Lou Allen Goettsch Part 1 of 2: The Confession

El Paso County Sheriff’s Office Investigators didn’t necessarily uncover any tangible evidence in the 1957 disappearances of Margaret and William Patterson but circumstantial evidence, and scenarios that this evidence allows, seems endless. They found some things about William’s personal life that they couldn’t ignore…things that began painting a different picture of the couple than what associates and employees of the Patterson’s originally let on to. Obviously, though, even after shocking accusations in the 1980s and a witness coming forward even later than that, police couldn’t find the pieces that allow for a clear theory as to what happened to Margaret and William.

When the investigation of the 1957 disappearances of Margaret and William Patterson finally began months after the couple was last seen, it was obvious from the get-go that the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office had lost access to evidence and information that would have proved invaluable. Instead, investigators were faced with trying to fit pieces together that didn’t necessarily belong to the same puzzle. The press was happily along for the sensational and highly speculative ride. Business associates of the Patterson’s seemed to be creating their own narrative as well, one that largely hung on the loose hinges of a poor explanation: that William and Margaret had taken an extended vacation and didn’t wish to disclose their whereabouts.

Many legends and mysteries exist around the West Texas City of El Paso but, perhaps, no one story from the city is more mysterious than the 1957 disappearances of William and Margaret Patterson. The case is complicated and convoluted and theories about what happened to the successful couple range from the absurd to the sinister. For the first several weeks after they vanished, the Patterson’s were thought to have taken off on an impulsive vacation but when their prized feline, Tommy, emerged disheveled and confused, neighbors and friends began fearing the worst.

When someone’s life is taken, what is left behind is trauma, anguish, confusion, and just about any other type of emotion one can imagine that feeds the cyclical state of grief which, no matter how universally accepted one definition is, is dealt with in a multitude of way whether negative or positive.

This is the story of Suzie’s Legacy. You can support gone cold podcast – texas true crime by visiting https//:www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast.

Though we had originally intended to close Suzie's case with the story of her legacy this episode, fate had other plans in mind. We were contacted by an individual, a close friend of Suzie's, and what she had to say was something we felt needed to be shared before we closed the Suzie Mages story. The episode is brief but it helps shine light on a question that has gone unanswered for decades.

Two individuals particularly stuck out to police and Del and Mary in Suzie’s disappearance and murder. One became a person of interest early on and the other, much to Mary and Del’s dismay, seemed to have not been taken incredibly seriously by law enforcement. A well-known drifter also enters the case several years after. You can support gone cold podcast – texas true crime by visiting https//:www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast.

There are many strange circumstances surrounding Suzie Mages’ disappearance and murder. From a similar unsolved homicide to a homicide that seemed to use that unsolved case and  Suzie’s as an attempt to throw off police, Dallas and Denton Police were chasing leads and connections that seemed to be smoke screens. The Mages family, of course, were also continuously following their own leads in hopes to find the person or persons responsible for their beloved Suzie’s unjust and untimely demise. This episode follows the investigation as closely as possible, not only looking at the bizarre events surrounding the case but also the few known facts.

In 1977, a crime took place in Denton, Texas that shook the community to its core; though you’d hardly call Denton “uneventful,” it was a place where residents and college students felt safe and free. Suzanne Marie Mages was a twelve-year-old girl who was adored by all who met her and due to the proximity of her mother’s restaurant to lively Fry Street, many were touched by the continuously happy and smiling early adolescent. In September of that year, however, Suzie vanished, leaving little clues to her whereabouts or the identity of the man she was last seen talking to. Suzie wouldn’t be seen alive again. This is the story of who Suzie was, what happened the day she disappeared, and how it affected Denton.
