In a significant development in a cold case dating back to 1980, police have arrested a 78-year-old man in connection with the murder of a nursing student in Austin, Texas. The victim, Susan Leigh Wolfe, was just 25 years old when she was abducted, sexually assaulted, strangled, and shot on a January evening.
The arrest of Deck Brewer Jr. came after a breakthrough in the case, with DNA evidence linking him to the crime scene. Wolfe, a nursing student at the University of Texas at Austin, was kidnapped while walking to a friend's house, just a block away from her home. A witness reported seeing a man forcing her into a car, which matched the description of a 1970 Dodge Polara.
