Susan Peterson, a 27-year-old Caucasian woman, was found dead on February 10, 1991. Her death was part of a series of murders that took place in Dallas, Texas, between 1988 and 1991. Charles Albright, also known as "The Eyeball Killer," was suspected of being involved in her murder. Albright was convicted of murdering Shirley Williams, another victim whose body was found with the eyes removed.
Although charges were later dropped due to lack of evidence, Albright remained the prime suspect in the murders of Rhonda Bowie, Mary Lou Pratt, and Susan Peterson.
Albright's criminal history included a series of offenses, starting from petty theft to more serious crimes such as aggravated assault and sexual molestation. He was known for his abnormal obsession with eyes, which led to the media dubbing him "The Eyeball Killer." Despite his conviction for the murder of Shirley Williams, Albright was never formally charged for the murders of Bowie, Pratt, and Peterson, although their cases were used as evidence in his trial.
The investigation into Susan Peterson's death revealed that her body, like those of the other victims, had been found with the eyes surgically removed. This gruesome detail linked her murder to the other cases attributed to Albright. The lack of concrete evidence, however, meant that Albright could not be prosecuted for her murder, leaving the case officially unsolved.
In summary, Susan Peterson's death remains a chilling part of the series of murders attributed to Charles Albright. Despite the lack of formal charges, Albright's connection to the case and his subsequent conviction for another murder have left a lasting impact on the investigation into her death.
