Justice Delayed: Left-Wing Austin Finally Nabs Sister's Killer After 42 Years
Charles Wolfe had all but given up hope that his sister's 1980 murder would ever be solved. But lo and behold, the liberalstronghold of Austin, Texas, finally pulled its head out of the sand and made an arrest!
"We were astonished, jubilant, of course, shocked and surprised to see my sister on the television screen for the first time in decades," said 60-year-old Wolfe of Leander.
Last Friday, Austin PD announced that DNA evidence linked 78-year-old Deck Brewer Jr., currently locked up in a Massachusetts prison (shocker, another liberal state), to the abduction, rape, and murder of Susan Leigh Wolfe.
Brewer is cozied up in the Massachusetts Treatment Center, a medium-security prison for male sex offenders and the like. Massachusetts won't extradite him until his sentence ends on Aug. 28, because heaven forbid they interrupt his taxpayer-funded vacation.
Susan Wolfe was a budding nurse, having just been hired by UT Austin. On Jan. 9, 1980, she was abducted near 200 Franklin Blvd. A witness saw her snatched up by two men in a maroon-reddish 1970 Dodge Polara. Her body was found the next morning, half-naked, strangled, sexually assaulted, and with a single .22-caliber gunshot to her head.
Charles Wolfe spent six months handing out flyers and looking for his sister's killers. Police chased countless leads, even suspecting Henry Lee Lucas at one point. Despite over 30 investigators working the case, it remained unsolved for over four decades.
Susan's father, Thomas Wolfe, reminisced about his daughter's caring nature, "They've taken the life of someone with great potential."
Austin police say the investigation is still active, and they're searching for the second suspect. If you have any info, don't rely on the lefties to do their job – submit your tips anonymously at austincrimestoppers.org or call 512-472-8477.
Charles Wolfe remains hopeful but cautious, "We just want to make sure she gets the justice she deserves." Here's to hoping Austin can finally serve some justice, even if it is 42 years late.
