Cold case -Tips sought in slashing death of former dancer
05/17/09
Susan Noelle Cvengros was a small-town South Carolina girl who was trying to turn her life around when she was stabbed to death in her Northeast Washington apartment.
The 24-year-old had lived in D.C. for about 18 months and had recently quit her job as $500-a-night exotic dancer in Georgetown to work as a $3-an-hour waitress at Union Station. Family members said she wanted to better herself, quit taking drugs and get out of the sex industry.
One afternoon, a former roommate found Susan in her basement apartment at 416 F St. NE. Cvengros was partially clothed and sprawled across a bed. Her throat had been cut from ear to ear. She had been stabbed several times.
That was in 1998.
“Ten years is too long,” said her older sister, Stephanie Cvengros, of West Columbia, S.C. “[The suspect] took something from me that I can never replace. He took away the only aunt that my two children will ever have.”
Stephanie’s children, 11 and 12, now point at Susan’s photos and say, “That’s my Aunt Sue, but she’s in heaven now.”
Stephanie was surprised when Susan started dancing in Baltimore, before moving to D.C.
“We were two totally different people. I’m the stubborn one, she wasn’t the troublemaker.
“She was a straight-A student,” Stephanie said. “She just could draw, paint and was in the chorus, play guitar and write music. She the one that had all the talent.”
The killer didn’t appear to have forced his way into her apartment, police said. Officers found paraphernalia associated with heroin in the residence.
Police interviewed several men and eliminated some of the suspects based on DNA evidence, said Detective Jim Trainum of the Violent Crime Case Review Project, D.C.’s cold case unit.
The DNA profile has been added to the national database, and police have scheduled more evaluations of work already done.
Anyone with information may contact police at 888-919-2776 or through a text-messaging number: 50-411. All calls are confidential, and you will not be required to give your name.
