Austin police said Susan Leigh Wolfe, 25, was kidnapped the same day she enrolled at the University of Texas Austin School of Nursing.
A 78-year-old man has been charged in the murder of a University of Texas Austin nursing student who was found fatally shot in an alley 40 years ago, a day after she enrolled in the school, Austin Police announced Friday.
Deck Brewer Jr., 78, who is already serving time in Massachusetts for an unrelated crime, is now accused of killing 25-year-old Susan Leigh Wolfe after modern forensics matched his DNA with that found on the victim, authorities said.
Wolfe was kidnapped a block away from her home while walking to a friend’s house at around 10 p.m. on Jan. 9, 1980, police said. She had enrolled at the University of Texas Austin School of Nursing that same day.
A witness to the kidnapping told detectives they observed a person exiting a 1970 Dodge Polara and placing a coat over Wolfe’s head before forcing her into the car, police stated. Wolfe’s body was found the next morning in Austin.
The medical examiner found evidence that Wolfe had been strangled, but determined she died from a single gunshot wound to the head, according to police. A pathologist also found evidence that the victim was sexually assaulted by one of the suspects.
