After more than a quarter-century, a decades-old cold case haunting the streets of Northeast D.C. has seen a significant breakthrough. The Metropolitan Police Department has proudly announced the arrest of a suspect connected to the homicide of Susan Cvengros, who at the time of her death in 1999 was just 24 years old. According to information found on MPD's website, the suspect, now identified as 70-year-old George Mudd of Northeast, D.C., stands charged with First Degree Murder while Armed (Premeditated).
Officers were first called to the scene of the crime on May 21, 1999, after receiving reports of an unconscious person located in the 400 block of F Street, Northeast. Upon their arrival, they made the grim discovery of Cvengros’ body, which had sustained multiple stab wounds. Despite emergency medical efforts, she was pronounced dead at the scene. The arrest later resulted from a warrant issued by the DC Superior Court.
The Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested Mudd on Tuesday, 26 years after the fatal incident. Officials say the arrest highlights the joint efforts of multiple agencies working to solve long-standing cases. The case number associated with this incident is CCN: 99277379, and further details of the case remain under the protection of ongoing legal processes.
