Gone Cold - Texas True Crime27 Maalis 2023

The Slaying of Susan Leigh Wolfe

On Wednesday, January 9th, 1980, in the North Loop neighborhood of Austin, a man witnessed a young woman’s abduction. The following day, the body of that woman, 25-year-old University of Texas student Susan Leigh Wolfe, was found slain in an alley more than 4 miles away. Because the witness to the abduction was in the auto business, he was able to give Austin Police Detectives what might have been the best vehicle description the department had ever seen. But it didn’t matter; though the car had been seen by folks in the neighborhood before, as well as elsewhere in town, it was apparently never seen again. Susan Wolfe’s murder case went cold. When Austin Police pinned a few of their murders on Henry Lee Lucas and Ottis Elwood Toole, murders they could not have committed, the witness in Susan’s case had made it virtually impossible to pin her murder on them, luckily. But unfortunately, her case faded into obscurity as the years and decades passed.
