DNA Evidence Cracks 44-Year-Old Cold Case of Texas Nursing Student's Murder

Austin police charge 78-year-old Deck Brewer Jr. with the 1980 abduction, sexual assault, and killing of Susan Leigh Wolfe.

Wolfe was kidnapped near her home while walking to a friend's house on January 9, 1980.
Her body was discovered the next morning in an alley, showing signs of strangulation, a gunshot wound, and sexual assault.
Advancements in DNA technology led to the identification of Brewer, who is currently serving time for an unrelated crime.
Brewer's DNA matched evidence collected during Wolfe's autopsy, leading to his arrest.
Authorities continue to search for an additional suspect who was seen in the car during the abduction.
