April 17, 1980 - Madison, WI - Unsolved
The body of Susan LeMahieu was found lying in a marshy area in the UW Arboretum about 150 feet from a parking lot. A 1974 graduate of Madison East High,
Susan was mildly mentaly handicapped and physically handicapped. While she had been reported missing on December 15, 1979 police did not initially suspect foul play
and had considered the possibility that she had run off or was wandering around confused as a result of her disabilities. An autopsy determined that she
had died as a result of multiple stab wounds to the chest.
