Who Murdered Susan Galvin?
In this episode of Lost Girls, hosts Amy Smith and LaDonna Humphrey explore the unsolved murder of Susan Galvin, a 20-year-old records clerk for the Seattle Police Department. In July 1967, Susan was last seen leaving work but never made it home. Days later, her body was discovered in a parking garage near the Seattle Center, with evidence of strangulation and sexual assault. Despite extensive investigations, her killer remained unidentified for decades.With the advancement of forensic technology, investigators finally linked a suspect to the crime in 2019—an entertainer active in the 1960s—though he had died in 1987, leaving no possibility for prosecution. While this revelation provided some answers, Susan's case remains a tragic reminder of justice delayed. The hosts emphasize the importance of continued efforts in solving cold cases and encourage anyone with information to come forward.
