November 24, 2009 Nancy Grace Cold CasePosted: 10:15 AM ET
Police suspect teen's '02 slaying was gang related New York (CNN) – Seven years ago, police asked Fabiola Saavedra to view photographs to identify a body they believed to be her 15-year-old sister, Brenda Sierra. She recognized a pair of hoop earrings and knew it was Brenda. Saavedra had given her sister the earrings, studded with diamonds and sapphires, as a gift a few days earlier.

"Those earrings were on her ears in the photos cops showed me on that horrible Monday," Saavedra recalled, sobbing. The remains were discovered that October weekend in 2002 in the San Bernardino National Forest, some 50 miles from their home in East Los Angeles, California. Carrying a backpack, Sierra left her house at 7 a.m. October 18 to walk the five blocks to her best friend's house. Her friend's mother planned to take the two sophomores to school together. She never arrived at her friend's house. No one knew Brenda was missing for most of the day because a teacher who took attendance mistakenly marked her as present. Posted by: Rupa Mikkilineni
