On the morning of November 13, 1992, Suzanne Marie Hummel, a 39-year-old mother of two, parked in the busy lot of Rice Epicurean Market at Kirby and West Alabama in Houston, a familiar spot she used to wait before work. While eating breakfast in her car, she was approached by a woman demanding her purse. Within seconds, a .22-caliber shot tore through Suzanne’s arm and chest, and the assailant fled, vanishing into morning traffic and leaving her fighting for her life.<br /><br />Suzanne managed to drive forward and crash into a nearby bus shelter, drawing the attention of witnesses. Before losing consciousness forever, she gave one vital clue. <br /><br />Houston Police were stunned. A broad-daylight murder in a high-traffic shopping hub bordering River Oaks should have come with witnesses and leads. Instead, detectives were left with a scattered purse, a single gunshot, and the possibility of a waiting getaway vehicle. Whether the killer acted alone remained uncertain.<br /><br />Today, Suzanne’s case remains open and unsolved. Police believe someone did see something that morning. They just haven’t spoken yet.<br /><br />If you have any information about the murder of Suzanne Marie Hummel, please contact the Houston Police Department’s Homicide Division Cold Case unit at (713) 308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at (713) 222-8477.<br /><br />You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast<br /><br />Find us at https://www.gonecold.com<br /><br />For Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.com<br /><br />Follow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.
