Episode description

On March 31st, 1981, twenty-one-year-old Lou Allen Goettsch had it made. A couple days earlier, he received a decent sized settlement check for a work injury he’d sustained earlier in the year, opened up a checking account, and put a deposit and first month’s rent on a new apartment. Then, he vanished into thin air. Since the disappearance wasn’t reported for two months, Abilene, Texas Police had a hard time figuring out where to start searching for the young man. In fact, there were absolutely no clues that cut them a break in that department. That year, two other young adults disappeared from Abilene, further complicating and taking resources away from one another. Twelve years after he disappeared, a man confessed to Lou’s murder.

If you have any information about the disappearance of Lou Allen Goettsch, please contact Abilene Crime Stoppers at 800-868-8477.
