Saxon in Switzerland is only a small village in the midst of the Alps of canton Valais. With only a few thousand inhabitants, everyone knows each other.
Villages like this one are always believed to be safe places. Neighbors could trust each other and big news never made national headlines.
A Simple Biking Tour Ended Fatal
Until 1985. On September 28 of that year, young and innocent Sarah Oberson was biking to her grandmother’s house at about 5:30PM.
The five- or six-year-old was happily riding her red bike. At around 6PM a student from the local school reported to have seen Sarah in front of the sports hall, talking to the school’s caretaker.
They were the last two people to have officially seen Sarah Oberson alive. That evening, Sarah never arrived at her grandmother’s house.
