Carol Sue Snyder, a 21-year-old woman, was last seen in Richardson, Texas, on June 16, 1982. For decades, her disappearance remained a mystery, with authorities believing she had been taken against her will. At the time she went missing, Snyder was reportedly suffering from depression. Initial information suggested she may have traveled to the area of Cordell, Oklahoma, after she was last seen.
Tragically, Snyder's case took a significant turn in September 2023 when human remains found decades earlier were identified as hers. On June 22, 1982, just six days after she was last seen, the body of a woman was discovered in a creek under a bridge on US Route 183 in Clinton, Oklahoma. An autopsy revealed that the woman had been shot in the head, and her death was ruled a homicide. For 41 years, the identity of this woman remained unknown.
The identification of the remains as Carol Sue Snyder in September 2023 officially closed her missing person case and reclassified it as a homicide investigation. This breakthrough brought an end to the long period of uncertainty for her family and shifted the focus of law enforcement to finding the person or persons responsible for her death. Despite this significant development, few other details about the investigation into her murder have been made public.Last Seen: Jun 16, 1982
