A woman is found shot to death in a vacant field On March 2, 1998, the body of 38-year-old Lisa Lynn Woods was found in a vacant field near an abandoned fire station on North San Marcos Street in San Antonio, Texas. Woods had suffered a gunshot wound to the head, and evidence suggested that she was killed elsewhere before being left in the lot. Her body showed signs of post-mortem handling, as her shoes had been placed on her chest, and she was dressed only in grey sweatpants.
Additionally, a cloth was tied over her face, indicating a possible deliberate act to conceal her identity or inflict further indignity.
The investigation into Woods' death revealed that the field where she was found was an isolated location, raising questions about how she was brought there unnoticed. The condition of her body and the evidence at the scene pointed to a violent and targeted killing. Authorities suspect that someone must have information about her death, but despite multiple appeals for information from the public, the case remains unsolved. The San Antonio Police Department and Texas Department of Public Safety have continued to classify it as an active cold case, hoping to generate new leads that might eventually solve the crime.
The details of the homicide, particularly the positioning of her body and the use of a firearm, suggest a personal element in the crime. This, along with the deliberate placement of her belongings, makes investigators believe that the killer may have known her. Authorities are still seeking any information that could lead to the identification of those responsible for her murder. They continue to encourage individuals with relevant knowledge to come forward and help bring justice for Lisa Lynn Woods.
