The Savage Slaying of Esther Gevara Broberg

In May of 1983, 35-year-old Esther Broberg was dropped off by her husband at an after hours drinking joint in East Austin, Texas. There, she hung out with her close friend and some others. Just as the sun threatened to rise, the group parted ways. But Esther never made it home. Instead, just a few hours later, passersby at EH Givens Park, not far from where she’d been, discovered Esther Broberg’s body. The scene was shocking; the violence acted out on the mother of two was unfathomable. Unforgivable. The Austin Police quickly developed suspects in the case, and a series of confessions, but there could be no trial. Even after one of the suspect’s DNA matched evidence found on Esther’s body a couple decades later, the same roadblocks remained.

If you have any information about the abduction, rape, and murder of Esther Gevara Broberg, please call the Austin Police Department Homicide Tip line at 512-477-3588. The APD Cold Case Unit can also be contacted by e-mail at APDColdCaseMissingPersons@austintexas.gov. Or, provide information by calling Crime Stoppers at 512-472-8477.
