YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFor 37 years the murder of Susan Schmidt went unsolved. Today the Glendale Police Department announces an arrest in its oldest cold case. On Wednesday, March 22, 1978, just after 8:30pm, the Glendale Police Department responded to a call of an injured person in a car in the roadway at 55th Avenue, just south of Northern. Both the Glendale Police and Glendale Fire Departments responded to find 21-year old Susan Schmidt, a Glendale resident, slumped in her vehicle after being shot multiple times. Susan was transported to a local hospital where she was later pronounced deceased. Working closely with the Maricopa County Attorney's Office and after appearing before a Grand Jury, an arrest warrant was obtained against Edward Meinhold for the murder (1st Degree Homicide) of Susan Schmidt in 1978. Detective Geisler travelled back to Virginia and, with assistance from the Bristol Police Department in Virginia, arrested Meinhold on August 21, 2015. Meinhold is awaiting extradition back to Arizona.
