Lillian Morales “Lillie” Hefele was 40 when she died 40 years ago and in all that time nobody’s been charged with her murder, although police do have at least some evidence in hand.

Hefele, the mother of two and the wife of a Waco insurance agent, was found on Feb. 27, 1980 inside her red and white 1976 Cadillac at 3900 Sansom Park Rd., in Buck Sansom Park in Fort Worth, dead from two gunshot wounds.

She’s buried in Waco’s Oakwood Cemetery.

KWTX made no fewer than 12 phone calls and sent half-a-dozen emails to Det. Leah Wagner, the only investigator assigned to the Fort Worth Police Department’s cold case unit, but neither calls nor emails elicited any response.
