COLD CASE SOLVED: The Jennifer Hoffman Mystery | Austin 1991 | DNA Finally Reveals the Truth
On October 15, 1991, 22-year-old psychology student Jennifer Hoffman vanished from a University of Texas library parking lot in Austin. Her coffee cup was still warm. Her backpack scattered across the asphalt. Six weeks later, her body was discovered at Lake Travis, and a 28-year investigation began that would span decades of technological advancement, failed leads, and a family's relentless pursuit of justice.
This is the story of how cutting-edge DNA analysis and genetic genealogy finally identified her killer in 2020, bringing closure to one of Austin's most haunting unsolved mysteries.
