UNM police seek clues in cold case

April 14, 2011

It's the only unsolved murder at University of New Mexico's campus, occurring more than 15 years ago. Now UNM police have come forward again to ask for the public's help in finding Lisa Wortman's killer. Investigators haven't had a solid lead in the case since 2006, and they're confident that someone out there knows something about the murder. The 22 year old, who had aspirations of becoming a lawyer, was last seen alive by her family in May 1994. She disappeared for a month, and then her dismembered body was found 30 feet down a manhole in three feet of sewer water. Police think whoever killed her knew her very well and do not believe her murder was a random act. If you have any information that could help police out, call Crimestoppers at (505) 843-STOP.
