On September 20, 1983, 22-year-old Laurie Stout was working as a late-night office cleaner in Austin, TX. That night was like any other, except that this time, Laurie wouldn't make it back home to her one-year-old daughter and husband. As she performed her duties, she was ambushed from behind, sexually assaulted, and then strangled to death. Her body was found the following morning by a tenant in the restroom.
As the investigation into Laurie's murder began, detectives believed they had the perfect suspect, her husband, Gary. But when evidence at the scene excluded Gary, it was time to shift their attention elsewhere. Suspect after suspect was cleared, and it would be years before advances in DNA testing finally provided a match to Laurie's killer.
Join us for today's episode to learn what happened to Laurie Stout, and how her killer was finally apprehended. So, grab your cafecito, and let's get started.
