Stern | UNSEEN

    “You can’t blame me for doing this” - On December 3, 2016, at 2:46 a.m., Neptune City police discover 19-year-old Sarah Stern’s abandoned car on the Route 35 bridge with the keys still inside. Officers head to Sarah’s home and check in with friends and family, but she is nowhere to be found. For over a month, there is no sign of Sarah—until investigators receive a call from an old classmate living more than 1,000 miles away from the Jersey Shore. Anthony Curry, an aspiring filmmaker, recalls a movie idea his best friend, Liam McAtasney, shared with him—one that reveals the disturbing truth behind what happened to Sarah. Now, with the case going cold, Anthony will do whatever it takes to bring Sarah’s killer to justice. - Credits: Director, editor & writer: Alexandre Gendron Researchers: Amanda Hein & Bianca Yzabelle Tan Voiceover: Will Akana Producer: Salim Sader Assistant editor: Hannah Alicbusan Distribution manager: Kat Gardilcic - Sources: Getty Images “With Friends Like These.” ABC 20/20: American Broadcasting Company, Inc. 2019. “The Disappearance of Sarah Stern.” On the Case with Paula Zhan: Weinberger Media and Scott Sternberg Productions. 2019 “Friends Til the End.” American Justice: A&E Television Networks, LLC. 2021 “The Interrogation Tapes: A Special Edition of 20/20”, American Broadcasting Company, Inc, 2024. “The Betrayal of Sarah Stern” Dateline: NBC Universal Media, LLC, 2019. “Fatal Friendship.” Crime Files: N12N, LLC. 2024. “Make Me Not Look Guilty” Signs of a Psychopath, Red Marble Media, 2025. “Liam's Shocking Secret Unveiled...You Won't Believe His Arrogance!” True Psych Ward, 2023. “Betrayal of Sarah Stern - Body Cam Footage Part 1” True Psych Ward, 2023. “How police set up sting operation to record Sarah Stern's killer confessing to murder” ABC News, 2019. “Sarah Stern Search Effort” Alan Katana, 2016. “Search For Sarah Stern's Body To Start Friday”, CBS New York, 2017. “20/20 Mar 1 Pt 3: Community comes together to search for Sarah Stern” ABC News, 2019. “Anthony Edward Curry's TRAP Official Trailer” Anthony Curry, 2025.
